Traffic violations need to be handled even if the car is not in use. Below are the consequences of not handling violations: Late fees penalty: If the violation was issued on the spot by a traffic officer with your driver's license and vehicle registration, and it's not handled within 15 days, late fees will be charged without additional penalty points. The late fee is 3% per day, up to the original fine amount. License and vehicle seizure: If there are more than 3 unhandled violations and you're caught driving, your driver's license may be confiscated, and in severe cases, your vehicle may be impounded. If there are more than 10 unhandled traffic violations, the traffic management department can legally impound the vehicle. Failed vehicle inspection: Unhandled violations will prevent your vehicle from passing annual, quarterly, or comprehensive inspections. If violations are not cleared before the inspection, the vehicle will not pass. The inspection date is marked on the vehicle registration; generally, you can have the inspection done up to three months in advance.

What Causes Tire Bulges?

Tire bulges are primarily caused by excessive air pressure during use, which reduces the tire's contact area with the ground and leads to premature wear. During operation, rolling acceleration or poor heat dissipation can cause the tread temperature to rise. Tire bulges are categorized into two types: ply break bulges and separation bulges. Separation bulges mainly include crown separation, shoulder separation, and bead separation. Crown separation primarily manifests as delamination at the top of the tread (known as the crown surface). Shoulder separation is a type of sidewall bulge, which can be localized or extensive, commonly occurring between the tread and the sidewall. Bead separation mainly refers to radial tires for heavy loads, typically showing as detachment around the steel rim.

What Causes Car Brake Shuddering?

The causes of car brake shuddering include: uneven brake discs, mounting surfaces of the hub and hat, manufacturing errors in brake discs, uneven torque of split disc and hat bolts, improper bedding-in of brake pads, and driving habits. The required flatness precision for car brake discs, hub mounting surfaces, and hat mounting surfaces is extremely high. Any unevenness exceeding 0.15mm among these three components can cause brake shuddering. In such cases, rust needs to be ground off and the hub surface must be thoroughly cleaned. Low-quality brake disc kits may have significant manufacturing errors that exceed product safety standards, so high-precision, high-quality products should be selected when choosing brake disc components. Improper bedding-in of brake pads can also lead to brake shuddering. Personal driving habits also affect braking performance. During driving, avoid prolonged or continuous brake application, as this may cause poor contact between brake pads and discs when stopping, resulting in brake shuddering.

What Functions Should a Clutch Have?

The functions that a clutch should have are: 1. Temporarily disconnect the connection between the engine and the transmission system, facilitating engine startup and gear shifting in the transmission, ensuring smooth operation during gear changes in the transmission system; 2. Limit the maximum torque that the transmission system can withstand; 3. Ensure the car can start smoothly. The working principle of a clutch is: The driving part and the driven part of the clutch transmit torque through the friction between contact surfaces, or use liquid as a transmission medium (hydraulic coupling) or magnetic transmission (electromagnetic clutch), allowing temporary separation and gradual engagement between the two, while permitting mutual rotation of both parts during the transmission process.

Will the insurance company compensate if the vehicle's annual inspection is overdue?

If a vehicle's annual inspection is overdue and an accident occurs, the insurance company is not required to compensate. According to the motor vehicle third-party liability insurance clause, the insurer is not liable for compensation in the event of a traffic accident if the insured vehicle has not undergone the required annual inspection, fails the inspection, or lacks other valid driving documents. This means the insurance contract only applies to qualified and legally compliant vehicles. In addition to refusing compensation for traffic accidents involving vehicles with overdue inspections, insurance companies also deny claims for lost vehicles under the same circumstances. For vehicles that have not undergone annual inspection, traffic police can impose a fine and deduct 3 points from the driver's license according to the Road Traffic Safety Law, and the vehicle may also be temporarily impounded.
