What is "speeding"?
Speeding refers to driving a vehicle at a speed that exceeds the legal limit set for a particular road or area. It is considered a traffic violation and can be dangerous, as it reduces the driver's ability to react quickly to obstacles or changes in road conditions. Speeding can result in fines, points on the driver's record, and increased risk of accidents. In some cases, especially in areas with heavy traffic or pedestrian activity, speeding can lead to serious consequences.
