I've encountered similar situations while driving in the city. Speeding less than 10% is actually quite common, typically getting caught by speed cameras when driving around 44 in a 40 km/h zone. According to the latest traffic regulations, this counts as a minor violation that usually doesn't incur points but results in a small fine, around 200 yuan. When I receive such tickets, I simply pay them online through the traffic police app to avoid queuing at counters. Accumulating too many of these minor infractions may trigger system warnings and even affect your vehicle's annual inspection results. I recommend developing the habit of using navigation apps with speed alerts - apps like Gaode Maps offer real-time warnings to help maintain proper speed. Always pay attention to your dashboard as well. With complex urban traffic and many pedestrians, even slight speeding can increase braking distance and accident risks. Safety should always come first.
