Is it advisable to buy a water-damaged car?

1 Answers

Water-damaged cars should not be purchased because flooded vehicles can develop numerous unpredictable issues that compromise driving safety. Below is relevant information: Flood-damaged cars: These refer to vehicles that have been submerged in water, typically involving the engine and transmission being soaked, with water levels exceeding the wheels and vehicle seats, and prolonged contact between the chassis components and water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as the electrical systems are prone to short circuits and even fires. Hazards: Interior components like carpets and seats may deform, become rough, or develop odors due to prolonged immersion, leading to bacterial growth. Moisture accumulation in wiring harnesses beneath the carpets can cause electrical short circuits due to dampness.

What is the brake pedal for?

As the name suggests, the brake pedal is the pedal that limits power, that is, the pedal of the foot brake (service brake). The brake pedal is used to slow down and stop the vehicle. It is one of the five major operating components of car driving and is used very frequently. How the driver controls it directly affects the safety of car driving. Extended information about the brake pedal is as follows: 1. During emergency braking, hold the steering wheel with both hands and do not operate it with one hand. 2. The size of the free travel of the brake pedal directly affects the braking time and braking distance. Therefore, before driving, be sure to check whether the free travel of the brake pedal is appropriate. 3. The braking action should be agile. If the vehicle skids, you can release the brake pedal, but the action of turning the steering wheel must be quick.

What are the new regulations for vehicle annual inspection within 10 years in 2020?

The exemption scope has been expanded from vehicles with 6 seats or fewer to non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats. Below is relevant information about the annual inspection: 1. Conditions: Vehicles whose condition does not match the records in the driving license or vehicle file, or whose license plates or driving licenses are damaged, incomplete, illegible, or self-made. 2. Notes: The vehicle's exterior cannot be modified. The color of the glass sunshade or explosion-proof film cannot be too dark (items inside the vehicle must be clearly visible from one meter away; mainly applies to vans and trucks, but not to passenger cars with 5 seats or fewer). Vans and trucks must have enlarged rear license plates, and the number of spring leaf plates cannot be increased or decreased. The number of seats in vans cannot be altered, and a fire extinguisher must be present. The cargo compartment of box trucks cannot be modified (no side doors, no roof openings, no tailgates). The size of the tires cannot be changed, and the tread patterns of tires on the same axle must be consistent. Vehicles with unresolved traffic violations or those impounded by the court cannot undergo the annual inspection.

Is the Rear Vehicle Always Fully Liable for a Rear-End Collision?

Rear-end collisions are not always the full responsibility of the rear vehicle. In some cases, the rear vehicle may not be fully liable or even not liable at all. For example: 1. The front vehicle makes a U-turn and causes a rear-end collision. 2. The front vehicle crosses a solid line and causes a rear-end collision. 3. Malicious lane cutting or abrupt lane changes lead to a rear-end collision. 4. The front vehicle rolls back or reverses, causing a rear-end collision. 5. The rear vehicle overtakes from the right side, leading to a rear-end collision. According to China's traffic laws, overtaking must be done from the left side. Overtaking from the right is illegal, and if it causes a rear-end collision, the front vehicle is fully liable. 6. The front vehicle engages in road rage, resulting in a rear-end collision. 7. The front vehicle stops without signaling.

How Long Can the Hainan Lottery Quota Be Retained?

Hainan lottery quota is valid for 12 months. Introduction to the license plate lottery: 1. Counter selection method: The 50-to-1 method at the counter allows car owners to have two chances to draw numbers. If they don't get a number they like the first time, they can try again. Of course, the chance of getting a desired number this way is much smaller, but it's not impossible to draw a good number. There have been many cases where car owners drew consecutive numbers or repeating numbers. 2. Mobile app selection: Download the "Traffic Management 12123" app, complete account registration, enter the homepage, under the motor vehicle business section, select the "Pre-select License Plate" function, choose "New Car Selection" or other options, select the registration province and city, carefully read the business instructions, agree and enter the information filling interface. After filling in a series of information such as "Vehicle Identification Code" and "Vehicle Certificate Code," enter the license plate selection interface, where you can arrange numbers according to personal preference.

What is the size of the Sylphy wiper blades?

The size of the Sylphy wiper blades is 26+14 inches, and they use a U-type interface. Extended content: The difference between parallel wipers and opposed wipers: 1. Parallel wipers can use slightly shorter wiper blades (the wiper on the co-pilot side is usually shorter), and can be paired with a smaller wiper motor, so this type of wiper is generally more economical. Due to the shorter wiper on the co-pilot side, there is a higher chance of a blind spot in the upper right corner of the co-pilot side during the wiping process. 2. Compared to parallel wipers, opposed wipers have longer linkage mechanisms and require more space in the water channel for installation, so the cost is generally higher than that of parallel wipers. Additionally, the coverage area of the co-pilot side wiper in opposed wipers is larger than that in parallel wipers, resulting in relatively smaller blind spots. However, opposed wipers are more prone to water accumulation in the middle of the windshield, which can affect visibility.

Is it illegal to apply reflective stickers on cars?

Chinese regulations only require trucks to apply reflective strips to enhance safety during nighttime driving. There are no explicit rules for private cars—applying them is optional. However, if applied, they must be installed according to requirements; otherwise, drivers may face penalties if discovered by traffic police. The vehicle's exterior must meet the following requirements: 1. Components such as bumpers, rearview mirrors, and lower mirrors should be intact. 2. Windshield glass must be complete, with no cracks or damage in the driver's line of sight, and no mirrored reflective sunshade film should be applied to any windshield. 3. The vehicle body should be symmetrical, with height differences between left and right symmetrical parts complying with GB7258 standards. 4. The exterior should not exhibit obvious mirrored reflections, nor should it have any components or protrusions that could endanger pedestrians, cyclists, or other traffic participants, including sharp edges or corners. 5. The body (or cabin) and its paint should not show significant rust or damage. 6. Sprayed or pasted logos or advertisements on the body should not affect safe driving.
