On roads with a speed limit of over 100 km/h, exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 50% will result in a fine of 200 RMB and 3 demerit points. Below is additional information on handling traffic violations: 1. Timeframe: Vehicle owners must report to the local traffic police station within 15 days of receiving the penalty notification SMS. Failure to do so will incur a late fee of 3% per day, with the maximum late fee not exceeding double the original fine amount. Early handling is advised to avoid unnecessary penalties. 2. Verification method: The quickest and most effective way to check for violations is to visit the vehicle management office or traffic police station with your driver's license, vehicle registration, and ID card. All three documents are mandatory, and it is advisable to carry some cash for immediate processing of any detected violations.
When driving, exceeding the speed limit by 20% but less than 50%, I've seen many friends get fined for this. Generally, this results in 6 points deducted from the driver's license and a fine of around 200 yuan. When I drive on the highway, I'm especially careful not to go too fast. Speeding not only leads to fines and points deduction but also increases the risk of accidents, and it wears out the car tires faster. Thinking about my family in the car, safety comes first. If too many points are deducted, I’d have to attend a course to regain them by the end of the year, which is quite a hassle. I recommend installing a dashcam or using a navigation app on your phone, as it alerts you to speed limit changes, especially in areas prone to speeding like tunnel entrances or downhill slopes.
