Cars are not allowed to overtake from the right side, as it is considered illegal. Overtaking is prohibited under the following circumstances: 1. The vehicle ahead is turning left, making a U-turn, or overtaking. 2. There is a possibility of encountering oncoming traffic. 3. The vehicle ahead is a police car, fire truck, ambulance, or engineering rescue vehicle performing emergency duties. 3. Passing through railway crossings, intersections, narrow bridges, curves, steep slopes, tunnels, pedestrian crossings, or sections with heavy urban traffic where overtaking conditions are not met. Below is additional information on overtaking precautions: 1. Observe the road conditions: Before overtaking, check the road ahead and choose a flat, straight section if possible. Also, observe the lane you intend to use for overtaking by checking the left rearview mirror for any vehicles approaching from behind. Wait for the vehicle behind to complete its overtaking maneuver before proceeding. 2. Use of lights: When conditions permit, turn on the left turn signal, then alternately flash the high and low beams and sound the horn to alert the vehicle ahead. Once the vehicle ahead signals to yield, you can steer to the left. 3. Driving in the overtaking lane: If already in the overtaking lane, downshift and press the accelerator deeply to increase engine speed and boost power. The reason for downshifting is that when accelerating, downshifting provides a quicker throttle response, allowing for faster speed increase.

I have deep personal experience with right-side overtaking. Last year on the highway, I witnessed an accident caused by this very maneuver. According to traffic regulations, right-side overtaking is strictly prohibited in China primarily because drivers have smaller blind spots on the left side and significantly larger ones on the right. When you overtake from the right, the driver ahead can hardly spot you in their mirrors, making sudden lane changes particularly prone to sideswipes. It becomes even more dangerous with large trucks, whose right-side blind zones can extend over ten meters. With ten years of driving experience, I always overtake properly using the left lane - signaling in advance, confirming safe distance, then accelerating to pass. Remember: safety always outweighs saving time. Don't risk your life for momentary haste.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Lavida 1.4T?

The average fuel consumption of the Lavida 1.4T automatic Comfort Edition is 8.61L per 100 kilometers. The main factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Incorrect driving can consume 2 to 3 times more fuel: Improper driving habits have the greatest impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and hard braking are the most common issues. Experts conducted fuel consumption tests during acceleration: after the vehicle entered the test section at a constant speed, the driver fully pressed the accelerator to complete the specified distance. The results showed that fuel consumption increased by 2 to 3 times compared to driving at a constant speed. 2. Road conditions: Road conditions have a more noticeable impact on vehicle fuel consumption. Highways are more fuel-efficient than city driving; asphalt roads are more fuel-efficient than concrete roads; paved roads are more fuel-efficient than off-road surfaces; flat roads are more fuel-efficient than slopes; closed roads are more fuel-efficient than open roads; straight roads are more fuel-efficient than curves.

Why Can't Shoes Be Placed in the Car Trunk?

The main reason why shoes should not be placed in the car trunk is rooted in superstition. In ancient times, shoes were considered the dirtiest items among personal belongings. Folk beliefs caution against placing shoes facing the bed, as it is thought that unclean entities may follow, essentially 'guiding' them. Similarly, if shoes are placed in the trunk, their tips should not point forward (toward the front of the car), as there is a superstition that shoes may guide unclean entities. Below are reasons and solutions for a trunk that won't open: 1. Linkage rod or lock cylinder issue: If you frequently use a key to open the trunk, the linkage rod may be broken—visit a repair shop to fix it. If you usually use a remote to open the trunk, the lock cylinder might be dirty or rusty; spraying rust remover into the lock a few times can help. 2. Unlocked status: If the trunk is difficult to open, ensure the remote key is unlocked. Before attempting to open it, press the unlock button on the key or check if the key battery is dead. 3. Mechanical component failure: The trunk itself may have issues, such as a broken wire or other malfunctions preventing it from opening.

What are the reasons for insufficient turbocharger pressure?

