Making a U-turn over double solid lines is a traffic violation. According to Article 93 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, violators will be fined 200 yuan and receive 3 penalty points. On long roads, solid white lines are usually present in the middle section or before intersections. If the lines are yellow dashed or white dashed, U-turns are allowed. However, U-turns are strictly prohibited over any solid lines. Permissible U-turn situations: If there is a clear U-turn sign at an intersection, U-turns are allowed. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. If there is no traffic light, make a U-turn based on the specific situation, ensuring it does not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. U-turns are allowed at intersections without explicit "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs: If there are no signs explicitly prohibiting U-turns, you can perform a U-turn. "No explicit prohibition" means the intersection lacks signs like "No U-turn," "No Left Turn," or solid center lines. In such cases, U-turns are permitted. U-turns are also allowed over yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, important facility entrances, or other designated areas. Stopping on these grid lines (including waiting for traffic lights) is a violation. Although parking is prohibited in yellow grid zones, U-turns are allowed as long as there are no central barriers. Yellow grid lines without barriers are equivalent to "U-turn permitted." Intersections with U-turn traffic lights: This is straightforward—if there is a U-turn traffic light, follow it. U-turns are only allowed when the light is green. When "No Left Turn" and "U-turn Permitted" signs appear together: U-turns are allowed, but left turns are prohibited. Note that "No U-turn" is not the same as "No Left Turn." Precautions when making U-turns at intersections: Observe road markings. If the lines are solid, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable U-turn location. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign ahead, U-turns are also prohibited at that intersection, even if there is no explicit "No U-turn" sign. This is because U-turns and left turns involve similar movements, and a U-turn always requires a left turn first. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Perform the maneuver only if it does not interfere with the normal flow of traffic. Otherwise, you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes usually have guiding arrows for vehicle direction. The leftmost lane may not always have a left-turn arrow. If a straight arrow is present, U-turns are prohibited even if there are no explicit "No U-turn" signs. U-turns are not allowed on pedestrian crosswalks and are considered traffic violations.

How to Check if the Driving School Withdrawal is Successful?

To inquire about the driving school withdrawal, you need to visit the driving school with your ID card. After registering for a motor vehicle driver's license, if you are unable to take the exam, you should promptly complete the withdrawal procedures. If you have already completed the exam for Subject 1, you need to finish all exams within three years or complete the withdrawal procedures. Below is information on how soon you can reapply to a driving school after withdrawal: 1. Generally, you can reapply to a driving school immediately after completing the withdrawal. However, some local systems may experience delays, typically requiring a wait of 2-3 days. The exact duration depends on the local regulations, and you can also consult the local vehicle management office. 2. The driving school file is similar to a student file and mainly includes the "Teaching Schedule," "Training Process/Time," "Student Information Registration Form," "Personal Driving Materials," etc. If the file is not completely canceled, the candidate cannot apply to another driving school elsewhere.

What was the China National Emission Standard for cars in 2010?

In 2010, cars could meet either China National IV or China National III emission standards, depending on the specific model. Below is an introduction to the China National IV standard: 1. Actual situation of China National IV vehicles: Many vehicles produced after 2009 could already meet the China National IV emission standard, with some high-end models achieving it as early as 2007 or 2008. However, most vehicles produced before 2009 did not meet the China National IV emission standard. 2. Implementation date of China National IV standard: The China National IV standard was piloted in 2010 and fully implemented in 2011, replacing the previous China National III standard. Automakers typically produce vehicles that comply with national emission standards in advance, especially for mid-to-high-end models, which often meet the China National IV standard earlier.

Which is Higher-End: Brabus or Maybach?

Maybach holds a higher status. Maybach has long been hailed as a 'mobile palace,' with the all-new Maybach S-Class representing the pinnacle of global automotive craftsmanship. Here are the details: 1. Maybach: Maybach is a luxury sedan symbolizing exclusivity and perfection. The core of this model lies in its interior, which is almost entirely wrapped in premium leather, exuding opulence. Beyond active and passive safety features, it boasts a wealth of additional functionalities. For instance, the car is equipped with a surround sound system, transforming the cabin into a private mobile concert hall. Thus, the Maybach S-Class far surpasses its counterpart, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, in prestige. 2. Brabus: Brabus models are modified versions of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, enhanced by the Brabus tuning house. Post-modification, Brabus cars exhibit formidable power and meticulously crafted interiors, maintaining the brand's consistent high standards. Examples like the Brabus G-Class, Brabus 40S, and Brabus 60S rightfully earn the title 'King of Mercedes.' However, compared to Maybach, they still fall slightly short in overall refinement.

How to Shift Gears in a Fast 16-Speed Transmission?

Introduction to shifting gears in a Fast 16-speed transmission is as follows: 1. The 16-speed transmission uses a dual-H shifting mechanism. Reverse gear and gears 1-8 are in the low range, while gears 9-16 are in the high range. The neutral position is located between gears 5-8 and 9-12. 2. To switch between high and low ranges, you can use your palm to push the shift lever left or right. The switching between high and low ranges is automatically achieved during gear selection, similar to an 8-speed transmission, but with more gears. The switching between odd and even gears is controlled by the up and down paddles on the shift lever—up for upshifting and down for downshifting. 3. The multi-speed transmission has two positions: high range and low range. When parked, the gear lever should be placed in the neutral position of the low range. When engaging reverse gear, the vehicle should be stopped first before shifting to avoid damaging internal transmission components. Engaging reverse gear requires greater shifting force to overcome the resistance of the reverse lock. 4. Low range: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8; High range: 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16; Odd gears: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15; Even gears: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16. 5. When upshifting, the clutch should be released slowly. However, as the vehicle speed increases and higher gears are engaged, under normal RPM and gear conditions, the faster the speed, the quicker the clutch can be released during shifting. However, the speed difference between gears during shifting should not be too large.
