@motion.engineer1: Driving at 120 instead of 100 km/h… how much time do you REALLY save? ⏱️🚗 📍 On a 50 km trip: 30:00 vs 25:00 → just 5 minutes. And with curves and villages, even less. 🧠 Quiz: what saves more time, 40 → 50 or 80 → 130? Most people pick 80 → 130… wrong! It's the "time-saving bias". 📏 One single km: 40 km/h = 1:30, 50 km/h = 1:12 → 18 s saved. 80 → 130? Only 17 s. 📉 Time = distance ÷ speed → a hyperbola: every extra 10 km/h saves less than the last one. 🔁 Out at 60, back at 40? Your average is 48, not 50. 🛑 But braking distance grows with the SQUARE of speed: +44% at 120 vs 100. The car at 100 stops in time, the one at 120 hits the cones at 75 km/h. 5 minutes saved… is it worth it? Tell us in the comments 👇 #speed #driving #roadsafety #physics #math
5 minutes a trip. two trips a day. 5 days a week. 50 weeks a year. that equates to over 41 hours saved in a year. over the span of a lifetime you'll be saving the equivalent of 102 days

Yea but by going a little bit faster you might make a green light that you normally wouldn’t make or be in front of a slow truck that just got on the street turning those 17 seconds into 17 minutes

Yeah one km it's only 17 seconds faster than driving at 80km but if you're doing a 130 you're on a highway and probably have some major distance to cover. Then the 17 seconds compounds 😂 also, saves money? Well all know it costs more to speed but thanks for stating the obvious. My wallet don't give a shit

Why are you comparing 40->50 and 80->130. Why not 50 compared to 130?

Braking distance is completely wrong. Takes into account ZERO factors

The options are biased tho, if you were to change it from 1km to 100km the difference from 80 to 130 would be significantly larger

5 mins is a lot of time. Dont let this nonsense fool you, I work jobs that 5 mins will determine if you eat anything that day or not, so getting through traffic or going quicker is always best. Just try not to speed, but if you have to do what, nature doesn’t give a fk, only humans worry about that crap

Any time saved is good. Efficiency means to save as much time as possible.

Not to mention fuel savings and reduced wear and tear on the car too [Perfect score]. Just leave home a little sooner if you need to get somewhere in a hurry

The braking depends very highly on the braking performance which is variable between cars trucks ect
