If the vehicle's rated seating capacity is 5 people (including the driver) or more, it can accommodate them; otherwise, it cannot. Below is relevant information about the hazards of vehicle overloading: 1. Shortens the vehicle's service life: Automobiles are manufactured based on technical specifications, and load limits are no exception. Overloading alters the original design parameters, such as loosened rivets, detached fastening screws, broken weld points, and deformation of the entire frame. Overloading reduces the vehicle's lifespan and accelerates the aging of rubber and plastic components. 2. Accelerates tire wear and deformation: Vehicle tires are designed and produced based on the total weight of the car, with a considerable safety margin. However, when a vehicle is overloaded, the tires bear excessive weight and deform. Increased friction also leads to reduced tire life. Tests show that with a 20% overload, tire life decreases by 30%; with a 40% overload, tire life is halved. 3. Reduces braking performance and increases non-safety zone distance: Many factors affect a vehicle's braking distance, among which changes in vehicle load directly influence the braking distance. When a loaded vehicle brakes, the load shifts forward, increasing the load on the front wheels and decreasing it on the rear wheels.

Can a Car Move in Neutral Gear?

A car cannot move in neutral gear. Below is some related information: 1. Neutral Gear: It generally refers to the state where the gear lever of a motor vehicle is not engaged in any forward or reverse gear, completely separating the transmission from the drive wheels. For manual transmissions, the neutral gear is in the middle position, while for automatic transmissions, it is marked with an "N". 2. Coasting in Neutral: Coasting in neutral has long been considered a fuel-saving practice, especially among most truck drivers who often turn off the engine and coast in neutral to save fuel. However, for cars with fuel-injected engines, coasting in neutral should be used with caution, and turning off the engine while coasting in neutral is not advisable. The ultimate goal of coasting in neutral is to save fuel, as the engine generally consumes less fuel when idling than when running at medium to high speeds. However, most fuel-injected engine control systems have a deceleration fuel reduction or fuel cut-off function. For these engines, coasting in neutral is no longer necessary for fuel-saving purposes. In fact, coasting in neutral can be counterproductive, turning "fuel-saving" into "fuel-wasting".

Is it cheaper to buy a car when working at a 4S store?

4S store employees can definitely get discounts when buying cars themselves, but most 4S stores have regulations that require working for one or two years before enjoying internal prices. Here are the relevant details: 1. For certain models, employees can avoid at least the additional installation and markup fees when purchasing, as these can be waived internally by the company. 2. The purchased car can only be registered under the company's name and cannot be transferred to an individual's name until three years later, to prevent car dealers from reselling the vehicles. 3. On one hand, this can enhance employees' sense of happiness and gain, and on the other hand, it can also help manufacturers digest inventory and boost sales.

What to Do When Your Car is Blocked and You Can't Find the Owner?

Here are the solutions when your car is blocked and you can't find the owner: 1. If this happens in a residential area, you can directly contact the security guard or parking lot administrator of the community. They usually have the contact information of the car owner. This situation often occurs because the owner parked the car for convenience. 2. If your car is blocked in a permitted parking area and you can't move it out, which also affects traffic order, you can directly call 122. This is a traffic management platform, and under normal circumstances, they will directly contact the car owner. 3. If your car is blocked by another vehicle and you have an urgent need to use your car but can't reach the owner, call 114 and explain the situation. The 114 staff will contact the owner using the information they provided to the vehicle management office and notify them to move the car immediately.
