Is driving at 65 km/h on a national road with a speed limit of 60 km/h considered speeding?
1 Answers
Driving at 65 km/h in a 60 km/h speed limit zone exceeds the speed limit by less than 10%, which results in a warning without penalty points. On a road with a 60 km/h speed limit, the speed should not exceed 66 km/h. Penalties for speeding: On roads with speed limits between 50 km/h and 80 km/h, exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% results in a warning. Exceeding the speed limit by 10% to less than 20% incurs a corresponding fine. Exceeding by 20% to less than 50% incurs a corresponding fine. Exceeding by 50% to less than 70% incurs a corresponding fine. Exceeding by 70% or more incurs a corresponding fine. Hazards of speeding: When speeding, vehicles are often in a state of accelerating to follow or overtake other vehicles. Due to the close following distance, the driver's view is obstructed, leading to unclear observation and inaccurate judgment of the road ahead, increasing the risk of accidents. Additionally, speeding significantly reduces the driver's vision, with higher speeds causing more severe vision impairment, making accidents more likely.
