You cannot change a spare tire by yourself on the highway. Even changing it in the emergency lane is not allowed, as both actions are considered illegal. Here is detailed information about car spare tires: 1. Overview: A spare tire refers to a backup tire for a car, with specifications typically matching those of the original car tires. Some vehicles use spare tires with special-colored rims, compact spares, folding spares, or run-flat tires to remind owners to inspect and replace faulty tires promptly. 2. Precautions: A spare tire is actually for emergency use and is not intended for long-term use. Regardless of its width, manufacturers have specific production and usage requirements for spare tires. Since spare tires are not used regularly and do not experience wear, an unworn tire is different from a heavily worn one. Using a spare tire on a vehicle inherently carries certain safety risks.

Driving age is limited to 70 years old. Individuals aged 70 and above are not permitted to drive low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery. Relevant information regarding the relationship between driving and age is as follows: 1. Strengthened management by relevant departments: Holders of ordinary three-wheeled motorcycle or ordinary two-wheeled motorcycle driving licenses. Article 5 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" stipulates that traffic management departments of public security organs shall establish a supervision system for vehicle management offices handling motor vehicle driving license business, strengthening supervision and management of driver examinations, driving license issuance, and use. 2. Relevant legal provisions: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" in China, the age requirement for applying for driving licenses for cars, motorcycles, etc., must be between 18 and 70 years old. This means that individuals aged 70 and above cannot obtain a driving license and are not allowed to drive on the road privately. The age requirement for applying for a Class C driving license is between 18 and 70 years old. In other words, if one does not have a driving license by the age of 70, they cannot drive on the road.

What is the reason for the abnormal front passenger occupant protection system?

An abnormal front passenger occupant protection system is caused by a malfunction in the airbag system. Below are the specific details about airbags: 1. Trigger factors: The airbag system is designed to deploy the driver and front passenger frontal airbags in the event of a severe frontal collision, while the head airbags deploy according to the severity of the collision. Airbags will not deploy in cases of minor frontal collisions, minor side collisions, rear collisions, rollovers, or accidents with insignificant impact forces. 2. Function: The airbag system is a passive safety protection system that, when used in conjunction with seat belts, provides effective collision protection for occupants. It forms an elastic cushion in front of the driver or passenger, promptly deflates and contracts to absorb impact energy, thereby effectively protecting the head and chest from injury or reducing the severity of injuries.

Why was BYD SkyRail suspended?

BYD SkyRail was suspended because the construction of rail transit requires approval from the Ministry of Transport, and previous approvals from local governments were not valid. Here are the details: Concept: "SkyRail" is a sub-brand of BYD's rail transit industry and the unique name for BYD's straddle-type monorail product. Advantages: The track in the monorail system can be built in the central median of roads or on narrow streets, without occupying additional road space. It is a medium-capacity urban rail transit system with capacity close to that of a subway system. It offers advantages such as strong climbing ability, small turning radius, adaptability to various terrains, low noise, relatively low construction technical requirements, lower overall cost, and shorter construction cycles.

How Many Kilowatt-Hours Does It Take to Fully Charge a Car?

To determine how much electricity is needed to fully charge a car, it depends on the capacity of the car's battery. 1kWh equals one kilowatt-hour, so the number of kWh the vehicle's battery has represents how many kilowatt-hours it can output. Below are some precautions regarding car charging: 1. Pay attention to charging duration: Charging should be done in moderation. Charging too little or too much is not ideal. Insufficient charging will not provide enough power, while leaving the car charging for too long can lead to safety issues, including battery damage and even the risk of spontaneous combustion. Therefore, most charging should be done according to the vehicle's requirements to prevent safety hazards. 2. Turn off in-car devices: Just as it's not recommended to use a phone while charging it, it's best not to stay inside the car or turn on the air conditioning, music, or other configurations while charging. Using electricity while charging can easily drain the battery and cause overheating, which is particularly unsafe in summer and can increase the risk of vehicle combustion. 3. Turn off headlights: Another crucial point is not to forget to turn off the headlights. The headlights and engine ignition rely on the battery's power. If the headlights are left on, it may result in the car not being able to start at night.
