The maximum speed allowed is 120 km/h. More information about highway speed limits is as follows: 1. No fine or penalty points will be imposed for speeding within 10% of the limit, but a warning may be issued by traffic police. 2. Speeding between 10% and 20% over the limit will result in a fine of 200 RMB and 3 penalty points. 3. Speeding between 20% and 50% over the limit will result in a fine of 300 RMB and 6 penalty points. 4. Speeding over 50% of the limit will result in a fine of 1000 RMB and 12 penalty points. Additional information: According to China's traffic laws, speeding within 10% of the limit does not incur penalty points or fines, but some regions may still treat it as a violation, requiring the driver to handle the warning at a traffic violation processing window. Safety first—do not speed.

The speed limit on highways is 120 km/h, so the maximum you should drive is 120. Don't exceed it, and the reason is simple: speeding significantly increases danger. For example, after years of driving and witnessing many accidents, I know that at 120 km/h, the braking distance is about 80 meters, but if you speed up to 130 km/h, the distance doubles, making it impossible to stop in time during emergencies. At high speeds, the engine is under heavy load, fuel consumption skyrockets, and parts wear out faster. As for traffic rules, exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% might result in a warning, while exceeding by 20% to 50% can lead to fines ranging from 500 to 2000 yuan and 6 penalty points. More severe cases could even lead to license suspension. Safety first—I usually drive around 115 km/h to leave some buffer and use cruise control set within the speed limit, which saves fuel and keeps me at ease. Remember, road conditions are unpredictable; you should slow down even more during rain or at night. Develop good habits, like regularly checking tires and brakes, to ensure your car is in good overall condition.

The speed limit is 120 km/h, and the maximum speed should not exceed 120 km/h. Speeding is a violation and carries significant risks. I've seen a friend get caught by a camera for driving at 130 km/h, resulting in a 600-yuan fine and 6 penalty points. Even worse, their insurance premium increased afterward. Road speed limits are designed to match curves, gradients, and traffic flow. Driving too fast can lead to loss of control, especially on high-speed curves where rollovers may occur. I've also noticed that maintaining speeds below 120 km/h keeps the car more stable and reduces engine load, prolonging its lifespan. It's advisable to use a mobile app to set speed reminders rather than relying on subjective speed perception, as it's easy to misjudge acceleration on highways. Compliant driving protects both yourself and others. If you encounter a checkpoint, stay calm and gradually reduce speed in advance.

Driving at 120 km/h is the limit, don't exceed it. The engine bears a heavy load at high speeds, which not only consumes more fuel but also accelerates mechanical wear, such as on bearings or the transmission. The 120 km/h limit is set based on road safety tests, ensuring optimal vehicle handling. Speeding increases wind resistance and noise, reduces driving comfort, and raises the risk of fines. I always use GPS to monitor my speed, ensuring I don't exceed the limit. Maintaining this speed ensures even tire wear and extends brake pad life. Occasionally driving slightly slower can enhance stability.

How to Disassemble a Car Rearview Mirror?

Car rearview mirror disassembly method is: First, adjust the rearview mirror angle to a suitable position to create a larger gap between the mirror and the mirror housing, at which point the clips fixing the mirror can be seen. Use a pry bar to open the clips and remove the mirror. If you are replacing something inside the car rearview mirror, there is no need to remove the entire mirror from the car; you can operate directly. The rearview mirror is a mirror specifically designed to reflect light in cars. When reflecting light, concave mirrors have a light-concentrating effect, while plane mirrors and convex mirrors can reflect objects outside the field of view, facilitating observation. Rearview mirrors are divided into stainless steel rearview mirrors and PC rearview mirrors based on material.

What to Do If the Steering Wheel of a Newly Purchased Car Is Not Straight?

If the steering wheel of a newly purchased car is not straight, the solution is: 1. If the steering wheel is on the left, the left wheel will extend the tie rod outward, and the right wheel will shorten it inward; 2. If the steering wheel is on the right, the left wheel will shorten the tie rod outward, and the right wheel will deepen and lengthen inward. The steering wheel not only determines the direction of the vehicle but also whether the driver can save themselves in an emergency. The steering wheel operates based on the vehicle's turning actions. For example, when the vehicle needs to turn left, the right hand pushes upward, and the left hand pulls downward. When the two arms are about to cross, release the left hand, and when the right hand reaches the 9 o'clock position, replace it with the left hand.
