Is there a penalty for driving below the minimum speed limit on highways?
1 Answers
According to relevant laws and regulations, driving below the minimum speed limit by less than 20% will not result in a fine. However, if the speed is more than 20% below the minimum speed limit (i.e., driving below 20% of the prescribed minimum speed on highways), it will result in a 3-point deduction and a warning or fine. Below are the highway speed limit rules: 1. For roads with 2 lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 km/h. 2. For roads with 3 or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110 km/h, and the minimum speed for the middle lane is 90 km/h. If the speed indicated by road speed limit signs differs from the above lane speed regulations, drivers should follow the speed indicated by the road speed limit signs.
