Installing a roof box on a sedan is not illegal. However, the load must not exceed the maximum load capacity specified in the vehicle's registration certificate, and the length and width of the load must not extend beyond the vehicle body. Here are its advantages: 1. Low wind resistance and noise: The wind resistance and noise of a roof box are much lower than those of a roof basket or other carrying equipment. Roof baskets or soft roof bags with irregular shapes after loading other equipment create higher wind resistance and noise. Roof boxes are designed with a streamlined shape. 2. High theft resistance: The theft resistance of a roof box is much higher than that of other carrying equipment. Roof boxes generally come standard with locks, and some upgraded roof boxes are made of ABS+ASA/PMMA material, which cannot be easily cut with ordinary knives.

Do Sedans Need Safety Hammers?

Sedans do need safety hammers. Here are some tips for choosing a safety hammer: 1. Product design: The safety hammer should have a long handle and a sharp hammer head. Otherwise, a dull safety hammer may delay self-rescue time. 2. Price: As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Don't just look at the price; choose one with good cost performance based on the material. 3. Functionality: Choose a safety hammer with complete functions.

What does a car traveling at 80 per hour mean?

A car travels at 80 km (kilometers) per hour. Here is an introduction to car speed: 1. On urban expressways: It takes about 1 hour for a car to travel 80 kilometers, which means it travels at 80 km/h. Most cars today can reach a speed of 80 km/h. The car's speed is 80 km/h, which can also be written as 80 KM/H, meaning it can travel 80 kilometers per hour at this speed. 2. On highways: The maximum speed limit on domestic highways is 120 km/h, with some sections even lower. This means the maximum speed for small passenger vehicles must not exceed 120 km/h, and drivers must adhere to the posted speed limits and markings in designated sections.

Why Can't a Motorcycle Engine Start When Cold?

Motorcycle engine fails to start when cold due to the following reasons: 1. Aged or dead battery: The battery needs replacement. 2. Incomplete engine warm-up in low winter temperatures: Extreme cold in winter increases the viscosity of motorcycle engine oil, and low temperatures can cause the oil to solidify into clumps, making it difficult to start the motorcycle. Pushing the motorcycle indoors and letting it sit for an hour can restore cylinder pressure to its normal state, making it easier to start. 3. Faulty spark plug: Prolonged use degrades spark plug performance, requiring replacement. 4. Empty fuel tank: Simply refuel in time.
