The following details the pros and cons of adding a windshield to a motorcycle: 1. Benefits: Installing a windshield on a motorcycle helps block wind and can enhance its aesthetic appeal. 2. Drawbacks: During riding, vibrations and shaking of the windshield can impair visibility, increase eye fatigue, and add wind resistance, which negatively impacts power performance and fuel efficiency. In windy conditions, it may also adversely affect the bike's handling, posing significant safety risks. 3. Summary: Motorcycle windshields are not made of glass but rather from lightweight, durable, and easily manufacturable organic synthetic chemical transparent materials. However, their abrasion resistance is average, and they tend to increase wind resistance.

What is the maximum speed limit on national highways?

National highways generally have speed limits ranging from 60 to 80 km/h. Here is some relevant information: 1. Provincial highways: In principle, their speed limits are similar to those of national highways, but they are highly irregular. Many have a limit of 60 km/h, and quite a few are limited to 40 km/h. A limit of 80 km/h is usually applied to very wide roads. It is rare to see national or provincial highways with speed limits exceeding 80 km/h. 2. Expressways: According to Article 78 of the latest revised "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" in October 2017, expressways must indicate the speed limits for each lane. The maximum speed must not exceed 120 km/h, and the minimum speed must not be lower than 60 km/h.

Why Are the Dates on Both Sides of the Seat Belt Different?

Seat belt dates on both sides are different because these four seat belts were not produced in the same batch. Here is some relevant information about seat belts: 1. Introduction to Seat Belts: Seat belts are safety components used in equipment, such as aircraft or during high-altitude work and performances, to ensure safety. The main materials are polyester, polypropylene, and nylon. Seat belts do not only refer to the webbing; besides the webbing, seat belts are also assembled from other components. "Seat belts" have become a primary consideration for drivers and passengers and are one of the most important safety features in vehicles.

Is It Safe to Park a Car in an Underground Garage During Heavy Rain?

Parking a car in an underground garage during heavy rain is not safe. Here are some relevant introductions about driving in the rain: 1. Precautions: When driving through water, you must carefully check the depth, flow speed, and nature of the water, as well as the width of the entry and exit areas and the road conditions. Check if the tires are excessively worn. If the tires are too worn or have insufficient tread, it is easy to form a water film between the tire surface and the water, causing the car to drift, fishtail, and have longer braking distances. 2. Inspection: Check whether the wipers and the defogging devices for the front and rear windows are functioning properly. Carefully check if the fog lights are working well; otherwise, if they are broken, it can easily lead to rear-end collisions in rainy conditions.
