Rust on the car's steering column is a normal phenomenon. Additional information is as follows: 1. Steering column: The steering column is the component that connects the steering wheel and the steering gear in the steering system. Through the steering column, the driver transmits torque to the steering gear, driving the steering gear to achieve steering. Common types of steering columns include hydraulic power steering columns, electro-hydraulic power steering columns, and electric power steering columns, each with different systems. 2. Steering system: A series of devices used to change or maintain the direction of a car's movement, whether forward or backward, are called the car's steering system. The function of the car's steering system is to control the direction of the car's movement according to the driver's wishes. The car's steering system is crucial to the safety of the vehicle, so all components of the steering system are considered safety-critical parts. Both the car's steering system and braking system are two systems that must be given utmost importance for vehicle safety.

Is it a violation to change lanes by slightly crossing a solid line?

This behavior constitutes a violation of prohibitory marking instructions and is considered illegal, resulting in penalty points. Changing lanes by crossing a solid line: The most common violation of prohibitory marking instructions is changing lanes by crossing a solid line. Single or double yellow solid lines and white solid lines all fall under prohibitory markings. During driving, whether crossing or going beyond these lines is considered illegal. Relevant regulations: Operating a motor vehicle in violation of prohibitory signs or marking instructions; operating a motor vehicle by not following the rules for overtaking or yielding, or driving in the opposite direction; operating a motor vehicle in violation of regulations for towing a trailer; all are illegal acts. Additional information: When driving on the road, if encountering special vehicles such as fire trucks performing tasks, crossing a solid line to yield to these special vehicles will not be penalized. Even if captured as a violation, the vehicle owner can appeal to the traffic department after receiving the ticket, explaining the situation at the time. The relevant department will review based on the footage of the incident and the special vehicle's route that day. If approved, the penalty can be revoked.

How long does it take to get the metal license plate when a 4S dealership handles new car registration?

When a 4S dealership handles new car registration from temporary license to metal license plate installation, it usually takes within half a month. Because the temporary license is valid for half a month, generally you can get the license plate immediately after the vehicle inspection, except for customized license plates, which may take about another week. Documents required for registration: Original ID card, ID card copy (not necessary, as there are copying services at the tax bureau and vehicle management office). Original vehicle certificate; Compulsory insurance policy (commercial insurance can be purchased after registration); Purchase invoice; Purchase qualification certificate; Original registration form, etc. Registration time: It takes up to two days to complete the relevant procedures at the counter. That is to say, self-handled new car registration with complete documents can be completed in three days. Generally, after the procedures are completed, the license plate needs to be manufactured, and it cannot be obtained on the same day. It takes about 5 working days to collect the license plate. The specific time is subject to the local vehicle management office.

What Are the Reasons Why a Car Won't Start and the Key Can't Be Pulled Out?

When a car won't start and the key can't be pulled out, it is usually due to fuel or electrical system issues. First, check if the fuel level is insufficient. Without gasoline, the car's power source, the engine won't start. If the car won't start due to lack of fuel, you can seek help from nearby car owners, request fuel assistance, or arrange for towing to a gas station as emergency measures. Below are the specific reasons why a car won't start: 1. Insufficient fuel: Without gasoline, the car's power source, the engine won't start. If this is the case, seek help from nearby car owners, request fuel assistance, or arrange for towing to a gas station as emergency measures. 2. Incorrect gear position: For automatic transmission cars, the correct gear positions for starting are usually P (Park) or N (Neutral). Placing the gear in R (Reverse) or other positions not only prevents the car from starting but also poses safety risks. 3. Electrical issues: Common faults that cause a car to not start include blown fuses, open ignition coils, broken low-voltage circuits, detached central ignition wires, distributor leakage, or damaged spark plugs.

Is There Profit in Scrapping Cars?

Vehicle owners can receive residual value fees for scrapping their cars. If the scrapped vehicle meets subsidy standards, they may also qualify for national subsidies. Conditions for scrapping vehicles: Owners applying for vehicle scrapping and replacement must fill out one copy of the "Motor Vehicle Alteration, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, or Scrapping Application Form," stamped with the owner's seal; register and submit the application for review. For vehicles that have reached the scrapping age limit, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued; for vehicles that have not yet reached the scrapping age limit, upon inspection and confirmation that they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. New scrapping standards: The newly released "Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles" specifically define the mandatory scrapping age limits for various types of motor vehicles: Non-operational small and micro vehicles do not have a defined scrapping age limit. However, once the vehicle's mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, it will be guided to be scrapped. When the vehicle reaches 15 years of age, the annual inspection frequency will change from once a year to once every six months. If the vehicle fails the inspection, it will be mandatorily scrapped.
