Is driving at 68 km/h on a national highway with a speed limit of 60 km/h considered speeding?

Driving at 68 km/h on a national highway with a speed limit of 60 km/h does not constitute speeding. Penalties on highways: If the speeding does not exceed 10% of the speed limit, no penalty will be imposed, and only a reminder will be given to the driver. For speeding exceeding 10% but not exceeding 20%, it is considered a minor offense, resulting in a 3-point deduction and a fine. For speeding exceeding 20% but not exceeding 50%, it is considered a more serious offense, and if caught, it will result in a 6-point deduction and a fine. Actual vehicle conditions: During the driving process, vehicles are not measured for speed based on wind speed or high-tech methods like GPS. Instead, the simplest method is used: counting the number of wheel rotations. By calculating the number of wheel rotations per second and combining it with the wheel's circumference, the actual distance traveled by the vehicle can be determined. Through the vehicle system's analysis and calculation, the speed can be directly displayed on the dashboard. From this perspective, even if the dashboard shows 68 km/h, the actual speed might only be 65 km/h or lower. Therefore, the result captured by traffic cameras might only show 65 km/h.
