Experts warn that speeding not only increases the risk of traffic accidents but also harms the driver's health. Research shows that prolonged high-speed driving can have a series of adverse effects on both physical and mental health:
First, it causes cerebrovascular spasms. Long-term high-speed driving on ordinary roads leads to intense jolts and vibrations. If these vibrations act on the human body for an extended period, they can cause spasms in the brain's blood vessels, leading to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, tinnitus, and hearing loss.
Second, it can induce coronary heart disease. The faster the vehicle travels, the more intense the mental stress, leading to heightened brain cortex excitement and increased secretion of adrenaline-like substances, which accelerates the heart rate. If the vehicle speed exceeds 80 km/h, the heart rate can increase to 100-110 beats per minute; at speeds above 120 km/h, the heart rate can exceed 110 beats per minute. Prolonged high-speed driving inevitably affects cardiovascular function and increases the risk of coronary heart disease.
Third, it can lead to psychological disorders. Long-term high-speed driving can easily cause psychological barriers, resulting in heightened stress, irritability, and poor mood.
A study of 344 drivers found that, compared to the general population, the incidence of psychological disorders among drivers was 59.8%, with long-distance drivers experiencing a rate as high as 80%, while bus drivers and private car owners had a rate of 44.4%. If psychological issues are not addressed in time, they can manifest as aggressive behavior, frequent arguments, and reckless driving when in a bad mood. Severe cases may lead to chronic insomnia, affecting driving safety. Some may even experience strained relationships with colleagues and family members.
Fourth, it can cause spinal and cervical issues. If an obstacle is encountered while driving at high speed, a sudden brake is required. The inertia of the vehicle can cause the head to jerk forward or twist, potentially leading to neck muscle strain or sprain in mild cases, and cervical spine injury in severe cases. Foreign studies also indicate that the vibration frequency of high-speed driving on smooth roads can resonate with the human spine, significantly damaging it and causing back pain. In severe cases, spinal deformation may occur.
