Is the first speeding offense just a warning?

[ReedLynn]

First-time speeding offenses are subject to the same penalties. Below is relevant information about illegal speeding: 1. Introduction: Illegal speeding refers to driving at speeds exceeding legally set limits or those indicated by speed limit signs from a safe driving perspective. Failing to reduce speed when required by law also constitutes illegal speeding. 2. Hazards: (1) Inability to brake promptly at high speeds: Speeding increases vehicle inertia, making it difficult to brake in emergencies and prone to accidents, such as chain collisions on highways caused by excessive speed and insufficient safe distances. (2) High fatigue and increased likelihood of malfunctions: Prolonged high-speed operation places the engine and transmission components under continuous fatigue, heightening the risk of failure. Speeding disrupts the vehicle's performance indices under specific conditions, increasing operational intensity and load, and accelerating wear and damage to parts. It is particularly detrimental to tires, as higher speeds raise friction temperatures, leading to rapid aging and deformation, which can cause blowouts. (3) Increased risk of rollovers and collisions, exacerbating accident severity: Experiments show that doubling the speed quadruples the centrifugal force during turns and doubles the impact force. Speeding not only raises the likelihood of rollovers and rear-end collisions but also intensifies the severity of accident damages.
