Yes, but it is not recommended to store them this way to avoid affecting the performance of the fire extinguisher, which may hinder its effectiveness during use. Here is relevant information: 1. Types of Car Fire Extinguishers: Currently, the main types of car fire extinguishers on the market include dry powder fire extinguishers, ultra-fine dry powder fire extinguishers, carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, and water-based fire extinguishers. However, dry powder fire extinguishers are the most commonly used. These extinguishers use carbon dioxide liquid or nitrogen to spray dry powder for fire suppression. 2. Pressure Gauge: Car fire extinguishers are equipped with a pressure gauge. If the needle points to the green range, it indicates normal pressure and proper functioning. If it points to the yellow range, it means the pressure is too high, and if it points to the red range, it means the pressure is too low. Both conditions can affect the extinguishing performance, and the extinguisher should be replaced promptly.

What does the auto parts to whole vehicle price ratio mean?

The parts to whole vehicle price ratio refers to the ratio between the total price of all individual parts and the sales price of the complete vehicle. The released parts-to-whole ratio coefficient for these models represents the ratio between the total price of specific model's parts and its complete vehicle sales price. There are significant differences in maintenance costs between different car brands and models: Especially within the same price range, the prices for identical parts or components with the same function vary dramatically across different models. The price of parts directly determines the maintenance costs. Higher parts-to-whole ratio coefficient means higher maintenance costs later: Even for new cars at the same price point, if consumers purchase models with higher parts-to-whole ratio coefficients, it means they may need to pay relatively higher maintenance costs during subsequent usage.

Is it mandatory to carry a driver's license while driving?

You must carry your driver's license with you or keep it in the car while driving; otherwise, you are not allowed to drive. The dangers of unlicensed driving are as follows: Disrupting traffic order: Unlicensed drivers generally lack traffic safety knowledge and often engage in behaviors such as speeding, running red lights, and reckless lane changes, affecting the normal driving of others. Threatening the safety of others' lives and property: Unlicensed driving not only endangers the driver but also poses a serious threat to others' lives and property. Many traffic accidents are caused by unlicensed driving. Damaging social morals: Unlicensed driving is not only a disregard for the law but also ignores traffic rules, weakening everyone's safety awareness and, to some extent, encouraging unlicensed driving behavior.

How many days does it take to check for a red light running violation?

After running a red light, it usually takes 3 to 7 days to check for the violation, with the latest not exceeding 13 working days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture notifications," where you can receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But the notification does not equate to a violation; it serves only as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it is a violation still takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive an immediate violation notification via SMS. There is a delay, and the length of this delay may vary. After the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center. It is then compiled and handed over to the relevant traffic police staff for verification. If confirmed as a violation, the system will automatically query the corresponding vehicle owner's mobile phone number based on the license plate information and then send the violation details via SMS to the owner. After receiving the violation SMS, the vehicle owner must go to the traffic police department where the violation occurred within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection to handle the matter. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects they have committed a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received after 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Methods for traffic violation inquiries: Traffic violation inquiries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management through online platforms or query terminals. Methods for checking vehicle violations include website queries, phone inquiries, SMS inquiries, and mobile app inquiries. Website inquiry: You can search for "vehicle violation inquiry" and enter your vehicle information to check. Phone inquiry: To inquire about violations, you can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for confirmation. Violations can only be handled at the location where the violation occurred or at the traffic police department where the vehicle's license plate was issued. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by traffic police, they must be handled at the location of the violation. SMS inquiry: Open the SMS interface on your phone; enter the license plate number of the violating vehicle in the message content; enter 1062650001 as the recipient and click send. Mobile app inquiry: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, select "violation inquiry," and find and clear any unprocessed violations.
