Driving a motor vehicle at a speed exceeding 70% of the prescribed limit will result in 12 demerit points and a fine ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan. Here are the impacts of speeding: 1. Speeding accelerates the wear and tear of vehicle components. The faster the speed, the more it disrupts the vehicle's operational indices in specific environments, increasing the vehicle's workload and stress, thereby accelerating the wear and tear of components. 2. Speeding extends the non-safe braking period. A vehicle's braking distance is primarily determined by its speed. Due to inertia, the faster the speed, the longer the braking distance, and the longer the non-safe braking period. 3. Speeding reduces the driver's reaction time. Speeding increases the frequency of overtaking. Each overtaking maneuver requires higher speeds for fast passing, while the overtaken vehicle must slow down to yield, thereby increasing the number of weaving and conflict points on the road. During this process, the driver's reaction time is significantly reduced, increasing the likelihood of accidents.

Last time I got caught speeding, I was over 70% but less than 100% of the speed limit, and the penalties were severe. The fine was over 2,000 yuan, but the exact amount depends on the local traffic bureau's regulations—definitely not a small sum. All 12 points on my license were deducted, meaning I couldn’t use my license anymore. Worse, my license was suspended for six months, during which I couldn’t drive and had to retake the written test (Subject One) to get it back. In more serious cases, the traffic police might detain you for a few days—I’ve heard of colleagues being 'invited for tea.' For safety, it’s better to use cruise control on highways or download a navigation app with speed limit alerts. Speeding isn’t worth the risk—if an accident happens, it’s game over. Nowadays, there are speed cameras everywhere on highways.

I learned about this from the perspective of traffic regulations. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 70% but less than 100% is considered a serious violation. According to China's Traffic Safety Law, the fine ranges between 2,000 and 5,000 yuan, depending on provincial standards. The maximum penalty is 12 demerit points in one go, which immediately invalidates the driver's license, requiring it to be suspended for six months before retaking the theoretical exam. Administrative detention may also be imposed, up to 15 days. It also affects vehicle insurance, with premiums soaring next year. It's advisable to check the local traffic police app for detailed penalties. Don't delay handling a speeding ticket, or additional fines will apply. Pay attention to speed limit changes on road signs while driving, and avoid accelerating to save time.

I've experienced speeding tickets before. Exceeding the limit by 70-80 km/h results in heavy fines and severe point deductions. A direct 12-point deduction means your license is invalidated temporarily, prohibiting you from driving and requiring you to undergo re-education and testing. Not only does the fine hurt your wallet, but if you cause an accident, you might even face jail time. Driving slower and steadier is the way to go—safety should always come first.
