Netizens found their traffic violations according to the test video and reported them to the traffic police department, and then in response to the police investigation evidence, BYD Formula Leopard retrieved the relevant vehicle operation data and found:

On the day of the test, the car had a large number of abnormal driving behaviors, including but not limited to driving at high speeds at 3 periods exceeding 180km/h and 6 periods exceeding 170km/h; In the whole section of high-speed driving, the speed of 120-140km/h accounted for more than 37%, the speed of 140-160km/h accounted for more than 46%, and the speed of more than 160km/h accounted for more than 4%; And the car has repeatedly experienced abnormal driving phenomena such as rapid acceleration and deceleration.

Yao's abnormal driving behavior caused a hazard to road safety, and his misrepresentation of the fuel consumption results of normal tests also caused serious damage to the reputation of the BYD Formula Leopard brand and the Leopard 5 products.

In addition to calling the police, BYD decided to formally file a lawsuit against Yao *qiang, demanding that he publicly apologize and compensate for the loss of 5 million yuan.

We always respect and accept the suggestions and supervision of all sectors of society, but we will resolutely take legal measures to investigate the legal responsibility of BYD and its sub-brands for spreading false information and deliberately smearing the reputation of BYD and its sub-brands.

In December 2023, Douyin's big V with 1.39 million followers, "Daqin Army Shaanxi Tuan" (Yao Weiqiang), tested the high-speed fuel consumption of the Leopard 5, and the result turned out to be 18 liters of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers.

Some netizens posted a screenshot of the blogger's test and said, "The air conditioner is turned on to 31 degrees, the speed exceeds 150 yards per hour, and the sunroof is also open...... Some netizens questioned the blogger's speed of about 180 kilometers per hour, which is a serious suspicion of speeding.

On December 2, the official Weibo of "Formula Leopard Automobile" issued a statement in response to the matter, saying that the police should obtain evidence in the case of "2023.11.28 Yao *qiang is suspected of driving a motor vehicle speeding", and the relevant vehicle operation data was obtained.

The data shows that the vehicle had a large number of abnormal driving behaviors on that day, including but not limited to the following:

1. In the whole section of high-speed driving, there are 3 periods of time when the speed exceeds 180km/h, and 6 periods of time when the speed exceeds 170km/h;

2. In the whole section of high-speed driving, the speed of 120-140km/h accounted for more than 37%, the speed of 140-160km/h accounted for more than 46%, and the speed of more than 160km/h accounted for more than 4%;

3. Abnormal parking time is found in some sections of the expressway.

If the driver of the vehicle does have speeding and sudden braking behavior, it will seriously endanger public safety and harm the public interest.

According to this record, during the entire driving process, the speed was 120-140 kilometers per hour, accounting for 37%. The speed is 140-160 kilometers per hour, accounting for 46%. The speed is 160+ kilometers per hour, accounting for 4%.

"Wuhai traffic police have received a large number of recent netizens to report 'a blogger speeding' incident, we will verify as soon as possible, thank you netizens for their reports and supervision, we will announce the results as soon as possible." On December 3, 2023, the Wuhai traffic police involved in the incident released information stating that a task force had been established.

Wuhai traffic police told Dahe Daily Yu video reporter that the speed limit of the highway in Wuhai jurisdiction is 120 km / h, and the speed limit of some sections is 100 km / h, and what illegal acts are involved in driving to 180 km / h? What are the penalties? The Wuhai traffic police responded that it would depend on the results of the investigation.

On December 4, the big V "Daqin Army Shaanxi Tuan" with 1.39 million followers on Douyin of the party involved posted a video again, saying that the traffic management department criticized and educated him for driving from Weinan to Wuhai on November 28, and at the 110 National Highway Wuhai South Ring Road due to the speed limit of 80 km/h and the actual speed of 103 km/h, and made a decision to fine 200 yuan and deduct 3 points.

"Daqin Army Shaanxi Tuan" (Yao * Qiang) said: "I will launch a lawsuit against private convictions and violations of my personality on the Internet, and at the same time, as the owner of Formula Leopard 5, I will learn lessons from legal compliance and continue to share my car and driving experience with everyone." “
