Generally, regular cars cannot climb a 45-degree slope. Here are the details: 1. Regular cars: The maximum climbing gradient for ordinary sedans is around 32%. Some four-wheel-drive models can handle steeper slopes, but due to geometric limitations of the vehicle body, they rarely exceed 40%. Therefore, most cars cannot climb a 45-degree slope. 2. Two-wheel-drive urban SUVs: Two-wheel-drive urban SUVs have poorer climbing ability than sedans. 3. Four-wheel-drive urban SUVs: Four-wheel-drive urban SUVs perform better in climbing, with some capable of reaching 40%. For example, the Nissan X-Trail can achieve a maximum climbing gradient of 46.6%, which is better than most urban SUVs. 4. Off-road vehicles: Off-road vehicles have strong climbing abilities, with some capable of climbing slopes close to 100%. Models like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Volkswagen Touareg, and Land Rover Defender can climb slopes close to 100%.

Why do some driving schools have slow exam scheduling?

Here is the relevant introduction to why some driving schools have slow exam scheduling: 1. High demand, limited test centers: In the past, when cars were not as popular as they are now, there were fewer drivers and fewer people taking driving tests. Scheduling an exam could be done quickly. However, things are different now. Due to the large number of test-takers and the limited number of test centers, plus each test center has a fixed number of routes, everyone has to wait in line based on the order of their application. 2. Exam scheduling slots are not first-come, first-served: When scheduling an exam, some students mistakenly believe that applying early will easily secure a spot. In reality, everyone on the scheduling list is ranked together. If a student is taking the exam for the first time, their ranking starts from the day they passed the subject one exam. If a student is retaking the exam, their ranking starts from the day they failed the previous exam. 3. Priority scheduling for those with short validity periods: If a student's driving learning certificate has less than 6 months of validity, they have priority scheduling rights within the validity period. Each subject can be prioritized once for scheduling. For the first exam scheduling, the initial application date is used as the ranking criterion. For non-first-time scheduling, the date of the last exam is used as the ranking criterion.

Can a car with stickers pass the annual inspection?

Here is the relevant introduction about passing the annual inspection with car stickers: 1. Requirements for area and position: During the annual vehicle inspection, there are requirements for the area and position of the stickers. The area of the stickers must not exceed 1/3 of the total vehicle area, and stickers are not allowed on the front and rear windshields and rearview mirrors. In addition, special vehicles such as large buses, hazardous materials transport vehicles, school buses, and engineering vehicles are not allowed to have any stickers. Otherwise, the annual inspection will not pass. 2. Requirements for content: In terms of content, the stickers must not contain reactionary or pornographic content. At the same time, advertisements are not allowed on the front and rear windshields, front engine hood, and trunk lid, and the main color of the car cannot be changed.

What Are the Types of Automotive Suspension Systems?

Here is an introduction to the types of automotive suspension systems: 1. Non-independent suspension system: The structural feature of a non-independent suspension system is that both wheels are connected by an integral frame, and the wheels, along with the axle, are suspended under the frame or body via an elastic suspension system. Non-independent suspension systems offer advantages such as simple structure, low cost, high strength, easy maintenance, and minimal changes in front-wheel alignment during driving. 2. Independent suspension system: In an independent suspension system, each wheel is individually suspended under the frame or body via an elastic suspension system. Its advantages include: lightweight, reducing the impact on the body, and improving the ground adhesion of the wheels; the use of softer springs with lower stiffness enhances ride comfort; and it allows for lowering the engine position. (1) MacPherson suspension system: The MacPherson suspension system also involves wheels sliding along the kingpin, but it differs from the candle suspension system in that the kingpin can swing. The MacPherson suspension system is a combination of the swing-arm and candle suspension systems. (2) Transverse arm suspension system: The transverse arm suspension system refers to an independent suspension system where the wheels swing within the transverse plane of the vehicle. It is further divided into double-wishbone and single-wishbone suspension systems based on the number of transverse arms. (3) Multi-link suspension system: The multi-link suspension system consists of (3–5) rods combined to control the positional changes of the wheels. It allows the wheels to swing around an axis at a certain angle to the vehicle's longitudinal axis, serving as a compromise between transverse and longitudinal arm suspension systems. (4) Leaf spring non-independent suspension system: Leaf springs are used as the elastic elements in non-independent suspensions. Since they also function as guiding mechanisms, the suspension system is greatly simplified. This type of suspension is widely used in the front and rear suspensions of trucks. (5) Active suspension system: The active suspension system is a new type of suspension system developed in recent decades and controlled by a computer. It integrates knowledge from mechanics and electronics and is a relatively complex high-tech device.
