Yes. Solutions for a cracked rear taillight cover: Repair it with glass glue or replace the cover. You can do it yourself or take it to an auto repair shop. For small cracks, you can repair them yourself using glass glue. Then, you can spray paint the cover. First, prepare a masking film to cover all parts except the rear taillight cover to avoid accidentally spraying the car paint. Then, proceed with the spray painting. Reasons why a rear taillight may not work: Most of the time, it's due to a burnt-out bulb inside the taillight. If you open the taillight and find the bulb is fine, then it's likely that the fuse in the car has blown. A damaged fuse is also a direct cause of the taillight not working. Rear taillights include the turn signals, brake lights, position lights, rear fog lights, reverse lights, and parking lights. Generally, there are three main types of bulbs used in rear taillights: halogen car bulbs, HID car bulbs, and the newer LED car bulbs. When these lights are in operation, their power is typically around 21W, and when in position light mode, their power is usually around 5W.

Are Motors Afraid of Rain?

It is not recommended to park electric vehicles outdoors or charge them in rainy weather, as safety cannot be guaranteed. The following are the relevant reasons: 1. Reason one: The circuit in the hood area is something to pay attention to during daily use of electric vehicles. Generally, pure electric vehicles undergo waterproofing treatment, especially for the circuits inside the engine compartment cover. Simple rain exposure does not have a significant impact on the wiring, but it can affect the car's paint surface. When driving in the rain, try to prevent water from entering the interior of the car and avoid leaving it in the rain for too long. After exposure to rain, it is necessary to dry it promptly. 2. Reason two: When storing a pure electric vehicle in rainy weather, the vehicle's controller should be covered to prevent water ingress. Rainwater also has a certain impact on the car's paint surface. If conditions permit, it is advisable to park in an underground garage or cover the car with a car cover. If the electric vehicle has been exposed to water, the battery and connectors should be wiped clean to avoid short circuits during charging. 3. Reason three: When charging an electric vehicle in the rain, try to find a sheltered place. You can also use a rain cover for the electric vehicle charger. When in use, place the charger on a tray and use a bracket to support a waterproof cloth covering the charger, effectively preventing rain or water from splashing on the charger.

How many points are deducted for crossing a single yellow line?

Crossing a single yellow line in a car generally results in a traffic penalty of 3 points deducted. Here are specific details about single yellow lines: 1. Function: Solid yellow lines are used to separate different lanes, typically painted in the center of the road. Roads with four or more lanes often use double solid yellow lines, while roads with fewer lanes use single solid yellow lines to minimize the space occupied by lane markings. Yellow dashed lines are usually set up on narrower roads, also to separate lanes in different directions, and overtaking or U-turns are allowed when safe. 2. Penalty: U-turns are not permitted at either single or double solid yellow lines. Making a U-turn in such areas constitutes a traffic violation of crossing a prohibited line, punishable by a fine and a deduction of 3 points. Additionally, U-turns are not allowed where signs prohibit them or on special roads like narrow lanes, curves, or tunnels. If a U-turn at a single yellow line causes a traffic accident, the driver will bear primary responsibility for the accident.
