Because the engine will vibrate more or less when working, some of this vibration will be transmitted to the cabin, so the driver can feel it. The engine will make certain sounds when working, which can be used to judge.

Why is a motor vehicle under seizure status?

There are three reasons for a motor vehicle's seizure status: 1. Installment payment vehicles: The owner defaults on bank payments, the bank applies to the court for debt recovery, and the court issues a seizure notice to the vehicle management office, prohibiting all services including inspections. 2. Fully paid vehicles: The owner owes debts, and creditors apply to the court to first impound and seize the vehicle, then determine ownership through judgment. 3. Vehicles purchased with illicit funds or used in crimes: Criminals use the vehicle for illegal activities or purchase it with illegal proceeds. The public security bureau seizes the vehicle to recover it, prohibiting inspections, transfers, and other services. Relevant information about vehicle seizure is as follows: 1. Introduction one: Vehicle seizure is a compulsory measure taken by relevant authorities in accordance with the law because the owner violates administrative regulations or is suspected of criminal activities. 2. Introduction two: Although the vehicle is seized, its qualification to be driven on the road is not revoked. The vehicle still meets roadworthiness standards and can be used normally.

What to Do If Your Car Is Flooded?

Here are the steps to handle a flooded car: 1. File an insurance claim: As long as the flooding wasn't caused intentionally—for example, if the car was parked and not moved, such as in a parking lot—most vehicle owners will be compensated under their auto insurance policy for damages. 2. You can proactively claim compensation: Either repair the vehicle or scrap it according to regulations. Additional details are as follows: A flood-damaged car refers to a vehicle that has been submerged in water, typically meaning the engine or transmission has been soaked, with water levels exceeding the wheels and seats, and the underbody components have been in prolonged contact with water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as the electrical systems are prone to short circuits or even fires. While flood-damaged cars can be repaired to some extent, even after repairs, they may still have serious hidden dangers. The longer the immersion time, the higher the likelihood of malfunctions. This is similar to a watch falling into water—even if it's disassembled and dried, it may still malfunction and cannot be completely fixed.

How to Drive on Sawtooth Lane Roads?

Driving methods for sawtooth lane roads are as follows: 1. Follow the overhead lane signs: After entering a variable lane, you must follow the instructions indicated by the overhead lane signs. Generally, when left-turning traffic is heavy, the left lane will become a left-turn lane, and similarly, the right lane will become a right-turn lane when right-turning traffic is heavy. 2. Confirm the driving direction before entering the lane: On both sides of the road, there are usually time periods indicating the direction of travel for sawtooth lanes. The direction of travel for sawtooth lanes varies at different times, and entry into sawtooth lanes is prohibited during other time periods. Especially during morning and evening rush hours, the direction of travel for sawtooth lanes may be reversed. Before entering the lane, confirm the direction of travel to avoid driving in the wrong direction, which could result in fines, penalty points, traffic congestion, and compromised driving safety. 3. Follow traffic police instructions: If you accidentally enter a sawtooth lane and are unsure which direction to go, remember the rule "follow the direction with more traffic." However, this is not always applicable. If traffic police are present, follow their instructions.

How Thick Are Tires?

The tread thickness of car tires is generally around 13-15mm, but the specific thickness depends on the tire model. Due to different aspect ratios, the thickness of tire sidewalls varies across different vehicle models and tire types. The tread consists of the tread pattern and the crown. For ordinary household car tires, the front crown thickness is approximately 13mm (with the tread pattern being about 7mm thick and the crown around 6mm), while the sidewall is thinner, with a thickness of about 5mm. Below is some relevant information about tires: Tire lifespan: The wear life of tires is typically 30,000-50,000 kilometers. If the tire has not reached the wear limit or mileage but has been in use for 5 years or shows significant cracks on the sidewall, it should be replaced. Tire material: The main component of tires is rubber. Rubber, from natural latex to EPDM and nitrile, has a maximum storage and anti-aging period of no more than 10 years. The average service life of various rubber products in use is 3-5 years.

How to Deal with Exceeding the Speed Limit by 40%?

Exceeding the speed limit by 40% results in a fine and 3 demerit points. Speeding refers to a driver operating a vehicle at a speed that exceeds the legal or regulatory speed limit. A turbine overspeed accident is a serious and dangerous incident caused by faults in the turbine's speed control and protection systems, as well as inherent defects. Speeding penalty standards: 1. Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10%: No fine or demerit points. 2. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20%: A fine and 3 demerit points. 3. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50%: A fine and 3 demerit points. 4. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 50% but less than 70%: A fine, 6 demerit points, and possible suspension of the driver's license. 5.

Can I Switch to Automatic Transmission After Passing the Manual Transmission Subject 2 Test?

You cannot directly switch from manual transmission to automatic transmission. If you wish to change to automatic transmission, you need to re-register and retake the test. Differences between manual and automatic transmission in Subject 2: Manual transmission vehicles have a clutch, so during practice, you must first master clutch control. In terms of test items, manual transmission includes reverse parking, right-angle turns, parallel parking, curve driving, and hill starts. Automatic transmission, on the other hand, omits the hill start test because it lacks a clutch, making this item less critical. Judgment of boundary lines and markings can also be assessed in the Subject 3 test. Subject 2 test evaluation: The full score is 100 points, with evaluation criteria for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. You get one attempt for the Subject 2 test, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the test ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days.
