At a high speed with a speed limit of 120, is driving to 130 considered speeding? Are you also mistaken? In our daily life, the highway is one of the commonly used roads when traveling. However, in the process of driving, many people are not very clear about the rules of speeding, especially on the road with a speed limit of 120 kilometers per hour, whether driving to 130 kilometers per hour is considered speeding? Next, let's take a look at it together.
Let's be clear: according to the provisions of China's Road Traffic Safety Law, driving a motor vehicle on the road must not exceed the maximum speed indicated by the speed limit sign. That is, if you are driving on a highway with a speed limit of 120 km/h, then you cannot exceed 120 km/h.
The reality is often more complex. Speed limits may vary depending on the region and road section. For example, some places may set lower speed limits, such as 80 kmh or 100 kmh; Some special sections, such as tunnels, curves, etc., may require a reduction in speed to 60 km/h or even lower.
There are also some special circumstances to be aware of. For example, if the road is slippery or visibility is low, you should reduce your speed appropriately to ensure safety, even on a section of the road with a speed limit of 120 km/h.
So, what are the consequences if we do exceed the speed limit?
1.Penalty.
According to the provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law, if the driving of a motor vehicle exceeds the speed limit by less than 20%, a fine of 200 yuan shall be imposed; If the speed exceeds the limit by more than 20% but does not reach 50%, a fine of 200 yuan shall be imposed and 3 points shall be deducted; If the speed exceeds the limit by 50% or more, a fine of not less than 200 yuan but not more than 2,000 yuan shall be imposed, and 6 points shall be deducted.
Therefore, if you drive on a highway with a speed limit of 120 km/h and the speed reaches 130 km/h, then you are speeding by less than 20% and will face a fine of 200 yuan.
2.Risk of crashes.
In addition to fines, speeding can also lead to crashes. Because as the speed increases, so does the braking distance of the vehicle, which means that in the event of an emergency, it will take longer and longer distance to stop. Therefore, in order to protect the lives of ourselves and others, we should strictly follow the traffic rules and avoid speeding.
To sum up, no matter which road section we are in, we should strictly follow the speed limit and not drive over the speed limit. Only in this way can we ensure our own driving safety and at the same time create a safe traffic environment for other road users.
As for the future, with the development of science and technology and the progress of society, we believe that more new policies and measures will be introduced. So, are you ready? Let's look forward to it together!
