For driving a motor vehicle on the highway, the specific matters to be noted are as follows: 1. Seat belts ensure safety. On the highway, wearing or not wearing a seat belt can make a huge difference in the consequences of an accident. 2. Try to avoid driving at night. Nighttime is a high-risk period for various accidents. 3. Do not exceed the speed limit. The highest speed limit on highways in China is 120KM/H. 4. Use flashing lights more often when overtaking. Overtaking, stopping on ramps, acceleration lanes, or deceleration lanes is prohibited. 5. Do not occupy the emergency lane unless in an emergency. Except in cases of obstacles, breakdowns, or other situations where stopping is necessary, random stopping is not allowed. Driving on the emergency lane or shoulder is prohibited unless entering or exiting for parking purposes.
I just got my driver's license recently, so I need to be extra careful when driving on the highway. First, speed control is crucial—don't exceed the speed limit or drive too slowly and block others. Maintain a safe following distance of at least 150 meters to handle sudden braking. I make it a habit to frequently check the rearview mirror and blind spots, and always signal early before changing lanes to confirm the situation behind. Vehicle maintenance can't be neglected—check tire pressure and wear before each trip, as low pressure can easily lead to blowouts. The lighting system should also be inspected, especially for night driving; headlights must be working to see the road clearly. Fatigue is a major enemy, so I take a 10-minute break at a service area every two hours to stretch. In rainy or foggy conditions, slow down and use fog lights to increase visibility. Keeping these tips in mind helps me drive on the highway with more confidence.
