A tire pressure of 200 is too low, and driving long distances under such conditions can harm the tires. It's best to adjust to the normal tire pressure before driving. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening its lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overextends and deforms the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass, the tire is more prone to punctures, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, and potential tire bursts. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increases friction with the road surface, raising fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and deviation, compromising driving safety; Increases movement in various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal overheating due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage and abnormal wear; Multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, sharply increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire bursts; Increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and generating excessive heat due to flexing, accelerating rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also enlarging the tire's contact area and speeding up shoulder wear.

Can I drive with my driver's license information on the Traffic Management 12123 app?

You can drive with your driver's license information on the Traffic Management 12123 app. If you forget to bring your physical driver's license when going out, you can provide your driver's license number (ID card number) to the traffic police for verification to prove that you are not driving without a license. The traffic police will verify your driver's license information through the call center before letting you go. Below is an introduction to driver's licenses: 1. Introduction to driver's licenses: A driver's license, also known as a "driving license," is the abbreviation for a motor vehicle driving license. According to the law, it is a certificate that motor vehicle drivers need to apply for. 2. A driver's license is a "permit": Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle recklessly may lead to traffic accidents. Drivers cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have mastered safe driving skills, the document that allows them to drive vehicles on the road is the "driver's license." This shows that a driver's license is a "permit." 3. Definition of a driver's license: Internationally, a driver's license is defined as "a document issued by the competent authority to permit the driving of vehicles for the purpose of driving a car." In China, a driver's license is defined as "a legal certificate issued by the management department after a person who is legally allowed to learn to drive a motor vehicle has studied and mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the examination, permitting the driving of a certain type of motor vehicle."

What Does Low Gear Mean?

Low gear generally refers to gears 1, 2, and 3 in a car's forward gears. Below is relevant information about car gears: 1. Speed range: First gear corresponds to speeds of 0-5 km/h, second gear to 5-20 km/h, third gear to 20-40 km/h, fourth gear to 40-60 km/h, and fifth gear to 60-100 km/h. 2. Shift timing: For most cars, the optimal shift timing occurs when the engine reaches 2000 rpm, and should not exceed 2500 rpm. For high-displacement, high-power engines, shifting around 3000 rpm may be appropriate.

What Causes the BMW Steering Wheel Warning Light to Illuminate?

Reasons for the steering wheel warning light illumination: The power steering system contains a large amount of air, causing abnormal car steering; foreign objects in the steering hydraulic line result in the steering pump flow control valve sticking. The steering wheel warning light on the car dashboard is essentially the power steering system fault light, indicating a malfunction in the power steering system. Here is additional information: The fault may lead to phenomena such as heavy steering, steering noise, steering wheel vibration, and poor steering wheel return ability. The illumination of the power steering system fault light is extremely dangerous. You can drive at low speeds, avoid sharp turns, refrain from overtaking, and promptly proceed to a professional repair station for maintenance or await rescue.

What Are the Safety Precautions for Driving in Heavy Rain?

Precautions for driving in heavy rain: 1. Clear fog: When driving in rainy weather, be sure to check the windshield wipers. If water fog obstructs your vision while driving, promptly turn on the wipers and the car's air conditioning to keep the windshield clear and transparent. 2. Slow down when turning, avoid sudden steering: Due to slippery roads, turns should be made slowly and gently to prevent the vehicle from skidding, which could lead to dangerous situations. 3. Reduce speed and avoid sudden braking: When roads are wet, the friction between the tires and the road decreases, making it easier for the tires to skid and increasing the braking distance. Therefore, it is essential to drive at a reduced speed in rainy conditions and avoid sudden braking to prevent the vehicle from veering off course.

Where are German Yatu tires produced?

German Yatu tires are domestically produced, with their production location in China. Below is relevant information: 1. Specification model representation: Tires are important components of automobiles, and there are many specification models of tires, with different specification models suitable for different vehicle types. The specification model identification is usually on the side of the tire, represented by a series of alphanumeric characters, corresponding to the tire's tread width, aspect ratio, type, rim size, load index, and speed rating. 2. Speed rating: According to the different maximum speeds they can withstand, tire speed ratings can be divided into different grades from A to Z, with grade A further subdivided into eight different grades from A1 to A8. The further back the letter representing the tire speed rating is, the better the tire performance.

What does it mean when the vehicle body touches the parking space boundary line while driving?

It means that during the parking maneuver, the wheels have crossed the boundary line, resulting in test failure and requiring a retake. Below is more information about parallel parking: 1. Introduction: Parallel parking is a component of the second subject in the driver's license test. It is an increasingly common scenario in urban areas where many streets have designated parking spaces along the sides, known as 'parallel parking spaces.' 2. Operation requirements: The driver must maneuver the vehicle into the right-side parking space without the wheels touching the lane boundary lines or the parking space boundary lines. 3. Test criteria: If the vehicle body crosses the line after stopping in the parking space, 100 points are deducted. If the wheels touch the lane boundary lines while driving, 10 points are deducted. Failure to park within the space results in a 100-point deduction. Not activating the left turn signal when starting deducts 10 points. Stopping midway deducts 100 points.
