Is driving at 70 in a 50 speed limit zone considered speeding?

[StephanieLynn]

It is considered speeding, and the speed has already exceeded the limit by 40%. Here is some relevant information about speeding: 1. Penalties for speeding: According to relevant regulations, if a motor vehicle exceeds the speed limit while driving on the road, corresponding penalties will be imposed. Exceeding the limit by less than 10% results in a warning, 20%-50% leads to a deduction of 6 points, and exceeding by 50% results in a deduction of 12 points. 2. Legal provisions on speeding: According to Article 42 of the Road Traffic Law, motor vehicles driving on the road must not exceed the maximum speed indicated by speed limit signs. On road sections without speed limit signs, a safe speed should be maintained. When driving at night or on sections prone to danger, as well as under weather conditions such as sandstorms, hail, rain, snow, fog, or icy roads, the driving speed should be reduced.
