What is the speed for exceeding the limit by 20%?

[Willie]

This depends on the speed limit of the road. Speed limits vary for different urban roads. For example, on a road with a speed limit of 50 km/h, driving at 60 km/h or above would exceed the limit by 20%. On a highway with a speed limit of 120 km/h, exceeding the limit by 20% would mean driving at 140 km/h or above. Penalties and point deductions for speeding: If a vehicle exceeds the speed limit by less than 10%, no penalty is imposed. If a vehicle exceeds the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20%, a fine is imposed, and 3 points are deducted. If a vehicle exceeds the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 30%, a fine is imposed, and 6 points are deducted. If a vehicle exceeds the speed limit by more than 30% but less than 50%, a fine is imposed, and 6 points are deducted. If a vehicle exceeds the speed limit by more than 50% but less than 70%, a fine is imposed, and 12 points are deducted, with the possibility of the driver's license being revoked. If a vehicle exceeds the speed limit by 70% or more, a fine is imposed, and 12 points are deducted, with the possibility of the driver's license being revoked.

I understand that when you ask "how much is 20% over the speed limit in mph," the term "mph" might refer to the speed unit kilometers per hour or something similar. The calculation for exceeding the speed limit by 20% is based on the baseline speed limit: the specific value equals the speed limit multiplied by 1.2. However, since you didn’t provide the speed limit value, I can only give examples: on a road with a 60 km/h speed limit, exceeding by 20% would mean driving at 72 km/h; on an 80 km/h road, it would be 96 km/h; and on a 120 km/h road, it would be 144 km/h. The unit of speed is crucial—China commonly uses the metric system, measuring speed in kilometers per hour (km/h), rather than the colloquial term "mph," which can cause confusion. Exceeding the speed limit by 20% not only increases braking distance risks but can also make the vehicle unstable at high speeds. I recommend using navigation tools to confirm the current speed limit while driving and strictly adhering to it—safety comes first. Speed limits vary by road: in urban areas, exceeding a 50 km/h limit to 60 km/h may seem minor but poses significant hazards.

Speeding by 20% might sound trivial, but it's actually quite dangerous! From my driving experience: on a road with an 80 km/h speed limit, pushing it to 96 km/h (20% over) makes the car feel floaty, especially in rain or during turns when control is easily lost. You asked "how much is that in mph"—I assume you want the exact speed value, but it depends on the road's limit to calculate precisely. A common scenario: if the highway limit is 100 km/h, hitting 120 km/h (20% over) is considered high-risk driving. Crash statistics show a 20% speed increase dramatically raises collision severity, hence police often impose heavy penalties. I recommend installing a speed alert app to monitor in real-time and avoid violations. Remember, every bit of extra speed chips away at safety margins—staying alive is far more important than saving time.

From a legal perspective, exceeding the speed limit by 20% constitutes a traffic violation that triggers penalties. In China, speeding over 20% typically results in fines ranging from 200 to 500 RMB and 3 demerit points, with more severe penalties for higher violations. Your question "how many mph/kmh" likely refers to the numerical speed value, but the baseline speed limit must be clarified: exceeding 50 km/h by 20% equals 60 km/h; exceeding 80 km/h by 20% means reaching 96 km/h. Traffic regulations vary slightly by region, with speeding 20% classified as a moderate offense, while highway speeding carries heavier fines. Driving 20% over the limit may also impact insurance premiums or be recorded in driving records. I always advise friends to verify posted speed limits on specific road sections to avoid minor gains leading to major losses. Safe driving not only saves money and hassle but also reduces societal accident rates.
