When driving on highways in snowy conditions, the safe following distance should be 100 meters. Here are some important precautions for highway driving: Check your vehicle: Before entering the highway, inspect the braking system and tire pressure/wear to avoid insufficient emergency braking. Both overinflated and underinflated tires are unsuitable for highway driving and can easily lead to blowouts. Wear seat belts: Seat belts should be worn whether driving on regular roads or highways, and rear passengers should also buckle up during highway driving. Drive in designated lanes: Highway lanes are clearly marked with dedicated lanes for large vehicles, small vehicles, etc. When overtaking, return to your original lane promptly after completing the maneuver and avoid occupying other lanes for extended periods. Additionally, emergency lanes should not be occupied without special reasons.
