Will I Get Points Deducted for Speeding Less Than 10%?
2 Answers
Speeding less than 10% does not result in points deduction, but a warning is issued. Here is the relevant information: 1. Introduction: Speeding refers to a driver operating a vehicle at a speed exceeding the legal or regulatory limits. Turbine overspeed accidents are major catastrophic incidents caused by faults in the turbine's speed regulation and protection systems, as well as inherent defects. 2. Regulations: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law": If a vehicle's speed exceeds the limit by less than 10%, the driver will be given a warning. If the speed exceeds the limit by more than 10% but less than 20%, a fine will be imposed, and 3 points will be deducted from the driver's license. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50% results in a fine and 6 points deducted from the license. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 50% leads to 12 points deducted from the license and a traffic violation fine.
I've been driving for 15 years and have extensive on-road experience. Regarding whether speeding less than 10% results in penalty points, in China, regulations clearly state that it typically doesn't incur points, effectively providing a small buffer. Once on a highway with a 120 km/h limit, I drove at 126 km/h and was caught by a speed camera, only receiving a warning letter and a 500 RMB fine notice without any penalty points. This might be because the new traffic laws handle minor violations more humanely. However, I must remind everyone: even if no points are deducted, don't take chances—any speeding increases accident risks. Data shows that speeding within 10% can still be a contributing factor to accidents, especially in rainy conditions or on curves. It's advisable to use mobile navigation or your vehicle's dashboard to monitor speed in real-time, maintaining a speed within 5 km/h below the limit as the ideal safety zone. Developing this habit can effectively reduce potential hazards from fatigue driving. Safety should always be the top priority!
