The method to install a fallen rearview mirror in the car is as follows: 1. There are two clips on each of the upper and lower long edges at the rear inside the car, with the lower two being elastic and adjustable in position; 2. When installing the rearview mirror, first diagonally hook the lower two clips onto the mounting plate fixed on the glass, then lift it upward until the upper two fixed clips are also hooked on. Release your hand and adjust the position accordingly. The function of the rearview mirror: It reflects the conditions behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly see these areas clearly, expanding the driver's field of vision, and enhancing safety during reversing and driving.

The rearview mirror in my car has fallen off several times, all due to adhesive loosening. During installation, the first step is to thoroughly clean the windshield bonding area using alcohol wipes and wait for it to dry completely. Next, prepare strong double-sided tape—it's recommended to purchase automotive-specific brands like 3M. After removing the backing film, gently press the tape onto the mirror base, align it properly, and firmly press for several minutes to ensure full adhesion. Don't rush to drive off afterward; let the adhesive cure for at least an hour. During this time, check if the angle is correct—adjust it from the driver's seat to ensure an unobstructed view of the road behind. If the bracket is damaged, replace it with a new mirror, measuring the dimensions carefully when selecting a compatible model to avoid blind spots. Safety comes first—never skip proper adhesion, as detachment at high speeds is extremely dangerous. Before driving, test the mirror's stability by gently pulling it to confirm it doesn't move. During regular car maintenance, inspect the adhesive point to prevent dust buildup.

Is it serious to help others handle non-point-deducting traffic violations?

According to relevant regulations, impersonating others to handle traffic violations will result in detention and fines. To process vehicle violations, the vehicle does not need to be present, and it can be handled by an agent, but the agent must present their identification documents. Below is additional information: 1. Point deduction: A maximum of three driver's licenses can be used to deduct points for one vehicle, and the ID card of the person caught must be presented during the point deduction process. If it is discovered that someone is substituting for others to deduct points for profit, their driver's license will be suspended for six months, and they will be fined. 2. Precautions: For any driver who, within one year, deducts points for more than three different license plate vehicles not owned by themselves, or if more than three drivers handle violations for the same license plate vehicle, they will be included in a key suspect list for substitution processing. Traffic violation processing services will be suspended, and investigations will be conducted into suspected substitution handling behaviors.

What does highway surrogate driving mean?

Highway surrogate driving is another type of chauffeur service, only differing in the routes taken. Below are some highway driving tips: 1. Understand relevant regulations: The leftmost lane is a temporary overtaking lane and should not be occupied for long periods. The third lane is generally for large vehicles, so maintaining distance is crucial. The far right is the emergency lane, typically used for rescue operations; non-emergency vehicles should not occupy it. 2. Stay focused: Maintain 100% concentration, keep your vision far ahead, and maintain a safe distance. 3. Make slight steering adjustments: When driving on the highway, avoid large steering movements. Hold the steering wheel firmly and make only minor adjustments when avoiding obstacles. 4. Change one lane at a time: At high speeds, it's easier for novice drivers to misjudge vehicles behind them. Changing two lanes consecutively takes longer and increases the risk of rear-end collisions.

What happens if you start the car without shifting to neutral?

Neutral parking mainly depends on whether it's an automatic or manual transmission. Manual transmission vehicles are not affected. The consequences of parking an automatic transmission car in neutral and the correct method for parking and turning off the engine are as follows: 1. Neutral prerequisite: Turning off the engine in neutral is not a problem for the car. The engine can only be turned off in N (neutral) or P (park) gear. Turning off the engine in D (drive) or R (reverse) gear can damage the transmission. The prerequisite for neutral is to ensure the car is on a flat surface to prevent rolling. 2. Correct method for parking and turning off the engine: Shift from the driving gear to N gear, stay in N gear for 0.5-1 second, then directly push to P gear, and then apply the handbrake. 3. Gear shifting: This operation ensures that the gear is not switched twice in a row during shifting. The action should be smooth. Each gear has a notch, and although you pass through R gear, you are not actually shifting to R gear.
