Which Lane to Turn Into?

Turn left into the leftmost lane, turn right into the rightmost motor vehicle lane (it's the rightmost motor vehicle lane, don't mistake it and enter the non-motor vehicle lane). For U-turns, align the front of the vehicle with the intended lane and enter that lane. Single-row left-turn lane driving rules: When making a left turn, try to take a wide turn. During the turning process, pay attention to whether there are oncoming straight-moving vehicles. If there are, you must slow down or stop to yield. In case of a collision, the turning vehicle bears full responsibility. The reason for turning into the first lane is that this driving trajectory causes the least interference to vehicles from other directions. In the latter half of the turn, also check the left rearview mirror to avoid rear vehicles cutting in or forcing overtaking. Multi-row left-turn lane driving rules: If you are in the second or third row of left-turn lanes, during the turning process, follow the vehicle in front and proceed in order without changing lanes or crossing lines arbitrarily midway. When about to enter the lane, check the left rearview mirror and the right-side window, paying attention to vehicles in adjacent lanes to avoid collisions.

Is Tire Polish Beneficial for Tires?

Tire polish is beneficial for tires. The polish only temporarily stays on the tire, and its corrosive effects are negligible. Below are the functions of tire polish: Enhancement Effect: Tire polish delivers an excellent glossy enhancement effect, showcasing a dazzling black shine that gives the tire a noble and elegant demeanor, highlighting the aristocratic style of your "beloved car." Even tires that have dulled over time can regain their radiant appearance with the application of tire polish, restoring them to their original look. Preventing Tire Aging: Tire polish effectively prevents aging, cracking, deformation, and fading of tires and other rubber components, without harming the rims, bead, or tire covers. Anti-Static Function: Tire polish has superior anti-static properties, making it less likely to attract dust and maintaining a long-lasting, beautiful appearance.

Analysis of the Impact of Tire Performance on Vehicle Driving

Tire performance affects vehicle driving in terms of support and handling, with specific details as follows: Support Function: Supports the total weight of the vehicle and withstands various forces from the road surface, including vertical reaction forces, lateral reaction forces, and tangential reaction forces. It absorbs and mitigates part of the shocks and vibrations encountered during driving, ensuring the vehicle has good ride comfort and smooth driving. Enhancing Handling: Ensures good adhesion between the tires and the road surface to improve the vehicle's power performance, maneuverability, and off-road capability. The tire's own structure and performance also directly affect the vehicle's safety inspection and fuel economy.

What Causes a Tire Leak When the Leak Point Cannot Be Found?

Tire leaks where the leak point cannot be found may be due to the following reasons: Hidden Location: If a tire is punctured by a foreign object, it can usually be found by carefully inspecting the tire surface. If the puncture is in a hidden location, you can sprinkle water on the tire surface to locate bubbles or even hear a hissing sound. Pay Attention to the Sidewall: As tire rubber ages, deep grooves may appear on the sidewall. However, as long as the sidewall has not been impacted and the cords are intact, the tire can still be used. The triangular indicator on the sidewall helps locate a raised mark in the tread grooves, which determines the actual wear limit of the tire. That value should be greater than 1.6 millimeters.

Will the insurance company provide rescue service if the tire is punctured?

Tire puncture rescue is covered by insurance companies. Insurance definition: Automobile insurance is a type of commercial insurance that provides compensation for personal injuries or property damage caused to motor vehicles due to natural disasters or accidents. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance (CTPLI): CTPLI is a mandatory national insurance that every vehicle owner must purchase. If a vehicle is driven without CTPLI, once detected, the vehicle will be impounded (until CTPLI is obtained and displayed in the designated position), fines will be imposed, and corresponding penalty points will be deducted. CTPLI primarily covers personal injuries and property losses to victims (excluding passengers in the insured vehicle and the insured person) in traffic accidents. However, the compensation limit of CTPLI is limited and cannot cover large-amount personal injury accidents.

How many years are exempt from inspection for sedans?

Sedans are exempt from inspection for 6 years. Required materials: The vehicle owner needs to bring the vehicle's driving license (original and copy), the ID card of the vehicle owner, the compulsory traffic insurance policy of the vehicle, and the tax payment or tax exemption certificate of vehicle and vessel tax to complete the procedure. Exemption regulations: Vehicle inspection exemption means that for vehicles that meet the exemption conditions within 6 years, the on-site inspection procedure is exempted, and only the inspection mark needs to be applied for every two years, and it must be pasted on the vehicle as required. Essentially, it exempts the on-site inspection. As long as the conditions stipulated by the national policy are met, there is no need for on-site inspection, and the inspection mark can be directly applied for from the traffic management department.
