How much is the speed limit exceeded at 170 km/h on the highway?

[DeDelaney]

Driving at 170 km/h on the highway exceeds the speed limit by less than 50% of the maximum speed. Below is relevant information about highway speeding: 1. Section speed measurement: In addition to electronic cameras, highways also use section speed measurement. This method involves setting up two adjacent monitoring points on the same road section to calculate the vehicle's speed based on the time it takes to pass between the two points, thereby determining if the vehicle has violated speed limits. Some areas also use radar microwave speed detection. 2. Dangers of highway speeding: Speeding on highways significantly reduces the driver's attention, as it is primarily focused on the road and vehicles ahead, neglecting the surroundings and the vehicle's own condition. Speed and field of vision are inversely proportional—the faster the speed, the narrower the field of vision, leading to heightened driver tension and a high likelihood of traffic accidents.
