A speed of 25 'ma' usually means 25 kilometers per hour, which is commonly referred to as 25 km/h. When I drive, I often hear people say this, especially on city streets where the speed limit is typically around this range, such as in residential areas or near schools. Driving at 25 'ma' is safe and not too fast. Actually, the term 'ma' is a misuse in automotive terminology; it should be 'mai,' derived from the English word 'mile.' However, many people in China are accustomed to using '25 ma' to mean 25 kilometers per hour. Remember, when looking at the speedometer, it's best to pay attention to the official units, kilometers per hour or miles per hour, to avoid confusion. Driving at such low speeds makes the car more stable and fuel-efficient, especially in congested areas. I find driving much easier under these conditions, but it's still important to stay alert, obey speed limit signs, and avoid unnecessary trouble.
