Car air conditioning filters can block viruses, but this depends on the filtration efficiency of the filter. Here are the specific functions of car air conditioning filters: 1. Air filtration: Ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. Particle separation: Filters out solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. 3. Moisture adsorption: Absorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, and other substances from the air, providing strong and long-lasting moisture absorption. 4. Driving safety: Prevents condensation on car windows, ensuring clear visibility for drivers, supplies fresh air to the cabin, protects occupants from inhaling harmful gases, and effectively sterilizes and deodorizes.

Regarding whether car air conditioning filters can filter viruses, I can share my perspective. They are designed to block dust and pollen, helping to keep the air inside the car cleaner and reducing sneezing or allergies. However, when it comes to viruses, these particles are extremely small, typically around 0.1 microns, while ordinary filter pores may be as large as 5 microns or more, making it impossible to capture virus particles. Some high-end filters on the market, such as HEPA-grade ones, claim to filter particles as small as 0.3 microns. If the efficiency is high, they may include some viruses, but the actual effectiveness depends on the specific brand and testing certification. Additionally, the car's air conditioning system is not airtight—opening doors or windows can also introduce outside air. Therefore, I recommend not relying solely on it to prevent virus transmission. While driving, slightly opening the windows for ventilation or using the recirculation mode can better dilute the air, and combining this with disinfectant wipes to clean the steering wheel provides more comprehensive protection. Regularly replacing the filter can also prevent it from accumulating dirt and becoming a source of problems. Generally, replacing it every 5,000 kilometers or every six months is a good practice.

What to Do If There Is Paint on the Car Surface?

Solutions for paint on the car surface include: 1. Banana Oil: Commonly known as thinner, dip a towel in banana oil and gently wipe the paint spots to dilute the paint. Finally, rinse with clean water. However, banana oil is toxic, volatile, and somewhat corrosive, which may damage the car paint, so caution is needed when using it. 2. Gasoline: Gasoline can dissolve paint effectively with minimal corrosion. The steps are the same as with banana oil. 3. Alcohol: Industrial alcohol can be used to remove paint. Use a soft cotton cloth dipped in alcohol and gently wipe the paint away.

Does the motorcycle compulsory traffic insurance have to be purchased by the owner in person?

Compulsory traffic insurance does not necessarily have to be handled by the owner in person; it can also be handled by the user of the motor vehicle. To apply for compulsory traffic insurance, you need to bring: the vehicle's registration certificate and driving license, the insured's ID card, and for renewal, the original copy of the previous year's compulsory traffic insurance. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory by the state, and only with it can you legally drive on the road. Otherwise, according to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the traffic management department of the public security authorities shall detain the motor vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license, mark, or complete the relevant procedures, and may issue a warning or impose a fine of not less than 20 yuan but not more than 200 yuan. Automobile compulsory traffic insurance: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates within the liability limit for personal injury, death, and property loss caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured motor vehicle (excluding vehicle personnel and the insured). The premium is based on the nationally unified standard rates. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies for different vehicle types, mainly influenced by the number of car seats. Compared to the more than 20 exemption clauses of commercial third-party insurance, the exemption scope of compulsory traffic insurance covers losses caused by intentional acts of the victim, the insured's own property loss, related arbitration and litigation costs, and some indirect losses caused by accidents, with a much broader coverage. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in the accident, compulsory traffic insurance will compensate within the liability limit, with no deductible or exemption.

Can the Door Be Locked If It's Not Properly Closed?

If the car door is not properly closed, it cannot be locked. When the door is not fully closed, the car's dashboard will display a warning. If the car is powered on, the dashboard will indicate which door is not properly closed. If the car is turned off and the door is not properly closed, using the key to lock the car will not work because the vehicle's computer does not receive the lock signal. Depending on the car model, the locking behavior may vary—some models will still complete the locking action, but if the door is open, it effectively remains unlocked. Some models do not emit a beep or flash the lock indicator light if the door is not properly closed. Additionally, certain models feature a keyless entry system where the door locks automatically unlock when the key is near the car, disabling the anti-theft mode. When the key moves away from the car beyond a certain distance, the doors automatically lock and the anti-theft mode is activated.

How to Judge the Left and Right Distance While Driving

Driving left and right distance can be judged by the distance between the wheels and the lane markings on the road. If the position of the wheels is about to touch the markings on the ground, it indicates that the car is relatively close. During driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the distance between the vehicles on both sides to avoid scraping. The specific methods for judging the left and right distance while driving are: 1. Judgment of the left position: When the line of sight coincides with the protruding node of the left wiper and an object on the ground, the left wheel will run over the object when moving. When driving normally, it is relatively safe to be 60 cm away from the center line. When the line of sight coincides with the intersection of the cotton panel and the A-pillar and the center line, the body is exactly 60 cm away from the center line; 2. Judgment of the right position: When the line of sight coincides with the right wiper and the target, the tire will run over the target.
