How to Read the Date on Car Window Glass: There is a code in the lower left or lower right corner of the car window glass. The last or second-to-last row contains a number and several small black dots, which indicate the production date of the glass. For new cars, the glass is usually new, but when buying a used car, many people may not easily notice if the glass has been replaced. In addition to checking the production date, you can also look at the brand label. After replacement, the label on the new glass will differ significantly from the original factory glass. Typically, the original factory glass label includes not only the car brand logo but also the glass brand logo. Due to certain policies of car manufacturers, retail suppliers are prohibited from using the car brand trademark on the market. As a result, most replacement glasses only have the glass brand label without the car brand label.

What does the traffic police's slow down hand signal look like?

Action: Extend the right arm straight to the right front, parallel to the shoulder, with the palm facing downward and fingers closed together. Simultaneously turn the face and gaze 45 degrees to the right; then move the arm up and down. Simplified memory: The right hand gives a single-handed command with the palm facing downward, and an up-and-down movement indicates the slow down signal. Additional information: If the traffic police raises the left hand and lowers the right hand, it is a stop signal; if the traffic police lowers the left hand and extends the right hand to the side while moving it downward, it indicates the slow down signal. If the traffic police raises one hand forward and moves the other hand below, a downward movement of the right hand indicates a right turn signal, while a downward movement of the left hand indicates a left turn signal.
