When the entire vehicle crosses the stop line, meaning both the front and rear wheels have crossed the stop line but not the opposite stop line, it is referred to as over-the-line stopping. Over-the-line stopping is not considered running a red light, but it still results in penalty points. According to Article 11, Item 7 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Violation Scoring Standards': failing to drive or stop as required at an intersection results in a deduction of 3 points. Running a red light is clearly defined in the 'Road Traffic Safety Law'. Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light permits passage, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage, and driving through an intersection when the light is red constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. Running a red light refers to the act where the vehicle is within the stop line, the signal ahead is already red, but the vehicle continues to move forward until both the front and rear wheels have completely crossed the stop line. This is determined by capturing three photos via electronic cameras: A photo of the vehicle crossing the intersection stop line, showing the red light and license plate number. A photo of the vehicle completely crossing the stop line, showing the red light and license plate number. A photo of the vehicle continuing to move, comparing changes in the vehicle's position, showing the red light and license plate number. Capturing these three photos confirms the act of running a red light. Running a red light is not considered illegal under the following circumstances: Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles. If captured by surveillance cameras while yielding, the act of running a red light will not be recorded during manual review. Even if recorded, one can apply for reconsideration at the traffic police department. Extreme weather conditions: When visibility is so low that even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights. The photos capturing the violation may be blurry, and mistakenly running a red light will not result in penalties from the traffic police. Emergency situations: When a citizen transports a critically ill patient, they can present proof from the hospital or the person being assisted to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation record can be expunged. If possible, it is best to call an ambulance to avoid traffic accidents caused by running a red light. Traffic police direction: During peak hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at important intersections. Drivers should follow the gestures of the traffic police.

Why does the Honda CR-V cool down slowly?

It is common in daily life for the Honda CR-V to have slow cooling. Excessive dirt in the air conditioning refrigerant: Increased resistance reduces the flow of refrigerant to the expansion valve, leading to ineffective cooling of the car's air conditioning system. Air entering the air conditioning system: Once air enters, it can cause excessive pressure in the refrigerant lines and poor refrigerant circulation. This type of fault mainly occurs due to degraded sealing of the cooling system or incomplete vacuuming during maintenance. Reduced heat dissipation capacity of the condenser: Due to varying working environments, the condenser located in front of the car's engine can become covered with oil, dirt, or debris, thereby reducing its heat dissipation capacity.

What does the kilometer number next to the fuel gauge on the dashboard mean?

The kilometer number next to the fuel gauge on the dashboard indicates the remaining driving range. Here are some related explanations: 1. Three water droplets: The three water droplets symbol near the fuel gauge on the car dashboard is a warning for the oil-water separator. Modern car dashboards feature various indicator or warning lights under the panel cover, such as coolant level warning light, fuel level indicator, washer fluid level indicator, charging indicator, high/low beam indicator, transmission gear position indicator, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) indicator, traction control indicator, and Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) airbag warning light. 2. Oil-water separator warning precautions: Pay attention to adjusting the valve opening of the drainage pipeline to maintain pressure inside the separator, which helps discharge the contaminated oil from the separator.

How Often Should Mercedes-Benz Brake Pads Be Replaced?

Mercedes-Benz front brake pads need to be replaced approximately every 40,000 kilometers, while the rear brake pads should be replaced around every 80,000 kilometers. Importance of Brake Pads: Brake pads are crucial for driving safety. If they are excessively worn, braking performance will deteriorate, increasing the risk of accidents. Maintenance and Inspection Tips: Although most Mercedes-Benz front brake pads are replaced between 35,000 to 40,000 kilometers and rear brake pads around 80,000 kilometers, individual driving habits vary. Some drivers use their brakes more frequently, which can lead to premature wear over time. Therefore, vehicle owners should prioritize regular maintenance and inspections, closely monitoring the wear level of their brake pads. Replace them as soon as necessary to ensure driving safety.

What should be paid attention to when preparing to park?

Parking precautions are as follows: 1. No reverse parking: When parking temporarily on a street where it is allowed, park on the right side with the wheels no more than 30 cm from the edge of the sidewalk. The distance between sequential parking should be more than two meters, and parallel parking is not allowed. Under no circumstances, in any situation or at any location, should you park in reverse. 2. Night parking: When parking on the side of the road at night, turn on the width indicator lights and tail lights to prevent collisions. 3. Slow parking: Park on the right side of the road or in designated areas. Before parking, reduce speed or coast in neutral, and use turn signals or hand gestures to alert vehicles behind and nearby pedestrians. Slowly approach the right side of the road or the parking spot, gently press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a stop.
