Temporary parking on the roadside requires turning on the parking lights. Below is relevant information about temporary roadside parking: 1. Definition: Vehicles briefly stop on the right side of the road in the direction of traffic on non-prohibited road surfaces without the driver leaving the vehicle. The term "temporary" does not specify a fixed duration. Any brief stop where the driver remains in the vehicle is considered temporary parking. However, if traffic officers or the driver deem it obstructive, the vehicle must move promptly to avoid hindering others. 2. Relevant regulations: Doors must not be opened and passengers must not enter or exit before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Opening doors must not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Parking is prohibited in areas with pedestrian guardrails (green barriers), crosswalks, construction zones (except for construction vehicles), and opposite obstacles.

Is It Harmful If Half of the Car Tire Is Submerged in Water?

Generally, it is not harmful if half of the car tire is submerged in water, as long as water does not enter the interior of the vehicle. If water enters the interior and remains for a certain period, it may cause short circuits and damage electrical components. In case of water submersion, promptly open the hood, disconnect the battery, and drain the water by methods such as using a high-pressure air pump to blow it dry or allowing it to air-dry naturally. Avoid starting the engine under any circumstances. There are three scenarios of car submersion: 1. Half-wheel height: When water reaches half the height of the car's wheel. If the seals are intact, water usually does not enter. However, if submerged for an extended period or if the seals are compromised, water may seep in. 2. Submersion up to the floor mats: This is serious and can damage the engine and electrical systems. Most of the time, if the water level does not exceed the cabin floor, the damage is minimal. 3. Submersion up to the exhaust pipe: The car can still drive at a low gear with steady speed. When the engine is running, it forces exhaust gases out, creating higher pressure inside the exhaust pipe than the external water pressure. Thus, even if the exhaust pipe is submerged, the engine will not stall. In this situation, the car should be driven in a low gear at a steady speed to pass through. In low gear, the engine has sufficient power to overcome additional resistance.
