Here are the methods to determine if a vehicle is driving in the wrong direction: 1. On roads with solid dividing lines, if a motor vehicle enters the opposite lane. Among these, roads with double solid lines or single solid lines must not be crossed under any circumstances. 2. On roads with dashed dividing lines, it is possible to borrow the opposite lane for overtaking when safety is ensured, but once an accident occurs, the vehicle borrowing the lane will be deemed as driving in the wrong direction. 3. On roads with one-way signs, any motor vehicle entering is considered to be driving in the wrong direction. Here is additional information: 1. According to Article 90 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," motor vehicle drivers who violate traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules will be given a warning or fined. If there are other provisions in this law, penalties will be imposed according to those provisions. 2. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Order No. 123 of the Ministry of Public Security), driving a motor vehicle in the wrong direction will result in a deduction of 3 points.

What are the traffic restriction rules for out-of-town vehicles in Guangzhou?

The core content of Guangzhou's traffic restriction rules for out-of-town vehicles is the 'Four On, Four Off' policy. This means that non-Guangzhou registered medium and small passenger vehicles (including temporary license plate vehicles) entering the controlled area cannot drive continuously for more than 4 days (calendar days, including weekends). They must wait at least 4 calendar days before entering again. The restriction applies 24 hours a day, with no distinction between peak and off-peak hours. Guangzhou's electronic police monitoring system enforces this policy by capturing violations. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law and Guangdong Province Road Traffic Safety Regulations, violators will be fined 200 RMB and receive 3 penalty points. For violations of these management measures, the number of violations will be calculated based on the calendar days when the violations occurred, with each vehicle being penalized once per calendar day.

In which year did China IV vehicles begin?

China IV vehicles began on July 1, 2011. The China 4 emission standard was implemented in 2011 and lasted until 2018 when the China 5 standard was introduced. Vehicles produced between 2011 and 2017 all adhered to the China 4 standard. The China 4 standard required a reduction of approximately 50% in the emission of various pollutants compared to the China 3 standard. The reason for frequent updates to emission standards is due to the increasing number of vehicles on the road, which has led to a growing impact of vehicle exhaust on environmental pollution. Vehicle exhaust contains harmful gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, and emission standards are established to limit the discharge of these gases.

How Many Types of Spare Tires Are There?

There are 2 types of spare tires: 1. Full-size spare tire: The specifications and size are exactly the same as the other 4 tires on the vehicle, and it can replace any temporarily or already unusable tire; 2. Non-full-size spare tire: The diameter and width of the tire are slightly smaller than the other 4 tires, and it can only be used as a temporary replacement. Moreover, it can only be used on non-driving wheels, and the maximum speed should not exceed 80 km/h. The spare tire is actually for emergency use and is not a tire for long-term use. Regardless of whether the spare tire is wide or narrow, the manufacturer has special production and usage requirements. Since the spare tire is not used for long-term operation on the vehicle and has no wear, a tire without wear is different from a tire that has been completely worn out. Using a spare tire on the vehicle itself poses certain safety hazards.

Does passing through when the green light flashes and turns yellow count as running a red light?

Whether passing through when the green light flashes and turns yellow counts as running a red light depends on two situations: 1. If the vehicle has already crossed the stop line when the yellow light turns on, it can continue to pass and does not count as running a yellow light; 2. If the vehicle has not crossed the stop line when the yellow light turns on and forces its way through, it will be considered as running a red light. Running a red light refers to the behavior of a motor vehicle violating the prohibition of passage during the red light phase at a signal-controlled intersection or road section, crossing the stop line and continuing to drive. Running a red light once results in a deduction of 6 points and a fine of 200 yuan. According to the new regulations on running red lights, it is only considered as running a red light if the vehicle is within the stop line, then passes through the stop line and the entire intersection.
