Vehicles with ETC can use the manual lanes on highways, just like regular vehicles using manual lanes, by queuing up to take a card. There are two ways to take a card in the manual lane: one is where a professional staff member hands you the card, and the other is where the driver self-serves by taking the card from the card dispenser. When passing through the toll station, it is essential to slow down and proceed in an orderly manner, avoiding any congestion caused by cutting in line. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which refers to the electronic toll system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and driving license. If the application is made by someone other than the owner, the agent's valid ID card must also be provided. The photocopy of the driving license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway toll fees is required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under their name. How ETC works: Through an onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, it communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. Using computer networking technology, it settles transactions with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pay highway or bridge tolls without stopping when passing through toll stations. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping; Cost-effective: Reduces wear and tear and fuel consumption by minimizing vehicle starts and stops; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase passage efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

Does the Dash Cam Still Record After the Car Power is Off?

After the car power is turned off, the dash cam can still record for about 30 seconds. This is mainly due to the residual power inside the dash cam, which is relatively low, so the recording time is also very short. Generally, the dash cam is connected to the car's battery. If the car's power is turned off and the dash cam does not have a parking recording function, it will usually stop recording after the car is parked. The dash cam is an instrument used to record video and audio during the vehicle's operation. By installing a dash cam, it can record the video and audio during driving, which can serve as evidence in the event of a traffic accident to protect the driver's legal rights. The dash cam is equivalent to the black box of a car, but the video data inside cannot be edited. Once edited, it cannot be used as evidence to assist in traffic accidents. All dash cams consist of a host, sensors, data analysis software, and an infrared camera. The video data from the dash cam can be viewed through the corresponding mobile app.

Where is the Fog Light Switch?

Generally, the fog light activation button is located on the light control lever. Below is a detailed introduction to automotive fog lights: 1. Usage Scenarios: The most common scenario for using fog lights is in foggy conditions. Additionally, they are used in severe weather such as snow or rain, or when driving in environments filled with smoke. To ensure driving safety, front fog lights must be used for illumination, while rear fog lights should be used as needed. 2. Precautions: Front and rear fog lights should not be used unless necessary, as they lack light shields. The intense glare can affect the vision of oncoming or following drivers, potentially compromising driving safety.

Is It Correct to Press the Clutch and Brake Simultaneously?

Pressing the clutch and brake simultaneously is not the correct practice, as it can easily shorten the lifespan of the clutch. However, this method can be used in emergency situations. When stopping the car, first press the clutch to reduce the speed and then apply the brakes. This can prevent the car from stalling suddenly. If the car is moving at a relatively high speed and needs to slow down or stop, you must either press the clutch or shift to neutral. Once the speed drops to an appropriate range, shift to the appropriate gear based on the specific speed and engine RPM, then press the brake to stop the car. If the driver needs to perform an emergency stop while driving, they can press both the clutch and brake simultaneously. This helps prevent misoperation by the driver and reduces the likelihood of the car stalling suddenly. In emergency situations, the driver is more likely to misoperate the pedals. By pressing both the brake and clutch at the same time, even if the accelerator is accidentally pressed, it will not affect the braking performance, ensuring the safety of the passengers.

What Causes Gear Shift Jerkiness When Driving?

Every vehicle experiences some degree of jerkiness during gear shifts, though the intensity varies. Driver's control technique issues: The severity of gear shift jerkiness is closely related to the driver's control skills. If the timing of gear shifting isn't properly managed, jerkiness naturally occurs. Mismatch between RPM and gear position: Generally, at low speeds, if the engine RPM and vehicle speed just meet the shifting criteria, upshifting will produce stronger jerkiness; if the throttle is slightly larger, making both engine RPM and vehicle speed significantly exceed the shifting standard, the jerkiness during shifting will be relatively milder.

What are the material properties of 510L steel plate?

510L is an automobile beam plate. 510- represents the lower limit of tensile strength, with the unit being N/mm2/L- representing automobile longitudinal and cross beams. Automobile beam plates are mainly used to manufacture structural components such as automobile longitudinal beams, cross beams, front and rear axles, and bumpers, with a thickness generally ranging from 4.0 to 8.0mm. It is a type of steel with high demand and strict performance requirements in automobile structural steel plates. Additional information: 1. Beam: The main load-bearing component of a truck, carrying almost the entire weight of the cargo. The quality of the beam affects the vehicle's service life and driving safety. The manufacturing of automobile beams generally adopts stamping forming technology, with bending as the main deformation method. 2. Beam plate performance: High formability requirements, meaning automobile beam steel plates must have excellent comprehensive performance, sufficient strength and toughness, and good fatigue resistance and cold formability. 3. Composite materials: To improve automobile load capacity, extend vehicle service life, and meet requirements for energy saving, material saving, and safe driving, the use of low-alloy high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel plates to produce automobile beams has become the current trend in the development of automobile beam steel.

Can I Take Subject Four Right After Passing Subject One in the Driving Test?

After passing Subject One of the driver's license test, you cannot directly proceed to Subject Four. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the test sequence follows Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three in order. Only after passing the previous subject can you proceed to the next. After passing the road driving skills test of Subject Three, you are eligible to take the safety and civilized driving knowledge test. There are three main subjects in the driving test: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three, with Subject Three divided into two parts. Subject Four is the colloquial term for the safety and civilized driving knowledge test under Subject Three and is not a separate subject. Subject One refers to the test on road traffic laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test; Subject Three refers to the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three. Each subject can be taken once, and if failed, a retake is allowed. If the retake is not attended or still fails, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. However, Subject Two and Subject Three retakes must be scheduled at least ten days later. If the safety and civilized driving knowledge test under Subject Three is failed, the passed road driving skills test results remain valid. During the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of retakes for Subject Two and Subject Three road driving skills tests must not exceed five. If the fifth retake still fails, the passed results of other subjects become invalid. Notes for Subject Four Test: Test Duration: The test lasts 30 minutes, and answering 6 questions incorrectly (12 points) will terminate the test. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of license, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject Four question bank. For car licenses, questions are selected from 800, and for large vehicle licenses, from 1,023. Each question is worth 2 points. Question Types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions. The first 45 questions are single-choice, and the last 5 are multiple-choice. The test also includes animation questions, image questions, scenario recognition questions, and text-based questions. Retake Notes: If Subject Four is failed, only Subject Four needs to be retaken. The driving school schedules the retake, with no limit on retake attempts. No retake fees are required for Subject Four. Subject Four Test Tips: Strengthen Weak Areas and Identify Mistakes: For marked questions, do not just memorize the correct answers. Refer to laws, textbooks, or reference materials to understand the reasons for errors and internalize them. Categorize and Summarize Questions: Refer to the question bank analysis to group similar questions. Many questions in the bank are similar and easily confused, so they should be analyzed together. For example, traffic signs like "Pedestrian," "Walking," "Pedestrian Crossing," and "Caution Pedestrian Crossing" have similar patterns and can be confusing. Grouping them during study helps avoid mistakes. Use Memory Techniques: Many questions involve numbers. Summarizing these numbers can make memorization easier.