Introduction to the reasons for insufficient turbocharger pressure is as follows: 1. Air filter blockage: A blocked air filter increases suction loss, resulting in insufficient turbocharging pressure. Generally, the air filter should be thoroughly cleaned after 1500-3000 hours of use. 2. Excessive oil deposits: Too much oil deposit in the internal air passage of the compressor part increases airflow resistance when passing through the passage with more oil deposits, leading to a decrease in turbocharging pressure. 3. Damaged air seal device: For externally supported turbochargers, when the air seal device on the back of the compressor is damaged, a large amount of air will leak from the back to the intermediate housing and be discharged into the atmosphere together with the exhaust gas from the turbine, which will also cause a decrease in turbocharging pressure. 4. Poor fuel combustion: Poor fuel combustion causes carbon deposits on the rotor part, or increased rotational resistance of the turbocharger due to damaged turbocharger bearings, which will also lead to a decrease in turbocharging pressure.

How many liters is the last fuel bar of the Boyue?

Geely Boyue's fuel tank is divided into four bars, with each bar representing 25%. The total fuel tank capacity is 60 liters, so the last bar equals 15 liters. Below are the methods to check the fuel tank capacity and an introduction to the nominal volume: Methods to check the fuel tank capacity: Generally, the fuel level can be observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5-6 bars, with each bar representing the remaining fuel capacity. It is advisable to refuel when the fuel gauge shows two bars remaining to avoid running out of fuel midway. Introduction to nominal volume: The fuel tank capacity varies by vehicle model. However, most car manufacturers follow a general rule: a full tank of fuel usually supports driving approximately 600 kilometers, and not less than 500 kilometers. The nominal volume is slightly smaller than the actual refueling capacity because manufacturers reserve some space in the nominal volume to account for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow from the tank.

What Does Comprehensive Car Insurance Mean?

Comprehensive car insurance includes traffic insurance, vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, non-deductible insurance, and passenger insurance. Comprehensive car insurance covers: 1. Traffic Insurance: Officially known as Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance, this is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurer compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding cyclists and the insured) in road accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance (TPL): Officially known as Commercial Third-Party Liability Insurance, it covers compensation amounts the insured is legally liable to pay for accidental injuries, deaths, or direct property losses to third parties caused by an authorized driver using the insured vehicle, as per the insurance contract. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This commercial insurance covers damage to the insured vehicle caused by accidents while driven by the insured or an authorized driver, with the insurer compensating within reasonable limits. Vehicle damage insurance and TPL are basic vehicle insurances, primarily covering losses to the insured vehicle and third-party damages caused by its use. 4. Non-Deductible Insurance: Officially known as the No-Claim Discount Clause, it is an add-on to commercial insurance (vehicle damage or TPL). As an add-on, it requires the main insurance as a prerequisite and cannot be purchased separately. Its coverage typically involves special agreements.

How Does the Throttle Valve of a Diesel Engine Work?

The working principle of the throttle valve in a diesel engine is to control the engine's air intake, adjusting the mixture ratio of fuel and air based on computer signals, thereby ensuring complete fuel combustion to generate power. Throttle valves are generally divided into two main types: carburetor throttle valves and electronic throttle valves. Their working principles differ. The carburetor throttle valve regulates engine speed by drawing away fuel—the larger the throttle opening, the lower the engine speed. There is an air intake passage next to it. When the throttle angle is large, the air pressure inside the engine becomes lower than the outside air, causing some air to enter through the small passage, carrying away the corresponding amount of fuel. In other words, the smaller the throttle opening, the more fuel is drawn away. The electronic throttle valve uses varying voltages to regulate engine speed. The throttle valve controls the engine's air intake, adjusting the mixture ratio of fuel and air based on computer signals to ensure complete fuel combustion and power generation. When a driver presses the accelerator pedal, they are not directly controlling the fuel but rather the "air," as pressing the pedal and shifting gears forces a certain amount of air into the engine.
