How to Handle Speeding Between 20% and 50% Over the Speed Limit?
2 Answers
For speeding between 20% and 50% over the speed limit, a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed, and 6 points will be deducted from the driver's license. Below is the relevant information: 1. Legal Basis: According to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules shall be given a warning or fined between 20 yuan and 200 yuan. If there are other provisions in this law, penalties shall be imposed in accordance with those provisions. 2. Speed Limits on Highways: The maximum speed on highways must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed must not be less than 60 kilometers per hour. However, speed limits may vary on different highways, and drivers must adhere to the speed limits indicated by highway signs and markings.
Once I was caught speeding by a camera, exceeding the speed limit by about 30% but less than 50%, resulting in 6 penalty points and a 200 yuan fine. When I went to handle it, I had to queue at the traffic police station to fill out forms, which was really time-consuming. Afterwards, my insurance premium also increased a bit, costing me a few hundred yuan more per year. If you accumulate multiple speeding violations and lose all your points, you'll have to retake the driving test, which is a huge hassle. I recommend using your phone's navigation app to set speed limit reminders or enabling cruise control to avoid unintentional speeding. Actually, occasionally going a bit faster isn't a big deal, but safe driving is what really matters. Looking back on that speeding incident, I was rushing to a date and ended up being late anyway—completely not worth it. Regularly check your driving record on the 12123 app to prevent similar issues and develop good habits.
