Is driving over 70 considered speeding when the speed limit is 70?

When the speed limit is 70, driving above 70 is considered speeding. Exceeding the prescribed speed limit constitutes speeding, and traffic laws stipulate that exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% is considered a violation. Below is the relevant information: No speeding: Motor vehicles driving on the road must not exceed the maximum speed indicated by speed limit signs. On roads without speed limit signs, a safe speed should be maintained. Lane classification: If there are two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction, the left lane is the fast lane, and the right lane is the slow lane. Vehicles driving in the fast lane should maintain the speed specified for the fast lane. Vehicles that cannot reach the specified speed of the fast lane should drive in the slow lane.

I've been driving for over a decade, and I suggest sticking to 70 km/h as the safest speed. Exceeding 70 is considered speeding, and I'm not exaggerating – I've seen too many friends get caught and fined. Nowadays, roads are mostly equipped with average speed cameras and mobile speed guns, which can catch you at just 71 km/h. Especially during rush hours, never step on the gas just because you're in a hurry – you can't afford to lose those points! Some long downhill sections are particularly prone to speeding, so it's better to shift to a lower gear in advance.

A few days ago, I just took my son to the traffic police station to handle a ticket and happened to ask about this. The officer said that in a 70 km/h speed limit zone, driving at 71 km/h is considered a violation, and speeding is strictly calculated starting from 1 km/h. However, in practice, some speedometers may have an error margin of around 3%, but this cannot be used as an excuse! It's recommended to use navigation software for real-time alerts. Last week, I was caught speeding by 10% on a national highway and had to pay a 200 yuan fine for nothing.

I remember when taking the driving test last year, the instructor repeatedly emphasized: the number on the speed limit sign is the red line! A 70 sign standing there means exceeding 70.1 km/h counts as speeding. The car's speedometer usually shows 2-3 km/h faster than the actual speed, so if it displays 73, the actual speed might be just over 70. But extra caution is needed when encountering school buses or driving in rain—keeping it at 65 is safer. Those with modified tires should be careful, as changes in wheel diameter can distort the speedometer reading.
