Driving in the wrong direction results in a one-time deduction of 12 points. Additional information: According to Article 35 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles shall drive on the right side. Motor vehicle driving in the wrong direction is divided into two situations: 1. Driving in the wrong direction on a road section, or not following the prescribed direction on a one-way road: This type of violation constitutes a violation of prohibition signs. Due to factors such as narrow roads and high traffic volume, there are currently 31 one-way roads set up in urban areas to reduce traffic congestion. However, despite the presence of prominent traffic signs at intersections, some drivers still enter one-way roads in the wrong direction. 2. Driving in the wrong direction at an intersection: In China, driving is on the right side. Driving on the left side of a divided road is considered driving in the wrong direction. Motor vehicles driving in the wrong direction pose significant risks. Moreover, if a driver operating a motor vehicle in the wrong direction causes a traffic accident with a vehicle driving in the correct direction, the driver of the wrong-way vehicle bears full responsibility.

What are the uses of a driver's license besides driving?

Besides driving, a driver's license can also be used for purchasing train tickets, checking into hotels, and registering for medical appointments. Below are the other uses of a driver's license besides driving: 1. Buying train tickets: Some passengers may forget or lose their ID cards, but if they have a driver's license, they can present it when purchasing tickets. The ticket seller can provide the service because the number on the driver's license matches that on the ID card, serving as proof of identity. 2. Checking into hotels: If you forget to bring your ID card when checking in at the front desk, it can be very troublesome. If you can present your driver's license at this time, although the other party cannot use it to read the ID card chip for the procedure, they can make a copy of the driver's license as a basis. 3. Registering for medical appointments: The driver's license also contains information that can prove your identity. If you don't have your ID card when registering at a hospital, you can use your driver's license as an emergency measure.

Will traffic police check if halogen lights are replaced with LED lights?

Modifying headlights to LED is considered illegal modification and will be penalized by traffic police. The Traffic Safety Law explicitly prohibits replacing halogen headlights with LED or xenon headlights. If caught by traffic police on the road, a fine will be imposed. If you find your car lights not bright enough, you can choose to replace them with higher-wattage original factory lights (must be the same type of light source), and then file a record after replacement. Below is basic information about halogen headlights: 1. Halogen bulbs can operate at higher temperatures than ordinary incandescent bulbs, making them brighter and more efficient. 2. Halogen bulbs require quartz glass with a higher melting point. Since quartz glass cannot block ultraviolet rays, halogen bulbs usually need an additional ultraviolet filter. 3. If there is oil on the crystal glass of a halogen bulb, it will cause uneven temperature on the glass, reducing the bulb's lifespan. Therefore, when replacing halogen bulbs, avoid touching the glass with your hands.

What are the S-curve driving techniques?

At the same time, follow the principle of driving on the outer line. Generally, the first turn is a left turn, so you should drive on the right side. When the left corner of the car touches the right sideline, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left, maintaining a 90-degree steering angle to keep the left corner of the car pressing against the right sideline while driving. After completing the right line of the first turn, the left corner of the car has left the right sideline. At this point, keep the steering wheel steady until the right corner of the car touches the right sideline, then straighten the steering wheel. When you see the left one-third of the engine hood touching the left sideline of the right turn, first turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right and continue driving. After the vehicle exits the curve, align the front of the car with the S-curve exit, straighten the steering wheel, and continue driving forward to exit the curve test area.

Can I Claim Compensation for Issues with a New Car?

Can I Claim Compensation for Issues with a New Car? Here is the relevant information about claiming compensation for issues with a new car: 1. Relevant Regulations: The new automobile three-guarantee regulations stipulate that if major components such as the transmission or engine have inherent defects, and after diagnosis by the dealership and manufacturer, the vehicle cannot meet its intended function and usage conditions, you can request repair, return, or compensation. 2. Considerations: Be vigilant in inspecting and assessing whether the defect is due to inherent issues with major components like the transmission. If the following conditions are not met, you cannot claim your right to compensation: (1) Whether there are human factors, such as damage caused by your own operational errors. (2) Whether it is a simple electrical fault that can be resolved without disassembling components like the transmission, engine, or body. (3) Determining the severity of the fault requires some professional knowledge to understand whether the issue poses a safety hazard to the customer or user.

Judging Spark Plug Condition by Color?

Methods for judging spark plug condition by color: A normal spark plug's insulator skirt and electrodes should appear grayish-white, grayish-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug will have a reddish-brown insulator skirt. Methods for determining if a spark plug is damaged: Remove the spark plug and observe its condition based on the following color indicators. A normal spark plug's insulator skirt and electrodes should appear grayish-white, grayish-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug will have a reddish-brown insulator skirt, with electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm and no signs of electrode burning. If the spark plug has oil stains or deposits but isn't damaged, it can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plug is severely damaged with symptoms like blistering at the tip, black streaks, cracks, melted electrodes, etc., the cause of damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace with a new spark plug. Additionally, if the spark plug appears smoke-blackened, it indicates either incorrect heat range selection or rich fuel mixture, possibly with oil leakage.

Can Semi-Synthetic Engine Oil Be Used for One Year?

Semi-synthetic engine oil is not recommended for use over one year. Generally, mineral oil should be replaced every 3 months or 5,000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil every 6 months or 7,500 kilometers, and full-synthetic oil every 12 months or 10,000 kilometers. Below are specific methods for selecting engine oil for your car: 1. Performance selection: If you prioritize the longevity of the oil, you can choose Mobil oil; if you focus on the oil's cleaning ability for the engine, Shell lubricants can be used; if you need lubricants with strong oil film toughness, Castrol is recommended. 2. Driving conditions: For frequent driving in congested areas, older vehicles, or long-distance heavy-load transportation, the viscosity of the lubricant can be appropriately increased. 3. Engine type: For naturally aspirated engines, mineral oil and semi-synthetic oil can be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and operate under harsher conditions, requiring higher-grade lubricants with better fluidity, preferably full-synthetic oil.
