Is driving at 55 in a 40 speed limit considered speeding?

[Clifford]

Driving at 55 in a 40 speed limit is considered speeding, but it only results in a warning without fines or penalty points. For violations where the speed exceeds the limit by less than 50% on roads with speed limits below 60 km/h, traffic police will only issue a warning without fines or penalty points. However, exceeding the speed limit by 50% or more will result in fines and penalty points. Below is some relevant information about speeding: 1. Definition of speeding: Speeding refers to a driver operating a vehicle at a speed that exceeds the legal or regulatory speed limit. 2. Introduction to illegal speeding: Speeding by motor vehicles typically includes speeding on highways and other roads. From the perspective of safe driving, exceeding the legally set maximum speed or the speed indicated by speed limit signs, or failing to reduce speed when required by law, all constitute illegal speeding. Penalties are imposed in accordance with Article 86 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China".
