You cannot turn right on a straight arrow red light. For arrow traffic signals, you are only allowed to turn right when the right-turn arrow is green, and you must be in the right-turn lane. If you are in a straight lane, you cannot turn right regardless of whether the arrow is red or green. Additional Information: 1. Motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle signal lights (without arrows): (1) When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not interfere with the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians; (2) When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed; (3) When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. 2. Lane signal lights (with arrows): (1) When the green arrow light is on, vehicles in the lane are permitted to proceed in the indicated direction; (2) When the red cross or arrow light is on, vehicles in the lane are prohibited from proceeding. The direction indicator signal lights indicate left turn, straight, and right turn with arrows pointing left, up, and right, respectively.

What are the 7 steps to start driving a car?

What are the 7 steps to start driving a car? 1. Press the clutch pedal deeply with your left foot; 2. Shift into first gear; 3. Turn on the left turn signal, as vehicles are usually parked on the right; 4. Honk the horn to alert surrounding vehicles or pedestrians; 5. Release the handbrake; 6. Maintain steady throttle before starting the car; 7. Once the car starts smoothly, the left foot can be lifted from the clutch pedal. The main control is to manage uphill resistance to prevent the car from rolling backward. Manual transmission cars can adapt to more situations compared to automatic transmission cars, but the starting procedure for manual transmission cars is more complex than that of automatic transmission cars. Whether waiting at a traffic light or starting on an uphill slope, stalling during startup is a very common phenomenon.

How early can a vehicle be inspected?

Vehicle inspection can be conducted up to three months in advance. The owner of the motor vehicle may apply for the inspection compliance mark at the vehicle registration authority up to three months before the expiration of the vehicle inspection validity period. Before applying, the owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. Vehicle inspection, also known as annual vehicle inspection, is a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the safety technical conditions for motor vehicle operation, aiming to promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. The timing of the annual vehicle inspection is based on the date of license plate issuance, which often coincides with the expiration of the insurance policy. If the insurance policy is due to expire within 15 days, it is essential to renew the insurance before participating in the inspection.

What is the symbol for high beam headlights?

The symbol for high beam headlights is a straight blue light emission line without any tilt on the dashboard, while the low beam symbol is a green light emission line angled downward. There may be variations across different brands and models, but this is generally the standard. Low beams are commonly used in daily driving, whereas high beams should only be activated under specific conditions. The light control mechanism is typically located on the left side of the steering wheel. Both high beam and low beam operations are performed on the left side, though the low beam switch may be on the left control lever or a separate rotary knob, while the high beam switch is always on the left control lever.
