Tire blowouts without external force impact are not covered by insurance companies. Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Wear: Tires have wear indicators. There are triangular marks on the sidewall of the tire; when worn to the point indicated by the triangle mark, replacement is recommended. Inside the tire tread grooves, there are also raised markers; when worn down to the level of these raised markers, the tire should be replaced. Simple punctures can be repaired without needing replacement. However, bulging tires must be replaced. 2. Aging: Rubber oxidizes in the air, and oxidized rubber hardens, reducing grip. Therefore, even if a set of tires is not used, its lifespan will decrease. It is not recommended to use tires for more than 5 years from the production date. The production date can be found on the sidewall of the tire.

What aspects should be paid attention to for safe driving?

Below are five key elements for safe driving: 1. Clear observation: Timely, comprehensive, and careful observation of road conditions. 2. Correct and swift judgment: Active and serious thinking and judgment of observed road conditions. 3. Continuous prevention: Prevention is a powerful safety procedure; inadequate preventive measures while driving reveal weak safety indicators. 4. Obey traffic rules. 5. Maintain a speed that ensures safety. Below are several factors affecting driving safety: 1. Weather factors: Adverse weather conditions such as strong winds, rain, heavy fog, intense heat, snow, and ice often severely reduce vehicle performance and obscure the vision of drivers and pedestrians, thereby affecting driving safety. 2. Road factors: Poor road design, overly narrow roads affecting the safety of meeting and overtaking; substandard road construction quality, inadequate road surface strength, smoothness, and anti-skid performance, and high trees at intersections obstructing vision. 3. Pedestrian factors: Slow movements of elderly people, children panicking when encountering vehicles, and mentally ill patients suddenly running toward the car can easily impact driving safety. 4. Vehicle factors: The sensitivity and effectiveness of vehicle braking performance are crucial for safe driving. The performance of the steering system, wheels, lights, horn, instruments, wipers, and other parts also affects the normal operation of the vehicle.

How many driver's licenses can be used to deduct points for one vehicle?

A vehicle can use a maximum of 3 driver's licenses for point deduction. Relevant information about binding multiple vehicles is as follows: 1. Binding channels: Drivers can handle electronic monitoring violations of non-personally owned vehicles online through self-service terminals like Yizhantong, WeChat, Alipay, postal outlets, etc. There are two ways to bind: download the "Traffic Management 12123" mobile app, register and bind with real-name authentication on the phone, or visit the traffic brigade vehicle management team window for face-to-face signing and on-site binding. 2. Binding restrictions: When binding through the "Traffic Management 12123" mobile app, only one non-personally owned vehicle can be bound. For on-site binding at traffic brigade vehicle management team windows, up to 3 non-personally owned vehicles can be bound. 3. Binding application: To bind multiple vehicles, you still need to apply at traffic management service windows. Bring your own ID card and original driver's license, as well as the vehicle owner's ID card and original vehicle registration certificate, to traffic police branches, brigades, or other public security traffic management service windows, or use the "Traffic Management 12123" app for face-to-face signing and binding.

When Did the 6-Year Exemption for Motorcycle Inspections Start?

Starting from June 1, 2019, motorcycles nationwide are subject to a 6-year exemption from inspections. Inspection content includes: 1. Emission testing: Emission testing is a mandatory requirement for all motor vehicles. Before testing, staff will verify if the motorcycle's serial number matches the one on the vehicle license and briefly inspect the overall appearance of the vehicle before conducting the emission test. Motorcycles generally have a high pass rate for emission standards unless they are poorly maintained. 2. Violation check: Motorcycle owners who need to undergo annual inspections must address any traffic violations associated with their vehicles in advance. Ensure there are no outstanding violations; otherwise, the annual inspection cannot be passed. 3. Appearance inspection: The appearance inspection focuses on checking for any damage to the vehicle's exterior, consistency with the original factory appearance, and any obvious modifications.

Why Do Cars Need Maintenance?

Car maintenance aims to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. Below are the maintenance items: 1. Air Filter: During operation, the engine inhales a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, the dust in it will accelerate the wear of the piston group and cylinders. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can also cause severe "cylinder scoring." The function of the air filter is to remove dust and particles from the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinders. 2. Fuel Filter: The fuel filter provides the engine with clean fuel by filtering out water and impurities from the gasoline. This optimizes engine performance and offers the best protection for the engine.

Why Overtake on the Left Side?

Traffic regulations stipulate that vehicles should keep to the right. Overtaking from the right side can easily lead to collisions with adjacent vehicles. Additionally, the driver's seat is positioned on the left, providing a broader field of vision, making left-side overtaking safer. Moreover, left-side overtaking aligns with common driving habits. Below are additional details: 1. Reasons why right-side overtaking is dangerous: Primarily due to blind spots in left-hand drive vehicles. For left-hand drive cars, the blind spot on the right side of the driver is larger, significantly limiting visibility. Drivers may easily overlook vehicles in this position. If the vehicle being overtaken fails to promptly notice the violating vehicle on the right and changes lanes to the right, it can result in a collision with the "right-side overtaking" vehicle. Right-side overtaking is explicitly prohibited by traffic laws. In the event of a traffic accident, traffic police will investigate whether "right-side overtaking" occurred. If confirmed, corresponding penalties will be imposed. 2. Overtaking precautions: (1) Stay alert. Before overtaking, always observe the condition of the intended lane and the driving status of the vehicle ahead of the one you plan to overtake. (2) Downshift to accelerate. To enhance throttle response and increase torque for quicker acceleration. For automatic transmission models, quickly press the accelerator pedal to the floor. For manual transmissions, first downshift, then rapidly press the accelerator to accelerate. (3) Be flexible. Avoid consecutive lane changes during overtaking. After completing a lane change, accelerate in a straight line, observe the rear to ensure safety, and then return to the original lane. (4) Proceed with caution when encountering stationary vehicles. When overtaking a stationary vehicle ahead, especially on narrow roads, do so slowly and be prepared to stop at any time to prevent sudden door openings by the stationary vehicle, which could lead to collisions.
