New cars do not require fuel additives; since the effects of fuel additives are relatively limited, and the fuel at domestic gas stations already contains fuel additive components, coupled with the fact that new car engines have short service lives and good working conditions, they basically do not produce carbon deposits. Therefore, there is no need to add fuel additives to a new car. Additional information: 1. The role of fuel additives: Fuel additives, also known as fuel enhancers, primarily function to clean carbon deposits, which has always been their main selling point. Additionally, they help maintain the engine and fuel system. Some special-purpose fuel additives can also improve the anti-knock properties of fuel. 2. Composition of fuel additives: Fuel additives are mainly composed of more than ten components, including nano-molecules, cleaning active factors, antioxidants, anti-corrosion agents, and demulsifiers. They are designed to target harmful components in fuel such as sulfur, gum substances, and engine carbon deposits, thereby achieving effects like enhancing power, promoting combustion, anti-oxidation, anti-wear, cleaning, dispersion, demulsification, anti-corrosion, and lubrication.

Can I take a photo of the vehicle license for others?

It is not safe to take a photo of the vehicle license for others, so you should not casually share photos of your vehicle license with others.

What types of insurance are generally purchased for vehicles?

Vehicles must purchase compulsory traffic insurance, which is mandatory by national regulations. If not purchased, drivers will be fined if caught by traffic police. This insurance provides limited compensation, mainly covering others and not the policyholder's own vehicle. Other types of insurance can be optionally purchased based on the owner's decision. The following types are generally recommended: Third-party liability insurance: In accidents causing injuries, deaths, or direct property damage to individuals other than the driver and passengers, the insurance company will provide compensation as stipulated. If the other party is fully at fault, the insurer may offer full compensation; if the policyholder is fully at fault, the insurer has a 20% deductible. Vehicle damage insurance: This insurance compensates the policyholder's own losses, helping to reduce personal financial burden. No-deductible insurance: This is an additional insurance type. In many accident compensations, insurance companies apply a 5-20% deductible rate. Purchasing no-deductible insurance avoids these deductibles, allowing for full compensation.

Why was Subject 4 automatically cancelled?

Subject 4 was automatically cancelled because after passing the Subject 3 road test, the system automatically scheduled the Subject 4 exam for the same day. Therefore, when candidates try to make an appointment, the system will display "duplicate appointment" and automatically cancel it. Introduction to Subject 4: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of "Order No. 139 of the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China", the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: in addition to the road test, a safety and civilization knowledge test was added, commonly known as "Subject 4", which assesses "driving ethics".

Must traffic violations captured by high-definition cameras be handled by the offender in person?

Traffic violations captured by high-definition cameras must be handled by the offender in person, just like tickets issued by traffic police on-site. Only the offender's driver's license can be used to process the violation, and it is not allowed to use someone else's driver's license to handle it on their behalf. More details about violation handling are as follows: If someone else's driver's license is used to handle the violation, that license must be bound to the vehicle. Each motor vehicle can only use up to three driver's licenses for deducting points, and each driver's license can only handle violation records for up to three motor vehicles. Otherwise, if the traffic police department discovers that someone else's license was used to handle the violation or any other irregularities, they will refuse to process it, and severe cases may result in corresponding penalties.

Do You Need to Turn on AC for Window Defogging?

Window defogging requires turning on the AC. The appearance of fog indicates that the air inside the car is very humid. Using humid air continuously for defogging is ineffective. Reducing air humidity makes it less likely for fog to form, hence turning on the AC for defogging yields the best results. Defogging does require turning on the AC, but no manual operation is needed. As long as the defogging switch is activated or the air direction is set to the windshield mode, the AC switch will automatically turn on, and the circulation mode will switch to external circulation. Turning on the AC and external circulation ensures the fastest and most effective defogging. Some cars allow manual deactivation of the AC, while others do not. If the AC is turned off in defogging mode, defogging can still occur, but sometimes the effect may be worse, with fog persisting for a long time or even worsening. Turning on the AC is not about using cold air to blow away the fog but rather utilizing the dehumidifying function of the air conditioning system. The AC switch controls the air conditioning compressor. Once turned on, a signal is sent to the compressor, which then starts working to cool under normal circumstances and stops when turned off. This compressor can only cool and cannot generate heat. Whenever it operates, it cools, meaning the AC is a cooling switch. Heating does not require turning on the AC, as the heat for warm air does not come from the compressor.
