How to Handle Speeding 10% Over the Limit on Highways?
3 Answers
Exceeding the speed limit by 10% but less than 20% on highways will result in a fine and 3 demerit points. The following are the disadvantages of speeding: 1. Speeding affects the safety performance of the vehicle: Speeding disrupts the vehicle's operational indices in specific environments, increases the vehicle's workload and stress, and accelerates the wear and tear of components. This is particularly detrimental to the tires, causing not only jumpy and skidding wear but also raising the friction temperature, which can easily lead to tire aging and deformation, increasing the risk of blowouts. 2. Speeding affects the driver's ability to react promptly and accurately: Prolonged speeding alters the driver's response to weak stimuli, causing reactions to stimuli that should not trigger a response and delayed reactions to those that should.
A few days ago, I was caught speeding 10% over the limit on the highway, and the penalties vary slightly by region. Generally, speeding within 10% doesn’t result in points or fines, but the traffic police may issue a warning. After receiving the violation notification on my phone, I checked the offense record through the Traffic Management 12123 APP. Handling it was quite simple—just confirm the violation details in the app and click ‘Accept Penalty’ to complete the process. However, make sure to address it on time, as delays might affect your vehicle’s annual inspection. I recommend everyone install a navigation app with a speeding alert feature, as speeding can be distracting and makes it harder to react to sudden situations.
I often drive on highways and have encountered similar situations. Exceeding the speed limit by 10% is not considered severe, but according to the Road Traffic Law, you still need to accept a warning. The handling method is quite flexible—you can process it online via the 12123 APP or visit the local vehicle management office. Once, I forgot to handle it, and as a result, I received fewer discounts when renewing my car insurance. So now, I always deal with traffic violations promptly. Before hitting the highway, remember to check if the speed limit reminder on your dashboard is activated. Some older cars don’t have this feature, so I installed a heads-up display to see speed changes in real-time and avoid unintentional speeding. Safety comes first—even a slight overspeed increases risks.
