How Much Speeding at an Intersection Results in Full Liability?
2 Answers
In the event of a traffic accident, the proportion of liability each party needs to bear is not determined by the amount of speeding but rather by the role each party played in causing the accident and the severity of their fault. The new traffic regulations do not impose any speed restrictions specifically for passing through intersections. Generally, urban intersections have corresponding speed limit signs. If there are none, passing through the intersection at the highest speed limit for that road section is usually not considered speeding. Introduction to Speeding: Speeding refers to a driver operating a vehicle at a speed that exceeds the legal or regulatory speed limit. Turbine overspeed accidents are major catastrophic incidents caused by faults in the turbine's speed regulation and protection systems, as well as inherent defects. Prone to Rollover: Speeding deteriorates vehicle handling stability, especially when driving around curves, where centrifugal force can easily cause the vehicle to skid or tilt outward from the turning center.
Speeding at an intersection doesn't necessarily mean full liability - it depends on how much you exceeded the limit and the accident circumstances. Under China's traffic regulations, liability at intersections is determined based on who violated rules first. For example, with a standard 50 km/h speed limit, exceeding by less than 10% might only make you partially liable, but going 50% over could mean full liability since that's clearly the main cause. Excessive speeding reduces braking capability and reaction time, making intersections particularly dangerous. I've seen many drivers bear primary responsibility for just 20% over the limit, resulting in points deduction, fines, and heavy compensation. That's why it's crucial to obey speed limits, especially slowing down at intersections to observe traffic signals - don't rush into trouble. Installing a dashcam for protection is wise. Remember, safety always outweighs speed.
