Pickup trucks are classified as cargo vehicles and should adhere to the speed limits for trucks on highways, with a maximum speed not exceeding 90 kilometers per hour. When driving normally on highways, the minimum speed for motor vehicles should not be less than 60 kilometers per hour. The maximum speed limits are as follows: small passenger vehicles should not exceed 120 kilometers per hour; large passenger vehicles and cargo trucks should not exceed 90 kilometers per hour; motorcycles should not exceed 80 kilometers per hour and are not allowed to carry passengers. Introduction to penalties for speeding on highway speed monitoring sections: 1. According to regulations, speeding less than 10% results in a warning without any point deduction or fine; 2. Speeding between 10% and 20% incurs a 3-point deduction and a fine; 3. Speeding between 20% and 50% incurs a 6-point deduction and a fine; 4. Speeding more than 50% results in a 12-point deduction, a fine, temporary suspension of the driver's license, and mandatory training.

I've driven quite a few pickup trucks, and speed on highways is quite important. The national speed limit is 120 kilometers per hour, but due to their tall body and high wind resistance, driving too fast in a pickup can make it unstable and even prone to rollovers. Generally, I recommend keeping it between 100 to 110 kilometers per hour for the safest drive, especially when fully loaded or in rainy and windy conditions. Also, pay attention to specific road signs and regional differences, as some provinces might have lower speed limits. Don’t forget to check tire pressure and the braking system, as these can affect high-speed performance. Driving at high speeds also significantly increases fuel consumption—gas money drains fast, so sticking to around 110 km/h is better. For long drives, it’s best to take a break every two hours to avoid fatigue.

What to Do When the Car Won't Start Due to a Dead Battery?

Solutions for a car that won't start due to a dead battery: 1. Push-starting can be used as an emergency measure, though this only applies to manual transmission vehicles; 2. Jump-starting with cables from another vehicle; 3. Using a portable emergency power bank to charge and start the car. In low-temperature environments, the battery's capacity can be significantly lower than under normal conditions. Some batteries, especially those that have been in use for several years, may easily lose charge when parked overnight in snowy or icy weather or left unused for extended periods, leading to starting issues. When the dashboard indicates insufficient battery power, it's important to charge the battery promptly. Even if the car is left unused for a long time, the battery will gradually lose its charge even in idle state.

Is Wheel Alignment Necessary When Replacing All Four Tires?

Simply replacing tires generally does not require a wheel alignment. However, if the vehicle has experienced severe impacts such as collisions, a wheel alignment is necessary. Below is supplementary information about wheel alignment: 1. Reasons for wheel alignment: Because there are specific angles and relative positions between the car tires, steering mechanism, and front and rear axles. After tire replacement, these angles and positions may become misaligned, leading to issues such as the vehicle pulling to one side, reduced steering precision, an off-center steering wheel, or uneven tire wear, which necessitate timely wheel alignment. 2. Purpose of wheel alignment: Wheel alignment ensures that the tires maintain the optimal angle relative to the vehicle body, reduces wear between the tires and steering components during driving, ensures tight contact between the tires and the road, and helps the vehicle maintain stable straight-line driving.

What does the red circle exclamation mark on the dashboard mean?

The red circle exclamation mark on the dashboard is the brake system warning light. The icon features a circle with an exclamation mark inside, enclosed in parentheses, with the entire icon displayed in red. When the brake system warning light illuminates, it indicates an issue with the braking system, which could be due to low brake fluid level, brake pads exceeding wear limits, or damaged sensors. Whenever the brake system warning light comes on, you must stop and inspect the vehicle immediately regardless of the situation. The importance of the braking system is unquestionable - any braking issues must be addressed immediately. First, find a safe place to park, then check if the vehicle's brake fluid level is sufficient. If the brake fluid level is below the MIN mark, you may call for roadside assistance to bring additional brake fluid to see if it resolves the issue.
