How much over the speed limit is driving 80 mph in a 70 mph zone?
1 Answers
Speeding 10%—20%. Below are the specific details about road speed limits: 1. Penalty regulations: Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% results in a warning without fines or penalty points. Exceeding by 10%—20% incurs a fine and 3 penalty points. Exceeding by 20%—50% incurs a fine and 6 penalty points. Exceeding by more than 50% results in a fine and 12 penalty points. 2. Speed limit percentage calculation formula: (Speed / Limit speed — 1) * 100 gives the speeding percentage. For example, if the speed limit is 70 km/h and the vehicle speed is 80 km/h, divide 80 by 70, subtract 1, and multiply by 100 to get 14.28, meaning 14% over the speed limit. If the speed limit is 60 km/h and the vehicle speed is 70 km/h, divide 70 by 60, subtract 1, and multiply by 100, resulting in 16% over the speed limit.
