Driving at 45 in a 40 speed limit zone will be captured by speed cameras. Definition of speeding: Driving at 45 km/h in a 40 km/h speed limit zone falls within the range of exceeding the prescribed speed by more than 10% but less than 20%. According to the new traffic regulations, for violations where the speed exceeds the limit by less than 50% in a 40 km/h speed limit zone, traffic police will only issue a warning without imposing a fine or deducting points. Precautions for driving: When driving, it is necessary to observe the speed limit indicated by roadside signs, markings, and other indicators. Additionally, always monitor the speedometer on your vehicle's dashboard to avoid committing speeding violations.
I've been driving for many years, and when I accidentally go 45 in a 40 km/h zone, I always nervously check the rearview mirror to see if I'll be caught by a speed camera. My experience tells me that most speed enforcement systems allow a small margin of error, and national regulations typically don't penalize within 10% over the limit. So, driving at 44 in a 40 zone is safe, but 45 crosses the line. Once, I was fined 200 yuan and got 3 penalty points for driving at 46. Since then, I've strictly adhered to speed limits. Road designs account for safety, and speeding increases the risk of accidents, especially in school zones or crowded areas. I recommend installing a mobile navigation app that alerts you to speed limits—developing this habit ensures safety first and saves you from fines. Don't take risks; driving slower is always the right choice.
