How to Deal with Speeding Violations for Cars?
3 Answers
A warning is issued for speeding less than 10%, with no points deducted or fines imposed, and no need to go through the processing; for speeding between 10% and 20%, 3 points will be deducted and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed; for speeding between 20% and 50%, 6 points will be deducted and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed; for speeding over 50%, 12 points will be deducted at once and a fine of 500 yuan will be imposed. Then, as the speeding rate increases, the fine amount will gradually double until the speeding exceeds 100%, at which point the fine amount is capped at 2000 yuan.
I just got a speeding ticket a couple of days ago, which is quite annoying. If you discover a traffic violation, check it immediately; you can view the details on the 12123 app on your phone. Once confirmed it's your vehicle, bring your vehicle registration and driver's license to the traffic police station for processing. Speeding less than 20% results in a 200-yuan fine and 3 demerit points, but exceeding 50% will cost you 12 points. You can pay the fine directly by card at the processing window or use the self-service machine. Don't delay, as late payments incur additional fees. Next time, using navigation with speed limit alerts is the safest bet. On highways, a 20% speeding fine is minor, but getting caught twice means you'll have to retake the driving test, which really isn't worth it.
When dealing with speeding violations, I usually follow a three-step process: First, verify the information to avoid being a victim of license plate cloning. Last year, I encountered a case where someone else cloned my plate, and I had to call 122 to report it before clarifying the situation. The second step is to bring all necessary documents to the traffic management office. Nowadays, the lobby has self-service terminals, which are much faster than queuing, and you can even check surveillance photos on-site. Finally, when paying the fine, pay attention to the payment methods. Scanning a QR code is the most convenient, but for fines over 500, you’ll need to use a bank card. By the way, a reminder: accumulating 12 points means you’ll have to retake the written test (Subject One). My cousin had his license revoked for three speeding violations and had to spend time relearning.
