Is driving 100 kilometers in M1 gear harmful to the car?

Driving 100 kilometers in M1 gear is harmful to the car. The M1 gear in a car refers to the low-speed gear, which is mostly used when going up or down slopes, entering underground parking garages, in traffic jams, or when following other vehicles. Prolonged use of the M1 gear at high speeds can cause the transmission oil temperature to rise, which may lead to overheating and damage to the transmission. Explanation of M1: M stands for the English word "Manual," which means manual transmission in Chinese. The number 1 refers to the first gear. The M gear is a versatile gear that can be used as a sport mode, a climbing gear, a descending gear, or even an overtaking gear. The M gear in a manual-automatic transmission is designed to allow the driver to take control away from the car's computer, enabling the driver to operate the vehicle based on their own judgment and enjoy the freedom of driving. Purpose of use: M1 is typically used in situations like exiting an underground parking garage, aiming to control speed through the engine's traction, which allows for not having to press the brake and ensures safe driving on steep slopes.

What to Do After Accumulating 12 Demerit Points on Your Driver's License?

After accumulating 12 demerit points on your driver's license, the license will be confiscated, and the traffic police department that issued the penalty will provide an enrollment notice. Take this notice to a driving school to register and participate in the required training. If the driver discovers through self-inquiry that their points have been fully deducted, they can also register themselves with their driver's license, which is equally valid. The training period lasts for 5 days, with sessions held every morning. The curriculum includes topics such as Road Violation Points and Penalties, Driver Psychological Quality and Traffic Safety, and Road Traffic Safety Laws and Regulations. After completing all the courses, the school will issue a training completion certificate. Once the exam is passed, the driver can regain their driver's license.

What is the legal limit for drunk driving in milliliters?

The legal limit for drunk driving is when a driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) is greater than or equal to 20 milligrams per 100 milliliters of blood, but less than 80 milligrams per 100 milliliters, which is considered driving after drinking. A BAC of 80 milligrams or more per 100 milliliters is classified as drunk driving. For drunk driving, the traffic management department of the public security authority will restrain the driver until sober, revoke the motor vehicle driving license, and pursue criminal liability according to the law. The driver will not be allowed to re-obtain a motor vehicle driving license within five years. For driving a commercial motor vehicle after drinking, the penalty is 15 days of detention, a fine, revocation of the motor vehicle driving license, and prohibition from re-obtaining a motor vehicle driving license within five years.

Children aged 12 and above can sit in the front passenger seat, while children under 12 years old should not sit there for safety reasons.

Driving a motor vehicle without a motor vehicle driver's license, or during the period when the license is revoked or temporarily suspended; 2.

Fleeing the scene after causing a traffic accident, if the act does not constitute a crime; 4. Driving a motor vehicle at a speed exceeding 50% of the prescribed limit; 5.
