Can I drive at 100 km/h when the speed limit is 80 km/h on a rainy highway?

Of course not, exceeding the speed limit by 10% will result in a traffic violation photo. Here is relevant information about highways: 1. Regulations: According to the rules, vehicles driving on highways must not go below 60 km/h or exceed 120 km/h. There is no uniform speed limit division for lanes on highways, and different sections may have different limits. Drivers can follow navigation prompts or highway signage for guidance. 2. Notes: On most highways, the speed limit for the first lane is between 110 km/h and 120 km/h, the second lane between 90 km/h and 110 km/h, and the third lane between 60 km/h and 90 km/h. Vehicles must adhere to these specified limits.
As an experienced auto repair technician who has handled numerous accidents, I've seen too many crashes caused by speeding in the rain. When the speed limit on highways is 80 km/h during rainy conditions, driving at 100 km/h is absolutely unacceptable. Exceeding the speed limit by 20% constitutes illegal driving, and getting caught will result in 6 penalty points and a 200 yuan fine. But that's not even the worst part – wet roads reduce tire traction by 40%. It takes 60 meters to stop from 80 km/h, but 95 meters from 100 km/h. That 35-meter difference is enough to collide with an obstacle. Just last week, our shop towed in a Volvo that skidded and hit the guardrail due to speeding in the rain – the airbags deployed.
