How much over the speed limit is driving 78 in a 70 zone?
1 Answers
Driving 78 in a 70 zone constitutes a 10% over-speed violation, which results in a warning penalty. The following are the hazards of speeding: 1. Vehicle steering becomes unstable: Speeding increases the airflow speed difference between the top and bottom of the vehicle body. This differential causes the vehicle to generate upward lift, reducing 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 driving, leading to poorer steering control and significantly increased risk. In case of sudden incidents ahead, it becomes difficult to control the vehicle within a short time, potentially causing unimaginable consequences.
