What are the traffic rules for a U-turn?

At locations where U-turns are permitted, if there are no special U-turn traffic signals or other traffic signs regulating U-turns, motor vehicles can make a U-turn during the traffic light cycle. However, when making a U-turn during a red light, the vehicle is not allowed to cross the stop line or the double solid line at the center of the intersection. Additionally, the U-turn must not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Penalties for illegal U-turns by motor vehicles: U-turn at a left-turn intersection: Driving not in accordance with the guided lane is a traffic violation, resulting in 2 penalty points; U-turn at a straight lane intersection: Driving not in accordance with the guided lane is a traffic violation, resulting in 2 penalty points; U-turn on a road section with a solid center line: Violating the prohibition markings is a traffic violation, resulting in 3 penalty points; U-turn on a highway: A vehicle passing through the central barrier of a highway to make a U-turn without following regulations is a traffic violation, resulting in 12 penalty points. Methods for executing a U-turn: On wider roads, it is advisable to use a large loop for a one-step U-turn. This method is quick, convenient, economical, and safe. In areas with traffic personnel, signal the intention to make a U-turn in advance, obtain permission and guidance from the personnel, then reduce speed, shift to a lower gear, honk the horn, and proceed with the U-turn slowly.

What are the P, R, N, D, and M gears?

Introduction to P, R, N, D, and M gears: P - Parking Gear: P stands for Parking, meaning the parking gear or starting gear. When the vehicle is parked and not moving, the gear is shifted to this position, where the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent sliding. However, it is unnecessary to shift to P for short stops, such as waiting at a traffic light. R - Reverse Gear: R is the abbreviation for Reverse, the reverse gear. As the name suggests, this gear is only used when reversing. Regardless of the previous gear, to shift into R, you must firmly press the brake and wait until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Otherwise, it may affect the lifespan of the transmission. N - Neutral Gear: N stands for Neutral, the neutral gear. Its function is similar to P but with some differences. This gear is used when the vehicle needs to be temporarily stopped. Note that this gear position indicates neutral, and to prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, you must press the brake. Even on flat ground, it is advisable to engage the handbrake. D - Drive Gear: D stands for Drive, the forward gear or driving gear. It is used when the vehicle is moving forward and can be used for extended periods. The vehicle automatically shifts gears based on the driver's throttle input to achieve speed changes. M - Manual Gear: M is the abbreviation for Manual-transmission, the manual gear. Literally, it means using a manual gear lever to achieve gear shifting. Generally, only vehicles with a manual-automatic transmission have this feature.

What Causes Fogging on Car Windows in Summer?

Summer fogging on car windows is caused by a significant temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the vehicle under current environmental conditions. Solutions for fogging on the outside of the glass when using air conditioning in summer: When the fog is not heavy, you can appropriately open the windows on both sides to allow air convection, which eliminates the temperature difference on both sides of the windshield, making it difficult for fog to form naturally. Alternatively, turning on the air conditioning to blow cold air can quickly eliminate the fog. Methods to solve window fogging under other circumstances: Blowing hot or cold air is a quick solution. Blowing hot air can fundamentally solve the problem of glass fogging, but the fog will return once the hot air is turned off. However, the main issue with blowing hot air is that it takes a long time to see results. Additionally, driving with the heater on consumes a lot of fuel. Anti-fog spray: The principle of anti-fog spray is simple. Spraying a layer on the windshield forms an effective protective film, preventing water vapor from condensing. However, the effectiveness of this protective film is short-lived, requiring frequent reapplication to maintain results. Automatic defogging: For some high-end brands, vehicles come equipped with features to prevent fogging. The air conditioning systems in these models continuously monitor the temperature and humidity inside the vehicle, analyzing the critical temperature for water vapor condensation at any given moment. By comparing these indicators, the system can determine whether the air inside the vehicle will cause fogging on the windshield. If the system detects fogging, the air conditioning system will initiate a series of defogging operations, such as adjusting temperature, airflow direction, air volume, and switching between internal and external circulation.

Is it necessary to remove the ETC card?

The ETC card can be removed, but the ETC device will not function without it. According to the "Rules for the Use of Non-Stop Fast Passage Systems," the ETC card must be inserted into the OBU device for normal operation; otherwise, user information cannot be read. If the card is removed, you can use the manual lane and have the staff swipe the card. When the ETC card is inserted into the OBU device, a prompt sound will indicate that the device is activated. Without the card, the device remains in a dormant state and cannot recognize vehicle information at toll stations, so removing the card renders the ETC unusable. ETC is an electronic toll collection system, also known as an automatic road toll system. It is a specialized method for collecting tolls on roads, commonly used on highways, toll bridges or tunnels, and certain urban sections to alleviate traffic congestion. ETC Billing Principle: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's onboard electronic tag (installed on the windshield) and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane, the system uses computer networking technology to settle payments with banks. This allows vehicles to pass toll stations without stopping, operating on a "pass first, deduct later" principle. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by avoiding stops at toll stations; Cost-saving: Lowers wear and fuel consumption by reducing frequent starts and stops; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic flow by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more efficient compared to license plate payment systems. More policy support: The State Council's "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" explicitly states the goal of "achieving interoperability of transportation cards in key urban clusters by 2020 and significantly increasing the adoption rate of ETC in vehicles," with a target of "50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020." Future possibilities: Beyond improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote ETC adoption for trucks and explore deeper integration of ETC systems with vehicle-to-vehicle communication, vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination, and other smart transportation developments, offering comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners and expanding ETC application scenarios.
