Driving at 105 km/h on a highway with a 100 km/h speed limit is considered speeding. Here are some relevant details about highway speeding: Speeding: Driving at 105 km/h in a 100 km/h zone means you are exceeding the speed limit by 5%. According to traffic regulations, this will not result in any penalties, as the rules clearly state that exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% only warrants a warning. Therefore, exceeding by 5% will result in a warning but no points deduction or fine. Speedometer Measurement: Regarding speed measurement, the speedometer is required by regulation to display a speed not less than the actual speed. As a result, car manufacturers adjust the displayed speed to be slightly higher, typically by 3 to 14 km/h. Whether 105 km/h is considered speeding depends on the specific vehicle. It is best to rely on the speedometer—if it does not exceed the posted speed limit, the actual speed will also not exceed it. Additionally, the speed displayed by radar detectors ("electronic dogs") or the vehicle's built-in navigation system may differ, but they generally follow the same principle as the speedometer.
