Car needs mud flaps, here are the relevant introductions: 1. Protect the car paint: After installation, the mud flaps will protrude about 5 centimeters from the car body, effectively reducing mud splashing onto the side of the car, maintaining the car's appearance, and preventing flying stones from scratching the car's chassis and paint. 2. Can prevent mud: Mud splashing onto the tie rods and ball joints can cause premature rust. Less exposure to mud and gravel splashes can also reduce the occurrence of scratches, thus reducing the frequency of repainting. Moreover, it can prevent mud from splashing onto the tie rods and ball joints, causing premature rust. 3. Reduce the frequency of car washing: Vehicles equipped with mud flaps can prevent splashing mud and other debris, thus significantly reducing the frequency of car washing. Even if you want to wash the car yourself, it will be easier to clean the car body. Additionally, if you can't brake in time, rainwater and snow water won't splash onto pedestrians, avoiding disputes or misunderstandings.

What to Do If You Drive Without Carrying Your Driver's License?

When driving without carrying your driver's license, you can hand over your ID card to the traffic police for verification to check if you have a valid driver's license. The following are the procedures for driving without a license: 1. In regions with strict law enforcement, driving without a license may result in a symbolic deduction of 1-2 points and a fine of 50 yuan. In some cases, the vehicle may even be impounded for safety reasons until you bring the required documents to retrieve it. 2. In regions with less strict law enforcement, you usually only need to provide valid identification or your ID number to verify your eligibility to drive. A verbal warning may be given for forgetting to bring your license. Even if you are fined or penalized for not carrying your license, avoid arguing or shouting at the traffic police, as this could be considered disrupting public order or obstructing law enforcement. If you believe the penalty or point deduction is unjust, you can note the officer's badge number and file a complaint afterward or request an administrative review to overturn the penalty.

What Causes Steering Wheel Vibration When Car Speed Exceeds 120 km/h?

The reasons for steering wheel vibration when car speed exceeds 120 km/h are as follows: 1. It is caused by the force feedback generated after the tires come into contact with the ground; 2. A series of issues with the car itself, such as inward or outward tilting of the wheels, foreign objects on the tire surface, falling off of wheel balance weights, deformation of the wheel hub, excessive clearance of the steering linkage, insufficient tire pressure, etc. The specific problems with car tires are divided into the following points: 1. Uneven tire pressure among the four wheels (especially the front two wheels). 2. Uneven tread wear among the four wheels (one-sided tire wear). 3. The rims of the four wheels are not perfectly round (steel or aluminum rims deformed into an oval shape). 4. No alignment correction was performed after replacing the four wheels' tires. 5. A foreign object punctured one of the tires and formed a bulge on the tread, which is not noticeable at low speeds (absorbed by the suspension system), but once driving at high speeds, the resulting frequency vibration becomes very obvious.

What does the Subject 3 test include?

Subject 3 consists of 16 specific items as follows: vehicle preparation, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, going straight through intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing bus stops, passing school zones, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, pulling over, and night driving. The following are precautions for the Subject 3 test: 1. If a candidate fails the fingerprint verification, they must exit the vehicle to re-register their fingerprint before rejoining the queue for the test. 2. If a candidate's score falls below the passing threshold during the test, the system will automatically prompt them to pull over. Once the pulling over maneuver is completed, the system will indicate the next test. 3. After completing all required test items and driving a distance exceeding 3 kilometers, the system will automatically prompt the candidate to pull over. Upon hearing the instruction, the candidate should choose a clear curb (or solid road edge line) along the test route and safely complete the pulling over maneuver. The system will then announce the test results. 4. When walking around the vehicle to inspect its exterior and surroundings, maintain a distance within 1 meter from the vehicle body to ensure the accuracy of radar signal detection.

Does engine oil expire?

Engine oil does expire. Since engine oil is formulated by adding various chemical additives to a base oil, these chemical additives have their own shelf life. Therefore, selecting the right oil quality and adhering to the recommended oil change intervals are crucial. Once opened, engine oil has a shelf life of 6 to 9 months. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Engine oil is highly sensitive to moisture in the air, ambient temperature, and light exposure. Prolonged exposure to air or strong light can cause it to degrade. 2. Using engine oil past its shelf life can cause significant damage to the car's engine, such as reduced lubrication effectiveness and compromised cooling performance. 3. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, wear reduction, rust prevention, and corrosion protection for the engine.

What does the mute button in a car mean?

The MUTE button in a car is used to control the mute mode of multimedia. Here is a detailed introduction to the MUTE button: 1. When playing music, if you want to mute the sound, simply press the MUTE button in the car, which works the same way as the mute button on a phone. Of course, some car models support voice control; you can activate the car's voice assistant and command it to enable the windshield defogging function (specific operations should refer to the car's user manual). 2. The main function of the MUTE button is to mute, literally meaning 'dumb.' For example, when answering a phone call, pressing MUTE will make the sound disappear. However, it only mutes the sound; the song will continue to play and will not be stopped. Pressing the button again will restore the sound.

What is the Difference Between Automatic Parking and Remote Control Parking?

The following are the differences between automatic parking and remote control parking: 1. Pressing the automatic parking button allows the car to park, but it cannot sense danger and has weak detection of obstacles. On the other hand, remote control parking can cooperate with parking lots and people for fully automatic parking, which is very convenient. 2. The advantage of automatic parking is that it is easy to operate—just press a button, sit back, and relax to complete the parking. After installing an automatic parking system, the car will automatically detect the distance to surrounding vehicles and obstacles around the car during parking. Although remote control parking is very convenient, it also has many challenges. The first challenge is how to control the speed. When the driver stops pressing the accelerator, the car will enter an idle state, and the clutch must be used to control the speed. The second challenge is the shift-by-wire system—how to freely switch between P (Park) and D (Drive) gears. When parking, the car will be in P gear, and to restart the car, it must be shifted to D gear, which is very strenuous and inconvenient.
