When encountering flooded roads during driving, observe whether there are any detour signs around. If detour signs are present, driving in the opposite direction is permissible; otherwise, such operation constitutes a traffic violation. Below are emergency strategies for encountering flooded roads: Pay attention to the water depth: When encountering flooded roads during driving, carefully observe the water depth. If the water depth exceeds the axle, it is not advisable to continue driving. Before entering a flooded area, maintain a considerable distance from the vehicle ahead. For unfamiliar roads, follow the path taken by the preceding vehicle to avoid encountering obstacles in the water. Drive in low gear: Use a low gear when entering water, supply fuel steadily, and proceed at a slow, constant speed without stopping in the water. After exiting the flooded road, do not suddenly shift to a higher gear and drive at high speed. Instead, repeatedly test the brakes while driving, moving intermittently to dry the brake pads through friction. Only resume normal driving after confirming the brakes are effective.

Is a Car Considered Real Estate?

No, a car is considered personal property. Below are the differences between personal property and real estate: 1. Different definitions: Personal property refers to assets that can be separated from their original location, such as various liquid assets, long-term investments, and fixed assets other than real estate. Real estate refers to physical objects that cannot be moved or will be severely damaged in economic value if moved, such as land and attachments like houses and trees. 2. Different durability: Personal property generally experiences wear and tear, with certain losses occurring during movement or circulation, and its durability is usually limited. Real estate typically has a long lifespan; for example, land does not wear out or get destroyed due to use or placement, and it appreciates in value.

How to Replace the Photo on a Driver's License?

You can replace the photo on your driver's license by applying for a replacement license, which typically takes one to two days. According to Article 63 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," if a driver's license is lost, the driver should apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office where the license was originally issued or at another authorized office. During the application process, you need to fill out an application form and submit the required documents and proofs. Below is an introduction to driver's licenses: 1. Driver's License Overview: A driver's license, also known as a "driving license," is a legal document required for operating motor vehicles. 2. Driver's License as a "Permit": Driving a motor vehicle requires specific skills. Without these skills, driving could lead to accidents. Therefore, drivers must have a license to operate a vehicle legally. For those who have mastered safe driving techniques, the license serves as official permission to drive. This highlights that a driver's license is essentially a "permit." 3. Definition of a Driver's License: Internationally, a driver's license is defined as "a document issued by competent authorities permitting the holder to drive a motor vehicle." In China, it is defined as "a legal certificate issued by administrative authorities to individuals who have learned traffic regulations and driving skills, passed the required tests, and are permitted to drive specific types of motor vehicles."

How to Repair Paint Damage Caused by Self-Cleaning Agents?

Self-cleaning agents are primarily used to remove stains from tires and rims. Most self-cleaning agents available on the market are highly alkaline, essentially falling into the category of caustic soda. Even when diluted to a ratio of 1:100, they remain strongly alkaline and highly corrosive. There have been numerous cases where using so-called "no-rub" self-cleaning agents for car washing has damaged the paint. These products can also pose significant risks to both human health and the vehicle during cleaning. Therefore, once self-cleaning agents damage car paint, it cannot be repaired, and they should never be used directly for car washing. Caution is strongly advised. Below is more relevant information: 1. Cleaning Performance: Cleaning performance alone does not determine the quality of a cleaning agent, as cleaning is just one function of such products. The key consideration is whether the cleaning agent can ensure that the surface being cleaned is not subjected to secondary damage. The correct approach is to choose safe, eco-friendly professional car wash and detailing products and avoid using corrosive alkaline cleaners or acidic cleaners containing harmful acids. 2. Self-Cleaning Agent Products: There are many self-cleaning agent products on the market today, many of which boast high cleaning power, no-rub application, no need for scrubbing, and efficiency, making them popular among some car wash and detailing shops. While self-cleaning agents can remove tough stains effectively, any chemical capable of such strong cleaning inevitably has some level of corrosiveness.

Why Does the Right Side Always Cross the Line in Right-Angle Turns?

1. The following are the reasons why the right side always crosses the line in right-angle turns: 1. Speed is too high: Do not drive too fast, as high speed makes it difficult to control the vehicle body, which can easily lead to crossing the corner or line. 2. Position is too close: Before turning, the distance between the vehicle body and the inner line should not be too close; otherwise, insufficient reserved space may cause crossing the line. 3. Inaccurate reference points: If the reference points during the turn are not accurately identified, the likelihood of crossing the line increases significantly. Turning too early may cause crossing the inner corner, while turning too late may cause crossing the outer line. 2. The following is an introduction to the driving test subjects: 1. Subject 1: Also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. 2. Subject 2: Also known as the small road test, it includes five test items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving. 3. Subject 3: Also known as the big road test, it is the road driving skills test in the motor vehicle driver's examination. 4. Subject 4: Also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test.
