There are two situations for driving a motor vehicle in the wrong direction on urban roads: 1. Driving in the wrong lane is a violation that requires a deduction of 3 points and a fine in RMB. 2. Another situation is driving against traffic restrictions, which also requires a deduction of 3 points and a fine in RMB. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, the fine for driving a motor vehicle in the wrong direction on urban roads depends on the circumstances, and 3 points will be deducted. In severe cases, the driver's license may be revoked. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, driving a motor vehicle in the wrong direction refers to the following situations. 1. On roads with solid dividing lines, motor vehicles enter the opposite lane. Among them, roads with double solid lines or single solid lines must not be crossed under any circumstances. 2. On roads with dashed dividing lines, it is possible to borrow the opposite lane to overtake when safety is ensured, but once an accident occurs, the vehicle borrowing the lane will be deemed to be driving in the wrong direction.

I have driven for many years and know that driving in the wrong direction on city roads is extremely dangerous. Once, I accidentally took a wrong turn, but fortunately, I noticed it in time and nothing happened. However, this would result in a 12-point deduction. After losing points, not only do you have to retake the theoretical part of the driving test, but you also have to pay a fine of 500 yuan or more. With heavy traffic on city roads, driving in the wrong direction can easily cause accidents, ranging from minor collisions to serious injuries. I remember a colleague who lost his job because of this, as he couldn't drive to work after losing all his points. Now, I use navigation to double-check my route and avoid impulsive driving. Safety first is always the right approach—don't risk it just to save time.

I just got my driver's license recently, and my instructor often reminds me not to drive against traffic on urban roads, as it results in an immediate 12-point deduction. This news shocked me because losing all my points would mean having to suspend driving and attend educational training. During recent practice drives, I constantly remind myself to pay more attention to road signs and lane markings. If I make a mistake, dealing with it would be troublesome and costly due to fines. Urban roads are complex, and beginners are more prone to errors, so I need to gradually adapt and follow the rules.

How Often Should a Car Starter Be Replaced?

Car starters are generally replaced every ten years. Definition of a Starter: A car starter is a crucial component for starting the engine. It rotates by drawing power from the battery, thereby driving the engine's crankshaft to start the engine. When Replacement is Needed: Generally, car starters are highly durable. The most common reason for replacement is after prolonged vehicle use, when the carbon brushes inside the starter wear down too much from frequent starts and can no longer function even after adjustment. Another common issue is severe wear of the engagement gear, leading to starter failure and inability to start the engine.

What is the trick to never stalling when starting on a slope with a manual transmission?

When starting on a slope with a manual transmission, the most important trick to prevent the engine from stalling is the coordination between the clutch and the accelerator. The correct way to start on a slope: When starting, you need to engage the 1st gear, then slowly lift the clutch pedal with your left foot. Once you feel the clutch engaging, pause for a moment, then continue to slowly lift the clutch pedal with your left foot while gently pressing the accelerator pedal with your right foot. After the clutch is fully engaged, keep pressing the accelerator with your right foot, and you can shift up as the speed increases. Reasons why manual transmissions are prone to stalling when starting on a slope: Stalling during manual transmission starts is caused by lifting the clutch too quickly, so it's essential to practice clutch control.
