In terms of traditional paint repair methods, whether at a 4S shop or a specialized repair shop, it generally takes 1-2 days to complete the paint repair. The vehicle can be driven away on the same day after the paint repair is completed. However, care should be taken to avoid contact between the repaired paint area and corrosive cleaning agents such as adhesive removers or asphalt removers, as these can severely melt the newly applied paint. After the vehicle paint repair is completed, the following precautions should be noted: 1. Do not use high-pressure water to wash the car body directly: The hardness of the repaired paint is lower compared to the original factory paint, and excessive water pressure can damage the car's paint surface. 2. Do not use cleaning agents indiscriminately: While driving, the vehicle may inevitably encounter substances like asphalt, oil stains, or insects. In such cases, caution should be exercised when handling them.

What is the Central Yellow Road Marking?

Yellow grid lines on the road indicate that all vehicles are strictly prohibited from stopping for a long time or temporarily to prevent traffic congestion. The following is an introduction to the content related to crossing the lines: 1. Solid lines: Whether it is a single yellow line or a double yellow line, as long as it is a solid line, crossing is strictly prohibited, such as overtaking, turning, or making a U-turn. There should be no crossing of the lines under normal driving conditions. 2. Dotted lines: Whether it is a single yellow line or a double yellow line, as long as it is a dotted line, overtaking or making a U-turn is allowed under safe conditions. Single yellow lines are generally used on roads with four or fewer lanes (including bicycle lanes) in both directions, while double yellow lines are generally used on wider roads. At a red traffic light, a U-turn can be made on a solid line only when the left-turn signal is green. If there is no dedicated U-turn signal light at the intersection and no prohibition sign for U-turns, it means that U-turns are allowed at the intersection. Unlike left-turning vehicles, U-turning vehicles can make a U-turn at a red light as long as it does not affect the normal passage of other vehicles.

Where is the position of the left headlight visible from inside the car?

The position of the left headlight visible from inside the car is at the front left corner. Here is some relevant information about car lights: 1. Headlights: The combination headlights are located at the front of the car and mainly serve the functions of illumination and signaling. The light emitted by the headlights illuminates the road conditions ahead, allowing the driver to drive safely at night. Combination headlights can be categorized by light source into halogen tungsten lamps and xenon lamps. 2. Combination taillights: The combination taillights are located at the rear of the car and mainly serve the functions of illumination and signaling. Rear lights generally consist of rear position lights, reverse lights, brake lights, rear fog lights, rear turn signals, and retroreflectors.

What is the general turning radius?

Here is an introduction to the minimum turning radius of various types of vehicles: 1. Mini vehicles: The turning radius is 4.50m. 2. Small vehicles: The turning radius is 6.00m. 3. Light vehicles: The turning radius ranges from 6.50m to 8.00m. 4. Medium vehicles: The turning radius ranges from 8.00m to 12.00m. Below is additional information about vehicle turning: 1. Minimum radius: The minimum turning radius refers to the smallest distance between the turning center and the outer turning wheel trajectory (sometimes also referring to the outer edge of the front fender) when a vehicle turns. The minimum turning radius indicates a vehicle's ability to navigate through narrow, curved areas or avoid obstacles. A smaller turning radius means better maneuverability. 2. Determining factors: To ensure that the wheels roll purely without sliding during a turn, the minimum turning radius is determined by the vehicle's wheelbase. A longer wheelbase results in a larger turning radius, but vehicles with longer wheelbases generally offer better ride smoothness.

Is it better to drive a new car at high speed before or after the first maintenance?

It is recommended to drive a new car at high speed after the first maintenance. After the first maintenance is completed, potential issues such as the torque of various screws and the levels of different fluids have been inspected and addressed, allowing for a safer and more secure high-speed driving experience. Driving at high speeds can enhance the engine's performance. After the initial break-in period, the operation between mechanical components becomes more coordinated. At this stage, driving at high speeds and maintaining the engine at high RPM for a period can test the machine's extreme working conditions. Additionally, high-speed driving helps clean the engine's oil passages and cylinders. When the engine operates at high speeds, the fuel supply increases, and the flow rate of the fuel also rises, which helps flush out dirt and impurities from the oil passages, achieving a cleaning effect. Moreover, due to the high-speed movement of the pistons, the temperature inside the cylinders rises, and the flow and speed of air entering and exiting the valves increase, leading to more complete combustion. This helps remove carbon deposits from the valves and clears blocked passages, making them smoother.

Can I use my old license plate on a used car I bought?

You can use your old license plate on a used car, but the prerequisite is that the license plate must have been used on the original vehicle for more than one year. If it has been less than a year, the plate cannot be retained. The conditions for applying to use the original license plate are as follows: 1. The license plate must have been used on the original motor vehicle for at least one year; 2. The application to retain the original license plate must be submitted within one year after completing the vehicle transfer registration or cancellation registration (the retention period is only one year); 3. Any traffic violations or accidents involving the original motor vehicle must be resolved; 4. The original license plate can only be retained and used by the original owner, and it can be used on either a new car or a used car.

Will Traffic Police Check Car Inflatable Beds for Children Sleeping?

Traffic police will check car inflatable beds. Privately installing inflatable pads or flattening/removing rear seats to place mattresses constitutes unauthorized modification of the vehicle's internal structure and intended use/features. If discovered by traffic police, it will result in a fine and 3-point penalty according to law. Below are additional details: Precautions: Inflatable beds must not be used while driving. Once deployed, seat belts become unusable. In case of an accident, passengers on inflatable beds lack seat belt protection and emergency self-protection measures, making injuries highly likely. Therefore, always deflate and store the bed before driving, obey traffic rules, and prioritize road safety at all times - this is most crucial.
