This vehicle's factory design is for four seats, but it can accommodate five people, which would constitute overloading. Below is relevant information about the BMW Mini: 1. Overview: The BMW Mini (MINI, BMW-MINI) is a British microcar brand, now under the BMW Group. The Mini originally stemmed from the specific model known as the "Morris Mini-Minor," introduced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) in 1959, later evolving into a brand with multiple small car models. The initial two-door Mini model continued production until it was discontinued in 2000. 2. Creation Reason: In 1956, Europe faced extreme gasoline shortages, prompting the British government to enforce strict fuel rationing. BMC began developing a highly fuel-efficient small car. Engineer Alec Issigonis took on this project. On a napkin at a Cannes beach hotel, Issigonis sketched the first design of the MINI.

What are the principles for emergency avoidance on highways?

When encountering emergencies on highways, the principle of 'avoid people first, then objects' should be adhered to. Emergency avoidance measures should not exceed necessary limits to avoid causing undue harm. Here is supplementary information: 1. When a breakdown requires inspection: Park in the emergency lane, do not attempt repairs on the driving lane. If the vehicle cannot temporarily leave the emergency lane or shoulder due to a breakdown, the driver and passengers should exit the vehicle and wait in a safe area outside the roadside guardrail. 2. In case of accidental collision with a guardrail: Steady the steering wheel, quickly turn towards the side of the collision to force the vehicle to slow down and stop. 3. When encountering abnormal situations or accidents: Turn on the hazard warning lights, evacuate people, correctly place hazard warning signs, and minimize losses as much as possible. Never cause secondary accidents or greater losses due to emergency avoidance. 4. Preventing and dealing with 'hydroplaning': When driving a motor vehicle on a highway in rainy conditions, if 'hydroplaning' occurs, gently lift the accelerator pedal to slow down, and do not use emergency braking to decelerate.

How to Properly Tie a Tow Hook Knot?

Tying a tow hook knot is as follows: Using a rope to tie a knot is basically a daily life skill requirement. However, when it comes to tow ropes, the knot must be secure; otherwise, it is prone to slipping during the towing process. Double Overhand Knot: First, loop the rope around the object twice; then pass the rope end through the second loop and pull it tight; finally, just tie a half knot. Half Knot Method: First, cross the rope end with the rope, then pull the passed rope end tight. Reverse Figure-Eight Knot: First, tie a figure-eight knot in the middle of the rope, cross the rope end first, then loop the rope end around the main rope, pass it through the rope loop, and pull it tight. Next, pass the rope end through the end of the rope in the opposite direction along the knot. Then pass the rope end through the first knot and loop it back under the knot. During the looping back process, the rope end needs to pass through the lower rope loop. Finally, adjust and pull it tight. Figure-Eight Knot Method: First, cross the rope end, then loop the rope end around the main rope, and finally pass the rope end through the rope loop and pull it tight to complete the task.

How to Deal with Rust on Dry Dual Clutch?

If the rust on the dry dual clutch is not severe, it can be treated with rust remover. If the situation is serious, replacement is the only option. Below are the specific details about the dry dual-clutch transmission in cars: 1. Working Principle: It operates by alternating between two clutches. The difference between dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions lies in the medium connecting the driving and driven plates. Wet dual-clutch transmissions primarily rely on oil, while dry dual-clutch transmissions mainly depend on air. 2. Basic Structure: The friction plates of a dry dual clutch do not have sealed oil grooves and require air cooling for heat dissipation. 3. Advantages and Disadvantages: The advantage of a dry dual clutch is its fast gear shifting speed, while the disadvantage is its relatively low torque capacity.

Will Running a Red Light at 10 PM Be Captured by Cameras?

If there are cameras, they will capture the violation. Whether it's running a red light while turning left or going straight, both are illegal acts. According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," vehicles must obey traffic signals, including traffic lights, traffic signs, road markings, and the directions of traffic police. If both the left-turn light and the straight light are green, going straight from the left-turn lane violates the designated lane rules. When the left-turn light is red, it will be penalized as running a red light. Here are some ways to avoid running a red light: Check the arrow light first, then the circular light: Currently, there are two types of traffic lights: arrow traffic lights and circular traffic lights. If there is an arrow light, check it first before looking at the circular light to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, you can turn right; but if the right-turn arrow is red, turning right is prohibited, or it will be penalized as running a red light. Brake in time: When the red light turns on, do not let the front of the vehicle cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross, and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will capture it, and it will be penalized as running a red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the light turns red, do not proceed through the intersection; wait for the green light. Check the green light countdown before proceeding: When the green light flashes, if there is a countdown, judge accordingly; if there is no countdown, and the vehicle is close to the intersection with high speed, you may proceed to avoid running a red light due to untimely braking. If the speed is slow and the vehicle is far from the intersection, brake immediately to stop and avoid running a red light. Article 38 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without non-motorized vehicle or pedestrian signals, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians must follow the motor vehicle signal. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not illegal under the following circumstances: Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles. If caught on camera while yielding, manual review will not record the red-light violation. Even if recorded, you can apply for reconsideration at the traffic police department. Extreme weather: When visibility is so low that even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights. Blurry evidence photos may result in no penalty for mistakenly running a red light. Emergency situations: Transporting a critically ill patient to the hospital may involve running multiple red lights, quickly exhausting the 12-point penalty limit. After delivering the patient, provide hospital or patient proof to the traffic police for verification, and the violations may be cleared. If possible, calling an ambulance is safer to avoid accidents from running red lights. Traffic police direction: During rush hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at key intersections. Drivers must follow their hand signals. The traffic police department states that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," when the yellow light flashes at an intersection, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. If the yellow light is already on and you rush through, it will still be considered running a red light if captured.
