Why Do Some People Drive at 160 km/h on the Highway?

Nowadays, cars are built better and better, and their performance is also improving. Here is the specific information: Too slow speed: It is because the speed is too slow and not exciting enough. Since this section of the highway is built in the plain area of Dongting Lake, the road condition is very good, and it is a newly built road. Additionally, there are not many cars, and the route is very straight. However, this section of the road is limited to 100 km/h, so many friends believe that the speed limit on this section is unreasonable and not exciting enough to drive. Therefore, many people take advantage of the rule that no substantial penalty is imposed for speeding within 10%, and there are quite a few people who speed on this highway. Precautions: It is because they usually drive a lot in the city, and now the traffic conditions in many areas of the city are congested. So when they finally get on the highway and there are not many cars, they take the opportunity to seek excitement and release, and thus accidentally speed. Moreover, if the car is equipped with a radar detector combined with navigation reminders, after a few trips, they find that speeding is not penalized. With this kind of luck-seeking mentality and the desire for excitement, they naturally drive at speeds of 150 to 160 km/h.
As a long-haul truck driver, I've seen too many people treating highways like race tracks. Some are simply in a hurry, rushing to catch flights or sign contracts; others are young drivers in performance cars looking for a thrill, with engine roars that get the adrenaline pumping; and some just aren't paying attention to the speedometer, drifting into high speeds without realizing it. But don't follow their example—at 160 km/h, braking distance more than doubles, and a blown tire or a sudden animal crossing could mean disaster. With 20 years behind the wheel, I've seen too many speeders end up in the guardrails. If you've got your family in the car, playing it safe is the best policy.
