Running a red light is captured from the rear, with electronic cameras taking three photos to determine the violation: a photo of the vehicle crossing the intersection stop line, showing the red light and license plate; a photo of the vehicle completely passing the stop line, showing the red light and license plate; and a photo of the vehicle continuing to move, comparing changes in position, also showing the red light and license plate. Capturing these three photos confirms a red light violation. According to Article 26 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, running a red light is clearly defined. Traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. Red means stop, green means go, and yellow serves as a warning. A red light prohibits passage, and driving through an intersection during a red light constitutes a traffic violation. Six scenarios of running a red light: Stopping immediately after crossing the line (when the red light turns on, and the vehicle cannot brake in time, with the front crossing the stop line): If the vehicle only slightly crosses the stop line during a red light but stops immediately, it is not penalized. However, if there is further movement after crossing, it will be penalized. The electronic camera captures three photos: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing, and the front wheels passing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present is it considered a red light violation, resulting in a 6-point deduction under new regulations. Running a red light under police direction (when the signal is red, but the officer signals to proceed): When there is a conflict between the signal and the officer's gesture, drivers must follow the officer's command. If penalized due to the officer's direction, the driver can request a diversion certificate from the local traffic police station to avoid penalties. Disputes can be resolved through administrative reconsideration or litigation. Fully crossing the stop line (failing to brake in time, resulting in the entire vehicle crossing the stop line): If the vehicle stops completely after crossing the stop line without further movement, it is not considered running a red light but rather a stop-line violation. Reversing after crossing the line (attempting to avoid penalties by reversing after crossing the stop line): Reversing is prohibited at railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, bridges, sharp turns, steep slopes, or tunnels. Violations may result in warnings or fines. Mistakenly running a red light behind a large vehicle (due to obstructed visibility): Drivers must maintain sufficient visibility to see traffic signals and ensure a safe braking distance. If a vehicle follows a large vehicle and is captured running a red light, it will be penalized accordingly. Passing through an intersection during a yellow light: According to Article 38 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line during a yellow light may proceed. However, if a driver accelerates through a yellow light, it may be considered running a red light if captured.

What is the meaning of a 'Beihu Car'?

Beihu Car refers to a vehicle that continues to be driven under the original owner's name. Here is an introduction to Beihu Cars: 1. Meaning: A Beihu Car is a vehicle that cannot be transferred to a new owner. It is a completely normal car with all necessary documents, valid annual inspections, and insurance, but it cannot be legally transferred. 2. Reasons: The license plate registration location is too far away, making the transfer process costly; the car might be used as collateral for debt, possibly having been passed through multiple debt cycles; the original owner has passed away, and the vehicle has not been deregistered; in areas with license plate restrictions, the car and plate are transferred together; imported vehicles cannot be registered locally due to migration restrictions; some scammers may sell commercial vehicles converted to private use as Beihu Cars at low prices. 3. Caution: If the current owner flees after a traffic accident, the police will not investigate the current owner but will hold the original owner responsible; the original owner may have to bear medical expenses, nursing costs, and other compensations; in severe cases, they may even face legal consequences.

What Causes the Yellow Engine Light to Illuminate in a Haval?

Here are the specific reasons why the yellow engine light illuminates in a Haval: Abnormal Fuel Pressure: If the fuel pump's supply pressure fails to reach the required level, it can result in poor atomization of the fuel injectors, thereby affecting the engine's normal operation. Normally, the fuel pump pressure should be between 2.5—3.5 MPa. If the fuel pump pressure exceeds 3.5 MPa, the injector spring may struggle to overcome the fuel pressure after the injector operates, leading to continuous fuel injection and causing excessively rich exhaust emissions. Engine Knock or Detonation: The engine is equipped with a dedicated knock sensor to monitor engine knock. Engine knock can potentially cause severe mechanical damage or significant power loss. Typically, knock is categorized into perceptible and imperceptible knock. In cases of imperceptible knock, the engine control unit (ECU) adjusts engine control parameters based on the monitored conditions to prevent further adverse effects. However, when imperceptible knock exceeds the adjustable range of the ECU, the engine fault light will also illuminate as a warning.

Why does the brake suddenly become hard and difficult to press?

The sudden hardening of the brake and difficulty in pressing it down is related to pressing the brake before turning off the engine. Below are the reasons and solutions for the sudden hardening of the brake: 1. Pressing the brake before turning off the engine: The car's braking system works at its maximum efficiency when the engine is running, and the brake booster is the key component that enables vehicle braking. The force applied to the pedal is amplified by it. When the engine is off, the brake booster also fails, and typically, pressing the brake pedal three times will deplete its remaining vacuum force. Solution: First, restart the engine, then try pressing the brake pedal firmly to restart. Once the engine is running, the brake booster can resume operation, and the brake pedal will naturally return to normal. 2. Leakage or malfunction of the car's brake booster: The vacuum tube of the brake booster may be leaking or blocked. Solution: If this situation is noticed before driving, it is best not to continue driving and take the car directly to a repair shop for inspection. If it occurs while driving, do not panic. The first thing to do is to slow down and stop. You can try pressing the pedal multiple times to see if braking can be restored. Applying more force usually allows the braking force to still function.

What is the equivalent displacement of the new Sagitar 1.2T?

The new Sagitar 1.2T turbocharged engine delivers power equivalent to a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine when the turbo is engaged. Displacement concept: Displacement is an important indicator for evaluating engine performance. The volume of fluid inhaled or discharged by the engine per stroke or cycle is the engine's intake volume. The working volume through which the piston moves from top dead center to bottom dead center is called the cylinder displacement. If the engine has multiple cylinders, the sum of the working volumes of all cylinders is called the engine displacement. It is generally expressed in liters (L) or cubic centimeters (cc). Power unit: Horsepower is defined as the power of a horse that can pull 33,000 pounds moving at a rate of 1 foot per minute, with watts (W) or kilowatts (kW) used as standard units. That is, 1 metric horsepower = 75 kilogram-force meters/second = 735 watts. For a 1.6-liter displacement engine, depending on the brand and tuning method, if it is a naturally aspirated engine, it typically ranges from 100 to 120 horsepower. If turbocharging technology is employed, it can reach up to around 130 horsepower.
