How many points will be deducted for driving at 70 km/h in a 60 km/h speed limit zone?

[OEmmett]

If the current highway speed limit is 60 km/h and the actual speed reaches 70 km/h, no points will be deducted. According to the new traffic regulations implemented on April 1, 2022, speeding within 20% of the prescribed speed limit does not result in point deductions. The calculation formula is: (70-60)/60×100%=10/60×100%≈16.7%, which means the speed exceeds the limit by 16.7%, so no points will be deducted. Point deduction standards after the implementation of the new traffic regulations on April 1, 2022: Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10%: warning, no fine or point deduction; Exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20%: a fine of 200 yuan, no point deduction; Exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50%: a fine of 200 yuan, 6 points deducted if on highways and urban expressways, 3 points deducted on ordinary roads; Exceeding the speed limit by more than 50%: 12 points deducted if on highways and urban expressways, 6 points deducted on ordinary roads. Hazards of speeding: Increased reaction distance: When a vehicle travels at 60 km/h, the average reaction time from recognizing danger to applying the brakes is about 0.7 to 1.0 seconds, with a reaction distance of approximately 17 meters (free travel distance). At 120 km/h, the reaction distance increases to about 39 meters (free travel distance), doubling the risk. Increased vehicle wear: High-speed operation intensifies the workload and stress on the vehicle, accelerating wear and damage to components. This is particularly detrimental to the tires, causing jumping and skidding wear, raising friction temperatures, and leading to rapid aging and deformation, increasing the risk of blowouts. Disruption of normal traffic flow: Speeding inevitably leads to frequent overtaking and meeting situations, increasing the driver's psychological stress and interfering with normal traffic flow. If the driver lacks quick reflexes, they may be unable to handle sudden dangers, losing control of the vehicle. Reduced reaction ability: At high speeds, the driver's focus shifts further ahead, narrowing the field of vision. Objects outside the window pass by quickly, and it takes about 0.4 seconds to sense a target and an average of 1 second to clearly identify it. In dangerous situations, there may not be enough time to judge and take emergency measures. Extended braking distance: As speed increases, the vehicle's braking performance decreases, friction coefficients drop, and braking distances lengthen, making it harder to stop in time. Additionally, higher speeds increase vehicle vibration and jolting, compromising safe driving. Worsened accident consequences: The kinetic energy of a moving object is proportional to its mass and the square of its speed. Experiments show that a vehicle hitting a concrete wall at 60 km/h is equivalent to falling from a height of 14 meters (5 stories). At 100 km/h, it is equivalent to falling from 39 meters (13 stories), with extremely severe consequences.
