Will I get points deducted for driving at 50 in a 30 speed limit zone?

Driving at 50 in a 30 speed limit zone will not result in points deduction. According to the guidelines on traffic violations, driving a motor vehicle in violation of speed limits without causing any consequences will result in a warning from the traffic management department of the public security authorities: 1. Exceeding the speed limit by less than 50% on roads with a speed limit below 60 kilometers per hour; 2. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous chemical transport vehicles at speeds exceeding the limit by less than 10% on roads other than highways or urban expressways; 3. Driving vehicles other than medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous chemical transport vehicles at speeds exceeding the limit by less than 10%; 4. Driving a motor vehicle on a highway at a speed less than 20% below the prescribed speed limit.
Sigh, I've been driving for over ten years. That time in a city alley with a speed limit of 30, I was in a hurry and drove at 50. Within a few days, I received a ticket—speeding 66%, 12 points deducted, fined 2000 yuan, plus having to take time out for traffic safety classes, and my insurance premium went up too. Honestly, in such cases, points are always deducted because speeding over 50% usually means losing 12 points. Fines vary by location, and some places might penalize even more. Speeding isn’t a small matter, especially on small roads with many pedestrians—it’s easy to cause accidents resulting in injuries or deaths. Now, I’ve made it a habit to check speed limit signs and use cruise control—it’s worry-free and safer. Driving isn’t about speed; it’s about who gets home safely. Friends, remember the lesson—don’t rush for those few minutes, don’t be as impulsive as I used to be.
