What Should Be Noted on Highways?

Highway precautions are as follows: 1. Conduct a thorough vehicle inspection in advance, focusing on fuel, engine oil, tire pressure, lights, etc. Plan your route carefully. For beginners, it is advisable to be accompanied by an experienced driver with at least three years of driving experience. 2. Unlike ordinary roads, highways have speed limits. The minimum speed should not be less than 60 km/h, and the maximum speed should not exceed 120 km/h. 3. Drive in the appropriate lane according to road signs. If you need to overtake, always signal in advance, check the rearview mirror, and then move into the overtaking lane. After completing the overtaking maneuver, follow the same steps: signal in advance, check the rearview mirror, and return to the driving lane. 4. Due to the high speed on highways, road signs can be missed in an instant. Pay close attention to signs or navigation. If you miss an exit, remain calm and avoid sudden braking or attempting to turn around. Instead, continue driving at the same speed and take the next exit to return to your original route. 5. If you feel drowsy, make sure to stop at a service area for rest. Never drive while fatigued, as the consequences can be severe.

When driving on the highway, I always remind myself to maintain a safe following distance—at least two seconds behind the vehicle in front, doubling that in rainy weather. Avoid speeding; ease off the throttle when seeing speed limit signs, as speeding on highways is particularly dangerous. Ensure tire pressure is correct by checking before departure—low pressure can lead to blowouts, especially in summer when the road surface is hot. Watch for fatigue, taking breaks at rest areas every two hours to stretch. Don’t overlook lighting—use low beams and fog lights at night or in poor weather to improve visibility. Signal early and check mirrors before changing lanes, avoiding sharp turns. Carry a phone charger for emergencies. If the car breaks down, pull over safely, turn on hazard lights, and place a warning triangle—safety always comes first.

As a young and novice driver, what I fear most on the highway is losing control of the speed, so I firmly remember to drive within the speed limit and not to rush. Maintaining a safe distance is particularly important; I was taught to keep at least 100 meters from the car in front for safety. Checking the tires and brakes before departure is fundamental. In rapidly changing weather conditions, such as heavy rain, slow down and use fog lights, as poor visibility is dangerous. Taking breaks is also crucial; if feeling tired, stop at a service area for coffee and a chat, don't push through. Additionally, don't play music too loudly as it can distract from focusing on the road. Carry an emergency kit with a reflective vest and simple tools, just in case. These practices make my highway driving more secure.

When taking my family on a highway trip with kids, safety is the top priority. Main points to note: don't drive too fast, ensure children are properly buckled up in the back seat, and avoid distracting conversations. Maintain a safe following distance, anticipate road conditions in advance to avoid sudden braking. Drive slower in bad weather, especially using fog lights in foggy conditions. Before departure, check the vehicle - ensure tire pressure is adequate, brakes are responsive, and lights are bright. Take breaks at service areas to rest and eat, stopping approximately every two hours. Adjust the car temperature to a comfortable level, avoiding excessive air conditioning that might affect the kids. Bring some snacks and water to keep children entertained as they easily get bored. In case of an accident, pull over and wait for assistance without gathering around - these small precautions ensure safety.
