Three photos captured by electronic cameras are used to determine: a photo of the vehicle crossing the intersection stop line, including the traffic light showing red and the license plate number; a photo of the vehicle completely passing the stop line, including the traffic light showing red and the license plate number; and a photo showing the vehicle continuing to move, by comparing whether the vehicle's position has changed, including the traffic light showing red and the license plate number. Capturing these three photos can determine that the vehicle ran a red light. The act of running a red light is clearly defined in the "Road Traffic Safety Law." Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to pass, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage, and if a vehicle passes through an intersection when the light is red, it constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. Six scenarios of running a red light: Stopping immediately after crossing the line at a red light (when the light turns red, the vehicle cannot stop in time, and the front of the vehicle crosses the stop line): If the vehicle has just crossed the stop line when the light is red but stops immediately, this will not be penalized as running a red light. However, if there is obvious movement after crossing the line, it will be penalized. The three photos captured by electronic cameras for running a red light are: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are available will it be considered running a red light, resulting in a 6-point deduction under the new regulations. Running a red light under police direction (the signal is red, but the traffic officer signals permission to pass): When there is a conflict between the traffic signal and the officer's gesture, motor vehicle drivers must obey the officer's on-site command. If a driver runs a red light due to the officer's command, they can obtain a diversion certificate from the local traffic police department to avoid penalties. If the party disagrees with the penalty, they can appeal through administrative reconsideration or administrative litigation. Stopping after the entire vehicle crosses the line at a red light (failing to brake in time, causing the entire vehicle to cross the stop line): If the vehicle stops completely after crossing the stop line without further movement, it is not considered running a red light. However, this constitutes stopping beyond the line, and according to Article 4, Item 5 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," it results in a 3-point deduction for failing to drive or stop as required at an intersection. Reversing after stopping beyond the line (attempting to avoid penalties by reversing after stopping beyond the line at a red light): Motor vehicles are not allowed to reverse at railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, or tunnels. Violations may result in a warning or fine. Accidentally running a red light behind a large vehicle (due to the large vehicle blocking the view, following it through the intersection): Drivers must maintain sufficient visibility to see the traffic signals ahead and ensure a safe braking distance. Generally, if a motor vehicle is photographed following a large vehicle through an intersection, it is considered running a red light due to rushing through the signal and will be penalized accordingly. Passing through an intersection during a yellow light (passing through the intersection when the signal turns yellow): Traffic authorities state that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light is flashing may continue to pass. However, if the driver continues to rush through after the yellow light is on, it will be considered running a red light if photographed.

What Causes Engine Stalling and Shaking at Idle?

The reasons for engine stalling and shaking at idle are: 1. Throttle valve clogging, carbon buildup, or abnormal opening; 2. Fuel injector carbon buildup or clogging; 3. Spark plug burning or damage; 4. Use of low-quality gasoline leading to fuel pump blockage; 5. Incomplete combustion of air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. When the engine starts and runs well from low to high speeds but stalls immediately after releasing the accelerator pedal or becomes unstable before stalling, this can be identified as an idle stalling fault. Solutions for vehicle idle shaking and stalling include: 1. Regularly clean the throttle valve; 2. Periodically clean fuel injectors to prevent carbon buildup; 3. Replace spark plugs; 4. Use gasoline from authorized gas stations.

What to Do When the Reversing Camera Turns Black and White?

The solutions for a reversing camera turning black and white are: 1. Check the wiring and the connection points of the installation; 2. Replace the video power cable; 3. Visit a repair shop to inspect and repair the chip. The reversing camera is a system in a car that allows the driver to monitor the video feed of the areas on both sides and behind the vehicle from inside the car, helping to prevent accidents. The reasons for the reversing camera turning black and white include: 1. Poor wiring contact; 2. Aging of the video power cable; 3. Prolonged use of the reversing camera leading to reduced chip photosensitivity; 4. Malfunction of the reversing camera display screen; 5. The camera being obstructed or malfunctioning.

What is the difference between a 1.4t engine and a 1.6t engine?

1.4t engine and 1.6t engine are mainly different in displacement: the displacement of 1.4t engine is 1.4l; the displacement of 1.6t engine is 1.6l. 1.4 and 1.6 both represent the engine displacement, which refers to the volume of fluid inhaled or discharged per stroke or cycle, and is an important parameter to measure a car. t represents an engine equipped with a turbocharger, which increases the intake air volume by compressing air. An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, which is divided into: 1. External combustion engine: fuel burns outside the engine; 2. Internal combustion engine: fuel burns inside the engine; 3. Gas turbine: combustion produces high-pressure gas, and the high-pressure gas is used to push the blades of the gas turbine to rotate to output power; 4. Jet engine: an engine that directly generates reaction thrust by the high-speed airflow ejected from the nozzle.

What is the difference between gear lubricating oil and engine oil?

The difference between gear lubricating oil and engine oil is: 1. Different working environments: Gear lubricating oil is mainly used in manual transmissions, reducers, and differentials; Engine oil is mainly used in automobile engines. 2. Different focuses: Gear lubricating oil focuses on protecting gears under high temperatures; Engine oil focuses on its fluidity at low temperatures. Gear lubricating oil, also known as transmission lubricating oil, is mainly made of antioxidants, antifoaming agents, and rust inhibitors. It can prevent gear surface wear and sintering, and comprehensively improve power transmission efficiency. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricating oil, can lubricate, clean, cool, seal, and reduce friction in the engine.
