Will driving at 67 in a 60 speed limit zone be caught by speed cameras?
2 Answers
Driving at 67 in a 60 speed limit zone is considered speeding and may be captured by speed cameras. Below is relevant information about speeding: 1. Introduction: Speeding refers to a driver operating a vehicle at a speed exceeding the legal or regulatory speed limit. Turbine overspeed accidents are major catastrophic incidents caused by failures in the speed regulation and protection systems or inherent defects in the turbine itself. 2. Regulations: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law: If a vehicle's speed exceeds the limit by less than 10%, the driver will receive a warning. Exceeding the speed limit by 10% to less than 20% results in a 50 yuan fine and 3 penalty points on the driver's license. Exceeding by 20% to less than 50% incurs a 100 yuan fine and 6 penalty points. Exceeding the speed limit by 50% or more leads to 12 penalty points and a fine ranging from 500 to 2000 yuan.
I remember doing something similar last year, going a few kilometers over the limit, and sure enough, I got caught by a speed camera and fined a few hundred yuan. Looking back now, it seems most speed cameras have a tolerance margin, usually around 10% above the posted limit, and won’t trigger immediately. For example, driving 67 in a 60 zone is about 11% over, which exceeds the 10% leniency threshold, making it quite likely to get flagged. The key is that these cameras work by radar or laser to detect speed—if you cross the threshold, they snap a photo. Many devices at intersections or on highways are highly sensitive, especially in urban areas. I’ve also heard some places use mobile speed enforcement vehicles, which are even more discreet. Bottom line: driving 67 in a 60 zone is way too likely to land you a ticket. If caught, you’ll not only face a fine but possibly points on your license. Better not to risk it—next time, use a navigation app to alert you about speed limits and make it a habit. It’s safer and saves money. Speeding in bad weather is even riskier—I’ve seen accidents caused by speeding in the rain leading to loss of control.
