What Causes Steering Wheel Shaking at 110-120 km/h?

Here are the reasons for steering wheel shaking: Wheel and rim require dynamic balancing: The most common cause is that the tires and rims need dynamic balancing, or the tires are aged and deformed, or the rims are deformed. Tire dynamic balancing can be performed based on the situation. During dynamic balancing, be sure to check the condition of the tires and rims, and replace any that are deformed. Improper engine air-fuel mixture matching: If the engine fault light is on or suddenly lights up, accompanied by body shaking, this is caused by improper engine air-fuel mixture matching. Common problem areas include spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel injectors, carbon deposits, fuel pumps, etc.

Last time when I was driving at 110 km/h on the highway, the steering wheel suddenly started shaking, which scared me so much that I broke out in a sweat. It only got better after I slowed down. Upon checking, it turned out to be a tire balancing issue—there was some mud buildup on the rims, and uneven tire wear caused an uneven weight distribution during high-speed rotation, transmitting vibrations directly to the steering wheel. The mechanic said that if not fixed promptly, it could accelerate suspension system damage, potentially lead to tire blowouts, and even increase fuel consumption. Now I’ve made it a habit to get a balance check every 5,000 kilometers or simply clean the rims before long trips. Safe driving isn’t something to take lightly—spending a little extra time on maintenance ensures stable and worry-free highway driving. Remember, small issues can lead to big consequences, and delaying repairs can double the repair costs later.

Steering wheel vibration between 110-120 km/h is quite common, and I've studied this phenomenon. The key lies in uneven wheel rotation – factors like tire dynamic imbalance, bent rims, or debris adhesion can amplify vibrations through centrifugal force at high speeds. Warped brake rotor surfaces are another contributor, as friction-induced heat distortion becomes more pronounced during high-speed driving. I've also observed that inconsistent tire pressure in some vehicles can cause similar shaking. Don't wait for it to worsen, as delayed steering response significantly increases danger. Regular shop inspections are recommended, and manually cleaning rim contaminants can prevent issues for smoother driving.

Can Shared Cars Be Driven to Other Cities?

Some shared cars can be driven across provinces, but the vehicle must be returned to a designated location. Here is a brief introduction to shared cars: Definition: Shared cars refer to multiple people sharing one vehicle. Drivers only have usage rights to the vehicle, not ownership. It is similar to short-term car rental. The operational model involves companies coordinating vehicles and handling related issues such as insurance and parking. Benefits: Shared cars offer simplified procedures, allowing bookings via phone or online; they are cost-effective and convenient for travel; they can alleviate traffic congestion and road wear; they help reduce air pollution and decrease reliance on traditional energy sources.

What lights should be used when passing a crosswalk in Subject 3?

When passing a crosswalk in Subject 3, you should alternate between high and low beams, and the alternation should be done no less than 2 times. Here are the specific operations for the Subject 3 lighting simulation test: When about to turn at an intersection: Use low beam. When driving on a road with low visibility: Turn on high beam. When about to pass a sharp curve: Alternate between high and low beams no less than 2 times. When about to pass a slope: Alternate between high and low beams no less than 2 times. When about to pass a humpback bridge: Alternate between high and low beams no less than 2 times. When about to pass a crosswalk: Alternate between high and low beams no less than 2 times. When about to pass an intersection without traffic signals: Alternate between high and low beams no less than 2 times. When about to overtake: First turn on the left turn signal, then alternate between high and low beams no less than 2 times, and then turn on the right turn signal. When about to meet another vehicle: Turn on low beam. The Subject 3 lighting test mnemonic can be summarized as follows: If you hear "poor lighting," then turn on high beam; if you hear "stop" or "malfunction," remember to turn on the hazard warning lights; if you hear "overtake" or "no traffic signal control," alternate between high and low beams; if you hear "turn," turn on the corresponding turn signal; in other cases, generally use low beam.

Can New Energy Vehicles Be Charged in the Rain?

In principle, yes, but it is recommended to charge on sunny days whenever possible. Here are the relevant details: Charging Piles: Firstly, charging piles comply with national standards. Whether they are public charging piles from the State Grid or private ones installed by operators for car owners, strict regulations are in place. They are equipped with lightning protection, overload protection, short-circuit protection, and leakage protection. Charging piles that meet national standards use insulating materials for their shells and have a protection rating of IP54, meaning general rainwater splashes will not affect them. Leakage Protection Devices: Charging piles also have internal leakage protection devices that will immediately trip and cut off power in case of a leakage.

What is the speed limit for highway driving?

It depends on the specific situation. Here is the relevant information: Regulations: According to the 'Highway Traffic Management Regulations of the People's Republic of China,' when driving normally on highways, the minimum speed for motor vehicles must not be less than 60 kilometers per hour. The maximum speed for small passenger cars must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour; for large passenger cars and freight vehicles, it must not exceed 90 kilometers per hour; for motorcycles, it must not exceed 80 kilometers per hour, and they must not carry passengers. However, if there are speed limit traffic signs or road markings that indicate a speed limit different from the above regulations, drivers must comply with the signs or markings. Speed: After entering the highway, motor vehicles should increase their speed to at least 50 kilometers per hour as soon as possible. Vehicles entering the highway from an on-ramp must accelerate in the acceleration lane and turn on the left turn signal. When merging into the traffic lane, they must not obstruct the normal flow of other vehicles.

Can I Bring a Mobile Phone for Subject 2 Driving Test?

Mobile phones are not allowed during the driving test. Below is relevant information: Failure: If you fail the Subject 2 test on the first attempt, you can retake it once. If you do not attend the retest or fail again, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled attempts for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill tests must not exceed five. If the fifth attempt is still unsuccessful, the passing scores of other subjects will be invalidated. Notes: Dress comfortably and prepare mentally before the test; during reverse parking, pay attention to key points—do not turn left or right. When parallel parking, ensure the rear wheels do not cross the edge line, adjust the distance properly, remember to use the turn signal and honk. For sharp turns, identify the reference point and turn the steering wheel decisively; during curve driving, enter the curve with a wide turn, maintain a steady speed, and avoid crossing any lines. After the test, drive the car back to the starting position, sign for confirmation, and then turn off the engine.

How many points are deducted for forging or altering a vehicle license at one time?

Forging or altering a vehicle license results in a 12-point deduction at one time.
