You can get a driver's license even if one eye is blind. Before the policy was revised, individuals with monocular vision were not allowed to obtain a driver's license, but after the policy change, they became eligible. The revised "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" in 2016 clearly states: For those with monocular vision impairment, if the better eye (the eye with better vision) achieves a naked or corrected visual acuity of 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart, and the horizontal visual field reaches 150 degrees, they can apply for a driver's license. (Note: People with red-green color blindness are still not allowed to obtain a driver's license.) Additional information: 1. For individuals with monocular vision, the driver's license medical examination is not much different from that of normal people, except for some special requirements regarding vision, so the process is not particularly troublesome. 2. There is an additional special test item for individuals with monocular vision during the vision examination: the horizontal visual field test. This ensures that drivers with monocular vision can clearly see straight ahead and effectively avoid driving risks from the left and right sides.

I have an old classmate who is blind in one eye, and he still got his driver's license and has been driving for many years. In China, the regulation states that as long as the other eye has a naked vision of 0.8 or above and a visual field of more than 120 degrees, it's acceptable. He went to the vehicle management office for a detailed physical examination, and the doctor said it was fine, so he proceeded with the test. While driving, depth perception is slightly affected, such as being a bit slower in judging distances, but with practice, he got used to it. He also installed a blind spot monitoring system for added safety. I suggest you directly consult the local traffic management department—they offer free assessments—and don’t make assumptions. Safety comes first; if it’s not feasible, rely more on public transportation to avoid accidents. Training your eye to adapt to the environment in daily life is also a good approach.

Should an automatic transmission car be started in Neutral (N) or Park (P)?

An automatic transmission car should be started in Park (P). After starting from P, briefly passing through Reverse (R) will not damage the transmission as long as you don't linger. From a transmission principle perspective, the gear lever doesn't directly change gears - its movement only generates a signal. The pre-programmed system then determines whether to shift gears. The Transmission Control Unit (TCU) can mitigate potentially harmful operations to some extent. How automatic transmissions work: Each gear has different gear ratios, similar to how small and large gear meshing produces different rotation speeds. Lower gear ratios are used for low-speed driving (output shaft speed lower than engine speed) to obtain greater driving force, while higher gear ratios are used for high-speed driving (output shaft speed higher than engine speed) to reduce traction and achieve higher speeds. Shifting essentially means selecting different sized gears to mesh with the output shaft gears.

Do You Use the Throttle When Reversing in a Manual Transmission Car?

Manual transmission cars do use the throttle when reversing; otherwise, the engine is prone to stalling during the process. More often, the clutch is utilized to adjust power output and control speed while reversing. On good road conditions, if the driver is skilled, reversing can be done more quickly. Otherwise, the vehicle may rely on idle speed to reverse. In automatic transmission cars, the right foot primarily controls the brake during reversing. The throttle is only pressed to accelerate when the road conditions behind the vehicle are favorable. The operation varies depending on the driver's skill level. Confident or skilled drivers might apply slight throttle when reversing on good road surfaces, and in some cases, even press the throttle more aggressively. However, this is always done under the precondition of having a subjective and relatively accurate judgment of the road conditions behind the vehicle. Otherwise, low-speed reversing is preferred.

How fast can a 200cc motorcycle go?

A 200cc motorcycle can reach a top speed of 100 to 140 kilometers per hour. The maximum horsepower varies depending on the cooling method. Taking the domestically produced Qingqi Tibetan Mastiff 200 as an example, it has a maximum power of 11.4 kilowatts and a top speed of about 115 km/h. If it's a water-cooled 200cc engine, the maximum power is 18.6 kilowatts, and the top speed can reach 140 km/h. Additional information: The displacement of motorcycles is measured in milliliters, while cars use liters. A 200 model motorcycle is 200cc or 200ml, equivalent to 0.2L for a car. For example, compared to a 2.0-liter car, the motorcycle's displacement is one-tenth of the car's.

What Does Turbocharging Mean?

Turbocharging in automobiles refers to the process where exhaust gases are not directly released into the atmosphere but instead are used to drive a turbocharger, which pressurizes the intake air to improve intake efficiency. This can also increase power output and reduce fuel consumption. As the engine speed increases, the exhaust gas discharge speed and turbocharger speed also increase simultaneously, enhancing the air compression level. Consequently, the engine's air intake volume increases accordingly, thereby boosting the engine's output power. After installing a turbocharger, an engine's maximum power can increase by 40% or even more compared to when it is not equipped with one. Below is more related information: Precautions for Using Turbocharging: 1. Turbocharged engines must use higher-performance, high-temperature-resistant, and oxidation-resistant premium engine oil. Additionally, the oil change interval should be shortened accordingly to maintain the lubrication and cooling effects of the oil on the turbocharger. 2. Turbocharged vehicles are equipped with oil coolers and intake system cooling devices to lower the temperature of the turbocharger. The radiator and thermostat should also be appropriately enlarged to improve thermal efficiency, thereby fully enhancing the cooling conditions of the turbocharged engine. 3. Do not shut off the engine immediately. After the engine has been running at high speed, shutting it off abruptly will cause a sharp decrease in the oil supply to the turbocharger bearings. At this time, the turbocharger is still rotating at high speed due to inertia, and the lack of lubrication and cooling under high temperature and speed can be fatal damage to the bearings.
