Will I Get Points Deducted and Fined for Speeding Between 10% and 20% Over the Limit?
2 Answers
Speeding between 10% and 20% over the limit will result in a 3-point deduction. The hazards of speeding in a car are as follows: Damage to the Vehicle's Safety Performance: Excessive speed can compromise the vehicle's performance under specific conditions, increasing its operational stress and load capacity. It also causes significant wear and tear on internal components, particularly the tires. Speeding raises the temperature from friction between the tires and the road, leading to accelerated aging or deformation of the tires, which can result in blowouts during driving. Speeding Increases the Risk of Traffic Accidents: When driving at high speeds, the driver may not accurately judge the speed of their own vehicle or the slower speeds of pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles outside. This situation significantly raises the likelihood of traffic accidents.
Regarding the issue of speeding by 10% to 20%, as someone who has driven for many years, I’d like to share my perspective. Generally, in most regions, if you exceed the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20%, you will indeed receive penalty points and a fine. For example, it typically results in 3 penalty points and a fine of around 200 yuan. Once, I accidentally went slightly over the limit on the highway and ended up being fined, which felt quite unfair. In reality, speeding within this range carries significant risks, as it can easily lead to accidents due to rapid speed changes and shorter reaction times. I recommend using navigation apps with speed alerts or installing speed limit assist features to avoid being caught. Additionally, rules may vary by city, and sometimes speed cameras are placed in less obvious locations, making it easier to get fined, so knowing the route well is important. Cultivate the habit of driving steadily—don’t risk saving just a few minutes.
