Driving at 125 km/h in a 120 km/h speed limit is considered speeding, but generally, no fine or penalty points will be issued, and a warning may be given instead. The penalties for speeding are as follows: 1. Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% will result in a warning with no immediate penalty; 2. Exceeding the speed limit by 10% to less than 20% will result in 3 penalty points; 3. Exceeding the speed limit by 20% to less than 50% will result in 6 penalty points; 4. Exceeding the speed limit by 50% or more will result in 12 penalty points. Generally, the speed displayed on the dashboard is calibrated to be higher than the actual speed when the car leaves the factory. The difference between the actual speed and the displayed speed is usually between 5 to 10 km/h. However, if the owner modifies the tires, increasing the tire diameter, the actual speed may be very close to or even exceed the speed displayed on the dashboard.
