You must carry your driver's license while driving. If you are caught driving without a license, the traffic police will impound your vehicle on the spot until you retrieve your driver's license. Additionally, you will be penalized with a one-point deduction and a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. If you cannot provide your driver's license or any other valid identification, the traffic police will treat it as driving without a license. Below is more information about traffic violations: 1. Overtaking without using lights as required results in a 100-yuan fine and a one-point deduction. 2. Driving a motor vehicle without using lights as required leads to a one-point deduction. 3. Driving a motor vehicle with cargo exceeding the specified length, width, or height results in a one-point deduction. 4. Driving a motor vehicle on the road without displaying the inspection qualification mark, insurance mark, or carrying the vehicle license and driver's license leads to a one-point deduction.

Last time I was stopped by a traffic police officer on the highway for a check, and it turned out I had left my driver's license in a drawer at home. The officer said that according to regulations, the original driver's license must be carried when driving. Although I had photos and an electronic version, the officer explained these couldn't fully replace the physical document. In the end, I was deducted 1 point and fined 200 yuan, and my car was temporarily impounded for 2 hours while waiting for my family to bring the license. Since then, I've kept my driver's license and vehicle registration card in a card holder placed in a fixed spot in the center console. After all, while the chance of being checked isn't high, encountering it is a big hassle. Remember, carrying your driver's license is not just a legal requirement—it also helps quickly prove your identity in case of an accident.

What is the sequence for removing and installing a car battery?

The sequence for removing and installing a car battery: 1. Park the car on a flat surface and turn off the engine to cut power. 2. Use a screwdriver to remove the battery cover. 3. Disconnect the battery cables, ensuring to remove the negative terminal first, followed by the positive terminal. 4. Remove the battery's securing bracket. 5. Install the new battery in reverse order, connecting the positive terminal first, then the negative terminal when reattaching the cables. For daily maintenance, pay attention to the following aspects of the car battery: 1. If the car is not used for an extended period during winter, remove the battery to prevent power drain or damage due to freezing. 2. Charge the battery regularly and start the car periodically. 3. After turning off the engine, avoid using car electronics. If necessary, start the engine to ensure normal power supply.

Can You Drive with an Auto Hold Malfunction?

Auto hold malfunction allows driving when it does not affect driving safety, but should be repaired as soon as possible. Here is an introduction about auto hold malfunction:1. Introduction: Auto hold malfunction indicates that the active parking system has a problem and cannot function normally. Auto hold refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this function, for example, when stopping at a red light, it is equivalent to not using the handbrake, which can simplify operations by avoiding the use of a manual or electronic handbrake. Automatic transmission models also do not need to frequently switch between D to N or D to P.2. AUTOHOLD: AUTOHOLD relies on an intelligent braking system. Only vehicles with brake control systems like ESP can achieve the AUTOHOLD function. Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the handbrake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start on a slope.

What is the difference between 1.4t and 1.5t?

1.4t and 1.5t differ in the following aspects: 1. Different concepts: 1.4t refers to a 1.4-liter displacement engine with turbocharging; 1.5t refers to a 1.5-liter displacement engine with turbocharging. 2. Different displacements: 1.4t has a 1.4-liter displacement; 1.5t has a 1.5-liter displacement. The working principle of a turbocharged engine is that the exhaust gas discharged by the engine is compressed through a pipeline, driving the turbine to rotate at high speed, maximizing the work of the engine's pistons, thereby outputting higher power. After the turbocharger intervenes, the acceleration becomes significantly faster, providing a strong sense of pushing force.

Will a U-turn over a crosswalk be captured by traffic cameras?

If there are electronic surveillance cameras, it will be captured as making a U-turn on a crosswalk is a traffic violation. According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," this offense incurs a 3-point penalty and a fine of 200 yuan. The basis for this is Article 49, which states: Motor vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or other dangerous road sections. Definition of yielding to pedestrians on crosswalks: When pedestrians are walking on the right side of the crosswalk and have not reached the centerline of the road, vehicles on the left side of the road should slow down and allow them to pass safely. When pedestrians are waiting outside the boundary line of the motorized and non-motorized lanes and have not entered the roadway, vehicles should slow down and allow them to pass safely. When pedestrians cross the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles that do not stop to let them pass are committing a violation and should be penalized. When pedestrians enter the motorized lane along the crosswalk, vehicles should slow down and allow them to pass safely. Vehicles that do not stop to let them pass are committing a violation and should be penalized. When pedestrians are waiting at the centerline of the road without entering the motorized lane, vehicles that do not stop to let them pass are committing a violation and should be penalized. When pedestrians cross the centerline of the road and enter the motorized lane, vehicles that do not stop to let them pass are committing a violation and should be penalized. When pedestrians are separated by a green belt in the middle of the road and are waiting in the designated area, vehicles should slow down and allow them to pass safely. Permissible U-turn situations: If there is a clear U-turn sign at an intersection, a U-turn is allowed; if there is a U-turn traffic light, follow the signal. If there is no traffic light, make a U-turn based on the specific situation without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit no U-turn or no left-turn signs allow U-turns: If there is no explicit prohibition, a U-turn is permitted. "No explicit prohibition" means the absence of "no U-turn signs," "no left-turn signs," or solid centerlines, in which case a U-turn can be made confidently. U-turns are also allowed on yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines are no-stopping zones marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary parking, important unit entrances, and other necessary locations. Any vehicle stopping on these grid lines (including waiting for traffic lights) commits a violation. Although stopping is prohibited on yellow grid lines, U-turns are allowed unless there is a central barrier. Intersections with U-turn traffic lights: This is straightforward—if there is a U-turn traffic light, follow the signal; proceed only on green. When no left-turn and U-turn signs appear together: U-turns are allowed, but left turns are prohibited. Note that "no U-turn" is not the same as "no left-turn." Precautions when making U-turns at intersections: Observe road markings—if they are solid lines, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable location. If there is a "no left-turn" sign ahead, even without a "no U-turn" sign, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns inherently involve left turns. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If in the second left-turn lane, U-turns are not permitted at that intersection. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Proceed only if it does not interfere with the normal flow of traffic; otherwise, you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes typically have guiding arrows for vehicle direction. The leftmost lane does not always have a left-turn arrow—if it has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even without explicit no U-turn signs.

Why Can't the Car Start and the Steering Wheel Won't Turn?

Car not starting and the steering wheel not turning may be due to the steering wheel being in a locked state. Below are detailed explanations about the car steering wheel: Overview: The steering wheel (Steering-Wheel) is the wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of vehicles such as cars, engineering machinery, and agricultural vehicles. The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft via splines. Additional Information: By controlling the steering wheel, the driver can maintain or change the direction of the car's movement as intended. In the event of a frontal collision accident, whether due to the steering wheel moving backward or the driver hitting the steering wheel, the driver can be injured.
