Installing fog lights can pass the annual inspection. Vehicles without fog lights usually have reserved positions for fog light installation from the factory, so adding fog lights is not considered an illegal modification (of course, if certain lights that affect other vehicles' driving are installed in the reserved fog light positions, it may not pass the inspection). However, to be on the safe side, you can consult the vehicle management office or apply for a modification of the vehicle's driving license and take a new photo after installing the fog lights. How to use fog lights: 1. When visibility is between 200m-500m, you must turn on the low beam, width lights, and taillights, and the speed should not exceed 80km/h. The distance between your car and the vehicle in front in the same lane should be kept at least 150m. 2. When visibility is between 100-200m, you must turn on the fog lights, low beam, width lights, and taillights, and the speed should not exceed 60km/h. The distance from the vehicle in front should be at least 100m. 3. When visibility is between 50-100m, you must turn on the fog lights, low beam, width lights, and taillights, and the speed should not exceed 40km/h. The distance from the vehicle in front should be at least 50m.

Why Should the Main Road Vehicles Go First Compared to the Service Road Vehicles?

Generally, the main road has more lanes and faster speed, so vehicles on the service road should yield to those on the main road. Roads with high traffic volume are designated as main roads, which serve as the trunk lines, while service roads are the branch lines. Branch line vehicles should yield to trunk line vehicles. The specifications for service roads are as follows: 1. In ground-level expressways, service roads should be set on one or both sides of the main road. For elevated roads, service roads should be set on the ground level beneath the elevated road. In urban areas, service roads should be continuously set. For expressway service roads located in suburban areas, they can be set continuously or intermittently. 2. For the cross-section layout of ground-level expressway service roads, physical barriers or marked lines should be used to separate motor vehicle lanes from non-motor vehicle lanes. When motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes are physically separated, the width of the motor vehicle lane should not be less than 7.5m. When motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes are separated by marked lines, the width of the service road should not be less than 8.5m.

Where to Go for Driver's License Annual Review?

Where to Go for Driver's License Annual Review? The local vehicle management office handles driver's license annual reviews. Within 90 days before the driver's license expires, bring your ID card (submit temporary residence permit if applied for in a temporary residence), driver's license, and three ID photos to the issuing vehicle management office to obtain the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form". After filling it out, go to the designated medical examination point for a physical check-up. Once you obtain the physical condition certificate, submit it along with the form to process the license renewal. For (Class A, B) licenses, submitting the physical condition certificate upon expiration does not require filling out the application form. Below are the required materials for driver's license annual review: 1. Original copy of the driver's license, ID card, and motor vehicle driver's physical condition certificate.

What are the commonly used transmission devices?

Classification of automotive transmission devices: According to different energy transfer methods, they can be divided into mechanical transmission, hydraulic transmission, hydrostatic transmission, and electric transmission. Based on structure and transmission medium, their types include mechanical, hydromechanical, hydrostatic (volumetric hydraulic), and electric. Below is a related introduction: 1. Definition of transmission devices: A transmission device (Transmission device) is an intermediate device that transfers the power from the power unit to the working mechanism. The basic function of the transmission system is to transmit the power generated by the engine to the driving wheels of the vehicle, generating driving force to enable the vehicle to travel at a certain speed. 2. Structure of transmission devices: The transmission device is an intermediate mechanism that transfers the motion and power from the prime mover to the working mechanism. Its composition and arrangement vary depending on the type of engine, installation position, and the intended use of the vehicle. 3. Function of transmission devices: The transmission system has functions such as deceleration, speed change, reversing, power interruption, inter-wheel differential, and inter-axle differential. Working in conjunction with the engine, it ensures normal vehicle operation under various working conditions, providing good power performance and fuel economy.

What is the capture distance for solid line lane changing violations?

The capture distance for solid line lane changing violations ranges from 15 to 30 meters. According to Article 90 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China', driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibited line markings will result in a deduction of 3 points. Changing lanes by crossing solid lines violates traffic marking instructions and is subject to a fine of 200 yuan and a deduction of 3 points. Situations involving solid line lane changing include: 1. Novice drivers: Many novice drivers realize they are on the wrong path only when they reach the solid line area. For example, needing to turn right at an intersection but being in the middle lane, they may have to change lanes at the solid line near the intersection, where they are easily caught by traffic cameras within a 100-meter range. 2. Traffic congestion: When encountering long queues in the current lane, some drivers choose to cross the solid line to switch to a less congested lane, which not only disrupts traffic flow but also increases the likelihood of being caught by traffic cameras. 3. Special circumstances: Such as when there is a traffic accident ahead, malfunctioning traffic signals, natural disasters affecting road conditions, or the presence of emergency vehicles requiring lane changes over solid lines. In these cases, the action is not considered a violation.

Where should the jack be placed when changing front tires?

When replacing front or rear tires, you can use stones or bricks to stabilize the vehicle's front axle and rear axle. Dig a pit under the tire to be removed so that the tire is suspended and can be replaced. When the vehicle is lifted by a jack, never start the engine, as the vibration of the engine or the rotation of the wheels may cause the vehicle to slip off the jack, creating a hazard. Below is an introduction to the classification of jacks: 1. Screw Jack: The screw jack has no self-locking function on its threads and is equipped with a brake. Releasing the brake allows the load to descend quickly, reducing return time, but this type of jack has a more complex structure. Screw jacks can support heavy loads for long periods, with a maximum lifting capacity of up to 100t, and are widely used. When equipped with a horizontal screw at the bottom, they can also move the load over small distances. 2. Hydraulic Jack: Used in hydraulic transmission systems as an intermediate medium, it plays a role in transferring and converting energy. It also lubricates, protects against corrosion, cools, and flushes components within the hydraulic system. 3. Electric Jack: The jack is equipped with a pressure-holding device to prevent overpressure. If overpressured, the jack cannot return to a certain position. A special structure provides dual protection for the jack. When equipped with a diving device, the jack can achieve high travel with a low height.
