It is necessary to install a grounding strip to remove static electricity from private cars. Static electricity buildup in winter can lead to hazards: Especially in winter or abnormally dry environments, static electricity cannot dissipate through the air. Installation ensures improved vehicle safety. For older vehicles with minor oil seepage, static electricity may generate sparks that pose certain life safety threats. While driving, unexpected static shocks may cause excessive fright, potentially leading to traffic accidents. Static electricity can harm human health: Accumulated static electricity in the human body can damage health, severely affecting metabolism, raising blood sugar levels, causing skin diseases, and leading to autonomic nervous system disorders, reduced immunity, and increased susceptibility to illnesses like colds. Particularly during refueling at gas stations, it may also trigger accidental incidents.

Will I be penalized if my rear wheels cross the line at a red light and then stop?

Yes, you will be penalized. However, if you stop at the crosswalk and do not continue driving, it is not considered running a red light but rather an over-the-line stop. According to Article 10 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Violations": If a motor vehicle driver violates the traffic signal by stopping over the line, no points will be deducted. Running a red light is clearly defined in the "Road Traffic Safety Law". Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to proceed, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Running a red light occurs when a vehicle passes through an intersection while the signal is red, constituting a traffic violation. Running a red light refers to the situation where the vehicle is within the stop line, the signal is already red, but the vehicle continues to move forward until both the front and rear wheels have crossed the stop line. This is determined by capturing three photos via electronic cameras: A photo of the vehicle crossing the stop line at the intersection, including the red light and license plate number. A photo of the vehicle completely passing the stop line, including the red light and license plate number. A photo showing the vehicle continuing to move, comparing changes in the vehicle's position, including the red light and license plate number. Capturing these three photos confirms the act of running a red light. Running a red light is not considered illegal under the following circumstances: Extreme weather: When visibility is so low that even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights, resulting in blurred evidence photos, accidental running of a red light will not be penalized by traffic police. Emergency situations: If a citizen transports a patient with a critical condition, they can present proof from the hospital or the person being assisted to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation record can be expunged. If possible, it is best to call an ambulance to avoid traffic accidents caused by running a red light. Traffic police direction: During peak commuting hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at major intersections. Drivers should follow the hand signals of the traffic police. Yielding to special vehicles: Yielding to special vehicles such as ambulances and fire trucks. If caught on camera while yielding to such vehicles, manual review will not record the act of running a red light. Even if recorded, you can apply for reconsideration at the traffic police department.

Does prolonged idling with air conditioning on in summer affect the car?

Prolonged idling with air conditioning on does not affect the car's performance, it just consumes more fuel, but it can be harmful to human health, potentially leading to carbon monoxide poisoning. Here are the hazards of running the air conditioning while parked: 1. Running the air conditioning with the engine off: Using the air conditioning or other electrical devices (multimedia, headlights, cigarette lighter, phone charging, etc.) while the engine is off puts excessive load on the battery. Over time, this can easily drain the battery, making it difficult to start the car, and can also cause damage to the battery. The battery simply "drains" when the engine is off, which is not worth the cost. 2. Running the air conditioning at idle: If the air conditioning is on while the car is idling, it is recommended not to leave the car idling for too long. "Idling" means the engine is "working but not moving," where the engine only needs to overcome the friction resistance of its internal components without generating any output power. This leads to incomplete fuel combustion, which can easily cause carbon deposits in the cylinders and on the throttle valve.

What is the suitable tire pressure in hot weather?

Tire pressure around 2.4bar is more suitable in hot weather, because the tire temperature will rise after driving, which will cause the air pressure inside the tire to continue increasing. Tires are the only components of a car that come into contact with the ground, and they are crucial for the driving stability and safety of the vehicle. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling. Over time, they will show signs of aging. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage driven within those four years is relatively low. When purchasing new tires, pay attention to the production date, as tires can also age even if they are not used for a long time.

What Should Beginners Pay Attention to When Driving?

Beginners should pay attention to the following when driving: 1. Maintain a good driving mindset; 2. Reverse slowly; 3. Estimate the following distance based on the current speed while driving. When parking, the following distance is generally appropriate if you can't see the rear wheels of the car in front. Pay extra attention to switching lights when driving at night and learn to use light signals. Taboos for beginners on the road: 1. Stopping on the highway due to a malfunction, suddenly pulling over, and not setting up warning signs while passengers gather around the car is extremely dangerous; 2. Missing an exit and reversing back or suddenly braking and slowing down when passing road signs, even stopping to read signs or make phone calls, are major taboos on highways; 3. Answering phone calls while driving at high speeds can distract attention and cause the car to veer off course. Sudden deceleration can easily lead to rear-end collisions.
