For a two-way four-lane road, it's 2*7.5 meters; for a two-way six-lane road, it's 2*11.25 meters; and for a two-way eight-lane road, it's 2*15 meters. There are national standards for the width of each motor vehicle lane on highways. For multi-lane highways above grade three, the width of each motor vehicle lane is 3.5~3.75 meters. Highways and first-class roads generally have four lanes, and the number of lanes can be increased to an even number when necessary. For secondary roads in plain or hilly areas with minimal slow traffic or where slow traffic is separated, the width is 7 meters. For sections with mixed traffic, the width is generally 9 meters; when the mixed traffic volume is large and it's difficult to separate slow lanes, the carriageway width can be widened to 12 meters, with lines dividing the fast and slow lanes.

Will Honking the Horn Result in Penalty Points?

Generally, it only results in a fine without penalty points, and the fine amount is determined according to local regulations. Below is relevant information about horn usage: Precautions: Some areas prohibit honking to control noise pollution. Following traffic rules is the top priority, and safety is the most important. Meaning of the Horn: A single honk signifies polite yielding. A short "beep" from the horn represents etiquette, a form of greeting that is soft and brief, creating a pleasant mood. When encountering a narrow road where vehicles must pass each other, drivers should politely yield and use the horn to greet and thank each other when approaching. If the horn is pressed once during a turn, it serves as a reminder to vehicles on the other side to drive carefully.

Is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price the Same as the On-the-Road Price?

No, it is not. The manufacturer's suggested retail price refers to the bare car price excluding insurance, taxes, and other fees, while the on-the-road price is the actual transaction price. This means when the user has completed all the legal procedures and is ready to drive the car on the road, the total cost of the vehicle, including all fees, is the on-the-road price. These fees include purchase tax, insurance, vehicle and vessel tax, license plate registration, and other expenses. Below is a detailed introduction: Purchase Tax: Vehicle purchase tax is a tax levied on units and individuals who purchase specified vehicles within the country, evolving from the vehicle purchase surcharge. The vehicle purchase tax is ad valorem based on the taxable price of the vehicle purchased by the taxpayer, with the price as the tax standard. The tax is directly related to the value of the vehicle, with higher-value vehicles taxed more and lower-value vehicles taxed less. Insurance Premium: Car insurance generally includes basic insurance and additional insurance. Basic insurance is further divided into vehicle damage insurance and third-party liability insurance. Vehicle and Vessel Tax: The so-called vehicle and vessel tax refers to a tax that owners or managers of vehicles and vessels within the territory of the People's Republic of China are required to pay according to the Vehicle and Vessel Tax Law of the People's Republic of China.

What are the replacement criteria for scratches on insured headlights?

Replacement is warranted if the scratch exceeds one-third of the headlight housing thickness, while scratches below one-third are deemed repairable and do not qualify for direct replacement. Below are the treatment methods for headlight scratches: Polishing Repair: Fine-grit sandpaper can be used for sanding, followed by polishing with polishing wax. This method is quick, convenient, and cost-effective, providing good repair results. However, since the headlight surface is typically made of plastic rather than paint, the light transmittance will decrease once the wax components wear off. Steam Repair: This involves using a heater with alcohol as a volatilizer to attach specially processed and formulated materials onto the headlight surface via steam, filling in the scratches. The surface is then sanded to achieve a refurbished effect, with the repair lasting approximately two years.
