Modifying car shock absorbers is illegal. Here are the relevant details: Illegal vehicle modifications refer to altering the appearance, power system, transmission system, or braking system beyond the load capacity and functions permitted by national laws and manufacturer agreements, including replacing key components. Modifying car shock absorbers involves altering key components, hence it is illegal. According to Article 16 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" issued by the Ministry of Public Security: the following modifications are allowed for small and micro passenger vehicles—installation of front and rear anti-collision devices; for freight vehicles—installation of windshields, water tanks, toolboxes, spare tire racks, etc.; and interior decorations for motor vehicles. Any other changes, such as altering the brand, model, engine type, or registered appearance and technical data of the motor vehicle, are considered illegal modifications.

What are the steps for turning while driving?

The steps for turning while driving are: 1. When turning, be sure to slow down in advance, check the rearview mirror carefully, and ensure there are no vehicles or pedestrians behind or to the side before turning; 2. Steering wheel control is crucial during a turn. For a sharp turn, turn the steering wheel as much as possible, then gradually straighten it after completing the turn. For a wide turn, turn the steering wheel slowly. Drivers should turn on the front parking lights and fog lights early when turning in heavy fog, use the horn moderately to alert pedestrians and other vehicles, proceed slowly, and be prepared to brake at any time. On highways or roads with gentle slopes and wide surfaces, take the inside lane when entering the turn and move to the outside lane when exiting the turn to cut the corner.

Can a Keyless Start Car Automatically Shut Off When the Driver Leaves?

Keyless start cars cannot automatically shut off after the owner leaves. Below are specific reasons why the key may not be detected: 1. Weak battery: For cars with batteries older than 2 years or those parked for extended periods, you can check the battery's condition using a multimeter. Typically, the voltage should be around 12V when not in use and above 10V during ignition to rule out battery issues. 2. Poor fuse contact: Lightly tap the fuse box. If the car starts, it indicates poor fuse contact. 3. Starter motor failure: If the battery has power but no sound is heard from the starter motor when pressing the ignition button, it may be a starter motor issue, requiring replacement at a repair shop.
