It is better to have slightly lower tire pressure on the highway, but not too low. The main reasons are as follows: 1. Pressure increases: When driving at high speeds on the highway, continuous friction generates heat in the tires, causing the internal gas pressure to rise. 2. High temperatures can lead to punctures: In summer, combined with high temperatures, excessive tire pressure can easily cause punctures, leading to traffic accidents. 3. Risks of too low pressure: If the pressure is too low, the contact area between the tire and the ground increases, accelerating tire wear and increasing fuel consumption.

Is there a concept of wrong-way traffic on sidewalks?

Sidewalks do not have a concept of wrong-way traffic. Here are the relevant details: 1. Regulations: When riding bicycles, electric bicycles, or tricycles across a motor vehicle lane on a road section, riders should dismount and walk. At sections with pedestrian crossings or pedestrian crossing facilities, they should use these designated paths. In sections without pedestrian crossings, crossing facilities, or where such facilities are inconvenient to use, riders should proceed straight after ensuring safety. 2. Sidewalk: A sidewalk refers to the part of the road separated by curbs, guardrails, or similar facilities, exclusively for pedestrian use, typically about four meters wide.

Will I get points deducted for driving 67 in a 60 speed limit zone?

No penalty will be imposed as exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% only results in a warning. Here are the hazards of speeding: 1. Steering wheel becomes unstable: Speeding increases the difference in airflow speed between the top and bottom of the vehicle body. This differential causes an upward lift force, reducing the vehicle's stability during driving, which is one of the main reasons for unstable steering. 2. Driving habits intensify: The faster the speed, the stronger the vehicle's inertia to maintain straight-line driving, leading to poorer directional control and significantly increased risks. If an emergency occurs ahead, it will be difficult to control the vehicle in a short time, resulting in unimaginable consequences.

What Items Need to Be Affixed to a New Car?

New cars require the following items to be affixed: vehicle inspection compliance label, compulsory traffic insurance label, and temporary vehicle license plate. Temporary Vehicle License Plate: Two temporary license plates should be affixed simultaneously. One should be placed in the upper right corner of the front windshield inside the car, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, and should not be covered by labels such as the compulsory insurance label. The other should be affixed in the upper left corner of the rear windshield inside the car. For other types of vehicles where installation conditions are limited, only one temporary license plate is required, but it should be affixed in the lower left or lower right corner of the front windshield inside the car, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, to ensure driving safety. Vehicle Annual Inspection Label: The upper right corner of the front windshield should display not only the annual inspection compliance label but also the environmental protection label and insurance label. According to traffic regulations, all vehicles on the road must affix the current year's inspection label in a prominent position on the upper right corner of the front windshield.

What Size Storage Box is Suitable for the Trunk?

The size of the storage box for the trunk does not have a specific standard; it can be chosen based on the specific usage environment and conditions. Pre-departure vehicle inspection: Before setting off each day, conduct a comprehensive check of the vehicle, including checking for any oil or water leaks; measuring tire pressure to ensure it is appropriate; inspecting the engine oil condition; and verifying the spare tire is in good condition. Safe driving: Use seat belts correctly. In the event of a severe collision, seat belts provide protection no less effective than airbags. Avoid fatigue driving; take a break every 2 hours. Follow traffic rules: Especially on highways, do not speed. Speeding not only risks fines from traffic police but, more importantly, is unsafe.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Geely Boyue 2.0?

The actual fuel consumption of the Geely Boyue 2.0 is 9.16 liters per 100 kilometers. The following are the reasons for the relatively high fuel consumption of the Geely Boyue: 1. High fuel consumption: As an SUV model, the Boyue's high fuel consumption is a normal phenomenon. Compared to sedans, SUVs inherently have characteristics that lead to higher fuel consumption, such as a higher chassis, greater wind resistance, a bulkier body, and especially a heavier weight. 2. Weight: The automatic transmission version of the Boyue weighs up to 1.67 tons, which is 40% heavier than an A-class sedan, making high fuel consumption a normal occurrence. Compared to similar models, the Boyue's fuel consumption is higher because it has a larger engine displacement.
