When driving on the highway, it is not uncommon to run against the speed limit. So, is this practice safe? This article will do just that**.
First of all, we need to understand the regulations on speed limits and speeding. According to the provisions of China's road traffic safety law, the maximum speed limit on expressways is 120 kilometers per hour. This means that vehicles driving on highways must not exceed this value. However, in the actual law enforcement process, the determination of speeding is not one-size-fits-all. Generally, there are no points deducted for speeding by less than 20%, but fines are inevitable. And if the speeding is less than 10%, it is usually just a warning to deal with. Therefore, it is safer to keep the speed below 132 km/h on the 120 kmh section of the road.
However, it is important to note here that there is a difference between the apparent speed and the actual speed. Many car owners may think that their speedometer is accurate, but in reality there may be errors in the speedometer. According to the calculation formula stipulated in the national standard, there is a certain relationship between the apparent speed and the actual speed. So, even if your speedometer shows 120 km/h, the actual speed may be between 104 and 120 km/h. This means that if you drive strictly on the speedometer, there is no actual speeding.
In addition to the issue of speed limits and vehicle speeds, there are other factors that need to be considered for driving safety. For example, when there is a congregation of vehicles on the highway, traffic accidents are likely to occur due to the mutual interference between vehicles and the reduction of safe space. To be on the safe side, some motorists will choose to overtake to get out of the big group. However, there are certain risks associated with this behavior. Other speed measurement methods, such as interval speed measurement and fixed speed measurement, are common. Interval speed measurement measures the average speed of a vehicle on a stretch of road, while a fixed speed measurement device may be lurking in a green belt in the middle of the road. Therefore, drivers should not take chances and think that they can speed at will.
For novices, special care is required when getting on the highway. It is advisable to drive in the middle lane so that there is more time and space to deal with unexpected situations. At the same time, maintaining a distance between vehicles, paying attention to road conditions, and avoiding fatigue driving are all very important safety measures. On the highway, safe driving is paramount. Don't speed, keep your distance, pay attention to road conditions, and avoid fatigue driving are all very important safety measures.
It's not always safe to drive at high speeds against the speed limit. Although the legal speed limit is not exceeded in terms of speed, other factors such as speedometer errors, road conditions and driving safety need to be considered in actual driving.
