First-time highway driving precautions: 1. Maintain distance - Safe following distance is the primary factor for driving safety. If you follow too closely and the preceding vehicle suddenly encounters an emergency, you won't have enough time to brake. 2. Speed limits - Highway speeds must not be lower than 60 km/h nor exceed 120 km/h. According to traffic regulations, driving below 60 km/h on highways will result in a 3-point penalty. 3. Avoid sharp steering - Always keep a firm grip on the steering wheel at high speeds. When changing lanes or overtaking, avoid large turning angles to prevent vehicle drift at high speeds. For braking, apply the brakes several times gradually rather than slamming them to prevent skidding. 4. If you miss an exit - If you fail to notice the exit warning signs and miss your highway exit, remain calm. Don't attempt to brake sharply or make a U-turn. Continue driving at speed and take the next exit to return to your original route.
