How it's used
Focuses primarily on the movement of vehicles or the status of a road rather than the act of operating a car by a person. While it can mean to drive, it is more commonly used in formal or technical contexts like traffic regulations or road signs. Use 揸車 when talking about the personal act of driving a car.

Common mistake
Avoid using 行車 to describe the personal act of driving in casual conversation, as it sounds overly formal or like a traffic report. Use 揸車 instead for everyday situations.
