How much over the speed limit is acceptable?
1 Answers
Exceeding the speed limit by 10% is generally acceptable. Below are the hazards of speeding: 1. Vehicle steering becomes unstable: Speeding increases the airspeed difference between the top and bottom of the vehicle body. This differential creates an upward lift force, reducing the vehicle's stability during driving, which is one of the main reasons for unstable steering. 2. Driving habits intensify: The faster the speed, the stronger the vehicle's inertia to maintain straight-line movement, leading to poorer directional control and significantly increased risk. If an emergency occurs ahead, it becomes very difficult to control the vehicle within a short time, potentially resulting in unimaginable consequences.
