Currently, there is no standardized definition for what constitutes an accident vehicle, and perspectives vary slightly among different industry professionals. For instance, used car dealers typically only classify vehicles involved in major accidents as accident vehicles, while some sectors adopt much stricter criteria, where even minor scratches or dents may qualify a car as an accident vehicle. Below are some common criteria for identifying accident vehicles: 1. Engine Compartment Damage: Vehicles that have sustained damage to the engine compartment or passenger compartment due to impact. 2. Rear Quarter Panel: Vehicles where the rear quarter panel has been damaged by impact exceeding one-third of its area. 3. Frame Rails: Vehicles with welded, cut, reshaped, or deformed frame rails.

Why Does the Car Smell Strongly of Gasoline When Starting?

The reasons for a strong gasoline smell when starting the car are: 1. Insufficient air intake in the car's throttle, leading to incorrect air flow information; 2. Excessive carbon buildup in the cylinder combustion chamber and pistons, causing insufficient cylinder pressure; 3. Excessive carbon buildup inside the engine, resulting in poor atomization of the air-fuel mixture; 4. Leakage in the gasoline pipe, forming sludge at the pipe connections, with the odor entering the car through the air conditioning system. Solutions for a strong gasoline smell when starting the car include: 1. Replace the rubber hoses of the gasoline purification carbon canister; 2. Tighten or repair the gasoline pipe connections; 3. Repair or reinstall the fuel pump; 4. Avoid filling the car's fuel tank too full.

What is the fault when a diesel engine emits black smoke?

Diesel engine emits black smoke due to poor atomization of diesel or incomplete combustion. The reasons why a diesel engine is difficult to start are: 1. Fault in the fuel supply system; 2. Insufficient gas pressure in the combustion chamber; 3. No fuel in the tank or forgetting to open the tank switch; 4. Blockage in the pipeline or filter; 5. Wear in the fuel injection pump; 6. Needle valve in the fuel injector stuck. Diesel engines are divided into: 1. Spark ignition engine: A gasoline engine injects gasoline into the intake pipe, mixes it with air to form a combustible mixture, which then enters the cylinder and is ignited by the spark plug to expand and perform work; 2. Compression ignition engine: A diesel engine directly injects diesel into the engine cylinder through the fuel injection pump and nozzle, where it mixes uniformly with the compressed air in the cylinder and self-ignites under high temperature and pressure, pushing the piston to perform work.

What is the impact of the implementation of the China VI standard on China V vehicles?

There is no impact on the travel of China V vehicles, and they can be used normally. The following is an introduction to the impact of the China VI standard on other vehicles: 1. Firstly, China III vehicles may face mandatory scrapping. In fact, many regions have already started restricting the use of China III vehicles, while China II vehicles have been completely and forcibly scrapped. After the formal implementation of the China VI standard, China III vehicles are expected to follow the same fate as China II vehicles, heading towards scrapping. 2. Secondly, the resale value of China V and below vehicles will be significantly reduced. Due to the restrictions of the China VI standard, it will be difficult for China IV vehicles to get licensed, and the price drop of China V vehicles is also inevitable. 3. With the decrease, there will certainly be an increase. The price of China VI vehicles is bound to rise due to the increased R&D costs of automakers, which also increases the cost for consumers to purchase vehicles.

Can You Practice Driving at Driving Schools During National Day?

During National Day, some places have holidays while others don't. You can inquire with the staff at your local driving school. According to the standard progress requirements, obtaining a full driver's license generally takes no less than 50 days. However, in reality, some people get their license in one month, while others may take several months or even a year. The 2021 driving test regulations include the following changes: Test subject adjustments: For small automatic transmission vehicles, the "hill start" item has been removed from the subject two test, reducing the test content from five items to four. This change aims to better align with actual driving requirements and reduce the burden on test-takers. Test scheduling adjustments: For those obtaining a small automatic transmission vehicle license, the waiting period between passing subject one and scheduling subject three has been shortened from 30 days to 20 days. For those upgrading to large or medium-sized passenger or truck licenses, the waiting period has been reduced from 40 days to 30 days.
