The driver's license for heavy trucks falls under the B2 category. You can directly apply for the B2 driver's license test without needing to obtain a small vehicle driver's license first. However, if you intend to drive a semi-trailer, you must first obtain a large vehicle driver's license before applying. To obtain the license, you need to pass three subject tests. Additional information: 1. Heavy and medium-duty trucks are issued large truck license plates (commonly known as yellow plates): Trucks with a length greater than or equal to 6 meters and a total mass greater than or equal to 12,000 kg are classified as heavy-duty trucks; trucks with a length greater than or equal to 6 meters and a total mass greater than or equal to 4,500 kg but less than 12,000 kg are classified as medium-duty trucks. 2. Light and mini trucks are issued small truck license plates (commonly known as blue plates): Trucks with a length less than 6 meters and a total mass less than 4,500 kg are classified as light-duty trucks; trucks with a length less than or equal to 3.5 meters and a load capacity less than or equal to 750 kg are classified as mini trucks. 3. Foreign-invested vehicle license plates (commonly known as black plates): All trucks owned by foreign-invested enterprises, regardless of type, are issued foreign-invested vehicle license plates (commonly known as black plates). The relevant departments of the Municipal Public Security Bureau Traffic Police Bureau require registered truck owners and drivers to conscientiously abide by traffic laws and regulations, drive in compliance with the rules, and ensure safe driving.

Does Stopping on the Crosswalk When the Red Light is On Count as Running a Red Light?

Stopping a vehicle on the crosswalk does not count as running a red light. Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating the traffic signal by crossing the stop line and continuing to move when the red light is on, indicating that passage is prohibited. To determine a red-light violation, at least three pieces of photographic evidence are required: the vehicle has not left the stop line when the red light is on; the vehicle has passed through the intersection when the red light is on; the vehicle has crossed the line and continued to move forward when the red light is on. The Road Traffic Safety Law, Article 26: Traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to proceed, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Article 44: Motor vehicles passing through intersections shall proceed in accordance with traffic signals, traffic signs, traffic markings, or the direction of traffic police. According to the second paragraph, first clause, second item of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in a deduction of 6 points. Ways to avoid running a red light: When there are arrow signal lights, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the circular light; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the green light just flashes, if the distance is close and the speed is fast, you should proceed, as braking may not stop the vehicle in time to avoid crossing the stop line; if the distance is far, the speed is slow, or the intersection is congested, you should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you encounter a crosswalk or stop line at an intersection.

Why are domestic cars mostly equipped with dual-clutch transmissions?

Domestic manufacturers prefer dual-clutch transmissions primarily due to lower technical barriers and relatively easier development. Below are introductions to dual-clutch transmissions: Dry Dual-Clutch: The clutch plates in a dry dual-clutch transmission are not immersed in transmission fluid. This type offers faster shifting speeds and higher transmission efficiency. Wet Dual-Clutch: The clutch plates in a wet dual-clutch transmission are immersed in transmission fluid. This type provides better reliability and durability, and can handle higher torque. However, wet dual-clutch transmissions have more complex structures and higher costs.

How to Use the Handbrake on a Mercedes-Benz E300?

After parking the Mercedes-Benz E300, the handbrake pedal is located near the A-pillar on the driver's left side. Simply press it down to engage. Below is some relevant information about the handbrake: Function of the Handbrake: The handbrake is used for parking, providing secondary braking to prevent the car from rolling when parked. It is typically used when the car is stationary, and it is recommended to engage the handbrake when the car is in neutral or the engine is turned off. There is no need to press the clutch when using the handbrake. Working Principle: The handbrake is a specialized auxiliary brake in a car. Unlike the main braking system, the handbrake uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force. Prolonged use of the handbrake can cause the steel cable to undergo plastic deformation, which is irreversible.
