Is driving at 85 km/h in an 80 km/h speed limit zone considered speeding?
2 Answers
If the speed limit is 80 km/h and you drive at 85 km/h, it is considered speeding. Below is an introduction to speeding penalties and methods to prevent speeding: Speeding Penalties: If you do not exceed the speed limit by more than 10%, you will not be fined or receive penalty points, but you may receive a warning. If you exceed the speed limit by 10% to 20%, you will be fined and receive 3 penalty points. If you exceed the speed limit by 20% to 50%, you will be fined and receive 6 penalty points. If you exceed the speed limit by more than 50%, you will directly receive 12 penalty points. Methods to Prevent Speeding: Using the cruise control function can help reduce driver fatigue and vehicle fuel consumption. Setting the cruise speed can effectively prevent the vehicle from speeding.
I started driving at the age of 20 and have driven on all kinds of roads. Generally, driving at 85 km/h in an 80 km/h zone is definitely considered speeding, because according to traffic regulations, exceeding the speed limit by even one kilometer is a violation, especially on highways or major urban roads. When cameras capture violations, many systems start penalizing for speeding exceeding 5 km/h. I remember last year on the highway, I was caught driving at 83 km/h and was fined 200 yuan with 3 penalty points—it's no joke. I recommend everyone develop the habit of not being lazy with the accelerator pedal; learn from me and use the cruise control function, setting the speed a bit lower for peace of mind and safety. Driving isn't just about following rules; it's about protecting yourself. Every time I think about speeding, I remind myself that there are many potholes on the road, and every extra kilometer per hour increases the danger.
