What is the actual speed when the car dashboard displays 70 km/h?

When the dashboard shows 70 km/h, the actual speed is 66-68 km/h. The speed displayed on the dashboard is intentionally set higher than the actual speed. This is not a malfunction of the car but a deliberate setting to ensure driving safety. The difference is usually small, typically within 3%~5%. For ordinary vehicles, the penalties for speeding outside highways are as follows: No penalty for exceeding the speed limit by less than 10%; a fine of 50 yuan and 3 demerit points for exceeding the speed limit by 10% to less than 20%; a fine of 50 yuan and 6 demerit points for exceeding the speed limit by 20% to less than 30%; a fine of 200 yuan and 6 demerit points for exceeding the speed limit by 30% to less than 50%; a fine of 1000 yuan and 12 demerit points, with possible license revocation, for exceeding the speed limit by 50% to less than 70%; a fine of 2000 yuan and 12 demerit points, with possible license revocation, for exceeding the speed limit by 70%. On roads with speed limits below 60 km/h, a warning is issued for exceeding the speed limit by less than 50%. Special vehicles such as medium and above passenger and cargo vehicles, commercial vehicles, school buses, and hazardous material vehicles are subject to their specific regulations. Speeding penalties are differentiated between highways and ordinary roads. This setup is for safety considerations, and there is no need to worry about the impact. A difference of 1-3 km/h is not significant and can ensure driving safety in critical moments.
