Tire adhesion to asphalt has no impact. Methods to remove asphalt from tires: 1. The owner can purchase several bottles of tar remover and spray them on the asphalt-stained tires, then rinse with a car wash water gun; 2. The owner can remove the asphalt-stained tires, pour boiling water over them, and scrub clean with a brush. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims for various vehicles or machinery, designed to roll on the ground. They cushion external impacts, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain vehicle driving performance. Used under complex and harsh conditions, tires endure various deformations, load forces, and high and low temperatures during operation, featuring high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning performance.

I've encountered situations where my tires got stuck with asphalt several times while driving, and it mainly affects grip and safety. Especially on rainy days or during high-speed driving, asphalt sticking to the tread reduces the friction coefficient, making it prone to skidding. Over time, these sticky substances may also corrode the rubber material, accelerating tire aging or wear. I recommend removing it as soon as possible by spraying with a car-specific adhesive remover and gently wiping it off. Avoid using sharp tools to scrape it off to prevent damaging the tires. Usually, try to avoid parking on newly paved asphalt roads to reduce such troubles. Remember to check the tread every time you wash your car to ensure safer driving.

It's really unpleasant when tires get stuck with asphalt, and I often encounter this issue during the hot summer months. The asphalt melts and seeps into the tire treads, affecting drainage and braking performance. If too much asphalt sticks, you might feel some imbalance or increased noise while driving. Leaving it untreated for a long time can cause the tire surface to harden and crack, shortening its lifespan. Personally, I like to spray a neutral cleaner on it, let it soak for a few minutes, and then rinse it off with water. For prevention, driving around freshly paved road sections or applying a tire protective coating works well. Regular cleaning helps keep your car more durable.

I've experienced the frustration of tires covered in asphalt. Not only does it affect driving smoothness, but it also makes the wheels feel sluggish when turning. If not cleaned promptly, the sticky residue can dirty the rims and car body, increasing cleaning difficulty. I've found that soaking with hot water and soap, then wiping with a soft cloth is quite effective. Minor adhesion doesn't significantly impact safety, but extensive sticking requires caution about slipping on rainy days. Normally, just avoid parking near hot asphalt areas for simple maintenance.

What is Tested in Subject One?

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the content of Subject One includes: regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and regulations; traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on road traffic accident handling; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and cargo vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. As per the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," after passing Subject One, the validity period of the learning permit is three years, but the expiration date must not exceed the upper age limit for application. Applicants must complete Subject Two and Subject Three within the validity period. If the exams are not completed within the validity period, the passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject One, also known as the theoretical exam or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The exam covers theoretical driving basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is computer-based with a time limit of 45 minutes. It consists of 100 single-choice and true/false questions, each worth one point. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the exam and end the test. Notes for Subject One Exam: Candidates should dress appropriately (no slippers), avoid bringing electronic devices or bags into the exam hall, carry their ID cards, and queue to enter the waiting area. Observe the instructions and procedures on the screen and store personal items in lockers before entering the exam hall. Upon entry, candidates will be assigned seats at the identity verification counter. Once seated, the exam begins. Ensure the camera is aligned correctly and follow exam discipline. If failed, a retake is available on the same day; failing again requires re-registration. After the exam, queue to collect the score report and sign it—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times Subject One can be scheduled. Each subject allows one retake if failed. If the retake is not attended or is failed, the exam process ends, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject Two and Subject Three allow only five attempts. If the Subject Three safety and civilized driving knowledge test is failed, the passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject Two is the field driving skills test; Subject Three includes two parts: road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security’s Order No. 123) does not include "Subject Four."

How to Solve the Problem of a Scooter Not Starting and Making Noise?

If it is confirmed that the battery has sufficient power and the wiring is in good condition, you can use a pair of pliers or another metal tool to directly connect the two thick wire terminals of the relay. Use the kick starter to press the starting lever. If it can be pressed and the engine can rotate (without starting), it means the engine is not the issue. Check if the battery connections are loose or if the battery terminals are corroded. You can scrape both the battery wires and the terminals.

How to control speed for a smooth one-time passage through muddy sections?

Stop to check the road conditions, and try to choose flat, solid sections or those with ruts to pass through. Generally, drive in medium or low gear, hold the steering wheel steadily, maintain a constant speed with the accelerator pedal for a one-time passage, and avoid using the service brake as much as possible to prevent the entire vehicle from sliding.
