Highway service areas do not impose time limits on rest periods, but expressways have overtime fees, which are part of a nationwide highway network's measures to prevent violations such as toll evasion through card swapping. Most expressways in the country have implemented procedures for handling overtime driving. However, time spent resting in service areas or delays due to traffic accidents can be deducted. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, the minimum speed limit on China's expressways is generally 60 km/h, which already provides drivers with ample time, accounting for rest breaks and refueling. If a driver requires more time for rest or is delayed due to refueling or vehicle repairs, as long as they can provide corresponding receipts or proof verified by the toll station, it will not be counted as overtime.

What to Do When Tire Pressure is Normal but Shows Abnormal?

Tire pressure is normal but the tire pressure warning light is on. This could be due to a puncture detected by the tire pressure sensor, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to stay on. It might also be because the tire pressure was previously too high or too low, and after adjusting the pressure, the tire pressure settings were not reset, leading to the light remaining on. Another possibility is a malfunction in the tire pressure sensor causing the light to illuminate. Generally, there are three main reasons for abnormal tire pressure indications: Abnormal Tire Pressure: The system usually alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In such cases, inspect the tires and adjust the pressure accordingly. Tire Pressure Monitoring Not Reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system is not reset, it continues to display the old data, causing the warning light to stay on. Simply reset the tire pressure monitoring system to resolve this issue. Damaged Tire Pressure Sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, perhaps due to impact, the tire pressure warning light may illuminate. In case of sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.

If the vehicle meets scrapping standards but the owner wishes to continue using it, no approval is required. After passing inspection, the vehicle can be extended in service, subject to biannual inspections. After 20 years, from the 21st year onward, the vehicle must undergo inspections four times a year. 2. Tourist passenger vehicles and non-commercial passenger vehicles with more than 9 seats have a service life of 10 years. If the owner wishes to continue using them after meeting scrapping standards, the extension must follow current procedures, but the extension cannot exceed 10 years. Tourist passenger vehicles under extended use must undergo inspections four times a year, while non-commercial passenger vehicles with more than 9 seats must undergo inspections twice a year. After 15 years, from the 16th year onward, inspections must be conducted four times a year. 3. The service life of commercial buses has been adjusted to 10 years. If the owner wishes to continue using them after meeting scrapping standards, the extension must follow current procedures.

What is the general maintenance cycle for a new car?

Generally, it is 3 months or 3,000 kilometers, or 6 months and 5,000 kilometers. Below is an introduction to the maintenance items for a new car: 1. The car's engine oil needs to be replaced within a certain mileage because the engine's working environment is harsh, which can deplete the oil or cause it to deteriorate over time. Engine oil is divided into three types: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil. Mineral oil and fully synthetic oil have a very high market share. If mineral oil is used, the replacement mileage is around 5,000 kilometers, whereas fully synthetic oil can be replaced after 10,000 kilometers. 2. Generally, the replacement cycle for brake fluid is around 60,000 kilometers, and it should not exceed 3 years in terms of time. Although it does not attract as much attention from car owners as engine oil, its importance is even higher. If there is a problem with the brake fluid, the direct consequence is that the brake pedal cannot be pressed down, in other words, the brakes fail.

What are the precautions for reversing a car?

When reversing, pay attention to the surroundings, the interior environment of the car, and the front of the car. Also, remind pedestrians to yield and brake in time if necessary. Observe the surroundings: Before reversing, check the situation behind the car, and get out to inspect if necessary. This can prevent unseen objects in blind spots and help plan the reversing path. While reversing, observe obstacles on both sides and continuously monitor the road conditions in the rearview mirrors. Observe the interior environment: Remove items inside the car that may obstruct the view; it's best to temporarily turn off audio equipment to hear external sounds promptly; open the windows to check the rearview mirrors during reversing. Pay attention to the front: If the front of the car is neglected while reversing, the sides of the front may get scratched. When reversing to the left, pay attention to the right front, and when reversing to the right, pay attention to the left front. Remind pedestrians to yield: In crowded areas, honk in advance to alert pedestrians to yield. Always be ready to brake: While reversing, if the rearview mirrors or radar indicate danger, brake immediately and get out to inspect if necessary.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Turning the Steering Wheel While Reversing?

The causes of abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel while reversing include friction between plastic components, friction between the steering column and the floor mat, failure of the clock spring inside the steering wheel, and aging of the steering tie rod ball joint. Friction between plastic components: The steering wheel is composed of various plastic parts. If the gaps between these parts are too small, friction will occur when the steering wheel is turned. For a new car, the steering wheel will adapt after some time of use. If the noise persists after this period, try reassembling the steering wheel. Friction between the steering column and the floor mat: If the aftermarket floor mat is too large and directly contacts the steering column, friction will occur as the steering column turns. Adjusting the position of the floor mat or replacing it can resolve the issue. Failure of the clock spring inside the steering wheel: If the clock spring is broken or its connector is not properly plugged in, replacing or securing it will fix the problem. Aging of the steering tie rod ball joint: Replacing the steering tie rod ball joint will solve the issue, but a four-wheel alignment is required after replacement.
