Driving without windshield washer fluid does affect driving. The reasons are as follows: Visibility: Windshield washer fluid provides drivers with clear and unobstructed vision. Especially during nighttime driving, dust on the windshield can scatter light, making it necessary to spray washer fluid to maintain optimal transparency of the windshield. Driving Safety: In dusty environments or when driving on highways during rain, if the windshield becomes blurry, using the wipers without washer fluid will not clean it properly, posing a risk to driving safety. Maintenance Costs: Continuously operating the washer fluid lever without fluid can cause the motor to overheat and get damaged, leading to high repair costs.

Should Car Air Conditioning Use Internal or External Circulation in Winter?

In winter, using the internal circulation mode in car air conditioning effectively prevents external dust and harmful gases from entering the vehicle, providing quicker cooling and heating effects. The external circulation mode, on the other hand, introduces fresh air to maintain airflow between the inside and outside of the car, ensuring clean air inside the cabin. The internal circulation control is located below the front dashboard in the driver's compartment, while the external circulation control is situated below the windshield on the passenger side in the engine compartment. Car air conditioning is designed to regulate and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow within the vehicle cabin to an optimal state, offering passengers a comfortable environment and reducing travel fatigue.

What are the reasons for ETC not being detected?

ETC not being detected can be due to the following reasons: 1. The electronic tag is not properly inserted; 2. Unauthorized removal of the vehicle's electronic tag will render it unusable; 3. The vehicle's windshield is covered with a metal explosion-proof film; 4. OBU transfer or replacement requires visiting a service outlet. ETC operates through dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at toll stations. It utilizes computer networking technology to conduct background settlement processing with banks, achieving the purpose of allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay fees.

Can you make a U-turn on a single yellow dashed line?

U-turns are allowed on yellow dashed lines, provided there are no signs prohibiting U-turns or left turns, or separate U-turn signal lights. Vehicles can make a U-turn without affecting normal traffic flow and ensuring safety. Situations where U-turns are permitted: Intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign at the intersection, a U-turn can be made. If there is a U-turn signal light, follow its instructions. If there is no signal light, make the U-turn based on the specific situation without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit prohibitions: U-turns are allowed if there are no signs explicitly prohibiting U-turns or left turns. "No explicit prohibition" means the intersection lacks signs like "No U-turn," "No Left Turn," or solid center lines, in which case U-turns are permitted. Yellow grid lines also allow U-turns: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones typically marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, entrances/exits of important facilities, or other necessary locations. Stopping on these lines (including waiting for traffic lights) is a violation. However, while parking is prohibited, U-turns are allowed on yellow grid lines unless there is a central barrier, as they are equivalent to "U-turn permitted." Intersections with U-turn signal lights: If a U-turn signal light is present, follow its indication—only proceed on green. When "No Left Turn" and "U-turn Permitted" signs coexist: U-turns are allowed, but left turns are prohibited. Note that "No U-turn" is not the same as "No Left Turn." Things to note when making a U-turn: Check road markings: If the line is solid, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable location. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign, even without a "No U-turn" sign, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection since U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, U-turns are not permitted at that intersection. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Proceed only if it does not interfere with straight-moving vehicles; otherwise, you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes often have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane may not always have a left-turn arrow—some lanes may have straight arrows. Even without explicit prohibitions, U-turns are not allowed in such cases. U-turns must not be made on pedestrian crosswalks, as this is also a traffic violation.
