Are there alternative reference points when the car hood is not visible in an S-curve?

Yes, you can use the rearview mirrors. Here are the detailed explanations: Introduction: There are two methods for navigating curves: the hood-along-the-line method and the hood-facing-the-line method. Both are simple and reliable, with specific operational techniques and details. Mid-curve stopping: This usually occurs when the semi-engaged clutch control isn't properly maintained during the S-curve. When turning, increased vehicle resistance requires slightly more clutch release. Insufficient power due to slow speed may cause the vehicle to stall, which should be avoided during actual tests. Crossing the line: Line crossing may happen when entering the curve without maintaining adequate outer positioning, resulting in too sharp an angle. Other causes include misjudging reference points during navigation or turning the wheel back too early when exiting the curve, causing rear wheels to cross. Review the five steps mentioned above repeatedly if these situations occur.

How Often Should a 7-Seater Sedan Undergo Inspection?

Non-commercial mini and micro passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats within 6 years are included in the exemption from inspection. For non-commercial mini and micro passenger vehicles over 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection frequency is adjusted from once a year to once every two years. The following situations cannot be included in the exemption from inspection: 1. Vans. 2. Vehicles that have been illegally modified and penalized according to the law. 3. Vehicles involved in traffic accidents causing casualties. Additionally, vehicles that have not completed registration procedures for more than 4 years since the date of manufacture are not eligible for the 6-year exemption from inspection policy. 4. The scope of private car inspection exemptions has been expanded to include non-commercial mini and micro passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats (excluding vans) within 6 years. After 6 years, the inspection cycle for 7-seater vehicles is: over 6 years but less than 10 years, only requiring two on-site inspections, at the 6th and 8th years. Over 10 years, an annual inspection is required, and over 15 years, a semi-annual inspection is required.

What are Matrix Headlights?

Matrix headlights, also known as matrix-style headlights, are LED headlights arranged in a matrix formation. Essentially, they are LED headlights organized in a rectangular array layout. Compared to conventional LED headlights, matrix LED headlights can provide variable and precise illumination for the front area. They allow for precise control of each individual LED bulb, enabling accurate manipulation of the illuminated range. LED Headlights: To enhance the functionality of LED headlights, many automakers have further optimized the control of LED bulbs, developing more advanced matrix LED headlights. Currently, manufacturers like Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche have adopted intelligent LED headlights in their high-end models. For example, the recently launched Buick Regal is also equipped with Matrix LED headlights, each containing 37 LED bulbs. Matrix LED headlights are fundamentally different from conventional LED headlights. Headlight Bulbs: Matrix LED headlights feature 5 bulbs in the high beam section, whereas conventional LEDs have only 2. A unique feature of matrix headlights is their ability to turn off specific high beams based on distant light sources. Another difference lies in the turn signal flashing method—matrix headlights use dynamic patterns, while conventional LEDs flash like standard turn signals. However, the light penetration performance of LEDs still falls short of xenon headlights. They often appear bright but lack clarity, which is why ophthalmologists recommend not relying solely on LED lighting at home. Additionally, their focusing performance is significantly inferior. Currently, from a pure lighting efficacy perspective, xenon headlights remain the preferred choice.
