Generally, the maximum speed limit on highways is 120 kilometers per hour. Below is relevant information about highway speed limits: 1. Speed limit regulations: When driving normally on highways, the minimum speed for motor vehicles should not be less than 60 kilometers per hour. The maximum speed for small passenger vehicles should not exceed 120 kilometers per hour; for large passenger vehicles, freight trucks, and motorcycles, it should not exceed 90 kilometers per hour. However, if the speed indicated by speed limit traffic signs or road markings differs from the above regulations, the signs or markings should be followed. 2. Different lane regulations: For highways with two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 kilometers per hour; for highways with three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed for the middle lane is 90 kilometers per hour. If the speed indicated by road speed limit signs differs from the above lane speed regulations, the speed indicated by the road speed limit signs should be followed.

When driving normally on the highway, I think a speed between 100 to 120 kilometers per hour is generally appropriate, especially on China's highways where most sections have speed limits within this range. Every time I drive on the highway, I tend to maintain around 110 km/h, as this keeps pace with the mainstream traffic without causing delays to others, while also avoiding speeding tickets. At 110 km/h, the car runs smoothly and fuel-efficiently, with the engine operating smoothly and fuel consumption kept at a reasonable level. In heavy traffic or rainy conditions, I reduce my speed to 80-90 km/h to ensure sufficient braking distance, as safety is always the top priority. Speeds much higher than 130 km/h increase wind noise, which can distract the driver, while speeds below 80 km/h may lead to being tailgated by other vehicles, causing traffic disruptions. New drivers can start at 100 km/h and gradually adjust as they gain experience. In short, speed should be flexibly adjusted based on road and weather conditions.

As a safety-conscious veteran driver, I recommend maintaining a speed between 90 to 110 km/h during normal highway driving, which strikes a balance between efficiency and risk. Speeds exceeding 120 km/h drastically increase accident rates and double braking distances, making it nearly impossible to react timely to sudden situations ahead. Conversely, driving below 60 km/h can lead to rear-end collisions, which I've personally witnessed on the road. In rainy or foggy conditions, I automatically reduce speed to around 70 km/h and activate fog lights. During long-distance drives, maintaining a safe following distance is crucial—I use the two-second rule to gauge spacing and avoid fatigue. Highways are designed with optimal speeds in mind, and adhering to these rules ensures a safer and more reassuring journey.

For normal highway driving speeds, I consider 110 kilometers per hour to be the sweet spot, offering the most comfortable and efficient performance from the vehicle's perspective. Driving at excessively high speeds, such as 130 km/h, places a heavier burden on the engine, significantly increases fuel consumption, and accelerates tire wear. Conversely, speeds that are too low, like 70 km/h, cause the engine to operate inefficiently, potentially harming the vehicle over time. When driving within the 110-120 km/h range, I find the car responds sharply, handles turns smoothly, and maintains exceptional stability, especially on straight highways, gliding effortlessly. Of course, speeds should be reduced to below 80 km/h at entrances, exits, or curves to prevent loss of control. In heavy traffic, it's best to match the pace of the vehicle ahead rather than accelerating recklessly. For new cars during the break-in period, I recommend driving around 100 km/h to protect the engine. Ultimately, speed management is an integral part of the art of driving.

What are the reasons for the unresponsive Civic center control screen?

Here are the reasons why the Civic center control screen is unresponsive: 1. The display screen is damaged and needs to be replaced. 2. System issue, which can be resolved by restoring the system. 3. Poor line contact. First, check whether the plug of the car lock is loose or detached, then inspect the wiring harness and harness plug of the car's center control to ensure they are intact before restarting the system. 4. Module circuit problem. Additional information: The Honda Civic and Honda CR-V launched in China come from the same production platform. The front suspension system and rear suspension system adopt MacPherson independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension respectively, achieving a good balance between the car's comfort and spatial performance.

Do Hybrid Vehicles Not Require Charging?

Hybrid vehicles are divided into two types: one is the non-plug-in type, which does not require charging, and the other is the plug-in type, which does require charging. Here is an introduction to hybrid vehicles: 1. Introduction One: Non-plug-in hybrid vehicles use part of the engine's power to generate electricity when the vehicle does not require high power from the engine. 2. Introduction Two: Plug-in hybrid vehicles are a new type of hybrid electric vehicle. 3. Introduction Three: The driving principle and driving unit of plug-in hybrid vehicles are the same as those of electric vehicles.

How to solve the problem that BYD G6 cannot detect the key?

If the BYD G6 cannot detect the key, it may be due to a dead key battery or electromagnetic interference near the vehicle. Here are the solutions: 1. Press any button on the key to check if the indicator light turns on. If not, it means the key battery is dead and needs to be replaced. 2. If there is poor battery contact, use the mechanical key to open the key casing, rotate the battery or remove and reinstall it, then test again. 3. Use the spare key to test. If the spare key can unlock the car door, it means the currently used key is faulty and needs to be repaired at a service center. Note: If none of the above methods work, use the mechanical key to open the car door and drive the car to a 4S shop for inspection and repair by professional technicians.

What is the RPM when driving at 120 km/h on the highway?

Generally, for models with 1.6L to 2.0L engines, the RPM is approximately around 3000 when driving at 120 km/h, and it may vary depending on the vehicle's condition. Here is some relevant information about engine RPM: 1. Impact of engine RPM: The level of engine RPM relates to the number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine, meaning the engine's effective power changes with different RPM levels. 2. Measurement of engine RPM: Typically, a speed sensor is used, corresponding to the signal teeth on the flywheel, to measure the engine's RPM.

What does the wrench symbol on a Volkswagen dashboard indicate?

The appearance of this symbol indicates that the vehicle has reached the mileage interval set by the system, requiring routine maintenance. Here are some other common dashboard symbols: 1. Coolant Temperature Warning Light: This indicator typically remains illuminated when the car is first started, especially in winter. Shaped like a blue thermometer, it lights up when the coolant temperature is either too high or too low. Some vehicles display this information through a temperature gauge on the dashboard, with the needle moving according to the coolant temperature. 2. Parking Brake Indicator: This red exclamation mark symbol (with bracket-shaped sides) illuminates when the parking brake is engaged and disappears automatically when released. 3. Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light: Resembling an "oil can" symbol, this indicator signals an issue with the vehicle's engine oil. When it appears, you should immediately find a safe place to park and contact an authorized service center for assistance.
