When driving on motorways, why should you maintain the recommended speed of 130 km/h?

Maintaining the recommended speed of 130 km/h on motorways is important for several reasons. First, it helps prevent accidents by ensuring that drivers have enough time to react to sudden changes or hazards on the road. Second, if an accident does happen, driving at this speed can reduce its severity because higher speeds increase the force of impact. Third, driving at a consistent recommended speed promotes an even flow of traffic, reducing stop-and-go situations and minimizing congestion. Following this guideline contributes to overall road safety and smoother traffic conditions.
