Is it okay to drive at 140 km/h in a 20 km/h speed limit zone?
1 Answers
Exceeding the speed limit by 10% but less than 20% results in a deduction of 3 points. Driving at 140 km/h exceeds the limit by approximately 16%. The dangers of speeding include: 1. Reduced reaction ability: At high speeds, the driver's focus extends further ahead, narrowing the field of vision. Objects outside the vehicle pass by quickly, while it takes about 0.4 seconds for a person to sense a target within their vision and an average of 1 second to clearly recognize it. In dangerous situations, there isn't enough time to judge and take emergency measures. 2. Extended braking distance: As speed increases, the vehicle's braking performance decreases, the friction coefficient drops, and the braking distance lengthens, making it difficult to stop the vehicle promptly when needed. Additionally, higher speeds increase vehicle vibration and jolting, compromising safe driving.
