When waiting at a straight lane traffic light, you cannot turn left even if the left turn signal turns green. Only vehicles in the left turn lane are permitted to turn left. When entering an intersection, you must follow the ground markings to proceed in your intended direction. You may cross the intersection when the traffic signal ahead is green. If you intend to turn left, your vehicle should be in the left turn lane, and you should observe the left turn signal ahead; you may turn left when it is green. According to the Ministry of Public Security's regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driving licenses, when a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic signals, it must enter the designated lane based on the intended direction of travel at intersections with marked lanes. For vehicles traveling in a straight lane, making illegal left or right turns at intersections constitutes driving in an incorrect lane, and penalties depend on the nature of the road.

How to Determine Which National Emission Standard Your Vehicle Meets?

There are several methods to determine which national emission standard your vehicle meets: 1. Check the vehicle's environmental protection label. There is usually a clear marking on the back of the label attached to the vehicle. 2. Visit the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center to inquire. 3. Bring the motor vehicle registration certificate (original or copy) to the vehicle management office for inquiry. 4. Make a rough estimation based on the year your vehicle was registered. Most vehicles registered after 2008 meet National IV standard; vehicles registered in 2007 may meet either National III or National IV standard; vehicles registered before 2007 mostly meet National III or National II standard; and vehicles registered before 2005 mostly meet National II standard.

Should the Yellow and Red Dots on Tires Face Outward?

The hollow yellow dot indicates the position with the least longitudinal vibration of the tire, while the solid red dot indicates the position with the greatest longitudinal vibration. When installing tires, the yellow and red dots on the tire should face outward. Below is more information about tire replacement: 1. The side that needs to face outward will be marked with 'outside.' The position with the yellow dot is the lightest part of the tire, while the position with the red dot indicates the heaviest part. 2. After replacing the tires, it is necessary to rebalance all four wheels. Otherwise, the wheels may vibrate at high speeds. When performing wheel balancing, always choose a professional shop with specialized equipment and trained personnel. 3. For wheel alignment, it is also essential to select a professional shop with the right equipment and expertise. Incorrect wheel alignment data can lead to uneven tire wear or vehicle misalignment. 4. When using a tire mounting machine to install tires, apply lubricant to the tire.

Do All Four Tires Need to Be Replaced at the Same Time?

Under normal circumstances, it is better to replace all four tires together for the following reasons: 1. Different tire tread patterns can result in varying levels of traction, affecting the vehicle's grip. Having the same tread pattern on all four tires ensures consistent traction across all wheels. If tires with different tread patterns must be used together, ensure that tires with the same pattern and similar wear are placed on the same axle to avoid performance issues caused by uneven traction. 2. If tires on the same vehicle are rotated regularly, their wear levels should be similar. If one tire becomes unusable, the others are likely in the same condition. 3. Tires have a limited lifespan, typically up to six years. Beyond this period, the risk of tire blowouts increases significantly. Therefore, even if some tires still have good tread, they should be replaced after six years. (Note: If a tire is damaged due to impact, one or two tires can be replaced individually, but ensure that tires on the same axle have matching tread patterns.)

What are the reasons why a van has electricity and fuel but won't start?

Here are the specific reasons why a van has electricity and fuel but won't start: 1. Partial failure of the ignition wires: The reason why a car has electricity and fuel but won't start may be due to issues with the ignition wires, such as aging wires, incorrect cylinder wire sequence, damaged distributor, or loose spark plug caps. When starting the engine, if there is a clear sound of the starter working, it indicates that the power supply is not a problem and the starter is functioning properly. The issue might be a blocked fuel line, preventing proper fuel supply. 2. Incorrect car gear position: An incorrect gear position can also prevent the car from starting. Generally, the P or N gear is the correct starting position for an automatic transmission car. If the gear is in R or another position, not only will the car fail to start, but there will also be certain safety hazards. Carefully check if the gear position is correct. Once an incorrect gear position is found, adjust it to the correct position before attempting to start the vehicle.

What is the difference between A maintenance and B maintenance?

Here are the specific differences between A maintenance and B maintenance: 1. Maintenance items: A maintenance includes simple inspection, computer connection check, and oil and oil filter replacement; B maintenance involves more in-depth inspections than A maintenance, such as removing tires to measure brake disc thickness, etc. In addition to the contents of A maintenance, B maintenance also includes replacing the air filter and cabin air filter. 2. Maintenance categories: A maintenance includes engine oil, oil filter, lubrication maintenance, windshield washer fluid top-up, full vehicle fluid inspection, computer diagnostics, drainage check, tire tightening, tire pressure (5 tires), chassis inspection (suspension, brake discs, pads, and all chassis components), interior inspection (horn, headlight washer, seat belts, interior lights, cigarette lighter, and all functions), battery test, and resetting maintenance and tire pressure warning lights; B maintenance includes adding air filter replacement, cabin air filter replacement, air conditioning sterilization, sunroof lubrication, intake manifold, throttle, and fuel injector cleaning without disassembly, plus all the items included in A maintenance.
