Run-flat tires can typically be driven for 250 kilometers after being damaged. However, in cases of severe damage, such as large punctures from sharp objects or poor road conditions, the driving distance may be reduced to 80 kilometers. Run-flat tires, technically known as self-supporting tires, are composed of an outer tire, a standard inner tube, a spare inner tube, a steel rim, a gas generator or air chamber, pressure sensors, and a control unit. The sidewall of an inflated tire is the main component supporting the vehicle's weight, especially for tires with a larger aspect ratio. Severe tire blowouts often lead to instant collapse of the sidewall, causing the tire to lose its support immediately and resulting in an abrupt change in the vehicle's center of gravity.

Differences Between Seated Coaches and Sleeper Coaches

Coaches are categorized into seated coaches and sleeper coaches based on passenger accommodation. Seated coaches are further classified into large, medium, and small types according to the number of passenger seats. Based on their value and comfort level, large seated coaches are divided into five grades: High Grade 3, High Grade 2, High Grade 1, Medium Grade, and Standard Grade (abbreviated as Large HG3, Large HG2, Large HG1, Large MG1, and Large SG respectively. In reality, large commercial vehicles nowadays rarely include Medium or Standard Grade models). Medium seated coaches are categorized into four grades: High Grade 2, High Grade 1, Medium Grade, and Standard Grade (abbreviated as Medium HG2, Medium HG1, Medium MG1, and Medium SG). Small seated coaches also have four grades: High Grade 2, High Grade 1, Medium Grade, and Standard Grade.

Can I make a U-turn at a gap before a red light?

There is a gap near the intersection that allows U-turns. Generally, making a U-turn at an intersection requires waiting for a red light, and you would turn left at the preceding traffic light intersection during the red light. Typically, U-turns are not permitted. Whether a vehicle can make a U-turn without regard to the traffic signal depends on the actual situation or the relevant signs, markings, or "signal light" instructions on the road section. Some vehicles can make U-turns without looking at the signal light, while others need to observe the signal light. Relevant information about traffic lights is as follows: 1. Introduction: Traffic lights are signals that direct traffic operation, usually consisting of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light means stop, a green light means go, and a yellow light means caution. 2. Control methods: The most basic control method is timed control at a single intersection. Line control and area control can also use timed control methods, also known as static line control systems and static area control systems.
