Failing to use the right turn signal when turning right at a red light is a violation of the law and will result in penalties. Article 57 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates the following rules for using turn signals: 1. Left turn: The left turn signal must be activated in advance when making a left turn, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn. 2. Right turn: The right turn signal must be activated in advance when making a right turn, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or parking by the roadside. 3. Legal provisions: Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China states, 'If a motor vehicle driver violates the road traffic laws or regulations regarding road passage, they shall be given a warning or fined not less than 20 yuan but not more than 200 yuan. If this Law provides otherwise, penalties shall be imposed in accordance with the relevant provisions.'

What documents are required for the 2-year vehicle inspection?

Automobile biennial inspection requires the following documents: 1. "Motor Vehicle Inspection Label Application Form" (this does not need to be brought, as it is provided on-site and filled out directly); 2. Motor vehicle license; 3. Compulsory traffic insurance certificate; 4. Vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate; 5. Owner's ID card. If someone else handles it on behalf of the owner, the representative must bring their own ID card. The methods to apply for the inspection label are as follows: 1. On-site processing: The owner personally brings the relevant documents directly to the local vehicle management office or traffic police department to apply for the inspection label without any charge. If it is entrusted to someone else, the representative must also bring their original ID card and a written power of attorney signed by the vehicle owner. 2. Online processing: Apply through the Comprehensive Traffic Safety Management Platform or the Traffic Management 12123 mobile app, fill in the relevant information, and after the vehicle management office accepts the application, the required documents will be collected via courier to the processing office. After verification, the vehicle management office will deliver all inspection qualification labels to your door by courier.

What Do the Specifications on Tires Represent?

Tire specification numbers indicate the model of the tire. The tire model refers to the international standard tire code, usually found on the sidewall of the tire. It includes the width of the tire's cross-section in millimeters, the aspect ratio (percentage of the section height to the section width) in millimeters, the diameter of the wheel rim in inches, and the load index. These are the meanings represented by the tire specification numbers. Below is an introduction to the meanings of tire specification numbers: 1. Tire Width: The wider the tire, the larger the contact area with the ground. When driving, this will increase the friction between the tire and the ground, which is not favorable for fuel consumption. However, increased friction provides stronger wet grip performance and improves the tire's drainage capability, enhancing driving safety in rainy conditions. 2. Aspect Ratio: The aspect ratio is the percentage of the tire's section height divided by its width. A higher value means a thicker tire, which reduces maneuverability but increases comfort. Generally, standard passenger cars should not use tires with an aspect ratio greater than 75%, while luxury cars and high-performance sports cars are recommended to use tires with an aspect ratio below 60%. 3. Letters R and H: In tire specifications, you may notice two letters in addition to numbers. Here, R represents the tire type (radial tire), and H represents the speed rating. The speed rating indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. For example, V represents a maximum speed of 240 km/h under specified load (refer to the speed rating chart for details).

What is the actual measured ground clearance of the CRV?

" The ground clearance of the CRV is 135 millimeters. The ground clearance of the CRV refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. The higher the ground clearance of the CRV, the better its off-road capability. However, if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The design of the CRV began in 2008, with dimensions of 4621 millimeters in length, 1855 millimeters in width, and 1689 millimeters in height, and a wheelbase of 2660 millimeters. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110 millimeters and 150 millimeters, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200 millimeters and 250 millimeters. However, the ground clearance of the CRV is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the CRV's load variations. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice should depend on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For urban areas with well-maintained roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. If the vehicle is frequently used in remote areas or on poor road conditions, a higher ground clearance may be preferable to avoid scraping or damaging the undercarriage, considering the vehicle's off-road performance.

What is the purpose of automotive urea?

Automotive urea solution can reduce harmful nitrogen oxides in exhaust gases into nitrogen and water, thereby decreasing the level of exhaust pollution. Below is a related introduction to automotive urea solution: 1. Function: Automotive urea solution is used to reduce nitrogen oxide compounds in vehicle exhaust, lowering the degree of exhaust pollution. 2. Composition: Automotive urea solution is a colorless, transparent, and clear liquid, a urea-based chemical reactant, formulated from high-purity urea without any additives and pure water, with a urea content of 32.5% (mass fraction) in the solution. 3. Significance: Automotive urea solution is key to reducing pollutant emissions from diesel vehicles. Applying automotive urea solution in the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system is crucial for engine exhaust emissions to meet National IV and higher emission standards.

What Does Regular Car Maintenance Include?

Regular car maintenance includes: 1. Changing engine oil and oil filter, cleaning the air filter; 2. Checking whether the coolant level is normal; 3. Inspecting the car's brakes and chassis components for any scratches; 4. Checking the power steering fluid level and the condition of all oil pipe connections; 5. Examining the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and belt for signs of aging; 6. Checking tire pressure and wear condition. Below is relevant information about regular car maintenance: 1. Purpose of regular maintenance: The main goal of regular car maintenance is to keep the car clean and in good technical condition, eliminate potential hazards, prevent accidents, slow down the aging process of car components, extend their service life, and ensure the car operates properly. 2. Types of regular maintenance: Regular car maintenance is divided into three levels: primary maintenance, secondary maintenance, and tertiary maintenance. Typically, a car should undergo primary maintenance every 2,000-3,000 kilometers. After driving 10,000-15,000 kilometers, secondary maintenance is required, which must be performed by professional mechanics.
