Will I get points deducted for driving at 67 in a 60 speed limit zone?

Driving at 67 in a 60 speed limit zone will not result in points deduction. Here is the relevant information: 1. Regulations: The new traffic regulations clearly state that on roads with a speed limit below 60km/h, exceeding the limit by no more than 50% will not be penalized. This means that on a road with a 50km/h speed limit, if a vehicle reaches 60km/h, it is not considered a violation as the speed is only 20% over the limit. However, if the speed exceeds 75%, it falls within the violation range. 2. Maintaining a safe speed: Motor vehicles on the road must not exceed the maximum speed indicated by speed limit signs. On roads without speed limit signs, drivers should maintain a safe speed.
I've checked the traffic regulations online several times. Driving at 67 km/h in a 60 km/h zone can indeed result in penalty points, as it's 11.7% over the speed limit. According to China's traffic rules, exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20% typically results in 3 penalty points and a 200 RMB fine. Don't think it's just a slight overspeed—many cities use radar speed detection devices with minimal error margins, and they rarely show leniency. Over my years of driving, I've seen quite a few friends get caught by this, accumulating points quickly and even affecting insurance premiums. To truly avoid this, it's better to develop the habit of using navigation apps to monitor your speed or regularly check if your car's speedometer is calibrated. Safety first—don't rush and regret it later. Additionally, after a violation, you can check the record on the Traffic Management 12123 app and handle it early to minimize the impact.
