When driving on highways during snowy conditions, the increased rolling resistance on snow-covered roads and the obscured road surface make it difficult for drivers to discern directions. It is essential to adjust your speed and maintain a safe following distance based on visibility. Below are the recommended guidelines based on visibility levels: 1. When visibility is less than 200 meters: Speed should not exceed 60 km/h, and maintain a distance of at least 100 meters from the vehicle ahead in the same lane; 2. When visibility is less than 100 meters: Speed should not exceed 40 km/h, and maintain a distance of at least 50 meters from the vehicle ahead in the same lane; 3. When visibility is less than 50 meters: Speed should not exceed 20 km/h, and exit the highway at the nearest available exit as soon as possible.

How many cubic meters can a 56-meter pump truck pump in one hour?

56-meter pump truck can pump about 50 cubic meters per hour. Pumping capacity of 56-meter pump truck: The pumping capacity per hour varies among different manufacturers' products, but theoretically it is generally around 10 cubic meters/hour. The actual pumping capacity during operation depends on different working conditions, such as pumping stairs, ring beams, or foundations, which will definitely vary. Performance of 56-meter pump truck: It has better performance, with improved quality and technical level: the boom system adopts a lightweight design, inheriting the mature boom structure and welding technology of Zoomlion and CIFA over decades; the vertical pouring height reaches 56 meters, with a horizontal pouring radius of 51 meters; the boom adopts RZ-type folding method, making extension and pouring more flexible.

Is a car with 50,000 kilometers considered old?

A car with 50,000 kilometers is not considered old. The maximum mileage for a sedan before mandatory scrapping is 600,000 kilometers. A car with 50,000 kilometers should undergo timely maintenance. Factors affecting the condition of the car: According to national regulations, a car will only be guided for scrapping after exceeding 600,000 kilometers. This means the actual service life of a car is very long, and a few tens of thousands of kilometers have very little impact on the car. Well-maintained cars can be considered for longer use: Based on the general household car usage of 20,000 kilometers per year, if a car has only been driven 50,000 kilometers in 6 years, it is likely that the owner has taken good care of the vehicle, frequently performing maintenance, detailing, and cleaning. Therefore, even 100,000 kilometers does not make the car old.

What is the check brake light warning light?

check-brake-light is the brake system warning light. Here is relevant information: 1. Constant illumination: Normally lights up when turning on the ignition, pressing the brake pedal, or engaging the handbrake. If it stays on for prolonged periods, it indicates potential issues with the braking system. You should check if the brake fluid level is sufficient. If insufficient, inspect the brake calipers and brake lines for leaks. 2. Weak braking: If you feel reduced braking power or insufficient braking force, it suggests air in the brake system. Check the vacuum booster for leaks. Brake lights are generally installed at the rear of vehicles with red lenses to enhance light penetration, making it easier for following vehicles to detect braking even in low visibility conditions, thereby helping prevent rear-end collisions.

Does driving with car tires in water during rain have any impact?

Driving with car tires in water during rain has no impact. Below are specific explanations regarding car tires in water during rain: 1. Reason: Tires are made of rubber, which does not dissolve in water or undergo chemical reactions with water. Therefore, soaking tires in rainwater for a day has no effect. 2. Impact: If there is accumulated rainwater in low-lying areas, it is best to park elsewhere, as deep water immersion can reach the wheel bearings, causing the grease inside to deteriorate and damage the bearings. Additionally, rainwater has certain corrosive properties and can react chemically with impurities stuck on the tires, leading to surface corrosion. Frequent soaking in rainwater can also cause the rubber to soften, deform, and age prematurely due to thermal expansion and contraction, increasing driving safety hazards.
