Is driving at 115 km/h in a 100 km/h speed limit zone considered speeding?

Driving at 115 km/h in a 100 km/h speed limit zone is considered speeding. Here are relevant details about highway speed limits: 1. Concept: Highways shall indicate lane speed limits, with maximum speed not exceeding 120 km/h and minimum speed not below 60 km/h. 2. Legal basis: Article 78 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law". For two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed of the left lane shall be 100 km/h; for three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed of the leftmost lane shall be 110 km/h, and the middle lane shall be 90 km/h.
I've been driving for five or six years, and you really can't take chances with speeding. If the speed limit is 100 and you're driving at 115, that's definitely speeding! The dashboard might show 115 when the actual speed is around 110, but it's still over 10% above the limit. Last month, my friend got caught exactly like this on the highway—3 points deducted and a 200-yuan fine. Actually, speed cameras start capturing at 10% over the limit, and some provinces penalize you right at that threshold. I recommend using navigation to see real-time speed limit alerts, and be extra careful to ease off the gas on downhill sections. Nowadays, there are many average speed check zones, so even momentary speeding will be calculated into your average speed. Safety first—nine out of ten accidents are caused by speeding.
