1 Answers
On highways, the speed limit for small passenger vehicles is 120 km/h, while for trucks it is 100 km/h. In China, pickup trucks are classified as trucks, meaning they should adhere to the 100 km/h speed limit on highways. The details are as follows: 1. Speed Limit: Pickup trucks are categorized as multi-purpose trucks in China's vehicle classification. Although they are small in size, they fall under the truck category. According to China's Road Traffic Safety Implementation Regulations, the maximum speed for small passenger vehicles on highways must not exceed 120 km/h, while other motor vehicles must not exceed 100 km/h, and motorcycles must not exceed 80 km/h. 2. Penalties: According to traffic laws, if a small passenger vehicle exceeds the speed limit by less than 20%, a warning will be issued. For speeding between 20% and 50%, a fine of 200 RMB and 3 demerit points will be imposed. For speeding between 50% and 70%, a fine of 1,000 RMB and 6 demerit points or revocation of the driver's license may apply. For speeding over 70%, a fine of 2,000 RMB and revocation of the driver's license will be imposed.
