What does the violation code 60230 mean?

Violation code 60230 means: Driving a motor vehicle on roads other than expressways or urban expressways without following the designated lane. According to the relevant regulations of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," the penalty includes: Demerit points (deduction): 0 points; Fine amount: 50 yuan; Other penalties: None. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, categorized according to the principles of the traffic law. The sequence from left to right is as follows: the first digit is the behavior classification code, the second digit is the demerit point classification code, the third and fourth digits are the sequential code, and the fifth digit indicates the item number. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category in the Road Traffic Law; Second digit: Demerit point classification code, indicating the category of demerit points for the traffic violation; Third, fourth, and fifth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of the violation within the same behavior classification. For example: 13035—"1" indicates motor vehicle behavior, the second digit "3" indicates a deduction of 3 points, and "035" indicates the fifth item of the third violation under the 3-point deduction category. Behavior classification code violation descriptions: Codes starting with "1" indicate motor vehicle traffic, e.g., 1003; Codes starting with "2" indicate non-motor vehicle traffic, e.g., 2002; Codes starting with "3" indicate pedestrian or passenger traffic, e.g., 3030; Codes starting with "4" indicate expressway traffic, e.g., 4002; Codes starting with "5" indicate other regulations, e.g., 5005; Codes starting with "7" indicate implementation rules of provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities, e.g., 7008; Codes starting with "8" indicate local regulations of cities (prefectures, autonomous prefectures, or leagues), e.g., 8606. There are four common ways to check motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic branches in various districts and counties to query through touch terminals; Log in to the external service websites of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of each city, locate the vehicle violation query, enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to query; Call the inquiry hotline (area code + 114); Use the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to query. For the violation of driving a motor vehicle on roads other than expressways or urban expressways without following the designated lane, you can handle it through the Traffic Management app. After logging in, enter the violation handling process, complete the processing, and make the payment.

What is the Principle of Air Brakes?

Air brakes are a type of braking system. Here is a detailed introduction to the principle of air brakes: Air Brakes: The main components of air brakes include two or more air reservoirs, one brake master cylinder, one quick-release valve for the front wheels, one relay valve for the rear wheels, four brake wheel cylinders, four adjustment backs, four cams, and eight brake shoes. Hydraulic Brakes: Composed of a brake master cylinder and a brake fluid reservoir. Heavy-duty trucks typically use air brakes, while small vehicles usually use hydraulic brakes. Additionally, both the brake master cylinder and brake wheel cylinders in automobiles are hydraulic brake cylinders. Brake Wheel Cylinder: An essential component of the braking system. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake master cylinder sends brake fluid under pressure through the pipelines to each brake wheel cylinder.

Consequences of Not Wearing a Seat Belt?

Survey data shows that in a potentially fatal car accident, wearing a seat belt can increase the survival rate of vehicle occupants by 60%. In a frontal collision, wearing a seat belt can reduce the fatality rate by 57%; in a side collision, it can reduce the fatality rate by 44%; and in a rollover, it can reduce the fatality rate by 80%. Additional information on correctly wearing a seat belt: 1. Waist: The lap belt should be worn snugly across the hips, just touching the thigh bones. In a collision, the force will be applied to the pelvic bones, avoiding serious injuries caused by the belt tightening around the abdomen. 2. Shoulder: The shoulder belt should be worn across the shoulder and chest. These parts of the body can better withstand the restraining force of the seat belt. 3. Fastening: To ensure the lap belt is tight, pull down on the lap belt at the buckle end while pulling up on the shoulder belt.

Can Water-Damaged Cars Be Covered by Insurance?

Under the condition that the car owner has purchased vehicle damage insurance, water-damaged cars can be covered by insurance. However, if only compulsory traffic insurance is purchased, the insurance company will not provide compensation. Below is relevant information about vehicle wading: 1. Introduction to Vehicle Wading: As the name suggests, vehicle wading refers to driving a vehicle on low-lying, waterlogged roads, passing through water. This usually occurs during rainy weather in low-lying areas where poor drainage leads to water accumulation on the road. 2. Precautions: Before wading, observe the road conditions carefully. Maintain steady power while in the water. After wading, check the electrical system. If a car stalls in the water, the main cause is usually water entering the exhaust pipe, though in some cases, electrical damage may also occur. Once a car stalls in the water, do not attempt to restart it, as this may cause water to enter the intake manifold and damage the valves, potentially leading to severe engine failure. Instead, the car should be towed to a 4S shop immediately for professional handling.

When is the Best Time to Open a Car Sunroof?

Generally, sunroofs are particularly suitable to be opened during autumn and winter. Here are the relevant details: Best Seasons to Open the Sunroof: When the weather gradually transitions into late autumn and winter. The car interior needs ventilation, but opening the windows feels too cold. At this time, opening the sunroof can quickly expel the stale air from the vehicle. Negative Pressure Ventilation: When driving on the highway, if you want to quickly remove the interior air but the external circulation fan is insufficient, opening the sunroof will naturally freshen the air. This utilizes the negative pressure ventilation method. Rapid Cooling: During the scorching summer heat, prolonged exposure to the sun rapidly increases the interior temperature. Many car owners immediately turn on the air conditioning at maximum fan speed to cool the interior. For cars with a sunroof, driving while using negative pressure to extract the hot air can quickly lower the interior temperature by 3-5 degrees. This method is simple, fast, reduces fuel consumption, and is highly effective—why not use it? Quick Defogging: Summer brings frequent rain, and the high humidity outside after rainfall can cause fogging inside the car while driving. At this time, you can open the sunroof to draw out the hot air inside, easily eliminating the fog. There’s no need to open the side windows, and you won’t have to worry about rain blowing into the car.

What Happens When the Oil Level Reaches the Maximum Mark on the Dipstick?

Adding oil beyond the maximum mark on the dipstick can have negative effects. Filling the oil to the maximum mark on the dipstick increases the rotational resistance of the crankshaft, leading to a decrease in the engine's output power. Additionally, the residue from burned oil can accumulate on the walls of the combustion chamber, reducing its space and causing a decrease in the engine's compression ratio. If the oil level exceeds the maximum mark on the dipstick, it is recommended that the owner drain some oil. Otherwise, it can increase the engine's operational resistance and may potentially damage the catalytic converter. Oil is often referred to as the lifeblood of the engine, serving functions such as lubrication, cleaning, sealing, heat dissipation, buffering, and rust prevention. Without oil, the engine cannot function properly. When adding oil, it is sufficient to ensure the oil level is between the min and max marks on the dipstick. The oil level should not fall below the min mark, as this can lead to inadequate lubrication in the engine. The vehicle's manual will specify the mileage interval for oil changes. With continuous improvements in engine technology, the recommended oil change intervals have been appropriately extended. Generally, electric vehicles using fully synthetic oil can have their oil changed every 1,000 kilometers. Drivers should adhere as closely as possible to the oil change intervals specified in the vehicle's operating manual.
