Will driving at 130 km/h on the highway result in a fine?
1 Answers
Possibly not. Driving at 130 km/h on the highway is considered a speeding violation when captured by cameras, but it may not result in penalty points or a fine. For example, driving at 130 km/h on a highway with a speed limit of 120 km/h constitutes an 8% overspeed, which is below the 10% threshold. According to relevant regulations, exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% does not incur penalty points or fines, but rather results in a warning. Below are the relevant details: 1. Penalty points for speeding on highways: The number of penalty points depends on the extent to which the vehicle's speed exceeds the limit. Any speed exceeding 10% of the limit will incur penalty points, with different ranges resulting in different point deductions. 2. Liability for accidents caused by speeding: If an accident is caused by speeding and the other party has no driving faults, the speeding driver will bear full liability. If both parties have committed violations, neither will be deemed fully liable. Liability will be determined based on the impact of each party's violations on the accident and the severity of their faults, assigning primary liability, equal liability, or secondary liability accordingly. The specific liability division is determined by the traffic police department. If dissatisfied with the division, one may apply for a review or directly file a lawsuit in court.
