A car speeding between 10% and 20% over the limit. Roads with speed limits below 50 km/h: For cars on roads with speed limits below 50 km/h, exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20% will result in a fine and 3 penalty points. Roads with speed limits between 50 km/h and 80 km/h: For cars on roads with speed limits between 50 km/h and 80 km/h, exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20% will result in a fine and 3 penalty points. Roads with speed limits between 80 km/h and 100 km/h: For cars on roads with speed limits between 80 km/h and 100 km/h, exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20% will result in a fine and 3 penalty points.
I've been driving for over ten years as an experienced driver. I remember once on the highway, I accidentally pressed the accelerator a bit too hard and exceeded the speed limit by less than 20%. Later, I checked and according to current traffic regulations, speeding between 10% to 20% results in a 3-point deduction and a 200 yuan fine for passenger cars. This rule was adjusted a few years ago - previously, exceeding 10% would cost 3 points, but now the standard is stricter. Everyone must pay attention to speed limit signs. Additionally, speeding not only leads to point deductions but may also increase insurance premiums. I think installing a navigation system with speed alerts is great - if you get distracted on long drives, the system can warn you to slow down. In short, safety comes first; it's not worth rushing for that little bit of time.
As a new driver who just got my license, my friend reminded me to control my speed on the highway. The current regulations are clear: if you exceed the speed limit by less than 20%, specifically in the range of 10% to 20%, you will definitely be penalized with 3 demerit points and a 200 yuan fine. This is slightly more lenient than before, but the impact is still significant. I remember one time my speedometer was inaccurate and I didn't notice, resulting in exceeding the limit by 15%, and I was almost caught by a speed camera. I recommend buying an accurate dashcam to monitor real-time speed and avoid misjudgment by cameras. Over time, accumulating too many demerit points can affect your license review, so it's better to develop the habit of checking your speed regularly.
