What are the penalties for speeding by 10%?
2 Answers
In general, speeding by less than 10% will result in a warning from the traffic management department of the public security authority. However, if a motor vehicle exceeds the speed limit by 50%, the driver will not only receive penalty points but also be fined between 200 and 2,000 yuan by the traffic management department of the public security authority. The following situations will result in a fine between 200 and 2,000 yuan by the traffic management department of the public security authority: 1. Driving a motor vehicle without a driver's license, or when the driver's license has been revoked or temporarily suspended. 2. Allowing someone without a driver's license or whose license has been revoked or temporarily suspended to drive a motor vehicle. 3. Fleeing the scene of a traffic accident without constituting a crime. 4. Exceeding the speed limit by 50%. 5. Forcing a driver to violate traffic safety laws, regulations, or safe driving requirements, resulting in a traffic accident without constituting a crime. 6. Violating traffic control regulations and proceeding forcibly despite dissuasion. 7. Intentionally damaging, moving, or altering traffic facilities, causing harmful consequences without constituting a crime.
The penalty for exceeding the speed limit by 10% is usually a verbal warning or a small fine, generally not exceeding 200 yuan, and no points will be deducted. For example, last time I drove 10% over the speed limit on the highway, a roadside camera caught it, but the police just gave me a simple warning and let me go without any fine. They said exceeding by 10% isn't considered serious, and it's easy to correct slight speeding, mainly to remind everyone to pay attention to safety. However, even though the penalty is light, I still think it's important to be careful because higher speeds mean shorter reaction times, increasing the risk of accidents. Now, I'm used to using navigation apps to monitor my speed in real-time to avoid accidentally speeding. Developing good driving habits is crucial—don't wait until something bad happens to regret it. Safe driving is the way to go.
