It is not allowed to make a right turn ahead when there is a dedicated right-turn lane; doing so is considered as not driving according to the marked lanes. Article 51 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that when motor vehicles pass through signal-controlled intersections with designated lanes, they must enter the designated lane according to the intended direction of travel. Generally, this violation results in a 2-point deduction and a fine of 200 yuan. Relevant information about traffic signs is as follows: 1. Introduction: Traffic signs are road facilities that use text or symbols to convey guidance, restrictions, warnings, or instructions. Also known as road signs or traffic road signs. 2. Importance: In traffic signs, the general principle is safety, with the goal of setting up eye-catching, clear, and bright traffic signs as an important measure for implementing traffic management and ensuring road traffic safety and smoothness.

How to Downshift from 5th Gear When Encountering a Red Light in a Manual Transmission?

Manual transmission encountering a red light in 5th gear downshifting method is: release the accelerator, then gently press the brake, wait for the speed to drop before pressing the clutch to downshift. When approaching the traffic light, press the clutch with your left foot and hold it, press the brake with your right foot, shift to neutral after stopping, and engage the handbrake. 5th gear in manual transmission is a high-speed gear. If you directly shift to 1st gear, it will cause significant damage to the clutch, and many parts inside the car will also suffer varying degrees of damage. The upshifting sequence for manual transmission is from 1st to 5th gear gradually. Skipping gears will damage the transmission. Downshifting is determined by the specific speed and does not require downshifting one gear at a time.

What Are the Situations Where One Bears Full Responsibility for a Car Accident?

In the event of a car accident, the division of responsibility can be categorized into full responsibility, primary responsibility, secondary responsibility, and equal responsibility—namely, full responsibility, primary responsibility, secondary responsibility, and equal responsibility. Equal responsibility means both parties share the same level of responsibility, a 50-50 split. Although the actual circumstances and severity of each traffic accident vary, and the division of responsibility is quite complex, there are sixteen situations where one bears full responsibility. Sixteen situations of full responsibility: Rear-end collision: When the rear vehicle hits the front vehicle in motion, the rear vehicle bears full responsibility. Accident caused by changing lanes. Accident caused by reversing or rolling back. Collision or scrape caused by entering the motor vehicle lane from outside the road or a non-motorized lane. At a green light or an uncontrolled intersection, the turning vehicle fails to yield to the straight-moving vehicle. The vehicle entering the roundabout fails to yield to the vehicle exiting or already circulating within the roundabout. Accident caused by crossing the solid center line or solid separation line of the road. Driving in the opposite direction. Accident caused by overtaking on the right. Accident caused while overtaking a vehicle making a normal U-turn, left turn, or overtaking. Accident caused by running a red light. Accident caused by making a U-turn in areas with no-U-turn signs or markings, such as crosswalks, bridges, steep slopes, or tunnels. Collision with a legally parked or temporarily stopped vehicle. Accident caused by opening or closing a car door. Accident caused while entering or exiting a parking lot or parking space with a normally moving vehicle. Single-vehicle accident.

Is it a problem if the car chassis is scratched?

Minor scratches and bumps on the car chassis are generally not a problem. Although oil pipes are relatively susceptible to scrapes, these pipes are hidden and protected in the grooves of the chassis steel plate, not protruding above the chassis level. Moreover, the oil pan is not easily damaged, so there is no need to worry too much. Methods to prevent chassis damage from scrapes: 1. Apply chassis armor: Car chassis armor can be sprayed on exposed areas such as the vehicle chassis, wheels, fuel tank, underbody panels, and luggage compartment. It quickly dries to form a strong elastic protective layer, which not only prevents impacts from flying stones and gravel but also avoids corrosion from moisture, acid rain, and salt on the chassis metal, preventing rust and ensuring driving safety. 2. Install an engine guard: The engine guard is a custom-designed protective device for various car models, primarily to prevent mud from covering the engine and to protect the engine from damage caused by uneven road surfaces during driving.

Is there a toll if entering the highway before 12 o'clock and exiting after 12 o'clock?

Entering the highway before 12 o'clock and exiting after 12 o'clock falls within the free period and is not charged. However, if it exceeds the free period, a toll will be charged. The free period starts at 0:00 on the first day of the statutory holiday and ends at 24:00 on the last day of the holiday. For ordinary roads, the toll is determined by the time the vehicle passes through the toll lane of the toll station, while for highways, it is determined by the time the vehicle exits the toll lane at the exit. According to the implementation plan for exempting tolls for small passenger vehicles during major holidays, the free period applies to four national statutory holidays: Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day, as well as the consecutive holidays determined by the State Council for these statutory holidays.

Do Temporary License Plates Get Penalty Points for Traffic Violations?

Temporary license plates do incur penalty points for traffic violations. Temporary plates are a type of legally recognized license plate and serve as the unique, traceable identifier for a vehicle, with records accessible in the traffic management system. The specific vehicle associated with each temporary plate can be traced, so if caught by police on-site, penalties will be enforced according to traffic safety laws. Temporary plates can be captured by high-definition electronic cameras, which can record the vehicle's driving trajectory, meaning violations like running red lights or speeding will be documented. In addition to fixed cameras, highways have mobile speed traps for on-the-spot enforcement, while urban areas have traffic police and motorcycle patrols that also penalize vehicles with temporary plates for violations.
