Is It Dangerous to Take a 10-Year-Old Car on the Highway?

[McJoshua]

A car that is over 10 years old, as long as it passes the annual inspection and verification, is considered a qualified vehicle and can be driven on the road, including highways. Here is some additional information: 1. Check the fuel level: Driving on the highway consumes more fuel than expected. Fuel consumption increases significantly at high speeds, so ensure you have sufficient fuel before heading onto the highway. 2. Check tire pressure: While driving, tires undergo compression and expansion, known as tire deformation. This phenomenon is especially noticeable when tire pressure is low and speed is high. In such conditions, the internal temperature of the tire rises abnormally, which can cause the rubber layer to separate from the cover layer or the outer tread rubber to break apart and scatter, leading to a tire blowout and potential accidents.
