Deduct six points and impose a fine penalty. Here are the relevant details: Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations: This is Attachment 4 document issued under Order No. 139 of the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China (Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses). Introduction to Point Deduction Substitution: Point deduction substitution refers to when a vehicle owner commits a traffic violation while driving, they pay money to purchase point deduction substitution services, allowing others to falsely claim that they borrowed the owner's vehicle when the violation occurred, thus having the substitute accept the driving license point deduction. In April 2021, the Ministry of Public Security drafted an open solicitation of opinions for the Road Traffic Safety Law. The proposed amendments explicitly stipulate penalties for point deduction substitution behaviors. Article 117 states that organizing others to substitute for the actual motor vehicle driver in accepting traffic violation penalties and point deductions for economic gain will result in confiscation of illegal earnings, detention for up to 15 days, and a fine ranging from one to five times the illegal earnings.
As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I'm telling you that driving at 95 km/h in an 80 km/h average speed control zone will definitely cause trouble. Exceeding the speed limit by 15 km/h means you're nearly 19% over - according to regulations, speeding less than 20% is considered a minor violation, typically resulting in a fine of around 200 yuan plus 3 penalty points on your license. Accumulating too many points might require attending traffic classes or retaking tests, which is a real hassle. What's worse, higher speeds significantly increase risks. Since average speed zones calculate your overall speed, exceeding the limit worsens vehicle control - especially in rain or snow when tires are more prone to skidding and accidents. I once witnessed a minor collision caused by this, where the longer braking distance almost caused a rear-end collision. Drive steadily - it's not worth rushing when safety and savings are at stake.
I'm a young car owner who just got my driver's license not long ago, and I occasionally speed on the highway. In an 80 km/h speed-limited zone, I once drove at 95 km/h—it felt thrilling, but the consequences were severe. A 200-yuan fine is minor, but accumulating 12 penalty points puts my license at risk, and I’d have to attend a safety education course—super annoying. At higher speeds, the car body shakes more, braking distance increases by several meters, and sudden situations become impossible to avoid. My friend once had a minor accident because of this, and the repair costs for the scratches were even higher than the fine. So now, every time I enter a speed-monitored zone, I keep a close eye on the speedometer and use my phone’s navigation alerts as reminders. Developing good habits puts safety first.
As a commuter who drives to work every day, I've experienced similar situations. If you drive at 95 km/h in an 80 km/h speed zone, the system will capture and fine you approximately 200 yuan with 3 penalty points. If the fine is not handled promptly, there will also be late fees. After dealing with tickets, I've summarized some advice: Go to the traffic police station or pay via the app as soon as possible to save money and time. Driving at high speeds not only costs more in fines but also wastes fuel. Speeding by 15 km/h significantly increases fuel consumption, which is not worth it. I recommend setting cruise control after starting the car to maintain a steady speed and avoid distractions. Safe driving not only protects yourself but also saves time and energy.
