10 taboos of high-speed driving are: 1. Avoid sudden braking or stopping; 2. Stay focused while driving; 3. Don't assume that good cars are meant for speeding; 4. Avoid frequent lane changes; 5. Check vehicle condition before departure; 6. Do not park illegally even if the vehicle has problems; 7. Use lights for signaling more often; 8. No U-turns or reversing; 9. Do not throw objects out of the window on highways; 10. Fatigue driving is prohibited. Maintain a speed of 90 to 100 under normal highway conditions. If your speed is below 80, it is recommended to use ordinary roads instead. Drive within the traffic lane as much as possible and avoid occupying the overtaking lane for extended periods.
When driving on the highway, I always prioritize safety. After a near-accident experience, I summarized the top 10 taboos. First is speeding—too high speed means shorter reaction time, making it hard to stop in time. Second is drowsy driving—not resting when sleepy drastically increases accident risks. Third is tailgating—following too closely leaves no room to avoid sudden brakes. Fourth is frequent lane changes—constant switching irritates other drivers and raises collision risks. Fifth is not using turn signals—acting like an invisible hazard, leaving others guessing your moves. Sixth is texting while driving—just seconds of distraction can cause a rear-end crash. Seventh is occupying the emergency lane—blocking it during emergencies and risking fines or towing. Eighth is not wearing seatbelts—minor bumps turn deadly, especially on rough roads. Ninth is drunk or drugged driving—driving impaired on highways is suicidal. Tenth is not checking tire pressure—a blowout at high speed can cause loss of control and rollover. Remember these—don’t risk big losses for small gains. Arriving safely matters most.
