If a BMW run-flat tire has a nail puncture and the tire pressure is normal, it is safe to continue driving, indicating that the tire has not yet lost air. Tire Pressure Reset: A tire pressure reset is an operation performed on the tire pressure monitoring system after addressing a tire pressure fault to reset the system. Tire Pressure Reset Method: First, turn on the ignition, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. Tire Pressure Monitoring Light: The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol featuring an irregular circle with no top seal, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside. When the tire pressure monitoring light illuminates, it indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure is generally caused by one of the following three reasons: 1. Abnormal Tire Pressure: The system typically alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In such cases, inspect the tire and adjust the pressure accordingly. 2. Tire Pressure Monitoring Not Reset: After inflating the tire, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the system retains the old data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to stay on. Simply perform a tire pressure reset to resolve this. 3. Damaged Tire Pressure Sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving (e.g., by impact), the tire pressure fault light may also illuminate. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

Can an A1 driver's license be used until age 65?

No, it can only be used until age 60. Here are the relevant details: Introduction to Age-Based Downgrading: According to driver's license regulations, drivers aged 60 or above are not permitted to operate large buses, tow trucks, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams. This means that holders of A-class, B-class, N, or P licenses aged 60 or above must downgrade to C1 or C2 licenses. Even if the downgrade procedure is not completed, they cannot continue driving the aforementioned non-compliant vehicle types. Introduction to Application Requirements: C-class licenses can only be obtained at age 18, while B-class licenses require at least 3 years of C1 driving experience, and A-class licenses require at least 5 years of B-class license possession. This means an A-class license can be used for a maximum of 34 years, and a B-class license for up to 39 years.

Is it considered hit-and-run if you leave immediately after hitting a guardrail?

Leaving after hitting a guardrail is considered hit-and-run. The penalties for hit-and-run and the handling methods for hitting a guardrail are as follows: Penalties for hit-and-run: For hit-and-run, the penalties range from deducting 12 points, a fine, and up to 15 days of detention for minor cases, to revocation of the motor vehicle driver's license and a lifetime ban from re-obtaining it, or even imprisonment for severe cases. Handling methods for hitting a guardrail: After hitting an isolation guardrail, it is necessary to report to the police promptly and compensate for the damage. As for the specific penalties for hit-and-run after hitting an isolation guardrail, the severity of the situation is key. If it is only a minor scrape on the guardrail and the perpetrator has a good attitude, then the issue is not significant. However, if the guardrail is hit or damaged, affecting the safety of other drivers, the consequences can be severe.

Does a Broken Taillight Cover Need to Be Replaced?

A broken taillight cover cannot be repaired and needs to be replaced with a new one. The impacts of a broken taillight cover and the reasons for water ingress in the taillight are as follows: Impacts of a Broken Taillight Cover: If a broken taillight cover is not replaced, water will enter the taillight during rain, leading to more severe malfunctions. Additionally, some car lights are integrated units where the cover cannot be detached. In such cases, a damaged cover necessitates replacing the entire taillight, which can be costly. Therefore, it is important to protect your car's light covers while driving to minimize the risk of damage. Reasons for Water Ingress in Taillights: During regular use, if water enters the taillight, it is mostly due to aging seals around the cover. In this situation, replacing the cover or the entire taillight is also required.

Can Good Engine Oil Improve Power?

Good engine oil can enhance engine power. Below is relevant information about engine oil: Functions of Engine Oil: Engine oil is a lubricant for engines, with a density of approximately 0.91×10kg/m3. It serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil, imparting new characteristics. Additives are an essential part of the lubricant. Classification of Engine Oil: Engine oils on the market can be broadly categorized into mineral oil and synthetic oil based on their base oil (vegetable oil is not considered due to its scarcity). Synthetic oils are further divided into full synthetic and semi-synthetic.

How many RPM does the Civic CVT reach when flooring the accelerator pedal momentarily?

The Civic CVT reaches 3000 RPM when flooring the accelerator pedal momentarily. Reasons why drivers are not recommended to use flooring the accelerator pedal: Using flooring the accelerator pedal not only compromises driving safety but also damages the car's engine and transmission, increasing fuel consumption. If wheel spin occurs, the operation should be stopped immediately. At this point, the vehicle speed is generally not high, and to prevent further loss of control, do not blindly apply the brakes. Simply lifting the accelerator pedal completely and refraining from accelerating can generally restore control. Then, decide whether to apply the brakes based on the situation. Long-term use of flooring the accelerator pedal can have the following effects on the car: First, when the car is still in a cold state, the engine oil cannot effectively lubricate all components. Although the oil can reach various parts instantly when the engine starts, these are residual old oil, which is not only minimal in quantity but also at a low temperature and high viscosity, making it unsuitable for immediate driving. If flooring the accelerator pedal is applied at this time, the engine operates under load without sufficient protection, potentially causing irreparable damage to components. Second, shifting gears only when the RPM reaches the redline during driving can harm the transmission. The redline on the tachometer is set by the manufacturer to indicate the transmission's maximum tolerance. Prolonged redline shifting can easily accelerate gear wear. Third, the manufacturing standards of different car manufacturers vary, and some cars are of poor quality and unsuitable for long-term aggressive driving. Long-term aggressive driving tests the vehicle's fuel supply system, lubrication system, cooling system, etc., requiring a comprehensive assessment of whether the vehicle can withstand such driving. At least the above conditions must be considered to make a basic judgment on whether the vehicle will be affected by long-term aggressive driving. To prolong the car's lifespan, minimize the use of flooring the accelerator pedal. Fourth, domestic traffic and road conditions do not allow for unrestricted flooring of the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle speed increases rapidly, the next step often becomes hard braking. Like hard acceleration, excessive braking can also reduce the lifespan of brake pads and the motor.

What is the full score for Subject 2, and what is the passing score?

Subject 2 has a full score of 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The following conditions must be met to pass the exam: ① For applicants of large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 is required; ② For other types of driving licenses, a score of 80 is required. The test items for small vehicles C1 and C2 include reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope (canceled for C2), turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve (commonly known as the S-curve) as five mandatory items (some regions have a sixth item: high-speed card collection). The test items for large vehicles A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 include stake test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, passing a single-plank bridge, driving on a curve, turning at a right angle, passing a width-limited gate, passing continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. If you fail the Subject 2 exam on the first attempt, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the exam process is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the exam after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of rescheduling for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests must not exceed five times. If the fifth rescheduled exam is still failed, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.
