Is driving from 120 to 125 considered speeding when the speed limit is 120?

Driving on a road with a speed limit of 120km/h to 125km/h is considered speeding, exceeding the prescribed speed by 4 hours.

However, according to the current new traffic regulations, those who speed below 10 will not be fined or deducted points, but will be criticized and warned. They need to go to the traffic police department to sign an administrative warning decision and accept criticism and education from the traffic police. Generally speaking, exceeding the prescribed speed limit of 5 or less per hour without causing other consequences, and the traffic police department will not send warning notification text messages, is a relatively minor incident.

If the illegal act of speeding on a highway exceeds the prescribed speed by more than 10 times and is caught by the surveillance system, there will be corresponding penalties. There are different penalties in different scopes. The specific penalties are as follows:

1. Driving a school bus, a medium-sized or larger passenger-carrying truck, or a dangerous goods transport vehicle on highways or urban expressways exceeding the prescribed speed by more than 20%, or driving other motor vehicles on highways or urban expressways. Driving on an expressway exceeding the prescribed speed by more than 50% will result in 12 points being deducted.

2. Driving a school bus, a medium-sized or above passenger-carrying truck, or a dangerous goods transport vehicle on a highway or urban expressway exceeding the prescribed speed by less than 20% will be deducted 6 points.

3. Driving a motor vehicle other than a school bus, a medium-sized or above passenger-carrying truck, or a dangerous goods transport vehicle on a highway or urban expressway exceeding the prescribed speed by more than 20% but not reaching the speed limit of 20% or more. If it is fifty, 6 points will be deducted.

Speeding means that when the driver is driving, the speed of the car exceeds the speed stipulated by laws and regulations. Steam turbine overspeed accidents are major and malignant accidents caused by faults in the speed regulation and protection systems of the steam turbine and its own defects.

The main effects of speeding:

1. Speeding increases the wear and damage of machine parts. The faster the vehicle speed, destroys the index of the vehicle working in a specific environment, increases the working intensity and load of the vehicle, and aggravates the wear and damage of mechanical parts. It is especially detrimental to the wheels. Not only does it cause jumping and slippery wear, it also increases the friction temperature. The tires are easily aged and deformed, causing tire blowout accidents.

2. Speeding will extend the non-safe period of braking. The braking distance of a vehicle is mainly controlled by the vehicle speed. Due to the effect of inertia, the faster the vehicle speed, the greater the braking distance and the longer the non-safe braking period. According to tests, under the same conditions, when the speed is 40 kilometers per hour and 60 kilometers per hour respectively, if emergency braking measures are taken at a distance of 25 meters from the same object, the braking safety period is 21.6 meters for the former and 39.1 meters for the latter. In other words, the former is safe when it is 21.6 meters away from the object, and the latter is safe when it is 39.1 meters away from the object. The non-safe period of braking for speeding is extended, thereby increasing the possibility of accidents.

3. Speeding affects the operational stability of the vehicle. The operational stability of a speeding vehicle deteriorates, especially when driving on curves. Due to the effect of centrifugal force, the vehicle is prone to sideslip or tilt toward the outside of the rotation center. Tests have shown that under the same conditions, if the vehicle speed is doubled, the centrifugal force will increase three times. Excessive centrifugal force makes the vehicle extremely difficult to control and even lose control. At this time, if you drive on a road with a small road adhesion coefficient, you may slip, crash or hit a rock; if you drive on a road with a large road adhesion coefficient, you may cause an accident such as overturning.

4. Speeding reduces the driver’s reaction time. Because of speeding, the chances of overtaking will increase. Every time you overtake, you must increase your speed for a high-speed intersection; the person being overtaken must slow down and give way, which increases the number of intersections and conflicts on the road. In the process, the driver's reaction time is greatly reduced, thereby increasing the possibility of an accident.

5. Speeding affects the driver’s judgment. The faster the vehicle speeds, the farther the driver's gaze point is and the narrower the field of view, and the lower the judgment of speed. Not only cannot the speed of the vehicle being driven be accurately judged, but the speed of pedestrians, non-motor vehicles, and other motor vehicles will also be underestimated. At the same time, the ability to judge road conditions is weakened.

6. Speeding affects the driver’s vision.

When the vehicle is driving, the driver's field of vision, motor vision, and peripheral vision all change with the change of vehicle speed. Tests have shown that at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, the driver can observe objects within a range of 90 to 100 degrees (field of view); at a speed of 105 kilometers per hour, the driver can only observe objects within 40 degrees. When the speed is 40 kilometers per hour, the average driver can clearly see objects within 200 meters in front; when the speed is 100 kilometers per hour, he can only clearly see objects within 160 meters. Speeding narrows the driver's field of vision and weakens his eyesight, making it difficult to deal with sudden dangers ahead in a timely, accurate and appropriate manner, which can easily lead to traffic accidents.

Legal Basis

"Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China"

Article 42 When driving on the road, a motor vehicle shall not exceed the limit The maximum speed indicated by the speed sign. On roads without speed limit signs, a safe speed should be maintained.

Driving at night or on dangerous road sections, or when encountering weather conditions such as sand, hail, rain, snow, fog, or ice, you should reduce your driving speed.
