Deep road water can affect the car and may cause the engine to stall. On rainy days when road water is deep, the following precautions should be taken while driving: 1. Drive slowly and maintain a reasonable distance: Drive straight and at a low speed in the rain. Especially on highways, it is best to keep the speed below 30km/h and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front, avoiding large trucks. In heavy rain, try to keep a certain distance from the vehicle ahead, avoid following too closely, and refrain from frequent overtaking. 2. Maintain good visibility: In addition to cautious driving, promptly turn on the windshield wipers when driving in the rain. In dim weather, also turn on the low beams and fog lights. If there is frost on the front windshield, turn on the air conditioning and direct the cold air toward the windshield. If the rear windshield has frost, turn on the rear windshield heater to quickly eliminate the frost and avoid obstructing the view of vehicles behind. 3. How to handle wheel skidding: If the front wheels skid in the rain, steer in the opposite direction of the skid. If the rear wheels skid, steer in the same direction as the skid, never the opposite. At the same time, ensure the wipers are functioning properly to maintain clear visibility at all times.

What percentage of speeding is not allowed on highways?

On highways, vehicles exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% will not be penalized or receive demerit points, but will be given a warning.

For speeding between 50% and 70%, a fine of 1,000 RMB and 6 demerit points will be applied. If the speed exceeds 70% over the limit, in addition to a fine of 2,000 RMB, the driver's license will be revoked. Vehicles on highways can travel at speeds of 120 kilometers per hour or higher. Highways typically have four or more lanes with a central divider, and pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles are prohibited from entering. Highways are classified as high-grade roads, designed specifically for high-speed vehicular traffic, with an average annual daily traffic volume exceeding 25,000 passenger cars. All access points are controlled. The construction of highways is aimed at meeting the demands of industrialization and urbanization. With the continuous advancement of automotive technology, the need for highways has grown significantly, aligning with the trends of vehicle lightweighting and increased load capacity.

Where are the brake and accelerator positions in a sedan?

In a sedan, the brake is positioned in the middle, and the accelerator is on the far right. Tips for distinguishing between the brake and accelerator: 1. Left brake, right accelerator: The left pedal is the brake, and the right one is the accelerator—establish this as a natural and firm concept in your mind. 2. Heel under the brake: Drivers should develop the habit of placing their heel directly below the brake pedal, allowing them to brake immediately in emergencies. 3. Press the accelerator diagonally and the brake straight: Since the heel is positioned directly below the brake pedal, pressing the brake involves a vertical downward motion, while the accelerator is to the right of the brake, requiring the toes to move rightward diagonally without moving the heel. 4. Rest your foot on the brake when idle: When not accelerating, keep your foot on the brake pedal to be ready for braking at any moment. Placing it near the accelerator might lead to accidental pressing in a panic, whereas keeping it on the brake ensures better preparedness for sudden situations.

Does a 3-point deduction on the driver's license affect the annual vehicle inspection?

C licenses do not require annual inspection. For AB licenses with a 3-point deduction, the annual inspection is allowed, but the holder must participate in study sessions and examinations during the inspection. Vehicle inspection regulations: For passenger vehicles used for commercial purposes, inspections are required once a year within the first 5 years, and every 6 months thereafter. For trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspections are required once a year within the first 10 years, and every 6 months thereafter. For small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspections are required once every 2 years within the first 6 years, once a year thereafter, and every 6 months after 15 years. Consequences of failing to attend the annual inspection on time: Vehicles that do not undergo the annual inspection on time are not allowed on the road. Driving such vehicles will result in a 3-point deduction and a fine. In the event of a traffic accident involving a vehicle that has not undergone the annual inspection, the party involved will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not provide compensation.
