When there is a U-turn sign, you need to follow the left-turn traffic light signal to make a U-turn. A U-turn is only permitted when the left-turn signal is green. Permissible U-turn scenarios are as follows: Presence of U-turn signal lights or signs: At intersections with U-turn signal lights, a U-turn is allowed when the U-turn indicator is green. At intersections with U-turn signs or lanes marked with U-turn indicators, a U-turn can be made after ensuring the safety of yourself and others. No U-turn sign but left turns are allowed (no prohibition of U-turn signs or markings): Vehicles can make a U-turn at intersections where left turns are permitted and there are no prohibitive U-turn signs or markings. It's important to note that vehicles must proceed according to the left-turn lane signal without disrupting the normal flow of other vehicles. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left-turn waiting area, you may enter the waiting area when the straight-through signal is green and wait until the left-turn signal turns green to complete the U-turn. U-turns are allowed at dashed lines: Whether it's a white or yellow dashed line, U-turns are permitted. For double yellow lines with one solid and one dashed, check if your side is the dashed line; if so, a U-turn is allowed safely. If it's a solid line, U-turns are prohibited. At intersections with such markings, U-turns can be made on the dashed side without crossing the stop line ahead. U-turns are allowed at yellow grid lines: Parking is prohibited in yellow grid areas, but as long as there is no central barrier, you can make a U-turn here after yielding to normally moving vehicles. U-turns are allowed on the dashed side of a green belt: When the front of the green belt is marked with a dashed line, vehicles on that side can make a U-turn from there. If the green belt front is a solid line, vehicles must follow the traffic signal, cross the zebra crossing before making a U-turn, and must not cross the solid line or zebra crossing to turn.

How to Determine the Orientation of a Fuel Filter Without an Arrow?

Fuel filters without arrows typically have English inscriptions on them, with one side marked as 'in' (inlet pipe) and the other as 'out' (outlet pipe). The outlet is usually closer to the bulging part of the filter. Automotive Filters: Filters that remove impurities or gases. Common automotive filters include: air filters, cabin air filters, oil filters, and fuel filters. Each type of filter is designed to remove different kinds of impurities, but generally, they filter either air or liquid contaminants. Characteristics of Automotive Filters: High filtration efficiency (effective cleaning); long service life (large contaminant holding capacity); high resistance to vibration and durability, preventing dust leakage; water resistance, ensuring no blockage of air intake; easy and lightweight installation and removal.

How to use Kunlun Fuel Additive?

Add the fuel additive to an almost empty fuel tank, then fill up with gasoline. Notes: If the fuel tank capacity exceeds 60 liters of gasoline, two bottles of fuel additive need to be added. Do not use excessively. Fuel Additive: It is a common name for the third generation of gasoline detergent (also known as gasoline detergent or fuel additive), designed to address carbon deposit issues in the fuel system of fuel-injected vehicles, quickly restore the engine to optimal performance, and compensate for certain deficiencies in gasoline properties while imparting new beneficial characteristics (improved atomization, reduced wear, engine protection, lower emissions, etc.).

What Causes No Sound When Starting the Car and Failure to Ignite?

When there is no sound when starting the car and it fails to ignite, it is usually due to an issue with the vehicle's battery. Function of the Battery: Before starting, a motor vehicle requires power support from the battery. The battery plays a crucial role in the ignition process of the vehicle. During daily use, it is essential to regularly check the battery's condition. Solution: You can replace the battery with a different model, but the new battery should have a higher capacity than the original one to ensure normal vehicle operation. If the vehicle is equipped with an engine auto start-stop system, the replacement battery must also support this function. Otherwise, the related features will not work, and it may affect the battery's lifespan.

Why Do Tires Fall Off During a Car Collision?

Tires fall off during a car collision due to external force impact, tire damage, and improper vehicle usage. Hazards of tire detachment: It poses safety risks to the vehicle itself and the surrounding environment. The stability of a truck significantly deteriorates after a tire detachment, which can easily lead to loss of control and accidents. The detached tire may also force following vehicles to make sudden evasive maneuvers, severely disrupting their normal driving. Post-collision procedures: Move to a location that does not obstruct traffic to handle compensation matters independently. Report the incident to the police and your insurance company for damage assessment by the insurer and liability determination by traffic police.

What are the new regulations regarding electric motorcycles?

New regulations for electric motorcycles include the cancellation of purchase tax, simplified licensing procedures, and reduced difficulty in driving tests. Electric motorcycle purchase tax: If an electric motorcycle is classified as a taxable vehicle, it is subject to approximately a 10% purchase tax. Electric motorcycle classification criteria: Speed exceeding 50 kilometers per hour. Classification of electric vehicles: Electric vehicles can be categorized by the number of wheels and structural type into electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric unicycles, electric four-wheelers, electric tricycles, and electric scooters. Based on power source, they can be classified as pure electric vehicles, range-extended electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles. According to the method of power supply, they can be divided into two major categories: one that connects to an external power source to obtain electricity, and the other that uses fuel cells or energy storage devices (such as storage batteries or supercapacitors) as the power source. By drive type, they can be classified as pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles (series, parallel, and series-parallel), and fuel cell electric vehicles.
