What are the penalties for speeding in section speed control?
3 Answers
Section speed control penalties are as follows: a warning for speeding less than 10%, 3 demerit points plus a fine for exceeding 10%-20%, and 6 demerit points plus a fine for exceeding 20%-50%. Introduction to section speed control: Section speed control involves setting up two checkpoints along a road section. When a vehicle enters the starting checkpoint, the system begins calculating the average speed until the vehicle reaches the ending checkpoint. Based on the calculated average speed, the system determines if the vehicle was speeding. If speeding is detected, cameras within the section will immediately capture the vehicle's image, followed by penalties such as demerit points and fines. Section speed control criteria: Section speed control calculates the average speed over a specific road section. It determines whether a vehicle is speeding by measuring its travel speed within the designated area.
I remember last time on a long highway trip, I encountered an average speed check zone and accidentally pressed the accelerator a bit too hard, ending up with a ticket. According to general traffic regulations, speeding penalties are calculated by percentage: within 10% over usually results in a warning or small fine, 10% to 20% over typically means around 200 yuan fine and 3 demerit points, 20% to 50% over attracts harsher penalties, possibly 200 to 2000 yuan fine and 6 demerit points, while exceeding 50% is serious trouble with fines up to thousands and license suspension. Average speed checks calculate your speed over the entire zone between start and end cameras, unlike spot checks that only capture your instantaneous speed. My advice is to watch for navigation alerts and slow down in advance on such stretches, maintaining steady speed without sudden changes - it's worry-free, cost-saving and safer. Speeding might feel great in the moment, but getting that ticket really hurts the wallet and damages your safety record.
When I first got my driver's license, I encountered a section speed control zone on the provincial highway and accidentally exceeded the speed limit a bit. I later checked and learned about the penalty tiers. A warning with no points deducted for speeding less than 10%, a fine of around 200 yuan and 3 points deducted for speeding 10%-20%, a fine of 500 to 2000 yuan and 6 points deducted for speeding 20%-50%, and severe penalties including possible 12-point deduction or license suspension for exceeding 50% or more. These standards are basically uniform. Section speed control calculates the average speed between two points to prevent drivers from cheating by slowing down midway. I often hear experienced drivers recommend using cruise control to maintain a steady speed and relying on road signs or map apps for warnings. Driving too fast not only results in fines but also makes it difficult to pass the review if points accumulate. It's better to develop good habits.
