1 Answers
According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the penalties for speeding are as follows: Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% results in no fine but 3 demerit points; exceeding by 10% to less than 20% incurs a fine and 3 demerit points; exceeding by 20% to less than 50% incurs a fine and 3 demerit points; exceeding by 50% to less than 70% incurs a fine and 6 demerit points, with possible additional penalties. Below is relevant information: Definition: Speeding, as the name suggests, refers to driving above the prescribed speed limit. Generally, on highways, the speed limit for small vehicles is 120 km/h, while for large vehicles it is 100 km/h; in tunnels, the limit is 80 km/h; and in construction zones, continuous downhill sections, and continuous curves, the speed limits are even lower. Speed determination: Speed measuring devices used by traffic police departments are regularly calibrated by national measurement authorities and can only be used after passing calibration. Photos used as evidence for speeding penalties must meet three conditions: the photo must show the front of the vehicle with only one car in the frame, two consecutive photos must be taken, and the license plate number must be clearly visible along with the entire car (e.g., photos showing only half of the car are not acceptable).
