What are the penalties for speeding between 70% and 100% over the limit?
1 Answers
Driving a motor vehicle at a speed exceeding 70% of the prescribed limit will result in 12 demerit points and a fine ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan. Here are the impacts of speeding: 1. Speeding accelerates the wear and tear of vehicle components. The faster the speed, the more it disrupts the vehicle's operational indices in specific environments, increasing the vehicle's workload and stress, thereby accelerating the wear and tear of components. 2. Speeding extends the non-safe braking period. A vehicle's braking distance is primarily determined by its speed. Due to inertia, the faster the speed, the longer the braking distance, and the longer the non-safe braking period. 3. Speeding reduces the driver's reaction time. Speeding increases the frequency of overtaking. Each overtaking maneuver requires higher speeds for fast passing, while the overtaken vehicle must slow down to yield, thereby increasing the number of weaving and conflict points on the road. During this process, the driver's reaction time is significantly reduced, increasing the likelihood of accidents.
