A beginner can drive alone on the road after obtaining a driver's license, but cannot drive on highways. According to traffic regulations: The first 12 months after a motor vehicle driver initially applies for a driver's license or adds a permitted vehicle type is the probationary period. During the probationary period, if one wants to drive on the highway, they must be accompanied by a driver who has held a driver's license for the same or a higher vehicle type for more than three years. Everyone has a different sense of driving. Those with a good sense of driving will get familiar quickly. There are two main points: First, you need to have a thorough understanding of the car you are driving, including its length and width. You don't need exact numbers, but you should have a general idea in your mind. Also, avoid looking down at the gearshift while driving (automatic transmission drivers can ignore this). Second, you need to overcome nervousness. It's best to have an experienced driver accompany you when you start driving. There is no such thing as being the most skilled, only becoming more skilled. It usually takes about three months to master basic driving skills, but aspects like safety awareness, emergency response capabilities, foresight, courtesy, and vehicle maintenance and repair abilities require long-term accumulation.

Will driving not according to the guide lane be penalized?

Driving not according to the guide lane will be penalized. There are two types of guide lanes, one is a fixed guide lane, and the other is a variable guide lane. The specific introduction is as follows: 1. Fixed guide lane: The so-called fixed guide lane means that the direction of the lane is fixed and unchanging. A straight lane will always be straight, and a right-turn lane will always be right-turn. On such fixed guide lanes, the penalty for not driving according to the guide lane is a 2-point deduction and a fine of 200 yuan. If driving not according to the guide lane is accompanied by other violations (such as turning or making a U-turn in sections where such actions are not allowed and where no signs are posted, the lane may have a yellow prohibition marking to warn drivers that turning or making a U-turn is not allowed in this section, or making a U-turn or left turn in sections where such actions are prohibited), the penalties will be compounded. 2. Variable guide lane: The variable guide lane is the so-called tidal lane. The tidal lane changes the direction of the lane according to the time, for example, changing from straight to left turn. The warning signs next to the tidal lane will display the corresponding time period. For example, during the morning peak period, the tidal lane can only go straight, and during the evening peak period, the tidal lane can only turn left. The tidal lane has jagged lane lines and conspicuous roadside prompts. If you are not very familiar with the tidal lane, the best practice is not to drive into it.

Which Times Are Free on Highways?

Highway toll-free periods occur during four major holidays: Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Labor Day, and National Day. The free period starts at 00:00 on the first day of the holiday and ends at 24:00 on the last day of the holiday. If you enter the highway during non-free hours but exit during the free period, it qualifies as toll-free passage. Conversely, entering during the free period but exiting during non-free hours does not qualify for toll exemption. Additional information: During highway toll-free periods, the exemption applies to passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats) traveling on toll roads, which also includes motorcycles permitted to operate on regular toll roads.

Is It Legal to Convert from Manual to Automatic Transmission?

Converting from manual to automatic transmission is not legal. Here is some related information about automatic transmissions: 1. Advantages of automatic transmissions: Automatic transmission cars are easier to operate than manual transmission cars, as they can automatically match gears with speed. They offer higher driving comfort, eliminating the need for manual gear shifting and close coordination between hands and feet. Automatic transmission cars also have higher safety ratings. They have more stringent performance requirements, and their power and safety devices are of better quality. 2. Disadvantages of automatic transmissions: Automatic transmission cars consume relatively more fuel, are more expensive to purchase, and have higher maintenance costs.

What is the difference between OBD1 and OBD2?

Here is the relevant introduction to the differences between OBD1 and OBD2: 1. Function: OBD stands for "On-Board Diagnostics." This system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check if the vehicle's emissions exceed the standard. If they do, it will immediately issue a warning. When a fault occurs in the system, the malfunction indicator lamp or check engine warning light will illuminate, and the powertrain control module will store the fault information in memory. Through a specific procedure, the fault code can be read from the PCM. Based on the fault code, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault. 2. Difference: The difference between OBD-II and OBD1's on-board diagnostic system lies in its strict focus on emissions. Its essential function is to monitor vehicle emissions. When the emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, or fuel evaporation pollutants exceed the set standard, the malfunction indicator lamp will light up to alert the driver.

Does idling with the AC on consume fuel?

Idling with the AC on does consume fuel. Here is relevant information about fuel consumption: 1. Reasons for high fuel consumption: Poor fuel line condition: Excessive carbon buildup causing fuel line blockage leads to increased fuel consumption. Brake abnormalities: Brake pads not retracting properly, keeping the vehicle in a constant braking state while driving. Spark plug issues: Generally, spark plugs need replacement after 20,000-30,000 kilometers of driving. 2. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Correct bad driving habits, avoid using low-quality gasoline, clean engine carbon deposits, avoid sudden acceleration, clean the throttle valve, and reduce vehicle load. Removing unnecessary items from the trunk can reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel efficiency.

What to do if ETC was not scanned when exiting the highway after being scanned when entering?

If you used ETC when entering the highway but it wasn't scanned when exiting, the unpaid fee can be deducted together during your next toll station exit. If the toll station cannot resolve this issue, you need to bring your ID card, vehicle license, and OBU device to the local ETC service center for troubleshooting. How ETC works: Through dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses computer networking technology to perform backend settlement processing with the bank. This allows vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the required fees. Where ETC can be installed: For small vehicles like cars and minivans, the OBU device is installed on the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, it's installed on the lower middle part. ETC installation requirements: The height should be no less than 1.2 meters and no more than 2.5 meters; The installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the electronic tag surface and the horizontal plane).
