What are the Three Over-Limit Vehicles?
1 Answers
Three over-limits refer to speeding, overloading with passengers, and overloading with cargo. Speeding means the driver exceeds the speed limit set by laws and regulations during driving. Overloading with passengers refers to the actual number of passengers in a vehicle exceeding the rated capacity during road transportation. Overloading with cargo includes exceeding the regulated limits in terms of the length, width, height, or mass of the cargo carried by a freight vehicle; overloading means the actual load exceeds the maximum permissible limit. Hazards of speeding: Speeding can easily lead to decreased reaction ability and extended reaction distance for the driver. Prolonged high-speed driving causes severe wear on car tires and other components, increasing the risk of accidents. Hazards of overloading with passengers: Overloading not only affects the vehicle's lifespan but also seriously endangers driving safety. Overloading increases the vehicle's weight, puts extra strain on tires, extends braking distance, and impairs steering and braking performance. Severe overloading can even cause tire blowouts due to excessive load and deformation. Additionally, in the event of an accident, overloading can worsen the damage. Hazards of overloading with cargo: Overloading increases the cargo mass, leading to greater inertia, longer braking distance, and higher risks. Severe overloading can cause excessive tire load and deformation, leading to blowouts, sudden swerving, brake failure, or rollovers. Moreover, overloading affects the vehicle's steering performance, increasing the likelihood of accidents due to loss of steering control.
