According to Article 38 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, when the yellow light at an intersection is flashing, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass. If the yellow light is already on and you continue to force your way through, being caught by a camera in this situation will also count as running a red light. According to the relevant provisions in Article 10 of the Regulations on the Handling Procedures for Road Traffic Safety Violations, motor vehicle drivers who violate traffic signal lights at intersections will be penalized with 6 points. Additionally, according to the relevant provisions in Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, a fine may also be imposed. Criteria for determining running a red light: Electronic eyes will take three photos as the basis for determining a red light violation: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered running a red light. According to Article 11 of the Regulations on the Handling Procedures for Road Traffic Safety Violations, if you cross the stop line when the red light is on but manage to stop the vehicle even if you have already crossed the line, it will not be considered running a red light. However, it will be considered stopping beyond the line, and according to traffic laws, this is classified as driving or stopping at an intersection not in accordance with regulations, resulting in a 3-point penalty. How to avoid running a red light while driving: When there are arrow signal lights, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the circular lights; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the green light just flashes, if you are close and moving fast, you should pass because you might not be able to stop in time and cross the stop line; if you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line, or encounter an intersection.

Can car maintenance be done outside of 4S shops?

According to regulations, car maintenance does not have to be performed at 4S shops, and car owners have the right to choose maintenance service providers. More details are as follows: 1. The "Three Guarantees Policy" for automobiles stipulates that if quality issues arise with household cars not maintained at manufacturer-authorized 4S shops, and these issues are not causally related to the maintenance, and no damage is caused by maintenance at other 4S shops, the dealer cannot be exempted from the three guarantees responsibility. Automakers linking warranty coverage to maintenance at 4S shops and mandating maintenance at 4S shops constitutes an unfair clause. 2. For new cars under warranty, if maintenance (such as oil, oil filter, or air filter changes) is performed outside, some 4S shops may claim that issues are caused by substandard oil or filters replaced elsewhere, thus voiding the warranty. Since fluid-related matters are difficult to verify, this can be troublesome. It is recommended that fluid replacements in critical systems like powertrain, brakes, and transmission be done at 4S shops, while consumables like cabin air filters can be replaced elsewhere.

What Causes the Squeaking Sound When Driving?

When a car makes a squeaking sound while driving, it is most likely due to an issue with the engine belt. First, check the tightness of the engine belt. You can try pinching the drive belt with your fingers and twisting it. Note that this operation should be performed when the engine is cool. The twist angle should generally be below 90 degrees; otherwise, adjustment is needed. Below is an extended introduction to engine belts: 1. The timing belt in a car is responsible for opening the valves. If the valves open improperly, they can "hit the cylinder," causing the engine to fail instantly. Once the timing belt breaks, the engine will be immediately ruined, so it is essential to replace the timing belt regularly. Engine belts are divided into timing belts and water pump belts. Timing mechanisms can use either belts or chains. Chains are maintenance-free and do not require attention during the vehicle's lifespan, whereas belts, being rubber components, will age and need replacement. The replacement interval for belts generally ranges between 50,000 to 120,000 kilometers. 2. If the timing belt reaches the manufacturer's recommended replacement mileage, it is advisable to replace it, as a broken timing belt can cause the camshaft to damage the valves, leading to expensive repairs. The water pump belt typically needs replacement every 50,000 kilometers. If there is a squeaking sound during startup or acceleration, it is often due to insufficient tension in the water pump belt. If the belt is not severely aged, the issue can be resolved by adjusting the tension, and the belt can continue to be used. Even if the water pump belt exceeds the manufacturer's recommended mileage, it can still be used if it is not severely aged, but replacement may be necessary depending on the condition.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the Buick Envision?

The minimum ground clearance of the Buick Envision is 188mm. Below is some knowledge about minimum ground clearance. Impact of minimum ground clearance on driving: Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the road surface when the car is fully loaded. It indicates the vehicle's ability to overcome obstacles (such as rocks, etc.). The smaller the ground clearance, the poorer the ability to overcome obstacles. Sedans generally travel on flat urban roads, so they have smaller ground clearance. Off-road vehicles have larger minimum ground clearance to overcome larger obstacles. Design considerations for minimum ground clearance: The design of minimum ground clearance must consider the passability of loading and unloading platforms during transportation, as well as the possibility of avoiding scraping when the car is close to the edge of a regular sidewalk. If sales are restricted to a specific country or region, local road quality conditions must also be taken into account. Additionally, the value of minimum ground clearance has certain limitations, as it is related to the vehicle's function and aerodynamics. For example, sports cars have relatively small minimum ground clearance, while SUVs have relatively large minimum ground clearance.
