Excessive toe-in causes inner tire wear. In this case, a four-wheel alignment is required to restore the vehicle's toe-in to normal. Otherwise, prolonged tire scrubbing will lead to excessive tire wear. In severe cases, it may cause tire blowouts, reduce driving stability, and result in accidents. Here are the details: Tire scrubbing refers to abnormal accelerated wear on the inner or outer side of one or more tires, where a specific part of a tire wears out much faster than the others. During inspection, it's evident that the tread wears faster compared to other tires or the opposite side of the same tire, quickly causing uneven wear and rendering the tire unusable. Possible causes of inner tire wear include: improper tire pressure (too high or too low) leading to uneven wear; incorrect wheel dynamic balance parameters; inaccurate four-wheel alignment settings; and issues with the front suspension system, such as misalignment or loose ball joints.

What is the sequence between shifting gears and releasing the handbrake?

You can either shift gears first and then release the handbrake, or release the handbrake first and then shift gears. Below is expanded information on whether to shift gears first or release the handbrake first: 1. Automatic transmission: Most automatic transmission vehicles use AT torque converter transmissions. Since this type of transmission has a soft connection with the engine, it doesn't matter whether you shift gears first and then release the handbrake, or release the handbrake first and then shift gears. 2. Manual transmission: Manual transmission vehicles allow the driver to control the clutch. Therefore, you can either press the clutch pedal, shift into first gear, and then release the handbrake, or release the handbrake first and then shift into first gear. 3. Smooth start: The key to a smooth start lies in mastering the timing of the clutch's semi-engagement and coordinating it closely with the accelerator pedal. When releasing the clutch pedal, start by lifting it slightly faster. As you approach the point where the engine sound changes and the vehicle body slightly vibrates, pause the clutch pedal briefly at this position while gradually pressing the accelerator pedal. Then, slowly lift your left foot until it is completely released.

Does crossing halfway during a yellow light count as running a red light?

If the front wheels of a vehicle have just crossed the stop line when the light turns red, and the vehicle stops immediately without moving further, it will not be considered as running a red light. According to Article 10 of the "Regulations on the Handling Procedures for Road Traffic Violations," continuing to proceed in violation of the rules constitutes running a red light, which results in a 6-point deduction. Article 11 states that if a vehicle completes crossing the line and continues to move until it has fully crossed the line before stopping, thereby affecting the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians, it will be penalized as stopping beyond the line, typically resulting in a 3-point deduction on the driver's license and a fine. The "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," Article 38, stipulates the following for motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle signal lights: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed provided they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. At intersections without non-motor vehicle or pedestrian crossing signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle signal lights. The new traffic regulations clearly define three necessary conditions for a vehicle to be considered as running a red light: The vehicle illegally crosses the stop line. The vehicle illegally enters the intersection. The vehicle illegally crosses the opposite stop line. Electronic police (traffic cameras) capture three complete video images to confirm a vehicle running a red light: an image of the vehicle at the moment of violation, an image for license plate recognition, and a panoramic image. According to the "Regulations on the Handling Procedures for Road Traffic Violations," there are three scenarios regarding whether a vehicle is running a red light while driving: Article 11: If the front wheels of the vehicle cross the stop line or both the front and rear wheels cross the stop line but the rear of the vehicle has not yet crossed the stop line and the vehicle stops immediately, traffic police will not penalize it as running a red light. However, the driver may be penalized for improper stopping, resulting in a 3-point deduction. Article 10: If the front wheels of the vehicle cross the stop line, regardless of whether the entire vehicle has fully crossed the stop line, and the vehicle stops and then reverses back, being captured by traffic cameras with two complete moving images processed, it will be considered as running a red light, resulting in a 6-point deduction and a fine.

At what relative speed will the airbag deploy?

When the relative speed exceeds 50 km/h and the instantaneous deceleration in the opposite direction reaches 40g or more, the airbag will deploy. Relevant details are as follows: The controller issues the command to deploy the airbag based on three acceleration sensors, not speed sensors. Therefore, even at high speeds, if the acceleration value (corresponding to the impact force) during a collision does not exceed the set threshold, the airbag will not deploy. Similarly, even at relatively low speeds, if the acceleration value during a collision exceeds the set threshold, the controller will still command the airbag to deploy.
