Halogen bulbs do not need to be replaced. Vehicles with modified lighting will not pass the annual inspection, and in the event of an accident, the insurance company will only compensate for the original halogen bulbs or may not compensate at all. The principle of halogen bulbs is to inject halogen gases such as iodine or bromine into the bulb. At high temperatures, the sublimated tungsten filament reacts chemically with the halogen, and the cooled tungsten re-solidifies on the filament, forming a balanced cycle that prevents the filament from breaking prematurely. Precautions for using halogen bulbs: 1. Turn off the power when installing, and use a plastic sleeve to keep the glass shell of the bulb clean. Do not touch it with your hands. If accidentally touched, clean it with alcohol; 2. When the halogen bulb is lit, avoid direct cold air blowing onto the bulb.

Will ETC be subject to fraudulent charges?

Applying for ETC will not result in fraudulent charges, as the vast majority of ETC systems are very secure. To prevent ETC from being fraudulently charged, car owners are advised to: 1. Set a fixed limit for the ETC at the bank, and avoid setting it too high; 2. Remove the ETC card when leaving the vehicle; 3. ETC is an IC card that can only be settled in ETC scenarios, so try not to bind other bank cards when applying. The ETC system uses automatic vehicle identification technology to complete wireless data communication between the vehicle and the toll station, enabling automatic vehicle sensing and identification and the exchange of relevant toll data. It uses a computer network to process toll data, achieving a fully automatic electronic toll collection system without the need for stopping or setting up toll booths.

What Should Be Noted During the Overtaking Process While Driving?

During the overtaking process, forced overtaking is prohibited. If the vehicle ahead does not yield speed or lane due to certain reasons, forced overtaking should not be attempted. When there is insufficient safe distance ahead of the vehicle in front, do not forcibly squeeze in or push against it. Maintain a smooth overtaking path. Before overtaking, move into the left lane in advance, and delay returning to the right lane after overtaking, keeping the driving trajectory basically parallel to the vehicle being overtaken. Always pay attention to maintaining a safe distance from the overtaken vehicle before, during, and after overtaking. If an obstacle is detected on the left side during overtaking and the lateral distance is too small, potentially causing a squeeze or scrape, quickly decelerate, abort the overtaking, and wait for another opportunity. However, use the brake cautiously to prevent skidding. Key considerations for overtaking include: timing the overtake correctly. Often, it's safer to overtake when there are fewer vehicles ahead and behind and the road conditions are good. Remember to use the turn signal—activate the left turn signal to alert the vehicle behind that you intend to overtake, and quickly switch to the right turn signal after overtaking to return to the normal lane. Use the horn appropriately. Depending on the situation, honk the horn to alert the vehicle ahead of your intention to overtake, prompting them to yield. Utilize high beams and hazard lights effectively. Proper use of high beams and hazard lights can alert the vehicle ahead that you are overtaking and also remind oncoming vehicles to stay safe.
