What is the act of driving in excess of the speed limits called?
Speed
Explanation
**Excessive speed** refers to when a vehicle is traveling at a speed higher than the **maximum allowed limit** on a specific road. For example, if the maximum allowed speed is 90 kilometers per hour and a vehicle is traveling at 100 kilometers per hour, it is committing a speeding violation. This is different from **inappropriate speed**, which refers to driving at a speed that, although within the allowed limits, is not safe due to conditions such as weather or road state. Therefore, the correct term to describe the act of exceeding speed limits is **excessive speed**.
