Can Cars Run Long Distances in 40-Degree High-Temperature Weather?

[Ken]

Yes. Pay attention not to drive for too long. Precautions for driving in high temperatures: 1. Drowsiness: Driving in high-temperature weather can easily cause drowsiness. If you feel tired, be sure to rest at a nearby hotel and do not park randomly. Drivers planning long-distance trips should ensure sufficient rest before getting on the highway to prevent sudden drowsiness. 2. Tire blowouts: There are three main causes of tire blowouts: excessive tire wear, speeding, or vehicle overload. In high-temperature weather, always check the tires before driving. If the wear is significant, it is advisable to replace them with new tires. On national and provincial highways, do not exceed the speed limit. When the temperature reaches 35°C, the ground temperature may reach 60°C. At high speeds, tires expand and contract due to heat, making them particularly prone to bursting. 3. Distraction: Summer can easily make people tired. When driving, if traffic is light and road conditions are good, it's easy to relax and let your guard down, increasing the risk of accidents. When drivers feel tired or distracted, they can listen to some upbeat music to stay alert.
