When a motor vehicle passes through a railway crossing, sharp curve, narrow road, or narrow bridge, the maximum driving speed shall not exceed 30 km/h. When a motor vehicle encounters any of the following situations, the maximum driving speed shall not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, and for tractors, battery-powered vehicles, and wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles, the speed shall not exceed 15 kilometers per hour: 1. When entering or exiting a non-motorized lane, passing through a railway crossing, sharp curve, narrow road, or narrow bridge; 2. When making a U-turn, turning, or descending a steep slope; 3. When encountering fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail with visibility within 50 meters; 4. When driving on icy, snowy, or muddy roads; 5. When towing a malfunctioning motor vehicle.

I've studied traffic regulations, and the speed of vehicles when passing through narrow bridges must absolutely not exceed 30 kilometers per hour. This limit is mandatory because the limited space on narrow bridges makes collisions more likely at higher speeds. For example, when I drive across narrow bridges in rural areas, I always reduce my speed to around 25 in advance to avoid being unable to dodge oncoming vehicles when passing each other. Once, I forgot to slow down while crossing a bridge on a rainy day, and my car skidded, nearly plunging into the river—a real wake-up call. Safe driving requires us to maintain this speed limit, especially when the bridge is aging or the weather is bad, when it should be reduced to below 20 to protect both ourselves and the bridge structure. Remember, frequently checking the rearview mirror and brake condition can enhance safety when passing through.

I've got some real insights about driving across narrow bridges: you must keep your speed below 30 km/h! When I was younger, I did something foolish - accelerated hard trying to rush across the bridgehead, only to scrape against the guardrail leaving deep scratches and even denting the bumper. Now that I'm more experienced, whenever I see a narrow bridge sign, I ease off the throttle and slow down below 30 km/h for a smooth, worry-free crossing. Narrow bridges often have many curves with poor visibility - speeding increases braking distance with serious consequences. On weekend trips when I take mountain roads, driving slowly across narrow bridges actually lets me enjoy the scenery and have pleasant conversations with family. Maintaining this habit not only follows traffic rules but also extends the vehicle's lifespan.

A speed of 30 km/h is the absolute limit when crossing a narrow bridge—never exceed it! The confined space poses significant risks, and higher speeds can easily lead to loss of control, resulting in fatal collisions with oncoming vehicles or bridge piers. I've reviewed accident reports, which show that speeding accounts for up to 70% of such incidents, often leaving victims severely injured or comatose. That's why I constantly remind myself while driving: keep the speedometer below 30, and reduce it further to under 20 during rain or snow. This speed limit provides ample reaction time to anticipate potential hazards like pedestrians or obstacles. Adhering to this rule is a lifesaving necessity—no room for carelessness.

I always comply with traffic regulations: maintaining speeds below 30 km/h when crossing narrow bridges. The law clearly sets this limit - exceeding it incurs a 200 yuan fine plus 3 penalty points, which simply isn't worth the risk. Narrow bridges have fragile structures, and speeding vibrations can damage the bridge deck, increasing maintenance costs. During long drives, I pay special attention, observing road signs in advance to reduce speed below 30 km/h, ensuring no speed camera violations. Narrow bridges on urban expressways are prone to congestion - driving slowly prevents scratches and maintains order. Developing this habit significantly enhances safety - never gamble with speed just to save time.

Are Audi and Volkswagen engines the same?

Audi engines and Volkswagen engines are the same, but there are differences in some functions and details. The specific differences are as follows: Different systems installed: Audi engines are equipped with the AVS system, while Volkswagen engines are not. The AVS system is Audi's variable valve lift technology. Engines equipped with this system can change the valve lift according to different working conditions. Differences in engine cooling, noise reduction, and heat insulation: Audi is Volkswagen's high-end model, and many optimizations have been made in engine cooling, noise reduction, and heat insulation, which Volkswagen does not have. Different combustion methods: The stratified combustion of Audi engines is a type of lean combustion. This combustion method makes power delivery smoother and fuel consumption performance more perfect, while Volkswagen does not use this technology.

What is the recommended cold tire pressure in summer?

Summer cold tire pressure is normal between 2.2 2.5, with relevant information as follows: 1. Cold tire pressure: The generally recommended cold tire pressure is 2.5, which results in lower fuel consumption and keeps the tire pressure within the safe range of 3.0 during high-speed driving. 2. Tire pressure: Actually, the tire pressure requirements vary for different vehicle models, with different maximum and minimum limits for tire pressure. Even the same tire installed on different vehicle models has different pressure requirements, so the optimal tire pressure is not a fixed value but depends on the specific vehicle model. The standard tire pressure value for each vehicle model is indicated in the user manual, on the inside of the fuel tank cap, or below the B-pillar on the passenger side. Although manufacturers provide the optimal tire pressure value, it should be adjusted according to temperature changes. In summer, when temperatures are higher, it is recommended to reduce the tire pressure by 0.1 0.2, while in winter, when temperatures are lower, it is recommended to increase the tire pressure by 0.1~0.2.

Can You Continue Driving When the Warning Light Comes On?

When the car's warning light comes on, you need to stop immediately for inspection and determine whether you can continue driving based on the inspection results. There are generally two situations when the warning light comes on: A yellow symbol light indicates an engine malfunction. A red symbol light indicates a serious engine malfunction that requires immediate maintenance. For the above two situations, the specific solutions are as follows: Check the oil pressure warning light and the water temperature gauge. If there are no issues with the oil pressure gauge and the water temperature gauge, the car can continue to drive, but you should control the speed and immediately head to the nearest repair shop for maintenance. If the oil pressure gauge and the water temperature warning light come on, it indicates that the car has a clear malfunction. You should pull over immediately and call for assistance.
