An automatic clutch is part of an automatic transmission. In an automatic transmission vehicle, the driver does not need to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The correct method to start an automatic transmission car is: 1. Turn on the power, then start the car; 2. After ignition, press the brake, shift to D gear, release the handbrake, and gently press the accelerator to start; 3. After starting, accelerate appropriately according to road conditions. The functions of the clutch are: 1. Gradually increase the driving force of the car to ensure a smooth start; 2. Temporarily separate the engine and transmission for gear shifting; 3. Prevent overload of the transmission system; 4. Reduce torsional vibration impact from the engine and prolong the service life of transmission gears.

What to Do After a Rear-End Collision: Should You File an Insurance Claim?

After a rear-end collision, the driver should immediately stop the vehicle, secure the scene, and promptly report to the police and notify the insurance company. Below is relevant information about rear-end collisions: 1. Introduction to Rear-End Collisions: A rear-end collision occurs when the front of a following vehicle impacts the rear of the leading vehicle in the same lane. This is primarily caused by insufficient following distance below the minimum safe interval, delayed driver reaction, or poor braking system performance. 2. Anti-Rear-End Techniques: When approaching sections with blind spots such as large undulating roads, reduce speed in advance. Maintain consistent speed both uphill and downhill, and be prepared for emergency stops or lane changes. Avoid following too closely; maintain a sufficient safe distance and always be ready to brake if the leading vehicle brakes suddenly. Try to avoid emergency braking. If a situation arises, reduce speed early and use intermittent braking to alert the following vehicle. Novice drivers should avoid using the fast lane whenever possible.

How to Collect Evidence for Accidents Caused by High Beams?

Evidence for accidents caused by high beams can be obtained from surveillance or dashcam footage. Here are the methods: 1. The driver affected by high beams should provide dashcam video as proof of being dazzled. 2. Based on the dashcam footage, all oncoming vehicles within 10 minutes before the accident can be listed as defendants, with all defendants in this time frame bearing the burden of proof (referencing the principle of reversed burden of proof in cases of objects thrown from heights). 3. If oncoming vehicles in this time frame cannot prove they did not use high beams, they bear joint liability for the accident.

How to Determine if the Driveshaft Clearance is Excessive?

Excessive driveshaft clearance may manifest in symptoms such as abnormal noises, irregular kinetic energy efficiency, and vehicle instability. Below are detailed descriptions of these phenomena: 1. Abnormal Noises: The vehicle may produce unusual sounds, such as noises during sudden acceleration or hard acceleration. 2. Irregular Kinetic Energy Efficiency: It may lead to reduced kinetic energy transmission efficiency and abnormal acceleration. 3. Vehicle Instability: If the clearance is too large, it may cause unstable rotation of the driveshaft and body vibration. In severe cases, the vehicle may not be able to move, leading to phenomena like veering off course or severe shaking.

What time does the Subject 3 test start?

It usually starts at 9:00 AM in the morning and 2:00 PM in the afternoon. Here are some relevant materials regarding precautions for Subject 3: 1. Lane Change: When the examinee hears "Please change lanes," they should turn on the turn signal and wait for 3 seconds before turning the steering wheel. If the driver is on a single-lane road, lane changing is not allowed at this time. 2. Straight-line Driving: The examinee should try to look as far ahead as possible to maintain a straight path. Once straight-line driving begins, the steering wheel should not be turned arbitrarily, nor should it cross the solid lane line. Many people fail this section because the test vehicles are used very frequently and are operated by beginners, which may result in the vehicle not driving straight even when the steering wheel angle is neutral. In this case, the examinee should focus their vision far ahead and make minor adjustments to the steering wheel to ensure straight-line driving, rather than keeping the steering wheel fixed in place.

How Should Fatigue Driving Be Penalized?

Once caught for fatigue driving, 12 points will be deducted from the driver's license. Here are the relevant details: 1. Summer driving: Summer driving is prone to causing fatigue. High temperatures and poor air circulation make drivers easily fatigued. Drivers often feel mentally exhausted, with gradually blurring vision and slowing reactions, especially prone to drowsiness during afternoon drives. 2. High-speed driving: High-speed driving is prone to causing fatigue. When driving at high speeds, the driver's attention is highly concentrated, maintaining a state of intense mental tension. As speed increases and driving time extends, the driver gradually experiences fatigue.
