Variable speed limit on highways is used for roads and expressways to timely remind drivers of their driving speed. The speed limit value can be displayed through the monitoring center based on actual road conditions, thereby effectively guiding traffic flow, promoting driving safety, and improving the transportation capacity of the road network. Maximum speed of vehicles on highways: The maximum speed of small passenger cars on highways shall not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, other motor vehicles shall not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, and motorcycles shall not exceed 80 kilometers per hour. For two lanes in the same direction: The minimum speed of the left lane is 100 kilometers per hour. For three or more lanes in the same direction: The minimum speed of the leftmost lane is 110 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed of the middle lane is 90 kilometers per hour.

As a long-haul driver, I really appreciate the variable speed limits on highways. Those are the speed limits displayed on large electronic signs that automatically adjust based on traffic conditions. For example, during congestion or rainy weather, it can instantly drop from 120 to 80, reminding everyone to drive slower for safety. This intelligent system helps reduce rear-end collisions caused by sudden braking and creates smoother traffic flow overall. I find following it beneficial, especially during peak hours - it saves fuel and reduces traffic paralysis. Though new drivers might need time to adapt - don't just rely on your navigation system.

At what age can you start taking the driver's license test?

Depending on the type of vehicle, the minimum age requirement for applying for a driver's license varies. For small cars, you can start taking the test at 18 years old, while for medium-sized buses, you must be at least 21 years old. Below are the relevant details: 1. Driving test: The examination for motor vehicle drivers is divided into three subjects: the knowledge test on road traffic safety laws and regulations, the field driving skills test, and the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test. 2. Notes: Each test provides two attempts. If both attempts are unsuccessful, you will need to reschedule the test.

What causes engine shaking at idle?

The reasons for engine shaking at idle are as follows: 1. Fuel quality issues: The shaking may be caused by fuel quality problems, such as using gasoline with a lower octane rating than recommended or poor-quality gasoline, which can lead to idle shaking. If this problem occurs immediately after refueling, it is most likely due to fuel quality issues. In this case, it is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair to see if the engine has been damaged. 2. Spark plug issues: Aging, damage, or malfunction of spark plugs can also cause idle shaking. For example, excessive carbon buildup on spark plugs can be resolved by replacing them with a new set, and the shaking problem will disappear.

What Are Cruise Control and Adaptive Cruise Control?

Here are the detailed introductions of cruise control and adaptive cruise control: 1. Cruise Control: Cruise control consists of four main components: the command switch, vehicle speed sensor, electronic throttle actuator, and ECU. However, this function is generally set with a minimum speed limit in most vehicles, meaning the car's computer will only maintain a "consistent and stable" speed when a certain speed is reached. Apart from this, operations such as steering and braking still need to be controlled by the driver. 2. Adaptive Cruise Control: Adaptive cruise control can be considered an upgraded version of cruise control. During driving, the distance sensor (radar) installed at the front of the vehicle continuously scans the road ahead, while the wheel speed sensor collects speed signals. When the distance to the vehicle in front becomes too small, the adaptive cruise control unit can coordinate with the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and engine control system to apply appropriate braking and reduce engine output power, thereby maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.

Physical conditions: (1) Height: For large passenger cars, tractors, city buses, large trucks, or trolleybuses, the applicant must be at least 155 cm tall. For medium-sized passenger cars, the applicant must be at least 150 cm tall; (2) Vision: For large passenger cars, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger cars, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, the applicant's naked or corrected vision must reach at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other vehicle types, the naked or corrected vision must reach at least 4.9 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart; (3) Color vision: No red-green color blindness; (4) Hearing: The applicant must be able to distinguish the direction of sound at 50 cm from a tuning fork in each ear. Those with hearing impairments who can meet the above conditions with hearing aids may apply for a driver's license for small cars or small automatic transmission cars.

Is it good to perform the first maintenance in advance for a new car?

Performing the first maintenance in advance is quite good, as long as it is not delayed too much. However, doing it too early is unnecessary. Here are the relevant details: 1. First maintenance items: The first maintenance mainly involves changing the engine oil and oil filter, along with a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle, including all lights, all fluids, the functionality of the entire electrical system, tires, all components of the chassis, and the engine and transmission to ensure everything is working properly. 2. Maintenance intervals: The timing of minor maintenance depends on the effective time or mileage of the engine oil and oil filter used. Timely maintenance can also extend the lifespan of the car.

What causes engine vibration when pressing the accelerator deeply?

Severe engine vibration when pressing the accelerator deeply may be caused by faults such as bending, twisting, or breaking of the car's half-shaft, as well as wear or skewing of the spline teeth. Below is an introduction to car engines: 1. The meaning of a car engine: A car engine is the device that provides power to the car, serving as the heart of the vehicle, determining its power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. 2. Working principle: The working principle of a car engine, simply put, involves converting the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston movement, which then outputs power to drive the vehicle forward.
