Tires widened from 195 to 205 can generally pass the annual inspection. This is because there is no national law prohibiting the installation of one-size-larger tires. However, the size of the wheel rims must not be altered and must match the original factory specifications. If the rim size is modified and discovered by traffic police, it may result in fines and mandatory restoration. The details are as follows: 1. Advantages of larger tires: Increased friction between the tires and the ground improves the vehicle's grip, making it more stable and comfortable. This also enhances handling, shortens braking distance, improves safety, and reduces the likelihood of skidding. 2. Disadvantages: The increased friction leads to higher fuel consumption and slower acceleration. Larger tires are also more expensive and produce more noticeable tire noise. In reality, modifying tires may result in failing the annual inspection. Therefore, it is advisable not to change them arbitrarily.

Which One is the Driver Side Airbag?

Driver side airbags are generally installed on the outer side of the seat, aiming to mitigate injuries caused by side impacts. Here is relevant information: 1. Many manufacturers' vehicle models are equipped with side airbags for both front seats. In the event of a collision, especially a side impact, they can reduce physical injuries such as fractures caused by direct hard contact between the arms and ribs of rear passengers near the door side and the door panel. 2. The passenger side airbag is located at the front of the passenger seat position, on the instrument panel above the glove compartment, marked with AIRBAG. The side airbag system is designed to protect occupants' safety during side collisions and vehicle rollovers. It is usually installed on the door. When the vehicle suffers a side collision, the door may be severely deformed, making it impossible to open and trapping occupants inside. The side airbag can effectively protect the driver and passengers from injuries to the waist, abdomen, outer chest, and arms caused by side impacts, ensuring the mobility and escape capability of the upper body.

What to Do When Car Window Glass Cannot Be Raised or Lowered?

Solutions for difficult car window glass operation: 1. When the window is hard to move, lower it completely and spray dashboard wax into the rubber seals on both sides of the glass. 2. After raising and lowering the window several times, if it still sticks or moves unevenly, lower the window completely again and spray more dashboard wax into the rubber seals. Repeat this process until the window moves smoothly without sticking, uneven movement, or noise. Use a car towel to wipe off any excess dashboard wax from the edges of the rubber seals. This method can also prevent aging of the rubber seals and avoid window operation issues caused by rubber deterioration. If this method doesn't work, you'll need to visit a repair shop.

What to Do When You Always Get Confused About the Direction While Reversing?

Here are the solutions for when you always get confused about the direction while reversing: When you need to reverse, first observe the rearview mirror. At this time, simply treat the rear of the car as the front of a normally moving car. Whether it's the left or right rearview mirror, if you see the left side is tilted in the mirror, it's equivalent to the front of the car tilting to the left. In this case, steer to the right. More details about reversing are as follows: 1. When reversing, if you see the rear of the car pointing toward the roadside or the edge of the parking space in the rearview mirror, you can treat the rear of the car in the mirror as the front of the car in reality. When adjusting the direction, turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction of the rear of the car in the mirror, and the rear of the car will gradually straighten out. Whether it's the left or right mirror, as long as you treat the rear of the car seen in the mirror the same as the front of the car in reality, there will be no confusion when steering. With a little practice, you will become proficient. 2. Since reversing into a parking space requires good visibility to assist in adjusting the steering wheel, setting the correct sitting posture becomes the first step in safe driving. The best position for the seat is when your elbows are slightly bent while holding the steering wheel at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, as this allows your arms sufficient range of motion to quickly operate the steering wheel. 3. If you consider the steering wheel as the face of a clock, the most reasonable way to hold it is with your left hand between 9 and 10 o'clock and your right hand between 3 and 4 o'clock, with your hands in a left-high, right-low position. If the steering wheel is affected by road bumps, causing the front wheels to be impacted and vibrate, leading to deviation, you should grip the steering wheel tightly to prevent it from violently rotating due to the vehicle's vibrations, which could injure your fingers or wrists.
