What Does a Speed Limit of 40 Mean?
1 Answers
Speed limit 40 means: the speed cannot exceed 40 kilometers per hour. The following is an introduction to the hazards of speeding: 1. Increased reaction distance: As the speed increases, the braking performance of the vehicle decreases, the friction coefficient drops, and the braking distance extends, making it impossible to stop the vehicle in time when needed. In addition, increased speed leads to greater vehicle vibration and bumpiness, affecting safe driving. 2. Increased vehicle wear: High-speed operation increases the working intensity and load on the vehicle, accelerating the wear and damage of components. This is particularly detrimental to the wheels, raising the friction temperature and making tires extremely prone to aging and deformation, which can lead to blowout accidents.
