When a vehicle skids on a muddy road, correct the steering direction and gently apply the brakes. Here are some precautions to take when skidding occurs: 1. Avoid Sudden Braking: Do not brake suddenly, as this may cause the wheels to lock up and only support the vehicle, completely losing the ability to counteract the skid. Especially if the front wheels lock up, although they retain the function of changing direction, they cannot guide the vehicle's steering, leaving it in a completely out-of-control state. 2. Stay Calm: If the vehicle skids, remain calm. If the skid is caused by braking, stop braking immediately. If the vehicle skids to the left, steer to the left, and vice versa, but avoid excessive steering movements, as this may cause the vehicle to skid in the opposite direction. Do not use the handbrake, as most vehicles' handbrakes operate on the rear wheels, which can easily lead to skidding.

If the vehicle has safety issues and is subject to a manufacturer recall, the inspector will notify the owner of the recall status. 2. Clarified exterior inspection scope: The new regulations specify and relax the exterior inspection standards, allowing modifications such as grilles, pedals, roof racks, bumpers, and wheel rims during the inspection. 3.

How much does a 12R22.5 tire weigh?

12R22.5 multi-ply special tires can exceed 100KG. Definition of PR: PR stands for ply rating, which refers to the nominal number of cord layers in the tire rubber. It does not completely match the actual number of cord layers but serves as an important indicator of tire strength. The ply rating is marked in Chinese, such as 12-ply, or in English, such as "14P.R" meaning 14-ply. Common truck tires: Truck tires generally come in the following sizes: 12.00-20-18PR, 12.00R20-18PR, 10.00-20-18PR, 10.00R20-18PR.

Can the 14-speed transmission be used without the half-gear?

14-speed transmission can be used without the half-gear as long as the clutch is properly engaged. The specific introduction of the 14-speed transmission is as follows: 1. 14-speed transmission: The 14-speed transmission has a front auxiliary high-low half-gear switch and a rear auxiliary high-low gear switch on the gearshift lever. Through the high-low gear switch in front of the gearshift lever, gears 1, 2, 3, and 4 can be switched in the low-gear range, and gears 5, 6, and 7 can be switched in the high-gear range. The other 7 gears require the half-gear switch on the left side of the gearshift lever. The half-gear switch divides each forward gear into high and low half-gears. Combining the high-low gear with the half-gear switch forms 14 gears in total. 2. Summary of 14-speed transmission operation: Switching gears within the same gear range only requires toggling the half-gear switch without moving the gearshift lever; the high-low gear switch is only used when switching between the 4/5 gear range.

Tire characteristics: Tires usually need to support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, achieve contact with the road surface, and ensure the driving performance of the vehicle. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, and they endure various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperature effects during driving, so they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance.

What does 105w tire mean?

In the 105w on the tire, 105 is the load index of the tire, and the corresponding maximum load per tire is 925KG; w represents the speed rating of the tire, with W indicating a maximum speed of 270km/h. The load index is molded on the sidewall, indicating the maximum load limit of the tire. For driving safety, this load limit must not be exceeded. Overloaded tires may accumulate excessive heat and lead to sudden failure. The definition of the tire load index: It refers to the maximum load that the tire can carry when inflated to the specified pressure. It is usually represented by a number. The definition of the tire speed rating: It refers to the maximum speed allowed for the tire, generally indicated by uppercase English letters and marked on the sidewall of the tire. In addition to the model, the tire also displays the following common data: Tire cord material: Represented by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry the specified load under specified conditions. Letters from A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of the tire from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h.

What does the 12123 public welfare activity point reduction mean?

Learning the law and reducing points through public welfare activities refers to participating in civilized traffic guidance, traffic safety publicity, and other educational activities organized by the traffic safety management department of the public security authorities. To participate in these activities, you need to apply one day in advance. The activity duration is 1 hour, and upon completion, you can have 1 point deducted. Many people are unclear about civilized traffic guidance and traffic safety publicity. Essentially, civilized traffic guidance involves advising pedestrians not to cross the road randomly, correcting uncivilized traffic behaviors of electric bikes and bicycles, and distributing leaflets to passersby. The implementation of public welfare activities not only enhances drivers' initiative in learning road traffic safety laws and regulations but also allows drivers to influence a wide range of road traffic participants through their actions, fostering a good atmosphere for civilized and safe travel and consciously abandoning bad traffic habits. "Learning the law and reducing points" is a measure for licensed drivers who have been penalized with points due to traffic violations. By participating in online traffic safety learning and passing the exam, they can have their points reduced. Motor vehicle drivers who participate in road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning organized by the traffic management department of the public security authorities and pass the exam, or who participate in traffic safety public welfare activities at the place where their driver's license was issued and meet the relevant requirements, can apply for a reduction in traffic violation points. Reduction rules: After receiving traffic safety education as required, motor vehicle drivers who meet the conditions for point reduction can have points deducted from their current accumulated points, with a maximum cumulative reduction of 6 points. However, this cannot be used to reduce points for traffic violations that have not yet occurred.
