Common Parallel Parking Methods?

There are generally 2 common parallel parking methods: 1. Fixed-point reversing method: When using this method, first drive past the parking space to assess whether your vehicle can fit. If confirmed suitable, drive forward until your car is roughly aligned with the front vehicle in the space, maintaining a lateral distance of about 0.5 meters. Adjust to keep proper distance from surrounding vehicles, then stop when your right mirror aligns with the B-pillar of the adjacent car. 2. Mirror reversing method: During reversing, control the vehicle's movement while observing the distance between the right rear wheel and curb through the right mirror. When appropriate, turn the steering wheel fully left to bring the car close to the curb while maintaining enough space to straighten the vehicle. Monitor the entire body through mirrors; when most of the car enters the space, use head-turning or parking sensors to judge distance from the rear vehicle.

Can I call a tow truck to remove a blocking vehicle?

If an owner parks their vehicle at the entrance of a residential area and blocks the gate, you can first negotiate with the owner to move the vehicle. If the driver is not present or refuses to move the vehicle, law enforcement authorities can take towing measures. Motor vehicles that are parked or temporarily stopped in violation of regulations, affecting the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians, constitute traffic violations and should be penalized. Additionally, if the driver is not present or refuses to move the vehicle, law enforcement authorities can take towing measures. According to Article 40 of the "Traffic Violation Penalty Procedures and Traffic Violation Handling Procedures": Under any of the following circumstances, the traffic management department of the public security authority and its traffic police officers may assign a recovery vehicle to tow the vehicle to a location that does not obstruct traffic or to a designated location: Illegally parked on the road with the driver not present or refusing to move the vehicle; Unable to drive due to a malfunction that cannot be immediately repaired, making it impossible to move the vehicle to a location that does not obstruct traffic; Unable to drive due to a traffic accident or requiring accident inspection and appraisal.

Can the vehicle still be checked on 12123 after the transfer is completed?

After the vehicle transfer is completed, it can no longer be checked on 12123. Since the vehicle's personal information involves some private details, the transfer of vehicle ownership cannot be queried via phone or website, hence it cannot be found on 12123. The required documents for vehicle transfer are as follows: Types of vehicle transfer: Individual to company: Vehicle license, registration certificate, vehicle invoice, seller's ID card, seller's photo at the DMV, vehicle inspection (no violations), company organization code certificate copy with official seal (2 copies), application with official seal, blank paper with official seal. Company to company: Vehicle registration certificate, valid compulsory insurance, both parties' enterprise code certificates and official seals (copy, buyer's original), sales agreement, issuance of used car transaction invoice; fill out the transfer form at the DMV and process at the relevant window. Individual to individual: Vehicle license, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle purchase tax certificate, road maintenance fee receipt, insurance policy, vehicle and vessel use tax certificate, ID card.

What are the detailed standards for returning or exchanging cars under the new automotive three-guarantee policy?

The new regulations clearly stipulate that within 7 days from the start of the three-guarantee validity period for a household vehicle, if there is a quality issue requiring the replacement of the engine, transmission, power battery, drive motor, or their major components, consumers can choose to exchange the vehicle or request a refund by presenting the purchase invoice and the three-guarantee certificate. The seller must provide a free exchange or refund. The new regulations also introduce corresponding compensation requirements for consumers requesting a refund or exchange. It is explicitly stated that consumers must pay a usage compensation fee to the seller when exchanging or returning a household vehicle. The compensation fee is calculated as follows: Compensation Fee = Vehicle Price (yuan) × Mileage (km) / 1000 (km) × n. Here, the usage compensation coefficient 'n' is determined and clearly indicated on the three-guarantee certificate by the manufacturer. Compared to the 2013 version, the new regulation adjusts the compensation coefficient 'n' from the range of '0.5%-0.8%' to no more than 0.5%. This change lowers the upper limit of compensation fees that sellers can charge consumers who qualify for the '7-day refund or exchange' policy, thereby reducing the financial burden on consumers. The new regulations impose stricter three-guarantee responsibilities on businesses. Under the new policy, when sellers process a refund or exchange, they must compensate consumers for vehicle registration fees, decoration costs, and related service fees. Manufacturers, sellers, and repairers are prohibited from restricting consumers' freedom to choose maintenance and service providers and cannot use this as a reason to deny three-guarantee responsibilities. Additionally, the new regulation reduces the threshold for exchanging a vehicle due to repeated repairs from 'more than 5 repairs for the same issue or a cumulative repair time exceeding 35 days' to 'more than 4 repairs or 30 days' within the three-guarantee period.

Can Diesel and Gasoline Be Mixed and Still Used?

No, it cannot be used. If diesel is added to a gasoline engine, the engine piston compression will cause the diesel to ignite prematurely, leading to knocking and cylinder scoring. The piston has not yet reached the top of its stroke, but the diesel has already exploded and transmitted power. It's like an athlete giving their all in the final sprint, about to reach the finish line, when suddenly someone rushes out and forcefully pushes them back. This kind of damage to the engine is severe. Below is relevant information: Hazards: It can easily cause carbon buildup inside the engine. Reason: The fuel injector pressure in a gasoline engine is not as high as that in a diesel engine. Therefore, when diesel is added to a gasoline engine, the injected diesel cannot be fully atomized, meaning some of it remains in liquid form and is directly sprayed into the cylinder. This leads to incomplete combustion, resulting in carbon buildup and even clogging the fuel injectors.
