Can a Five-Year-Old Car with 20,000 km Cracked Tires Drive on the Highway?

[MacJulian]

A five-year-old car with 20,000 km cracked tires is highly prone to tire blowouts at high speeds. For safety reasons, it is recommended to replace the tires as soon as possible. Below are some precautions for highway driving: 1. Control driving speed: While highways have good road conditions, speeding can compromise driving safety. Higher speeds increase centrifugal braking distance and reduce vehicle stability. Additionally, excessive speed shortens the driver's visibility and increases the likelihood of misjudgment. Therefore, controlling speed is the primary condition for ensuring highway safety. 2. Avoid driving too slowly: In China, the minimum speed limit on highways is 60 km/h under normal conditions. Driving too slowly can disrupt traffic flow, hinder the efficiency of the highway, and potentially cause congestion or chaotic overtaking by following vehicles. 3. Maintain a safe following distance: The safe distance between vehicles should vary based on speed, weather, and road conditions. The faster the speed, the greater the following distance should be, especially during rain, snow, fog, or icy road conditions, where the distance should be significantly increased.
