A tire blowout at 100 km/h on the highway can cause the vehicle to roll over. Here are some precautions for driving on highways: 1. Overtaking caution: Be extremely careful when overtaking on highways. Always use your turn signal before overtaking and pass from the overtaking lane, avoiding the bad habit of overtaking from the right. After signaling, do not overtake immediately; check the road conditions behind you. When it is safe to overtake, accelerate and maintain a lateral distance of 1.5 meters from the vehicle in front. After overtaking, ensure sufficient distance before merging back into the driving lane to prevent rear-end collisions. 2. Maintain longitudinal distance: Generally, on dry roads with good braking conditions, the distance between vehicles (in meters) should not be less than the speed (in km/h). For example, at 80 km/h, maintain at least 80 meters, and at 100 km/h, maintain at least 100 meters. Always pay attention to roadside distance markers. In rainy, foggy, snowy, or wet road conditions, the distance between vehicles should be more than doubled.
