Does registering with Didi make the vehicle a commercial vehicle?

How to Judge Distance Using the Left Rearview Mirror?

Method for judging distance with the left rearview mirror: First, imagine a vertical line dividing the left quarter of the left rearview mirror from top to bottom. This line serves as the boundary - the left quarter is the danger zone, while the right three-quarters is the safe zone. When the body of the rear vehicle enters the danger zone on the left side of the mirror, it indicates the rear vehicle is extremely close to your car. When the rear vehicle's body approaches the imaginary line, at the boundary between the safe and danger zones, the distance between vehicles is approximately 9 meters. When the rear vehicle is positioned at the center or right side of the rearview mirror, the distance between vehicles is about 20 meters, which is the standard safe zone where normal turning maneuvers can be performed without issues.

How to Determine if the Front of the Car Doesn't Cross the Line?

To determine whether the front of the car crosses the line, you can rely on reference points on the ground and on the car. You may use the rearview mirror on the driver's side door and the lines on the ground as reference points to judge whether the car crosses the line. At traffic light intersections, there are usually many lines on the ground. When slowing down after seeing the red light, drivers can observe the lines on the ground and their rearview mirrors. When learning driving techniques at driving schools, instructors teach students to use the lines on the ground as reference points, check the small rearview mirror on the car’s front, and also look at the large rearview mirror on the door. This method taught by driving instructors is quite effective. After repeated practice, students can smoothly park the car without crossing the lines.

What is the correct parking sequence for an automatic transmission vehicle?

Correct parking sequence for an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. While driving in D gear, apply the brake to decelerate until coming to a complete stop; 2. After stopping, shift the gear to P; 3. Engage the handbrake, release the foot brake, and turn off the engine. An automatic transmission refers to a system where the driver does not need to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. There are six gear positions on an automatic transmission vehicle, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L. Driving an automatic transmission vehicle typically only requires using the parking gear P, reverse gear R, neutral gear N, and drive gear D to meet general driving needs. However, in some special driving conditions, other functional gears may be required.
