What are the consequences of being caught speeding by electronic surveillance and having 12 points deducted?
3 Answers
If you are caught speeding by an electronic eye and have 12 points deducted, you must report to the local traffic police station within 15 days of the violation to handle the matter. Speeding over 50% will result in an immediate deduction of 12 points, and the motor vehicle driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the motor vehicle driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days. Introduction to penalties for speeding in highway interval speed monitoring: 1. According to regulations, speeding less than 10% will result in a warning, with no points deducted or fines imposed; 2. According to regulations, speeding between 10% and 20% will result in 3 points deducted and a fine; 3. According to regulations, speeding between 20% and 50% will result in 6 points deducted and a fine; 4. According to regulations, speeding over 50% will result in 12 points deducted, a fine, temporary suspension of the driver's license, and mandatory training.
I remember last year when I got caught by an electronic speed camera and was deducted 12 points—it was really tough. My driver's license was immediately suspended, and I had to report to the local traffic police station for a seven-day training program, which was all about traffic laws and safety knowledge. After the training, I had to retake the theoretical test for Subject 1. I studied for a whole week and barely passed—I was so nervous during the exam. Then came the fine of 2,000 yuan, which really stung. Without a car to drive, I was late for work several times, and my boss almost lost his temper. What’s worse, my insurance premium went up by 20%, and this record will stay in my file for years. The cost of speeding was too high—now I always keep an eye on the speed limit signs and would rather drive slower than take any chances.
The thought of getting 12 points deducted for being caught speeding by electronic surveillance is just overwhelming. The driver's license is definitely revoked on the spot, and you have to go through the traffic bureau's process. The mandatory training takes seven full days of sitting in a classroom, plus the time needed to prepare for the exam. Failing the exam means retaking it, disrupting both work and personal life, and the fine is at least a thousand yuan. Having points on your insurance record doubles the premium the following year, adding to the financial burden. Speeding is inherently dangerous and can easily lead to accidents—regret comes too late. Now when I drive, I set my phone's navigation to remind me of speed limits, strictly control my speed, and always prioritize safety to avoid going through this again.
