You cannot change lanes on a solid white line. Driving a car requires compliance with traffic rules. Here is detailed information about car driving: Overview: Driving a car is one of the basic skills that modern people need to master. To master the technique of driving a motor vehicle, one must meet the required age and physical conditions; and undergo training and examinations on road traffic safety laws and regulations, general knowledge about automobile mechanics, and safe driving practices. Others: The permission to drive a vehicle is granted through the issuance of a driver's license. This indicates that obtaining a driver's license is a formalized act that must be issued by a specialized authority.

I remember when I was young and driving, I thought the white solid line was just a line and it was okay to change lanes casually. As a result, I was caught by a camera changing lanes over a solid line on a highway curve, fined 200 yuan and had points deducted. Later, I learned from an old traffic police friend that the white solid line is a lane divider, strictly prohibiting lane changes, and only at dashed lines can you safely change lanes. The purpose is to prevent side collisions and maintain traffic order, especially in bad weather or turning areas where it's even more dangerous. Now when I drive long distances, I observe the navigation's dashed line prompts for lane change points in advance. Only after making it a habit have I had fewer incidents. The details of safe driving are often hidden in respecting road markings.

What is the maintenance interval for SAIC Volkswagen vehicles?

SAIC Volkswagen vehicles generally have a maintenance interval of every 7,500 kilometers as specified by the manufacturer. This interval is determined based on various factors such as road conditions, air quality, fuel quality, and more. SAIC Volkswagen vehicle maintenance items include: Engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, and cabin air filter. For vehicles that have traveled 60,000 kilometers, the transmission fluid typically only needs to be replaced every 100,000 kilometers, and some owners may even have transmission fluid that is maintenance-free for the lifetime of the vehicle. Engine spark plugs and timing belts can also last for over 80,000 kilometers. If spark plugs require maintenance, some engine cylinders may not fire properly, leading to symptoms such as engine shaking. The timing belt is a crucial component of the engine's valve train system, connected to the crankshaft to ensure proper engine intake and exhaust timing. After prolonged use, timing belts may break, and once damaged, they cannot be replaced by the owner. It is recommended to replace them approximately every 80,000 kilometers. Key points to note for vehicle maintenance: Regular tire pressure checks and adjustments are among the most important aspects of vehicle safety inspections. Insufficient tire pressure can lead to abnormal wear or internal tire damage, while excessive tire pressure makes the tires and rims more susceptible to deformation from impacts with uneven road surfaces and may even cause blowouts. Do not blindly pursue higher-octane gasoline. The octane rating is merely a parameter that indicates a gasoline's resistance to knocking and has no direct correlation with the cleanliness or fuel efficiency of the gasoline. Higher octane ratings do not necessarily mean better performance, and even high-end vehicles do not always require high-octane gasoline.

How to Repair Minor Car Scratches?

Here are the methods to deal with scratches on your car: 1. Hairline scratches: For hairline scratches, polishing or applying a rubbing compound is usually sufficient to remove them. Simply wiping gently can make the hairline scratches disappear. 2. Light scratches: For light scratches, just prepare a tube of toothpaste. Toothpaste is very effective for shallow scratches that haven't damaged the car's primer. It works particularly well for removing traces left by other vehicles' paint during minor collisions or sticky residues from adhesive products. Most of these marks can be wiped away completely. 3. Moderate to deep scratches: Moderate and deep scratches cannot be repaired by polishing. If the dent area is small (not exceeding 5mm), you can level it with filler putty and then proceed with touch-up painting.

What Are the Common Issues After Cleaning Fuel Injectors?

Common issues after cleaning fuel injectors include increased fuel consumption and higher idle speed. The working principle of fuel injector spraying is as follows: high-pressure fuel is pumped into the fuel injector supply port, creating high pressure inside the injector body that acts on the conical surface of the injector nozzle. When the fuel pressure exceeds the set value, the injector valve core opens, and high-pressure fuel is sprayed from the nozzle holes in a mist form into the engine cylinder for combustion, driving the piston's reciprocating motion. Common fuel injector faults and their solutions are: 1. Clogged nozzle holes: Use chromium oxide applied to a flat plate for grinding; if the cylindrical surface of the needle valve is significantly worn, it should be replaced promptly. 2. Poor sealing: Apply chromium oxide or toothpaste to the sealing band at the needle valve end. 3. Piston wear: Replace the piston.

What is the sign for a high-occupancy vehicle lane?

High-occupancy vehicle lane sign color: Typically white on a blue background. The high-occupancy vehicle lane sign indicates that the lane is only for vehicles with multiple occupants. The high-occupancy vehicle lane sign complies with Articles 38, 68, 6, and 3 of the Road Traffic Law of the People's Republic of China, which stipulate legal consequences for traffic violations related to directional signs, directional markings, prohibitory signs, warning signs, and other road traffic violations indicated by such signs. Precautions for driving on highways are as follows: 1. Safety check: Check for potential safety hazards before getting in the car. Before driving on the highway, you should inspect your vehicle for any safety risks. 2. Wear seat belts: Always wear seat belts on the highway, including the driver, front passenger, and rear seats. Avoid placing loose items in the car.

How Many Kilometers Can You Drive After the Fuel Tank is Empty?

Generally, you can drive 30-50 kilometers after the fuel gauge shows empty. The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank and generates a significant amount of heat during operation. The fuel itself acts as its coolant, continuously cooling the pump to ensure proper functioning. Without the cooling effect of fuel, the lifespan of the fuel pump can be significantly shortened. Insufficient fuel can also damage the engine. Symptoms of a faulty fuel level sensor (fuel float) include: 1. The fuel gauge needle being stuck at a certain position; 2. The fuel gauge suddenly dropping to zero. The fuel float is a sensing device for fuel level, usually made of foam plastic, and together with the fuel gauge, it forms the vehicle's fuel level detection system. When the fuel level in the tank decreases, the fuel float sinks, moving the sliding arm and increasing resistance, which in turn reduces the current returning to the fuel gauge.
