Position (width) lights are not low beams. The position lights on a car refer to the front and rear position lights on the body of the vehicle. Position lights, as the name suggests, 'position' means warning; 'width' refers to the outline, so position lights are a type of warning light used to alert other vehicles. They are installed on the edges of the car's roof, indicating both the height and width of the vehicle. Position lights are usually turned on under the following conditions: 1. At night. According to traffic laws, position lights and rear position lights must be turned on simultaneously during night driving. 2. In foggy conditions. They primarily serve to warn other vehicles. 3. During rainy weather or when visibility is poor.

How often are private cars inspected in 2021?

Here is an introduction to private car inspections in 2021: Small cars: Small cars that are within 6 years of age can be exempt from inspection twice (inspection labels need to be applied for every two years, but no on-site vehicle inspection is required).

How Often Should Vehicles Be Inspected in 2021?

In 2021, the frequency of vehicle inspections varies depending on the type of vehicle. The inspection intervals can be categorized as follows: passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected once a year if they are within 5 years of service, and every 6 months if they exceed 5 years. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year if they are within 10 years of service, and every 6 months if they exceed 10 years. Motorcycles must be inspected every 2 years if they are within 4 years of service, and once a year if they exceed 4 years. Inspection procedure: First, after submitting the inspection application, the vehicle undergoes an on-site inspection. The vehicle is driven into the automatic inspection area to sequentially check whether the exhaust emissions, speed, lights, side slip, and chassis meet the standards. All items must pass to proceed. Next is the appearance inspection, verifying the accuracy of the vehicle's license plate, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number. Then, the exterior of the vehicle is examined, including details such as the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, paint, engine operation status, and the interior of passenger vehicles and wheels. Finally, the owner can obtain the inspection report and application form from the inspector. If all inspection items pass, the owner can proceed to pay the inspection fee and collect the vehicle registration certificate and compliance label. If any items fail, the owner must repair the vehicle and participate in a re-inspection until all items pass before proceeding with the visa formalities.

What is considered an excellent braking distance from 100 to 0 km/h?

The standard braking distance from 100 km/h refers to the distance a car traveling at 100 km/h needs to come to a complete stop. Taking current small and compact cars as an example, an ideal braking distance from 100 km/h is approximately 36-40 meters. If the distance is shorter than this range, the car can be considered excellent in terms of braking performance. Introduction to safe braking distance from 100 km/h is as follows: Introduction one: According to the principles of safe driving, the safe braking distance should be one-thousandth of the vehicle speed. For example, at a speed of 100 km/h, the braking distance should be maintained at over 100 meters. Introduction two: Although the braking distance from 100 km/h is around 36-40 meters, when driving at 100 km/h, it takes time for the driver to react in case of an emergency. This reaction time is approximately 0.5-1 second. In just 1 second, a car traveling at 100 km/h can cover 27.7 meters. Therefore, the safe braking distance from 100 km/h should be maintained at over 100 meters.
