Is it allowed to exceed the speed limit on highways?
1 Answers
Exceeding the speed limit on highways is not allowed. According to traffic laws, vehicles exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% will not be penalized; exceeding by 10% to less than 20% will result in a fine and 3 penalty points; exceeding by 20% to less than 30% will result in a fine and 6 penalty points, etc. Speed limits vary for different sections of the highway, with the maximum speed limit being 120 kilometers per hour. Additionally, drivers must adhere to the speed limit signs posted on the actual road. In adverse weather conditions such as snow, ice, rain, or fog, where the road surface is slippery and visibility is poor, drivers should reduce their speed, increase the following distance, avoid unnecessary lane changes, and drive with caution. If feeling slightly fatigued, they should immediately proceed to the nearest service area or exit the highway to rest. Night driving poses additional challenges due to poor visibility, requiring heightened concentration. In low-temperature or snowy conditions, drivers should reduce speed to guard against black ice, maintain a safe following distance of at least 100 meters from other vehicles, continuously monitor the road ahead, and make timely and correct judgments.
