Thanks to the increasingly complete infrastructure construction in China, the extensive highway provides convenience for many car owners to travel by car. Especially those car owners who work in other places, when they go home on holidays, they no longer need to squeeze a hard-to-find train with people, they only need to drive the car on the highway to reach the destination smoothly, and it is more convenient to travel to surrounding cities for business and business than before.
For car owners who need to run high speeds frequently, the speed limit of 120km/h is almost a common sense. But what makes some car owners feel a little curious is why sometimes they have driven to the maximum speed limit of 120, but they are still overtaken? In fact, according to the highway standard, as long as the owner's driving speed on the highway does not exceed 10% of the maximum speed limit, he will not be fined by the traffic control department.
Especially in recent days, the traffic management department has issued a new regulation, as long as the motor vehicle on the highway or urban expressway does not exceed the maximum speed limit of 20% will not be fined. Although this provision further unblocks the driving experience of car owners on the highway, some car owners do not understand why the traffic management department wants to make such a change, is it to ask the car owners to take off directly?
The reason for the increase in the penalty for speeding
First, the development of the automobile industry
With the continuous progress of science and technology, the car manufacturing capabilities of major car companies are also getting stronger and stronger, and the quality of various models produced by them is guaranteed. The development of automotive technology has also made the dynamic performance of all kinds of cars more and more excellent, and the maximum speed limit of 120 is not enough for many cars.
As far as the current models on the market are concerned, the maximum speed of many family cars can reach about 180km/h without causing too much burden to the engine, and even some large-displacement models can reach a speed of more than 200km per hour. Coupled with solid chassis tuning and brand tires, the car brings excellent stability and grip, so that the car performs better at high speeds.
Second, the economy is developing rapidly
In recent years, China's social and economic development momentum has been very strong, people's living standards have also improved, and buying a car is no longer a difficult task for many families. On the other hand, the rapid growth of the number of cars has also had a certain impact on the traffic environment, although China's highway construction is very complete, but every holiday is also prone to highway traffic jams. Therefore, in order to improve the pass rate of cars on the highway and reduce the occurrence of traffic jams, in addition to further expanding the highway itself, the simplest and roughest solution is to increase the maximum speed limit and let the owner drive the car faster.
Third, the safety awareness of car owners has been improved
As mentioned earlier, the number of cars is increasing rapidly, so the road conditions and vehicle conditions in various cities have become more complex. This requires car owners to have to play a twelve-point spirit to cope with complex road conditions and prevent traffic accidents when driving. On the other hand, the popularity of family cars also allows more car owners to often contact the car, with the gradual accumulation of driving experience, the owner's safety awareness and emergency handling response are gradually mature, to a certain extent to reduce the probability of accidents.
summary:
In general, the relevant departments have raised the penalty standard for high-speed speeding to more than 20% and have indeed alleviated the problem of highway traffic pressure to a certain extent. But this does not mean that the relevant departments are encouraging car owners to speed, and all car owners should strictly abide by traffic rules when they go out, and take their own life safety as the first priority.
