My experience of being fined for driving at 130 km/h on the highway is still vivid in my memory. That time on the highway, where the speed limit was 120 km/h, I drove at 130 km/h, exceeding the limit by 10 km/h, and was caught by a speed camera. The penalty was 3 demerit points plus a 200 yuan fine, as per traffic regulations, which stipulate this punishment for speeding between 10% and 20% over the limit. There are numerous cameras on the highway, and it's easy to get caught if you're not careful. I learned my lesson and now keep a close eye on the speedometer or set the cruise control to 119 km/h to avoid speeding. Speeding not only results in fines and demerit points but also increases the risk of accidents—the braking distance at 130 km/h is significantly longer than at 120 km/h. I advise friends to regularly check their tires and brake systems for maintenance—safety first.
