How to Handle Speeding Exceeding 60%?
3 Answers
According to Article 99 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, if a motor vehicle exceeds the prescribed speed limit by 50%, the driver's license may be revoked in addition to other penalties. The traffic management department of the public security authority will impose corresponding fines.
A friend of mine was heavily fined last year for speeding 60% over the limit on the highway. You really don't want to try this—if caught by the police, they'll issue a ticket immediately, with fines ranging from at least one to two thousand yuan, a full 12-point deduction, and possibly a license suspension for six months to a year. If there's a dashcam or surveillance footage, there's no escaping it—you'll have to accept the penalty and later deal with the traffic police. Speeding this severely mainly means losing control of the car, with a high risk of tire skidding, and if an accident happens, it's no longer just about money. My advice is to always keep an eye on the speedometer when driving. Installing a GPS device with a speeding alert can help you develop good habits—safety should always come first.
As a new dad, I'm especially concerned about speeding. Going 60% over the limit is no joke—doing 160 in a 100 zone means immediate license suspension if caught by police, leaving the whole family anxious. The fines are staggering, starting at thousands, and next year's insurance could jump by 30%. Most crucially, it's dangerously risky—even infant seats can't protect your child if you lose control. My neighbor crashed into barriers in a similar situation; thankfully no one was hurt but repairs cost 10,000 yuan. On highways, I always set speed alerts and make checking tire pressure a habit to avoid impulsive acceleration.
