How to Handle Speeding Less Than 10%?
2 Answers
For speeding less than 10%, the penalty is only a warning, with no fine or demerit points. However, the vehicle owner must still bring their ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate to the local traffic police department where the violation occurred to accept the warning penalty. Otherwise, the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection. If there is no fine or demerit points, the processing can be completed by printing the penalty form. Different road sections have different speed limit standards. Generally, the maximum speed limit indicated on highways is no more than 120 km/h. Motor vehicles must not exceed the speed indicated by the speed limit signs and markings. If there are two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction, the maximum speed for urban roads without speed limit signs and markings is 70 km/h, while the maximum speed for closed motor vehicle-only roads and highways is 80 km/h.
I've been driving for over a decade and have encountered a few instances of speeding within 10%. According to traffic regulations, this doesn't incur points or fines, usually just a text message warning. However, once when I was on the highway speeding by 9%, my navigation immediately alerted me to slow down, and the sudden jump in numbers on the dashboard really gave me a scare. Safety isn't something to cut corners on—speeding by 10% might seem minor, but increasing speed from 120 to 132 km/h can add over ten meters to your braking distance. I recommend using a phone navigation app with speed alert functionality and making it a habit to check your dashboard, especially on downhill sections. Speed limits are actually set based on road design, so let's not always look for loopholes—driving steadily is the most worry-free approach.
