Speeding by 20% will generally result in points being deducted. According to the guidelines for speeding penalties, if a motor vehicle exceeds the speed limit on the road, the following latest speeding fine and point deduction standards apply: 1. On roads with a speed limit below 50 km/h, exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20% will result in a fine of 50 yuan; exceeding by more than 20% but less than 50% will result in a fine of 100 yuan; exceeding by more than 50% but less than 70% will result in a fine of 300 yuan; exceeding by 70% or more will result in a fine of 500 yuan. 2. On roads with a speed limit between 50 km/h and 80 km/h, exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20% will result in a fine of 100 yuan; exceeding by more than 20% but less than 50% will result in a fine of 150 yuan; exceeding by more than 50% but less than 70% will result in a fine of 500 yuan; exceeding by 70% or more will result in a fine of 1000 yuan. 3. On roads with a speed limit between 80 km/h and 100 km/h, exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20% will result in a fine of 150 yuan; exceeding by more than 20% but less than 50% will result in a fine of 200 yuan; exceeding by more than 50% but less than 70% will result in a fine of 1000 yuan; exceeding by 70% or more will result in a fine of 1500 yuan. 4. On roads with a speed limit above 100 km/h, exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 50% will result in a fine of 200 yuan; exceeding by more than 50% but less than 70% will result in a fine of 1500 yuan; exceeding by 70% or more will result in a fine of 2000 yuan.
As someone who enjoys studying traffic regulations, I believe that exceeding the speed limit by 20% will indeed result in penalty points, which is crucial because according to general driving rules, speeding between 10% and 20% typically incurs 3 points, while exceeding by 20% or more leads to 6 points or higher, depending on the road type. For example, on urban roads with a 60 km/h limit, driving at 72 km/h constitutes a 20% violation, which will definitely be captured by cameras and penalized. Additionally, many overlook the issue of speedometer inaccuracy—it's wise to occasionally check your vehicle's speed sensor to avoid misjudgment. I always advise friends to use cruise control on highways; it has helped me avoid many tickets. Speeding penalties don't just affect your license points but may also require retesting or even lead to suspension, so developing a habit of adhering to speed limits is key—don't risk it just to save time.
