Antifreeze can generally be stored for two years. Currently, antifreeze is an aqueous solution of ethylene glycol, which is not prone to evaporation. Therefore, as long as there is no leakage and it's just a matter of low antifreeze levels, you can top it up with distilled water—never use tap water. Antifreeze also contains various additives, so antifreeze from different manufacturers should not be mixed. The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine cylinder block or head. Antifreeze is a type of coolant with special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion throughout the year.

Can Driving Schools Practice on Statutory Holidays?

You can learn to drive during statutory holidays, as driving schools arrange corresponding classes with instructors working normally to ensure teaching. For example, some driving schools offer holiday classes or holiday evening classes. Here are the precautions for driving practice: Proper operation: When practicing at the driving school, students need to pay attention to the way of holding the steering wheel, followed by the use of the car's brakes, clutch, and accelerator. Always fasten the seat belt and master the operation and use of lights. Practice requirements: Only training vehicles can be used for practice; private cars cannot be used as training vehicles for those without a driver's license. The content of the first subject in the driving test is the assessment of traffic regulations and related knowledge, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90 or above. The driving test consists of four subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, Subject Three, and Subject Four. Each subject has two attempts. If both attempts fail, the test will be terminated.

Will points be deducted for not wearing a helmet on the back seat of a motorcycle?

Not wearing a helmet on the back seat of a motorcycle will not result in point deductions, but it may incur varying amounts of fines. Below is relevant information about motorcycle riding: Safety helmets: When riding a motorcycle, it is mandatory to wear a helmet. If caught by traffic police without one, you will be fined, and safety cannot be guaranteed. Since most motorcycle riders are young people who tend to ride at high speeds, wearing a helmet can reduce the severity of injuries in accidents. Slow-speed riding: When riding a motorcycle, it is crucial not to exceed the speed limit. Many motorcycle accidents occur due to speeding, so for safety reasons, always ride slowly and avoid speeding.

Is It Meaningful to Upgrade from 16-inch to 17-inch Wheels?

Upgrading from 16-inch to 17-inch wheels doesn't hold much significance, as the difference in wheel size is minimal and has little impact on the car's performance. Below is relevant information about car wheels: Concept: The wheel hub is the rotating part of the wheel steel inside the tire connected by columns, which is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the center of the tire. It is also called the rim, steel ring, or wheel disc. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, forming method, and material. Size: Wheel size essentially refers to the diameter of the wheel. Common terms like 15-inch or 16-inch wheels refer to the wheel's size (diameter). Generally, in passenger cars, larger wheel sizes with higher tire aspect ratios can create a visually appealing tension effect and improve the vehicle's handling stability. However, this comes with the additional issue of increased fuel consumption.

What does car range mean?

Car range refers to the maximum distance that can be traveled with the remaining fuel in the tank at an economical speed, mainly calculated automatically by the car's computer based on the current fuel consumption. Below is a related introduction to car mileage: Introduction: The car odometer indicates the speed of the car, with the unit being km/h (kilometers per hour). It consists of two meters: one is the speedometer, and the other is the odometer. It is generally located directly in front of the driver's position. Identification methods can include determining by the degree of wear and tear or checking the vehicle's maintenance records at a 4S shop. Principle: Traditional speedometers are mechanical. A typical mechanical odometer is connected to a flexible shaft, which contains a steel cable. The other end of the flexible shaft is connected to a gear in the transmission. The rotation of the gear drives the steel cable to rotate, which in turn drives a magnet inside the odometer's cover ring to rotate. The cover ring is connected to the pointer and keeps the pointer at zero position via a hairspring. The speed of the magnet's rotation causes changes in the size of the magnetic field lines, disrupting the balance and thus moving the pointer.
