What is 10% over 120 mph?
2 Answers
120 mph with a 10% overspeed equals 132 mph. If a motor vehicle violates speed limit regulations without causing consequences, under the following circumstances, the public security traffic management department will issue a warning: Exceeding the speed limit by less than 50%: On roads with a speed limit below 60 km/h, exceeding the speed limit by less than 50%; Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10%: Driving medium-sized or larger passenger trucks, school buses, or hazardous chemical transport vehicles on roads other than highways or urban expressways, exceeding the speed limit by less than 10%. Driving vehicles other than medium-sized or larger passenger trucks, school buses, or hazardous chemical transport vehicles and exceeding the speed limit by less than 10%.
To be honest, I've been studying traffic safety for a long time, and exceeding the speed limit by 10% is a common issue. Going 10% over 120 km/h means 132 km/h, but this isn't just a math problem—it's a major safety mistake. Higher speeds reduce reaction time, and the jump from 120 to 132 significantly increases risks, especially on highways or in rain/snow conditions. From the data I've analyzed, speeding by 10% raises accident rates by about 20%. My police friends always emphasize that speed limits balance efficiency and danger—exceed them, and you risk penalties: 3 demerit points plus hundreds in fines. Personally, I recommend installing a GPS speed limiter alert that auto-warns you; develop the habit of maintaining steady speeds and avoid unnecessary acceleration. Life is precious—calculating 132 is easy, but forming a speeding habit brings endless consequences.
