Safe Driving Speeds: Navigating Roads Safely in Hanoi

“A minute of speed can cost a lifetime.” This familiar saying holds true in all situations, especially when driving. However, “speed” doesn’t mean exceeding the speed limit. So, what’s a reasonable speed? How can you drive safely on all roads? Let’s explore this topic with Hanoi Truck!

Understanding Safe Driving Speeds and Their Importance

What is Driving Speed?

Driving speed is a physical quantity representing the distance a vehicle travels in a specific time. It’s typically measured in km/h (kilometers per hour). For instance, a speed of 60 km/h means the vehicle covers 60 kilometers in one hour.

The Importance of Obeying Speed Limits

Obeying speed limits isn’t just a legal obligation; it’s a responsibility we all share to ensure our safety and the safety of others on the road.

According to Nguyen Van An, Director of the Hanoi Safe Driving Training Center: “Speeding is a leading cause of serious traffic accidents. At high speeds, drivers have less time to react to unexpected situations, increasing the risk of losing control and causing accidents.”
