What are the precautions for high-speed driving?

Precautions for high-speed driving: 1. Conduct a thorough vehicle inspection before entering the highway, especially checking the fuel, engine oil, tire pressure, and lights, as these are frequently needed on the highway; 2. Do not arbitrarily occupy the emergency lane. The emergency lane on the highway is a rescue lane. In the event of a traffic accident during congestion, the emergency lane serves as a lifeline, so avoid using it while driving; 3. Make fine adjustments when steering on the highway; 4. Do not exceed the speed limit while driving at high speeds, especially in certain special areas where speed limits are generally lower. These areas often have more surveillance cameras and are also places where traffic violations are more likely to occur.
When driving on the highway, I must pay attention to controlling my speed and avoid speeding to prevent loss of control or fines, usually maintaining it between 100-120 km/h. It's important to keep a safe distance, especially in heavy traffic; if the car behind is too close, I lightly tap the brakes as a reminder. While driving, always use the turn signal before changing lanes, check the mirrors and blind spots, and only proceed when it's safe. Long-distance driving can be tiring, so I take a 15-minute break every two hours to drink water and stretch; if I feel very sleepy, I pull over at a service area to nap. It's also important to avoid sudden braking or acceleration, as it's both harmful to the car and unsafe. Nighttime highway driving requires extra caution—keep the headlights on, stay focused, and reduce speed while turning on hazard lights in fog or rain. In emergencies like a tire blowout, grip the steering wheel firmly and slowly pull over to the side.
