Can You Stick Your Head Out During Curve Driving?

Curve driving does not allow sticking your head out, otherwise it will result in failure. During the Subject 2 driving test, candidates are not permitted to lean their heads out of the window to check vehicle operations; they must rely solely on rearview mirrors for observation. According to test regulations, not only is leaning out prohibited, but no part of the body may extend outside the vehicle during any movement test. Violation will result in failure. The Subject 2 driving test consists of five tasks: reverse parking into a garage, hill start, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. Among these, reverse parking and parallel parking require controlling the vehicle by observing the rearview mirrors. Relevant officials have also stated that under the new traffic regulations, not only is leaning out prohibited, but no part of the body may extend outside the vehicle during any movement test. Violation will result in failure. Tips for curve driving: When entering an S-curve, pay attention to the position of the front of the car. When the midpoint of the front touches the right yellow line, gradually steer to the left. Start with half a turn, keeping the left corner of the front aligned with the yellow line. When the left corner is about to cross the yellow line, steer a bit more. If the left corner fails to touch the yellow line, slightly adjust the steering back. When the front of the car is centered at the curve junction, quickly straighten the steering, usually requiring about one full turn. When the midpoint of the front touches the left yellow line, steer half a turn to the right, then make minor adjustments, following the curve and continuously adjusting the steering wheel. While turning, use peripheral vision to glance at the left and right rearview mirrors to monitor the distance between the rear wheels and the boundary lines, making appropriate adjustments to avoid crossing the lines.

I've been driving for over a decade, and sticking your head out during turns is absolutely unacceptable—it's extremely dangerous. The car is already unstable when turning, and extending your head out makes it easy to hit roadside branches, billboards, or oncoming vehicles. I once saw a driver on the highway who injured his head doing just that and nearly rolled the car. Plus, it distracts your attention—just a slight missteer of the wheel could lead to an accident. Traffic laws explicitly state that you must not lean any part of your body out of the window while the vehicle is moving, and you'll face fines and penalty points if caught by traffic police. My advice is to rely more on rearview and side mirrors to check road conditions—safety comes first. If you really need to look, slow down and stop first. Don’t gamble with your life. Developing good habits is key.

Back in my younger days, I did something equally foolish—driving on winding country roads with my head sticking out the window, thinking it was cool. But one sharp turn nearly had a tree branch scrape my face, which scared me straight. Later, I learned this isn’t just illegal (and fine-worthy) but also incredibly reckless. During turns, a car’s center of gravity shifts dramatically, and leaning out the window increases the risk of losing control—especially at higher speeds. At best, you might get a scrape; at worst, it could lead to an accident. Remember: the right move is staying focused on the road ahead during curves. Installing a wide-angle rearview mirror or dashcam is all you need for convenience and safety—don’t repeat my past ignorance.

I've always been a driving instructor, and when students ask if they can stick their heads out during curves, I always say No! The car body sways during curves, and sticking your head out can cause loss of balance and increase the chance of accidents. The correct approach is to keep your line of sight inside the car and use the side mirrors to observe the outside scenery. Safety is far more important than scenery. Driving requires concentration, especially on curves—pay even more attention when the speed is a bit higher. Standardized driving is a fundamental principle; avoid any small movements or dangerous behaviors.

Can Modified Wheel Size Pass the Annual Inspection?

Modifying wheels is a relatively conspicuous modification. If the wheel modification is not registered with the vehicle management office, it will not pass the annual inspection. Introduction to Wheels: Wheels are the rotating part of the tire's inner rim connected to the hub through spokes, which is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. Also known as rims, steel wheels, or simply wheels. Wheels come in various types based on diameter, width, forming method, and material. Types of Wheels: Depending on the characteristics and needs of different vehicle models, the surface treatment process of wheels also varies, mainly divided into painting and plating. For ordinary vehicle models, the appearance of wheels is less considered, with good heat dissipation being a basic requirement. The process mostly involves painting, which includes spraying followed by baking, making it cost-effective with vibrant colors that last long, even when the vehicle is scrapped. Many mass-market vehicle models use painted wheels. Some fashionable and dynamic colored wheels also employ painting technology.

Where is the air conditioning filter element of the Haifuxing located?

The air conditioning filter element of the Haifuxing is located under the glove box on the passenger side. Here are some relevant details: 1. If the filter element is dirty, you can clean it by blowing compressed air from the reverse side. Operation method: Hold the air gun 5 cm away from the filter element and blow at a pressure of 500 kPa for about 2 minutes. The air filter element is very prone to dust accumulation. Use compressed air to remove the dust, but never wash it with water, as this can easily cause damage. 2.

What are the reasons for a car not starting with no power at all inside?

There are several reasons why a car may not start with no power at all inside: 1. Dead battery: This could be due to a drained battery from leaving headlights on for a long time or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. It is generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. Additionally, installing xenon headlights, high-power audio systems, or DVD players can also cause vehicle circuit failures. 2. Incorrect gear position: For automatic transmission cars, the gear must be in P or N position when starting. If it is in R or D position, the car will not start. Some manual transmission cars may also not start if the clutch is not depressed. 3. Lack of antifreeze: Using water or low-quality antifreeze in the car can cause the engine to freeze and crack in extremely cold winter conditions, leading to the water pump failing to operate, the car not starting, and damage to other engine components.

How to Decelerate an Automatic Transmission Car?

To decelerate an automatic transmission car, release the accelerator pedal early and apply the brake. Below are detailed introductions to the gear positions of an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. The R gear is the reverse gear. When this gear is engaged, it connects the hydraulic system's reverse gear oil circuit, causing the drive wheels to rotate in reverse for backward movement. Never forcibly shift to the "R" gear when the vehicle hasn't come to a complete stop, as this may damage the transmission. 2. The N gear is the neutral gear. When neutral is engaged, the planetary gear system idles without power output. 3. The D gear is the drive gear. When the gearshift lever is in this position, the hydraulic control device automatically connects the corresponding forward gear oil circuit based on throttle opening signals and vehicle speed signals. It can automatically shift up or down according to driving speed changes, achieving automatic transmission functionality. 4. The P gear is the parking gear. It uses a mechanical device to lock the rotating parts of the vehicle's tires, preventing the car from moving.
