If you are not very tall, it is not recommended to buy an SUV, as SUVs inherently have larger blind spots, which would be even more pronounced in this case. A hatchback sedan would be more suitable. Below are some additional details: 1. Considerations: When driving, forward visibility is crucial. Regardless of the vehicle type, it's important to be aware of the blind spots, specifically the areas blocked by the two pillars on either side of the windshield. The extent of obstruction at different angles and how much of the front or even the side view is covered are critical for driving safety. 2. Comparison: Compared to sedans, most SUVs have higher seating positions, which theoretically offer a more open view. However, one must not overlook the visibility through the front windshield or the impact of the two A-pillars beside it. Therefore, the choice between an SUV and a sedan should be based on visibility and vehicle size, ultimately depending on personal preference.

What are the penalties for drunk driving with a BAC below 20?

There are no corresponding penalties for drunk driving with a BAC below 20, and no action is required. Sometimes, traffic police may advise the driver to find a friend to drive instead, as driving after drinking can inevitably have some effects, such as drowsiness, visual impairment, reduced judgment and operational abilities, and decreased tactile sensitivity. According to the thresholds and testing regulations for blood and breath alcohol content in drunk driving issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China: drunk driving refers to driving behavior where the driver's blood alcohol content is greater than or equal to 20mg per 100ml of blood but less than 80mg. Drunk driving with a BAC of 80mg or more per 100ml of blood is considered a more severe offense.

Can Auto Loans Be Repaid Early?

Auto loans can be repaid early. Currently, there are two types of auto loans available: interest-free loans and loans with interest. Generally, loan contracts include clauses regarding early repayment, and it is usually possible to repay the loan early by paying a certain penalty fee. Of course, to attract consumers, many 4S dealerships now offer interest-free loans, and most of these interest-free loans do not require a penalty fee for early repayment. According to bank regulations, customers who wish to repay their loans early need to submit a written application one week to one month in advance and agree on a repayment date. On the agreed date, they must bring their ID card and the loan contract signed with the bank to fill out a loan repayment application and an early repayment agreement. The required repayment amount must then be deposited into the account designated for loan principal and interest deductions, from which the bank will automatically deduct the payment.

How to Remove the Malfunction Indicator Light?

Methods to remove the malfunction indicator light: When the malfunction light is on, start and turn off the vehicle three times in a row, or you can disconnect the negative terminal of the engine battery, wait for 30 seconds, and then reconnect it. When the engine malfunction light is on, it cannot be manually reset. Usually, you need to go to a 4S shop and use a fault diagnostic tool to troubleshoot before it can be reset. This trick only applies to false engine fault phenomena. If it doesn't work, you need to go to a professional repair shop for inspection and reset. If the malfunction light is on but there are no abnormal driving conditions, this may just be a sensor malfunction. In this case, you can continue driving temporarily, but it is recommended to drive at low to medium speeds and immediately go to an auto repair shop for inspection and repair.
