After driving for many years, I’ve gradually realized how much cars have changed compared to the past. Speed limits in cities and long-term low-speed driving have a significant impact on vehicles, and the crowded environment has also led us to develop some bad driving habits.5.1I went on a trip and would like to share the joy of both traveling and taking care of my beloved car.

Our car has been driven mostly at low speeds, with the speed only reaching30%of its maximum velocity.8Just like we humans who live in a constantly suppressed urban environment, so does the engine. It needs high-speed runs to relax, and regular high-speed driving is one of the effective ways to maintain your vehicle. Additionally, long-term city driving can easily lead to bad driving habits. Many drivers may have long forgotten the “traffic rules” and proper techniques. In the city, how often do you get the chance to make aSU-turn or

turn? But these are actually the most thrilling parts when we first learn to drive. In fact, you can rediscover the joy of driving on mountain roads. Driving is not just about getting from one place to another – the unity of man and machine is a realm, a joy, and a guarantee of safe driving.5.1Recommendation: I’m from Shiyan.120(When going to Wulong River, drive at high speed80with a speed limit of). You just need to slow down a bit at the two service areas – there are no cameras elsewhere. Of course, this is a mountainous highway, so don’t drive too fast for safety reasons.40.18KMAfter a18KM-minute drive, you’ll feel that the car performs differently. Once you exit the highway and reach the lower reaches of the Wulong River scenic area, there’s a road40-80where the surface is excellent. The Yunxi government has really done a great job – apparently, it’s said to be the best scenic road in Shiyan and even the surrounding areas. I strongly recommend the section from the lower to the upper reaches, which is30long. The road is wide, the asphalt is new, traffic is light, and there are many curves. You can drive at speeds up to

. This is what I call the joy of driving. (But beginners should still drive slowly – 5.1at a moderate pace is absolutely safe. Just remember not to occupy the lane while turning and honk in advance. Many drivers haven’t used their horns in ages. Out here in the countryside, they go wild with the horn, relax their mood, and might even scare out a wild rabbit or something!)ABut hey, try to avoid statutory holidays.
