Motor vehicles must yield to both pedestrians and electric bicycles when passing. Relevant regulations are introduced as follows: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law", motor vehicles should slow down when approaching a crosswalk; when encountering pedestrians crossing the crosswalk, they must stop and yield; when driving on roads without traffic signals and encountering pedestrians crossing the road, motor vehicles must give way. Violations of these rules will result in a 3-point penalty and a fine for the driver. Situations where yielding is not required include when pedestrians are on the crosswalk but separated by an empty lane from the vehicle, allowing the motor vehicle to proceed normally under safe conditions.

I've pondered this question many times as well. Those food delivery e-bikes often zip past the front of my car. The rule that motor vehicles must yield to pedestrians does include non-motorized vehicles like bicycles and wheelchairs, but e-bikes fall under the motor vehicle category. However, in practice, traffic police handle it case by case: if a delivery guy is pushing his e-bike across a crosswalk, failing to yield will definitely get you a ticket; but if he comes zooming through on his bike and an accident occurs, he'll bear primary responsibility. When driving near crosswalks, we still need to slow down regardless of whether it's pedestrians or cyclists - after all, hitting anyone would be terrible. Just last week at my residential compound's entrance, a car failed to yield to an old man pushing his e-bike, and the side mirror got knocked clean off.

Can Fuel-Powered Vehicles Spontaneously Combust?

Vehicles can spontaneously combust. During engine operation, the high temperature of the ignition coil can soften, age, or crack the insulation layer of the high-voltage ignition wires. This allows the high-voltage electricity to easily penetrate the insulation, leading to electrical leakage. The continuous rise in temperature at the leakage point can ignite leaked gasoline from the engine or carburetor, ultimately causing a fire. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. Grounding: In fire incidents caused by electrical faults, improper grounding is the primary factor. Many new car owners, eager to personalize their vehicles, may install alarms, upgrade audio systems, or modify appearances. Such modifications can lead to improper wiring connections, increasing the risk of spontaneous combustion. A common issue is the welding of starter switch contacts due to excessive heat, preventing the starter solenoid from disengaging. Prolonged cranking (beyond the safe limit of 5 seconds) can overheat the starter, potentially causing a fire. 2. Caution: Loose electrical connections or excessive local resistance can generate heat, igniting flammable materials. During driving or startup, backfiring may occur, which can also trigger fires. Insufficient lubrication in the engine's system causes metal parts to rub against each other, generating high temperatures. Contact with flammable materials under such conditions poses a fire hazard. Modern vehicles are typically equipped with a three-way catalytic converter, which operates at extremely high temperatures. Parking near flammable materials can thus result in a fire.

Why does the seat belt keep alarming?

Seat belt keeps alarming because the seat belt is not properly fastened, and the onboard computer will continue to sound the alarm. Here are the solutions for when the car still keeps alarming after the seat belt is inserted: 1. Reinsert: It may be that the seat belt is not fully inserted. You can unfasten the seat belt and reinsert it, trying several times to see if it can be resolved. 2. Replace the buckle: The seat belt buckle is damaged, making it impossible to insert the seat belt properly. You can listen for the sound of proper insertion when inserting the seat belt. If the buckle is damaged, replace it. 3. Restart: The onboard computer signals are disordered. Turn off the car and then restart it. 4. Check and repair: The seat belt sensor is faulty. This sensor is usually located under or inside the seat, which you can check. If the seat belt sensor is faulty, it is best to go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair.

What is the wading depth of the New Transit?

The maximum wading depth of the New Transit is 600mm. The wading depth of the New Transit is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally speaking, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact cars and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the New Transit is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth should not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before the vehicle enters the water, the auto start-stop function must be turned off to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in the water, which could cause severe damage due to water intake. Based on the passage of the vehicle ahead, assess the underwater road conditions and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. For roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, or other vehicles' wheels and doors as reference points to judge the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Know your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half of the tire height or the engine's air intake, do not enter the water recklessly; consider alternative routes instead.

How to Fix a Dent in a Car?

First, determine the material of the dented area on the car. The solution varies depending on the material. Below are the specific details: 1. For iron or metal materials: These usually have a granular coating on the surface. In this case, the only solution is to take it to a repair shop for panel beating and repainting. 2. For plastic materials: If the dent is not too severe, you can carefully tap it with a small hammer wrapped in a towel to restore its shape. Plastic materials have some degree of elasticity. If the damage is more significant, it should be taken to a professional mechanic for repair and repainting to restore its appearance.

Should You Press the Clutch or Brake First in Subject 2?

In Subject 2, you should press the clutch first and then the brake. Here are some specific scenarios: 1. Situations where you press the clutch before the brake: (1) During reverse parking and parallel parking, you should fully press the clutch first and then quickly press the brake. (2) When encountering a red light or pulling over to park. 2. Situations where you press both the clutch and brake simultaneously: During hill start and stop, to prevent rolling backward, you need to quickly press both the clutch and brake to the floor. 3. Situations where you press the brake before the clutch: In Subject 3, if the vehicle speed is high, you can first press the brake to reduce the speed and then press the clutch to stop.
