Making a U-turn at a red light will result in a deduction of 6 points. This is because making a U-turn at a red light violates the regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law. According to the relevant provisions in the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Violations": driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in a deduction of 6 points for each offense. Examination scoring criteria: U-turn timing: Failure to correctly observe traffic conditions and choose the appropriate time for a U-turn will result in disqualification; U-turn location: Choosing an inappropriate location for a U-turn will result in disqualification; U-turn technique: One-step U-turn (using left or right intersections for a U-turn): When using the right intersection for a U-turn, turn on the right turn signal, slow down and select an appropriate gear, observe the traffic on the right, turn right, proceed appropriately, then turn on the left turn signal, observe the traffic ahead and behind, turn left, and complete the one-step U-turn safely; when using the left intersection for a U-turn, turn on the left turn signal, slow down and shift to a lower gear, observe the traffic on the left and ahead and behind, and turn appropriately based on the intersection position to complete the one-step U-turn. Road U-turn: Choose a wide section of the road with good visibility, slow down and shift to a lower gear, turn on the left turn signal, use the interior and exterior rearview mirrors and look sideways to observe the traffic ahead and behind, confirm safety, and quickly turn left; if the front of the vehicle reaches the edge of the road before the rear does, use the interior and exterior rearview mirrors and look sideways to observe the traffic ahead and behind, confirm safety, shift to reverse, start the vehicle and back up to a suitable position, stop, turn on the left turn signal, use the interior and exterior rearview mirrors and look sideways to observe the traffic ahead and behind, confirm safety, and quickly turn left until the front and rear of the vehicle are opposite to the original direction, start moving forward, and complete the U-turn; if the U-turn is completed in one step, start moving forward and complete the U-turn.

What are the hazards of forgetting to shift to P gear before turning off the engine?

The hazards of forgetting to shift to P gear before turning off the engine are: it will affect the lifespan of the transmission and engine, and not shifting to P gear can easily cause the car to roll, affecting safety. The correct operation for the owner should be: directly shift to P gear, then pull the handbrake lever, and finally turn off the engine. P gear is also called the parking gear, which relies on the engine's power to brake the vehicle. When the gear is shifted to P, a locking gear in the automatic transmission will engage to lock the transmission. The gears of an automatic transmission are P, R, N, and D. When in P gear, the automatic transmission is in neutral, and a mechanical lever will lock the output shaft to prevent the car from rolling. Of course, the gear lever should only be placed in P gear when the vehicle is completely stationary.

How to Maintain Your Car in Winter?

Methods for maintaining your car in winter: 1. Regularly check the cooling system, including the radiator, water pump, belt, hoses, and coolant reservoir; 2. Check if the antifreeze is low or deteriorated; 3. Check if the engine oil is low or deteriorated; 4. Ensure the battery electrolyte is not insufficient, keeping the plates submerged by about 10mm; 5. Try to avoid using tires that have been repaired once; 6. Check if the windshield washer fluid is sufficient; 7. If the wiper blades are frozen to the windshield, never rinse them with hot water directly. Instead, turn the air conditioning to hot air and set the airflow mode to the front windshield to allow the ice on the wiper blades to melt naturally.

What kind of glue is used for car bumpers?

Using AB glue is recommended for car bumpers. The application methods for AB glue are as follows: 1. First method: At room temperature (25°C), clean the surfaces to be bonded. Then apply A glue and B glue in a 1:1 ratio either by overlapping application or by applying A glue on one surface and B glue on the other, then press them together. After 2-3 adjustments, fix for 5-10 minutes. 2. Second method: At room temperature (25°C), clean the surfaces to be bonded. Mix A glue and B glue in a 1:1 ratio using a plastic mixing sheet, then apply to the surfaces to be bonded within 3 minutes and fix for 5-10 minutes. 3. Precautions: Do not mix large quantities of glue at once, ensure good ventilation during use, and avoid ingestion as the glue contains acrylate odor.

Will an automatic car stall if the brake is released too quickly?

An automatic car will not stall if the brake is released too quickly. Automatic cars use a torque converter to achieve automatic clutch engagement. Pressing the brake disengages the clutch, and releasing the brake re-engages it. Before engaging a gear, pressing the brake acts like pressing the clutch. While driving, pressing the brake first applies braking and then disengages the clutch, also preventing rollback. Here is additional information: 1. An automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. 2. Typically, automatic cars have six gear positions, listed from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L.

How Long After Replacing a Car Windshield Can You Drive?

You can drive 1 to 6 hours after replacing a car windshield. Here are the precautions for driving after windshield replacement: 1. Control speed: Do not exceed 60 km/h. 2. Tape temperature: Remove the auxiliary fixing tape after 2 days (note the temperature must be above 5°C; if lower, extend the time). 3. Smooth roads: Avoid excessively bumpy roads (uncured adhesive may cause glass displacement, leading to wind/water leaks). 4. No car washing: Wait at least 2 days before removing the tape, then resume normal use. 5. No tinting: Avoid applying window film for 7 days. After rear windshield replacement, do not open windows for 3 days to prevent displacement caused by wind pressure.

Is There Any Harm in Doing the First Maintenance Before 3000 Kilometers?

There is no harm in performing the first maintenance before 3000 kilometers. Additional information: 1. First maintenance of a car: The first maintenance of a car can be referred to as the break-in maintenance. Depending on the model, the mileage for break-in maintenance ranges from 3000 to 5000 kilometers. Within this mileage, the first 1500 kilometers are considered the cautious period, which is the key focus of the break-in maintenance. 2. Precautions during the cautious period: During the cautious period, the primary concern is to avoid overloading the vehicle and not to drive at full capacity for extended periods. Choosing smooth roads for driving can help maintain the new car's operation in a fluid state. 3. Benefits of highway driving during the break-in period: Driving on highways during the break-in period is beneficial for the vehicle, as not only the engine but also the transmission, four-wheel mechanical systems, and tires need to warm up continuously at certain speeds to achieve optimal interaction and performance.
