Is driving at 120 km/h on the highway considered speeding?
1 Answers
No, driving at 140 km/h on a highway with a speed limit of 120 km/h is considered a 17% overspeed. According to national regulations, overspeeding by less than 10% is not penalized, while overspeeding by less than 20% results in a 3-point deduction and a fine. Speeding refers to driving a vehicle at a speed exceeding the legal or regulatory limits. Precautions for high-speed driving are as follows: 1. Driving on the emergency lane: During traffic jams, some drivers tend to use the emergency lane, ultimately causing congestion there as well. Normally, entering the emergency lane is prohibited and can result in fines and point deductions. 2. Cutting in line: Almost all drivers have experienced being cut off by others, and such behavior is generally frowned upon. It is recommended to report such incidents to online traffic violation reporting platforms; successful reports may even come with rewards. 3. Reversing or making U-turns: Many drivers on highways have missed their exits. The correct action in such cases is to continue driving forward rather than reversing. Reversing on highways is extremely dangerous and can lead to the revocation of the driver's license. 4. Not switching headlights: While driving on highways at night, high beams can be used, but they should be switched to low beams when the distance to the vehicle ahead is less than 150 meters.
