According to Article 49 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, a penalty of 3 points deduction and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. The content states: Motor vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, as well as at railway crossings, crosswalks, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or sections of road prone to danger. Therefore, making a U-turn on a crosswalk is a violation. Definition of yielding to pedestrians on crosswalks: Pedestrians walking on the right side of the crosswalk have not reached the centerline of the road. Vehicles driving on the left side of the road should slow down and allow pedestrians to pass safely on the crosswalk. Pedestrians waiting outside the boundary line of the motorized and non-motorized lanes. If they have not entered the road, vehicles should slow down and allow them to pass safely on the crosswalk. If pedestrians cross the boundary line between the motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles must stop; otherwise, it is a violation and should be penalized. When pedestrians enter the motorized lane from the crosswalk, vehicles must slow down and allow them to pass safely. If vehicles do not stop, it is a violation and should be penalized. Pedestrians waiting at the centerline of the road without entering the motorized lane. If vehicles do not stop, it is a violation and should be penalized. Pedestrians crossing the centerline of the road into the motorized lane. If vehicles do not stop, it is a violation and should be penalized. Pedestrians waiting in the median area separated by greenery. Vehicles must slow down and allow them to pass safely on the crosswalk. Permissible U-turn situations: Intersections with U-turn signs: 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 without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit no-U-turn or no-left-turn signs: If there is no explicit prohibition, U-turns are allowed. This means if there are no 'no U-turn' or 'no left-turn' signs and the centerline is not solid, U-turns are permitted. Yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines indicate no-parking zones at intersections prone to congestion. While parking is prohibited, U-turns are allowed unless there is a center divider. Intersections with U-turn traffic lights: If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions—U-turns are allowed only on green. No-left-turn signs with allowed U-turn signs: U-turns are permitted even if left turns are prohibited, but 'no U-turn' is not the same as 'no left-turn'. Precautions when making U-turns at intersections: Observe road markings. If the line is 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, U-turns are also prohibited, even if 'no U-turn' is not explicitly mentioned, as U-turns require a left turn. 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. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Failure to do so may result in full liability for any accidents. Near the intersection stop line, lanes often have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane may not always be for left turns; if it has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even without explicit signs.

What Causes a Manual Transmission Car to Stall at Idle?

Automatic transmission cars stalling at idle when the air conditioning is on can be caused by issues with clutch engagement, braking, etc. Clutch Engagement Issues: Novice drivers often struggle with clutch control, leading to situations where the clutch is released too quickly, causing the vehicle to stall unexpectedly. Therefore, when starting a manual transmission car, it's crucial to control the clutch properly by keeping the left foot steady. Although stalling is less common in automatic transmission cars, releasing the clutch too quickly can still cause the engine to stall. Braking Issues: Many beginners driving manual transmission cars forget to press the clutch when braking, especially during sudden stops, which can cause the car to stall. To prevent this, either shift to neutral or press the brake while simultaneously depressing the clutch. Fuel Depletion Issues: Some vehicles have inaccurate fuel gauges, showing residual fuel that may not be sufficient once the car starts moving, leading to stalling. Therefore, it's essential to refuel the car promptly to avoid stalling.

What are the brands of manual transmission cars?

Manual transmission cars include: BYD Song MAX, Toyota Corolla, FAW Besturn B70, Baojun 630, Haval H6, etc. The operation difficulty of automatic and manual transmissions is different: Manual transmissions mainly rely on human effort to press the clutch to complete gear shifting operations; automatic transmissions mainly rely on the hydraulic transmission principle of the torque converter to automatically complete gear shifting. The safety of automatic and manual transmissions is different: The neutral gear in manual transmission cars causes the vehicle to lose power, posing safety hazards during driving; automatic transmission cars cannot use neutral gear for driving, making this driving method safer. Manual transmission refers to manually shifting the gear lever to change the gear meshing device inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed change. Automatic transmission means the driver does not need to shift gears manually; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions.

Should You Look at the Right Mirror When Straightening the Wheel During Right Reverse Parking?

When straightening the wheel during right reverse parking, you should look at the right mirror. Reverse Parking: Reverse parking has been a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license since 2013. It assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle in a confined space. Reverse parking is one of the key evaluation points in the driver's test, specifically the skill of correctly reversing the vehicle into a parking space from both sides while in motion. There are three common types: The three most common types of reverse parking are: first, the "non"-shaped reverse parking, commonly found in large shopping malls. Second, the roadside "one"-shaped reverse parking, also known as parallel parking. Third, the less common diagonal reverse parking. About 70% of driving school students find parallel parking more challenging.

Why does the Magotan jerk when starting?

Car starting jitter and jerking reasons are as follows: Excessive carbon deposits: When there is too much carbon buildup on the throttle body, fuel injectors, or intake manifold, or when there is excessive carbon inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts, causing the engine to shake. Low cylinder pressure: After prolonged engine use, the gap between each cylinder liner and piston may become inconsistent. During cold starts, without proper oil lubrication, cylinders with larger gaps are prone to leaking a certain amount of high-temperature gas, thereby reducing power output, lowering oil and cylinder pressure, leading to insufficient power and causing the engine to shake. Faulty ignition coil: Once the ignition coil fails, such as cracking and leaking electricity, it will result in insufficient or lack of spark plug ignition capability. Consequently, the air-fuel mixture in that cylinder will not combust properly, leading to engine misfire, difficulty starting, and acceleration jitter.

Where is the OBD interface of Santana?

The OBD2 interface of the new Santana is located next to the engine computer. It is a rectangular interface connected with wires, used for communication between the car diagnostic computer and the vehicle's electronic control computer. Relevant information about OBD is as follows: 1. Introduction: OBD is the abbreviation of On-Board-Diagnostics in English, translated as "On-Board Diagnostic System" in Chinese. This system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check if the vehicle's exhaust exceeds the standard. If it exceeds the standard, a warning will be issued immediately. 2. Working Principle: When a system failure occurs, the fault (MIL) light or Check-Engine warning light will illuminate. At the same time, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) stores the fault information in the memory. The fault code can be read from the PCM through a certain program.
