Steps for observing points and lines in curve driving: 1. When the midpoint of the car hood touches the right yellow line, gradually steer to the left, starting with half a turn. Keep the left corner of the hood aligned with the yellow line. If the left corner is about to go beyond the yellow line, steer a bit more. If the left corner cannot reach the yellow line, steer back slightly, making continuous minor adjustments. 2. When the car hood is at the middle of the curve transition point, quickly straighten the steering wheel, usually by turning it back about one full turn. 3. When the midpoint of the car hood touches the left yellow line, steer to the right by half a turn initially, then make gradual adjustments, following the curve. During driving, avoid prolonged one-handed operation unless necessary, and do not rest your hand on the gear shift or window frame for extended periods. Do not turn the steering wheel too forcefully or make sudden movements. Avoid turning the steering wheel when the vehicle is stationary. When driving on bumpy roads, hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands to prevent loss of control and potential accidents.

I remember when I first got my driver's license, the S-curve was my biggest fear. The clumsy method taught by the instructor turned out to be practical. The key is to focus on the angle between the 1/3 position of the car's front and the lane line. For example, when turning left, watch the right front corner of the car—if it stays close to the inside of the right line, the position is just right. Also, keep an eye on the rearview mirror to ensure the distance between the car body and the white line remains about two fingers' width. Don't rush to turn the steering wheel sharply; turn it half a circle in advance and then adjust according to the reference points. If the car drifts, pull it back in the opposite direction. Beginners can intentionally drive slower, roll down the window to see the ground markings clearly, and try a few more times to get a feel for the car. Actually, once you get the hang of curves, it becomes as natural as rowing a boat along a stream.

Do electric motorcycles require a driver's license?

Electric motorcycles require a driver's license. Electric vehicles with a speed between 20 km/h and 50 km/h and a weight exceeding 40 kg are classified as light motorcycles and fall under motor vehicle management regulations. Not all electric bicycles will be considered motor vehicles. Two-wheeled vehicles with a maximum design speed not exceeding 20 km/h, equipped with human-powered riding capability, and meeting national standards for motor-rated power, etc., are not classified as motor vehicles. Authorities will handle registration for products that meet motor vehicle standards and have approval from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and motor vehicle announcements. Drivers must complete procedures such as obtaining license plates, passing a driver's test, and purchasing insurance before they can legally ride on the road.

What does automotive OBD detection mean?

Automotive OBD detection refers to the 'On-Board Diagnostics' system. The OBD system primarily monitors the operating status of the engine and the exhaust treatment system in real-time. Once there are faults or abnormal data in the engine and exhaust treatment system, the OBD system will store the fault codes and illuminate the malfunction indicator light, such as abnormal engine operation or excessive exhaust emissions. The OBD system generally requires the configuration of hardware like heated oxygen sensors or a 16-pin diagnostic interface. When abnormalities occur in the engine and exhaust treatment system, the OBD system not only promptly alerts the driver but also facilitates maintenance personnel in troubleshooting. This is because technicians can locate the approximate position of the fault through the PCM codes in the OBD system, significantly reducing the time required for fault diagnosis.

Should the Engine Be Turned Off When Refueling a Car?

When refueling a car, the engine should be turned off. This is because while the engine is running, the vehicle's electrical circuits and systems are powered, with electric current flowing. If a short circuit or leakage occurs at this moment, it can easily trigger a fire. Additionally, during refueling, the concentration of fuel vapor mixed with air around the fuel tank increases correspondingly. When the fuel vapor concentration reaches a certain level, any spark generated by the running car engine could ignite and cause an explosion. Moreover, while the engine is operating, the car's exhaust pipe continuously emits exhaust gases, often accompanied by sparks, which also poses a threat to the safety of the gas station. Therefore, it is strictly prohibited to let the fuel nozzle come into contact with the car's exhaust pipe while refueling at a gas station.

How to Open the Engine Oil Filler Cap?

Method to loosen the engine oil filler cap: Slowly turn the oil filler cap counterclockwise to loosen it. During normal oil change operations, when reinstalling the oil filler cap, apply some oil from the dipstick to lubricate the cap opening, then smoothly tighten it in the clockwise direction until properly seated. If white smoke appears around the oil filler cap, it may indicate that the cap is not tightened properly or is damaged, allowing water vapor to escape. Recommendations: 1. Check if the oil filler cap is tightened correctly, damaged, or if the sealing ring is missing; 2. Test whether the oil's water content exceeds the standard. Engine oil, as a lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption for the engine.

What Happens If You Overfill Engine Oil?

Symptoms of overfilled engine oil: 1. Creates significant resistance to high-speed rotating crankshaft and connecting rod mechanisms, resulting in reduced power output; 2. Increased oil entering the combustion chamber worsens exhaust emissions, potentially causing catalytic converter poisoning and damage in severe cases; 3. Increases vehicle fuel consumption and oil burning. Conversely, insufficient oil fails to provide adequate lubrication to engine components like cam followers and valves, leading to part wear. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, performs multiple functions including lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'lifeblood' of automobiles.

Can Windshield Washer Fluids Be Mixed?

Windshield washer fluids can be mixed. Windshield washer fluid is a cleaning solution for car windshields. It is composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. The functions of windshield washer fluid include: 1. Cleaning performance—surfactants have wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing functions, which help clean and remove dirt; 2. Anti-freezing performance—the presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol lowers the freezing point of the liquid, providing anti-freezing effects; 3. Anti-fog performance—a protective film forms to prevent fog droplets, ensuring the windshield remains clear and transparent for optimal visibility; 4. Anti-static performance—it cleans substances adsorbed on the glass surface and eliminates static charges; 5. Lubrication performance—it reduces friction between the wiper and the glass, preventing scratches; 6. Anti-corrosion performance—it does not corrode metal parts.
