Methods to determine when to replace car tires: 1. Check the tire wear condition. When the car tires show severe wear and reach the wear limit, replacement is needed; 2. Observe the rubber aging condition of the tires. When the tire rubber shows severe aging and cracking, replacement is required; 3. When tires exhibit severe uneven wear or are deformed due to strong impacts, replacement is necessary; 4. When a tire puncture has a wound larger than 6mm, it needs to be replaced. Tires, commonly referred to as such, are usually made of wear-resistant rubber materials and can be divided into solid tires and pneumatic tires, with pneumatic tires consisting of an inner tube and an outer tire. Generally, manufacturers set the service life of tires at 3 years. If a vehicle is driven 20,000 kilometers a year, replacement can be considered after 2 to 3 years.

Renewal and inspection must meet the following conditions: The holder of a large bus, tractor, city bus, medium bus, or large truck has no demerit points in the current scoring cycle, or the holder of other types of driver's licenses has not accumulated 12 demerit points in the current scoring cycle. The applicant has no pending road traffic safety violations or traffic accidents. The holder of a large bus, tractor, city bus, medium bus, or large truck driver's license who has demerit points in a scoring cycle, or the holder of other types of driver's licenses who caused a traffic accident resulting in death and bears equal or greater responsibility but has not had their motor vehicle driver's license revoked, has completed the inspection education.

Is it permissible to make phone calls while driving in case of emergencies?

It is not permissible to make phone calls while driving in case of emergencies. The following are relevant regulations and prohibited behaviors when operating a motor vehicle. Behaviors that compromise driving safety: After the newly revised "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" was promulgated, it came into effect on January 1, 2013, stipulating that: behaviors such as making or answering handheld phone calls while driving that compromise safety will incur a 2-point penalty. Additionally, making phone calls while driving also endangers personal safety. The following behaviors are prohibited when driving a motor vehicle: Driving when the doors or compartments are not properly closed; hanging or placing items within the front and rear windows of the motor vehicle's cab that obstruct the driver's view; making or answering handheld phone calls, watching television, or engaging in other activities that compromise driving safety.

Will a rear-end collision result in penalty points, and how many?

Whether a rear-end collision results in penalty points depends on the circumstances. If it is merely a traffic accident without any violations, no points will be deducted. However, if traffic laws are violated with illegal actions, penalty points will be imposed. Tips to prevent rear-end collisions: When driving at speeds exceeding 100 km/h on highways, maintain a safe distance of at least 100 meters from the vehicle ahead. Regularly check the vehicle behind you; if it is following too closely, lightly tap the brakes to alert it. If traffic ahead is dense and moving slowly, turn on the hazard lights to remind the following vehicle to slow down. Liability determination in rear-end collisions: Generally, the rear driver bears full responsibility in a rear-end collision. However, if the front vehicle was reversing, rolling backward, or forcibly changing lanes, the front driver may be at fault. Liability is determined based on the role of each party's actions in causing the accident and the severity of their negligence.

Why Is There a Clicking Sound When Starting an Automatic Transmission Car?

When starting an automatic transmission car and pressing the brake, a clicking sound may occur, which can be caused by various factors. For example, internal transmission issues or excessive wear can lead to gaps, resulting in play during startup and producing the clicking sound. Human factors that may cause a clicking sound when shifting gears in an automatic transmission include: 1. Shifting before the car comes to a complete stop: Normally, drivers stop the car completely before shifting the gear lever from D to P. If the car is shifted to P before stopping, the P-gear lock hook inside the transmission will hit the gear, producing a clicking sound. This operation can cause wear or even breakage of the lock hook, and in severe cases, it may render the transmission unusable. 2. Incorrect operation sequence when parking on a slope: If P gear is engaged before applying the handbrake, the vehicle's sliding force will be entirely borne by the P-gear lock hook, keeping the lock hook and gear under tension. In this case, shifting from P to other gears will produce a sound.

Why Are Top Supercars Mostly Manual Transmission?

Reasons why automatic transmissions are unsuitable for racing cars: lower shifting efficiency, greater power loss; inability to withstand high torque. Manual transmissions are lighter than automatic ones, with manual transmission cars generally weighing about 50kg less than automatic transmission cars. Physical mass affects acceleration, so manual transmission cars are also slightly faster than automatic ones by about 1.5 seconds. Supercars: Almost all are semi-automatic, meaning they can be manually controlled or automatically adjusted. Sports cars emphasize control and speed, both of which automatic transmissions generally cannot perfectly achieve. To obtain a better driving experience, manual shifting is necessary. Manual Transmission Introduction: Manual transmission cars have only one gearbox and one clutch, but sports cars have dual clutches—one responsible for even-numbered gears and the other for odd-numbered gears—ensuring uninterrupted power transmission, thus enabling automatic shifting. They also have a manual mode, similar to semi-automatic transmissions. Sports cars typically use paddle shifters for gear changes, a basic configuration for sports cars. Supercars, with their powerful gearboxes and clutches, can shift gears very quickly, completing a shift in as little as 0.3 seconds.
