Bird droppings can cause corrosion on car paint within about a day due to the following reasons: Bird droppings contain highly acidic substances that can corrode the car paint surface, forming an oxidation layer, leading to cracking of the paint. Over time, this can leave permanent marks. Methods to maintain car paint include: 1. Promptly remove dust from the car body to minimize static electricity attracting dust; 2. Rinse off rain stains with clean water as soon as possible after rain to prevent damage to the paint; 3. Avoid washing the car under direct sunlight or high temperatures; 4. Use clean, soft cloths or sponges when cleaning to prevent mixing in metal shavings or sand particles that could scratch the paint; 5. Immediately remove highly corrosive stains to keep the paint clean and aesthetically pleasing.

How many points are deducted for stalling in Subject 2?

Stalling the engine once due to improper operation results in a deduction of 10 points. Other common situations that lead to point deductions include the following: Exceeding the boundary line, failing to complete the reverse parking, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, or exceeding the allotted time will result in a deduction of 100 points. For slope parking, if the right side of the vehicle is more than 30 cm away from the roadside line after parking, 10 points are deducted; if it exceeds 50 cm, 100 points are deducted. Rolling back or touching the line results in a 100-point deduction. If the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and the deviation is within 50 cm, 10 points are deducted; if it exceeds 50 cm, 100 points are deducted. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The test is passed under the following conditions: ① For applicants of large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required.

Can a New Energy Vehicle Still Be Used After Being Submerged in Water?

New energy vehicles may not be significantly affected by minor water ingress, but large-scale water submersion could potentially render even pure electric vehicles inoperable. Below is some information regarding water submersion in new energy vehicles: 1. Causes of Damage: This is primarily because electric vehicles have numerous circuits and key components such as batteries, drive motors, and controllers that are susceptible to water damage. Even with excellent waterproofing features, prolonged submersion is not advisable. 2. Precautions: Pure electric vehicles are well-constructed and designed with reasonable layouts, featuring protective devices between circuits. Most importantly, they use lithium batteries. In the event of the aforementioned issue, the driver is unlikely to suffer significant harm. However, in cases of large-scale or prolonged water ingress, it is difficult to guarantee that electric shock accidents will not occur.

Can I Take Subject Four Without Passing Subject Two and Three?

If you haven't passed Subject Two and Subject Three in driving school, you cannot take Subject Four first. Here is some relevant information about the driving test: 1. Definition of Driving Test Simulation Fee: The simulation fee and venue fee refer to the costs required for conducting a simulated test at the examination site. During the process of obtaining a driver's license, apart from the registration fee, simulation fee, and venue fee, there are no other charges. However, the decision to take the simulation test or not is entirely up to you; you can choose to simulate or not. 2. Driving Test: Applicants for a motor vehicle driver's license must pass the following four subjects: Traffic Safety Laws, Regulations, and Related Knowledge Test (Subject One), Field Driving Skills Test (Subject Two), Road Driving Skills Test (Subject Three), and Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge (Subject Four). The test sequence proceeds in the order of Subject One, Subject Two, Subject Three, and Subject Four. Only after passing the previous subject can you be allowed to take the next subject's test.

How long is the validity period of a temporary vehicle pass?

There are three types of temporary vehicle license plates, with maximum validity periods of 15 days, 30 days, and 90 days respectively. Vehicle registration and obtaining formal license plates can be processed without a driver's license, as vehicle registration does not require the owner to possess a driver's license. Here is additional information: 1. Definition of temporary vehicle pass: A paper motor vehicle license plate that permits temporary road use of a vehicle, also known as a temporary moving vehicle license plate. Temporary license plates refer to provisional vehicle movement certificates issued by vehicle management authorities for newly purchased vehicles before official registration. The validity period of temporary license plates generally does not exceed 30 days. 2. Types of temporary passes: There are four types of temporary license plates in total, namely temporary license plates for administrative jurisdictions, temporary license plates for cross-administrative jurisdictions, temporary license plates for testing purposes, and temporary license plates for special-type motor vehicles.

Should BMW Use 95 or 98 Octane Gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, BMW should use 95 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, BMW owners can also find this information on the fuel tank cap, where it is usually indicated. The choice of gasoline grade can also generally be determined by the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the appropriate gasoline grade. High compression ratio engines can also be tuned to use lower octane gasoline, as factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane rating, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If BMW occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switching back to the correct grade after consumption is sufficient. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increased octane number may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This results in reduced engine power and thermal efficiency, with the practical effect being poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher octane gasoline, using lower octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane number, the reduced ignition point may cause premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance will arise during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without obvious engine damage, but noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.
