Speeding. Below are the relevant details: 1. Average speed measurement: This refers to the method of detecting the average speed of a motor vehicle passing through a section of road (speed measurement zone) between two adjacent speed monitoring points. For example, if the distance of a speed measurement zone on a highway is 10 kilometers with a speed limit of 120 km/h, a vehicle that takes 5 minutes or more to complete the distance would have an average speed below 120 km/h, meeting the speed limit requirement; if it takes less than 5 minutes to pass through the zone, it would be speeding. 2. Penalties for speeding in highway average speed zones are as follows: A warning is issued for speeding less than 10% on highways or national roads, with no points deducted or fines imposed; for speeding between 10% and 20%, 3 points are deducted and a fine of 200 yuan is imposed.
