Speeding violations captured by cameras will result in penalty points. Details are as follows: 1. Speeding over 20% on highways: Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles at speeds exceeding 20% on highways will result in 12 penalty points. 2. Speeding over 50% on highways: Driving vehicles other than medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles at speeds exceeding 50% on highways will result in 12 penalty points (or license suspension). 3. Speeding under 20% on highways: Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles at speeds under 20% on highways will result in 6 penalty points. 4. Speeding between 20% and 50% on highways: Driving vehicles other than medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles at speeds between 20% and 50% on highways will result in 6 penalty points. 5. Speeding under 20% on highways: Driving vehicles other than medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles at speeds under 20% on highways will result in 3 penalty points.
I've been driving for over a decade and know all about speeding on highways. Getting caught by speed cameras is just the first step – whether you get fined depends on how much you exceeded the limit. Current regulations state that speeding within 10% usually results in no points or fines, just a warning text at most. Speeding between 10%-20% means 3 points and a 200 yuan fine, while 20%-50% gets you 6 points and steeper penalties. Speeding in severe weather doubles the point deductions! Local enforcement details may vary, so always check the speed limit signs at highway exits. By the way, drivers in their probationary period (just got license) will have to retake the written test if they exceed 20%. Recommendation: check the traffic management app 12123 before exiting the highway – notifications can sometimes be delayed.
