How Serious is Driving Stability Failure?

[McLena]

Not very serious. In most cases, this is an occasional false fault, possibly due to signal transmission issues in the vehicle's onboard computer, or driver error, such as pressing the brake and accelerator simultaneously, confusing the onboard computer; or driving through water puddles at high speed, triggering the alarm conditions. Below are precautions for highway driving: 1. Identify lanes and road signs: On highways, the lane closest to the central divider is the overtaking lane. Avoid lingering in the overtaking lane if not overtaking. The far-right lane is usually the emergency lane—never overtake from here as it is very dangerous. Generally, drive in the main lane but maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. 2. Driving speed: On highways, slower isn't always safer. A speed of 80 to 100 km/h is generally safe (some sections may have speed limits, such as downhill or curves). Driving too slowly can cause rear-end collisions if following vehicles cannot brake in time. 3. Use high beams at night: This improves visibility and safety. Always use the left turn signal when overtaking to indicate lane change, and the right turn signal to return to the main lane after overtaking. Maintain a distance of at least 100 meters when overtaking or returning, depending on speed. 4. Exiting the highway: Pay close attention to exit signs. If you miss your exit, continue to the next one—never reverse or make a U-turn. Many accidents occur when drivers reverse after missing an exit, as following vehicles cannot see them reversing. 5. Long-distance highway driving: The biggest risk is fatigue. It's best to have a replacement driver, as drowsy driving is extremely dangerous. Also, periodically test the brakes to ensure they are functioning properly.
