Rearview mirrors are tools that allow drivers sitting in the driver's seat to directly obtain external information about the rear, sides, and lower parts of the vehicle. For the convenience of drivers, to prevent traffic safety accidents, and to ensure personal safety, all countries require that vehicles must be equipped with rearview mirrors, and all mirrors must be adjustable. The adjustment methods for rearview mirrors are as follows: 1. Adjustment of the left-side mirror: For the vertical position, place the distant horizon at the center, and for the horizontal position, adjust it so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area. 2. Adjustment of the right-side mirror: Since the driver's seat is on the left, it is more difficult for the driver to grasp the situation on the right side of the car. Therefore, when adjusting the vertical position of the right-side mirror, the ground area should be larger, accounting for about 2/3 of the mirror's area, while the horizontal position is similarly adjusted so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area. 3. Adjustment of the center mirror: Adjust the horizontal position to the left edge of the mirror, cutting to the right ear of your own image in the mirror. Generally, you cannot see yourself in the center rearview mirror, and for the vertical position, place the distant horizon at the center of the mirror.

When is the highway congested during the Chinese New Year?

Generally, it is congested on New Year's Eve and during the return trip. It is recommended that car owners choose their travel time wisely to avoid traffic jams on the highway during the Spring Festival, which can waste time. Be prepared for traffic congestion when taking the highway during the Spring Festival. Here are some tips for dealing with traffic jams: 1. Be alert to vehicles coming from behind: When the road is congested, turn on the hazard lights to alert vehicles behind. If the congestion lasts only a few minutes or the vehicles can move slowly, turning on the hazard lights is sufficient. Passengers should not get out of the car, as it is very dangerous when the traffic is moving slowly. 2. Be cautious about the car doors being locked: If the traffic jam lasts for a long time, the car owner may turn off the engine and get out to move around. At this time, be sure to check if the key is in hand, as some cars will automatically lock after the engine is turned off.
