What is the maximum speed limit for driving a motor vehicle on muddy roads?
2 Answers
Driving a motor vehicle on muddy roads should not exceed a maximum speed of 30 kilometers per hour. When encountering any of the following situations while driving a motor vehicle, the maximum speed must not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, with tractors, battery-powered vehicles, and wheeled special machinery vehicles not exceeding 15 kilometers per hour: 1. Entering or exiting non-motorized vehicle lanes, passing through railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, or narrow bridges. 2. Making U-turns, turning, or descending steep slopes. 3. Encountering fog, rain, snow, sandstorms, or hail with visibility within 50 meters. 4. Driving on icy or muddy roads.
When teaching people to drive, I always emphasize that the speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour on muddy roads. Muddy roads are slippery, and the tires have poor grip, making it easy to skid or lose control if driving too fast. I recommend maintaining a steady speed, avoiding sudden braking or acceleration, and using a lower gear for better stability. There are often water-filled potholes on the road, so turning on the lights to improve visibility and observing road changes is essential. If you exceed the speed limit, not only could you face a fine, but you might also cause an accident, harming yourself or others. Safe driving is more important than anything else. Before heading out in the rain, check the tire pressure and brakes—doing these can significantly reduce risks.
