Driving at 100 km/h on a highway with an 80 km/h speed limit is considered speeding. The speeding percentage is calculated as [(Actual Speed - Speed Limit) / Speed Limit] × 100%, which is (100-80)/80×100%=20/80×100%=25%. This means driving at 100 km/h in an 80 km/h zone exceeds the speed limit by 25%. The penalties for speeding on highways are as follows: 1. Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% results in a warning, with no fine or penalty points. 2. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20% incurs a fine of 200 RMB and 3 penalty points. 3. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50% incurs a fine of 200 RMB and 6 penalty points. 4. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 50% incurs a fine of 2000 RMB and 12 penalty points.
