Can Private Cars Carry 75% Alcohol?
2 Answers
Private cars carrying alcohol will not be checked by traffic police, and there are no clear laws prohibiting cars from carrying alcohol on the road. However, for safety reasons, it is best not to carry high-concentration alcohol while driving, as alcohol is a flammable item. Precautions for private cars are as follows: 1. Regular oil changes: The routine maintenance of private cars mainly involves changing the oil and oil filter. It is important to replace them regularly or according to mileage, typically every six months or every 5,000–6,000 kilometers. Deliberately postponing this is not good for the car. 2. Car bolts are not the tighter the better: Note that the bolts used in the vehicle should not be too tight, as this can easily cause deformation of metal interfaces and components. There are many bolts in a vehicle, and special attention should be paid when tightening them—they should not be too tight, as they can deform under external forces. Generally, tightening them to a certain degree is sufficient. 3. Regular waxing: Cars should be waxed regularly to add a protective barrier to the body and preserve the paint. Apply the wax in straight lines, alternating between horizontal and vertical strokes, and finish in the direction of rainwater flow. This helps reduce the appearance of concentric circular halos on the paint surface.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I’ve always been very cautious about safety. Bringing 75% alcohol in the car is indeed risky because of its high concentration and extreme flammability. In summer, car temperatures can easily exceed 40°C, and if the bottle isn’t tightly sealed or leaks, even a small spark could cause serious trouble—ranging from burning items to triggering a fire. Last time, my friend carried a small bottle in the back seat, and it leaked due to the car’s jolting, nearly damaging the seat. Personally, I’d advise against bringing it at all. If you must, limit it to a small bottle (under 100ml), store it in a metal box in the trunk, away from the battery or lighters, and ensure the cap is tightly secured. Regularly check the bottle for damage, and before driving, sniff for any unusual odors in the car to avoid potential hazards. Safety always comes first—better to avoid it if possible.
