No, Article 78 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" (State Council Order No. 405) clearly stipulates: "Highways shall indicate the speed limits for each lane. The maximum speed shall not exceed 120 km/h, and the minimum speed shall not be lower than 60 km/h." Additional information: 1. Latest highway speed limit regulations: According to the latest adjustments in highway speed limits, the maximum speed limit has been increased by 10-20 km/h based on the original design speed. For sections with a design speed of 80 km/h, the maximum speed limit is raised to 100 km/h; for sections with a design speed of 100 km/h, the maximum speed limit is raised to 120 km/h; tunnel speed limits have been increased from 60 km/h to 80 km/h. 2. Reminder: In accident-prone areas and road maintenance sections, drivers must still adhere to the speed limits indicated by on-site signs. On all highway sections, the maximum speed limit does not exceed 120 km/h. When driving home during holidays, avoid speeding. It is reported that speed limits for large buses and trucks have also been adjusted accordingly, but on the same section, the difference with passenger car speed limits must not exceed 20 km/h. 3. Tunnel and tunnel group speed limits: Generally set at 80 km/h. Speed limits in accident-prone areas are usually 20 km/h lower than the main highway. Sharp curves and interchange ramps have speed limits based on their design speed. ETC lanes have a speed limit of 20 km/h, and truck weigh-in-motion lanes have a speed limit of 5 km/h. Additionally, except for ring roads which have lane-specific speed limits, all other sections have vehicle-type-specific speed limits. 4. Maximum speed limits for large trucks, buses, and passenger cars on Chinese highways: 90 km/h, 100 km/h, and 120 km/h, respectively. Vehicles traveling in the same direction in the same lane must maintain a minimum distance of 200 meters to ensure that the following vehicle has sufficient braking distance to stop if the leading vehicle suddenly stops due to an emergency, thereby avoiding chain collisions.

As a veteran driver with hundreds of thousands of kilometers under my belt, I must say don't even try it! The expressway speed limit in China is strictly 120 km/h, and exceeding it by 50% will get you 12 demerit points and a 2000 yuan fine. Once I was rushing late at night and sped up to 160 km/h when suddenly a truck ahead dropped something. If it weren't for the car's automatic emergency braking, I would have almost rear-ended it. The braking distance at 180 km/h is more than double that at 120 km/h, and a tire blowout at that speed is almost certainly fatal. Those minor road undulations that you barely notice at low speeds make the car feel like it's about to take off at 180 km/h. If you really want to experience speed, a track day for a few hundred yuan is the way to go.

Why Does the Car Make a Squeaking Noise When the Air Conditioner is On?

Here are the reasons for the abnormal noise when the car's air conditioner is on: 1. Air conditioner pump head. This type of fault mainly occurs at the engagement surface of the air conditioner electromagnetic clutch. If the electromagnetic clutch is worn, it can cause abnormal noise. If this is indeed the source of the problem, it is recommended to replace it. 2. Bearing performance. This refers to the compressor clutch bearing. This type of fault source usually occurs only when the air conditioner is operating and is directly related to acceleration. For this vehicle fault phenomenon, it is recommended to go to a repair shop for inspection. Here are the solutions for abnormal noise in the car's air conditioner: 1. Open the air filter cover under the glove compartment on the passenger side, cover it with a gauze bag, start the car, and turn the fan to the highest setting to blow out any foreign objects. Alternatively, go to a repair shop to have high-pressure airflow blow out the foreign objects. 2. Replace the refrigerant.

How many cylinders does a BMW 3 Series have?

The BMW 3 Series is equipped with four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines. The only generation to feature a three-cylinder engine was the sixth generation, where the 318 model used a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The 3 Series has been localized for the Chinese market, and all domestically produced 3 Series models use a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The domestically produced 3 Series employs three versions of this engine: a low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 156 horsepower and 250 Nm of maximum torque, a medium-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 184 horsepower and 300 Nm of maximum torque, and a high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 258 horsepower and 400 Nm of maximum torque.

What are the causes of motorcycle ABS failure?

Here are the specific reasons for motorcycle ABS failure: 1. ABS pump failure or ABS pump power supply grounding circuit failure. 2. Loose sensor wiring connectors or failure of a certain sensor function. 3. Related fuse blown or burnt out. 4. System signal transmission blocked. 5. False failure, system false alarm. Below is extended information about the ABS system: 1. Function of the ABS system: ABS is the vehicle anti-lock braking system, which belongs to the active safety system of the car. When the ABS light comes on, it indicates that the car computer has detected a fault in the ABS system. 2. Principle of the ABS light: Under normal driving conditions, the ABS remains dormant. It only activates during emergency braking, such as high-speed sudden braking, when the car computer determines such a situation. When the ABS light comes on, it is mostly due to the speed sensor of the tire not working properly. The ABS computer cannot recognize the driving conditions of each tire, making it impossible to compare the slippage of each wheel, resulting in the ABS system not functioning properly.

Why is the license plate registration at 4S stores so slow?

4S stores' slow license plate registration can be expedited by urging them to complete the procedures as soon as possible. Alternatively, car owners can choose to handle the license plate registration procedures themselves at the vehicle management office. Materials required for vehicle license plate registration: 1. Original and photocopy of ID card. If processing on behalf of someone else, both the agent's and the car owner's IDs must be brought. 2. Original and photocopy of the invoice. 3. Original and photocopy of the vehicle qualification certificate. 5. Original and photocopy of the compulsory insurance policy. 6. Tax payment certificate. Relevant information about license plates is as follows: 1. Introduction: License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates hung on the front and rear of a vehicle, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. 2. Function: License plates serve as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles. Their main purpose is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs and to trace the vehicle's owner and registration details based on the license plate number.

When is the best time to take a new car on the highway?

New cars should avoid high-speed driving, long-distance driving, and fully loaded driving. During the break-in period of a new car, the following points should be noted: 1. The first 500 kilometers are the initial break-in period, during which the speed should not be too high. Generally, it is best to stay below 70-80 km/h, with the engine speed not exceeding 2200 rpm. 2. From 500 to 1000 kilometers is the mid-term break-in period, during which the maximum speed can be appropriately increased. Generally, it can reach 90-100 km/h, with the engine speed still best kept below 2500 rpm. Appropriately increasing speed will not affect the engine but can promote the break-in process and help identify any abnormalities during acceleration. 3. From 1000 to 1500 kilometers is the late break-in period, during which the speed can be increased to below 120 km/h. Since the break-in is a gradual process, it must be done step by step. The engine speed should not exceed 3000 rpm.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Turning on the AC Button?

Here are the specific reasons for the abnormal noise when turning on the AC button in a car: 1. Contaminated electromagnetic clutch: Due to the electromagnetic clutch being located relatively close to the ground, prolonged driving can cause it to accumulate dirt or mud, leading to bearing damage and resulting in abnormal noise. 2. Loose drive belt: The car's air conditioning compressor places high demands on the electromagnetic clutch during operation. A loose drive belt increases the load on the electromagnetic clutch, making it prone to damage and, in severe cases, causing the compressor to burn out. 3. Repeated engagement of the electromagnetic clutch: Frequent engagement of the electromagnetic clutch can lead to insufficient power generation from the alternator, causing the compressor to operate with inadequate voltage and resulting in abnormal noise. 4. Lack of lubricating oil: Insufficient lubricating oil inside the compressor. After prolonged use, it's necessary to add an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to avoid abnormal noise or failure due to friction.
