How much is the speeding when driving at 90 in an 80 speed limit zone?
1 Answers
Driving at 90 in an 80 speed limit zone constitutes a 12.5% speeding violation. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20% results in 3 penalty points. Hazards of speeding: Higher speeds mean greater kinetic energy of the vehicle, leading to reduced driver control and increased risks. Speeding accelerates wear and damage to vehicle components. Excessive speed disrupts the vehicle's operational parameters in specific environments, increasing workload and stress on parts, thereby accelerating wear and damage. Particularly detrimental effects on tires include jumping, dragging wear, or high friction temperatures, all of which can cause tire aging and deformation, significantly increasing the risk of blowouts. Penalty standards for speeding: Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10%: no penalty for now; exceeding by more than 10% but less than 20%: 3 penalty points; exceeding by more than 20% but less than 30%: 6 penalty points; exceeding by more than 30% but less than 50%: 6 penalty points; exceeding by more than 50% but less than 70%: 12 penalty points, with possible license suspension; exceeding by 70% or more: 12 penalty points, with possible license suspension.
