Will Driving Behind Large Vehicles Damage the Paint?
1 Answers
Driving behind large vehicles can indeed damage the paint. Here are specific details about driving: 1. Definition: Driving refers to operating a vehicle, and the foundation of safe driving lies in skill and experience. To better observe traffic signs, pay attention to roadside and overhead indicators while driving, maintaining a far and high field of vision. Understand the meaning of traffic signs before proceeding. 2. Fuel Consumption: During prolonged traffic jams, it is advisable to turn off the engine if the wait exceeds 30 seconds. It is estimated that idling consumes 5g of fuel per minute, especially in stop-and-go traffic, which is the most fuel-intensive. Driving in low gear for extended periods requires seamless coordination between the engine, accelerator, and gear to achieve optimal fuel efficiency and performance. Using a gear that is either "too high" or "too low" will result in "lugging" the engine and wasting fuel. Therefore, avoid driving in low gear whenever possible. If conditions permit, use higher gears and maintain a moderate speed for the best fuel economy. Frequent starts and stops: Experts estimate that each engine start causes wear equivalent to driving 50km, and each emergency brake wastes enough fuel to travel 2km while causing tire wear equivalent to driving 80km. Thus, avoid frequent starting, stopping, and braking.
