Definition
超速 (chāo sù) means 'to speed' specifically in the sense of exceeding the legal speed limit while driving. It is a traffic-related verb, unlike 奔驰 (bēn chí) which means 'to speed along' or 'gallop' without implying a violation. Use 超速 when talking about breaking the speed limit; use 奔驰 for moving fast in general.
