Water cannot replace gasoline. Introduction to Gasoline: The English name for gasoline is 'gasoline' or 'gas' (American English), also known as 'petrol' (British English). It is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from the distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis of petroleum, primarily used as fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines. It mainly consists of organic compounds obtained from crude oil distillation and various additives. Although gasoline yield varies with the composition of crude oil, typically, a barrel of 42 US gallons (160 liters) of crude oil can produce about 19 US gallons (72 liters) of gasoline after refinery processing. Functions of Gasoline: The octane rating of gasoline measures the anti-knock properties of a specific gasoline mixture (which can cause knocking and reduce the efficiency of reciprocating engines). Depending on the octane rating, gasoline is produced in several grades. Other chemicals are often added to gasoline to improve chemical stability and other performance characteristics, control corrosiveness, and maintain the cleanliness of the fuel system.

How Old Can a Child Be to Sit in the Front Passenger Seat?

There are no strict regulations regarding how old a child must be to sit in the front passenger seat or the mandatory use of child safety seats. However, children under the age of 12 are not allowed to sit in the front passenger seat. For safety reasons, children should sit in the back seat, and younger children must use a child safety seat. There are clear regulations for front-seat passengers: 1. Parents holding children cannot sit in the front passenger seat, nor can child safety seats be installed there; 2. If the front passenger does not fasten their seatbelt while driving on highways or urban expressways, they may be fined via electronic monitoring or on-site enforcement and required to correct the behavior; 3. On roads outside highways and urban expressways with speed limits below 50 km/h, front passengers not wearing seatbelts will receive a verbal warning and education to correct the behavior, without penalty points or fines.

Can You Make a U-Turn in a Left-Turn Lane?

Whether you can make a U-turn in a left-turn lane mainly depends on the signs at the intersection. Situations where U-turns are allowed: 1. When driving in a left-turn lane without a U-turn signal and not having passed the stop line, and the intersection has dashed lines, a U-turn is allowed regardless of the red light, but you must yield to other vehicles; 2. When driving in a left-turn lane and not having passed the stop line, and the central barrier at the intersection has a U-turn passage, a U-turn is allowed regardless of the red light, but you must yield to other vehicles; 3. When driving in a left-turn lane without a U-turn signal, and the intersection has no dashed lines or gaps in the guardrail, follow the traffic light ahead—U-turns are allowed on green after crossing the stop line and pedestrian crossing; 4. When driving in a left-turn lane with a U-turn signal at the intersection, and the intersection has no dashed lines or gaps in the guardrail, follow the U-turn signal—U-turns are allowed on green after crossing the stop line and pedestrian crossing. Situations where U-turns are not allowed: 1. When driving in a left-turn lane and not having passed the stop line, and the intersection has dashed lines, but there is a U-turn signal showing red, U-turns are prohibited; 2. When driving in a left-turn lane without a U-turn signal, and the intersection has no dashed lines or gaps in the guardrail, follow the traffic light ahead—U-turns are prohibited on red; 3. At intersections with a 'No Left Turn' sign, neither left turns nor U-turns are allowed.

What is a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is the unique code found on the vehicle's registration certificate, consisting of seventeen letters and numbers. It serves as a distinctive identifier for the vehicle, allowing the identification of the manufacturer, model, chassis number, and other relevant details. Meaning of VIN: The VIN is a 17-character alphanumeric code, also known as the 17-digit identification code, frame number, or 17-digit number. Through its combination of characters, the VIN ensures that no two vehicles of the same model will have the same number within 30 years, making it a unique identifier for the vehicle—often referred to as the 'car's ID card.' Function of VIN: The VIN follows specific rules. Certain characters are invalid, such as O, Q, I, and 0, while the letter Z is invalid in the year position. The ninth character must be a digit (0-9) or the uppercase letter X, and the following four characters must all be digits, not letters. Additionally, the VIN can be analyzed against vehicle configuration standards. Characters 4 to 8 represent the engine and transmission model, which must match the information on the assembly label without discrepancies.

What is the purpose of the green laser lights on highways?

The purpose of the green laser lights on highways is to remind drivers not to drive while fatigued. Their working principle involves changing the visual fatigue caused by the monotonous driving environment on highways through variations and stimulation of light. These laser lights have two modes: continuous and strobe, with a range of 2 kilometers. They are mostly installed along relatively straight sections of highways and can create a certain visual impact, effectively stimulating the driver's brain. Laser lights are just one of the many measures to prevent fatigue driving on highways. Other common measures include flashing lights and reflective strips, which also serve to prevent fatigue. However, preventing fatigue primarily requires raising drivers' awareness of safe driving and ensuring sufficient rest time.

Does stopping with the front wheels over the line in the last second of the yellow light count as running a red light?

Stopping with the front wheels over the line in the last second of the yellow light does not count as running a red light. The so-called last second of the yellow light refers to the moment when the yellow light is about to turn red. Just before the red light: If the driver has completely crossed the stop line the moment the light turns red, continuing to drive forward will not be considered running a red light. As for whether other penalties will be imposed, that depends on local regulations. The instant the yellow light changes: If only the front of the car has crossed the stop line the moment the yellow light turns red, the car must be stopped at this point. This is similar to determining whether a red light has been run—only the front of the car crossing the stop line does not count as running a red light. In general, when the yellow light comes on, you should slow down and stop.
