Overtaking must be done from the left side; otherwise, it constitutes a traffic violation and may result in penalties. Here is relevant information about overtaking: Definition of overtaking: Overtaking refers to the process where a following vehicle changes lanes to the rear side of the vehicle in front, passes it, and then returns to the original lane. The lane typically used for overtaking is the inner lane, which is closer to the center of the road and farther from the shoulder. Dangers of improper overtaking: The right side is a blind spot for left-hand drive vehicles, with severely limited visibility. The vehicle being overtaken may not notice a violating vehicle on the right, making it prone to collisions with vehicles overtaking from the right when changing lanes to the right.

Can a Car Without the Green Book Be Mortgaged?

A car without the green book cannot be mortgaged. A mortgaged car cannot be transferred because the original owner has already mortgaged the "registration certificate" (green book) to a bank or financial institution when purchasing the car, and its status shows "mortgaged." The cover of the motor vehicle registration certificate is green, commonly referred to as the big green book. Below is extended information about the car green book: 1. Car Green Book: It refers to the motor vehicle registration certificate. The motor vehicle registration certificate is the legal proof of vehicle ownership, kept by the vehicle owner and not carried with the vehicle. If the motor vehicle registration certificate is lost, missing, or damaged, the vehicle owner should apply for a replacement or reissuance at the local vehicle management office. 2. Replacement: If the motor vehicle registration certificate is lost, missing, or damaged, and a replacement is required, the vehicle must also be inspected. The vehicle management office should confirm the vehicle and review the submitted proofs and documents within one day of acceptance, then reissue or replace the motor vehicle registration certificate.

Is There Any Difference Between the Two Car Keys?

Newly manufactured cars usually come with two keys, which are identical in style and function for the owner's convenience. Car keys can be categorized into three types: 1. Mechanical Key: Losing a mechanical key is both convenient and troublesome. The convenience lies in the fact that the primary key and the spare key are completely identical. If the primary key is lost, you can simply purchase a key blank and have a new key cut to match the spare key. The trouble is that if someone finds the lost key, they can easily open the door and start the vehicle. 2. Standard Remote Key: A standard remote key consists of a remote control and a mechanical key. If one remote is lost, you only need to take the spare remote and a newly purchased remote to the 4S store to have them rematched with the car. The lost remote will then become invalid. 3. Chip Key: If a chip key is lost, you can buy a new key and take both the spare key and the new key to the 4S store for rematching. In this case, the person who finds the key can at most use the mechanical key to open the door but cannot start the engine. Of course, the most permanent solution is to replace the mechanical lock.

What is the difference between transferring and not transferring ownership when buying a car?

In essence, the difference between transferring and not transferring ownership of a vehicle lies in whether the vehicle is registered under your name. Only when the ownership is transferred to you do you become the true owner, and the vehicle genuinely belongs to you. If the ownership is not transferred, the vehicle still legally belongs to someone else. Below is additional information on the transfer process: 1. Used cars: When purchasing a used car, transferring ownership is a mandatory procedure. Moreover, unless you have a trustworthy individual or agency acting on your behalf, you must personally handle the transfer to avoid any mishaps in the process. 2. Documentation: Ensure the purchased vehicle has no outstanding violations. Bring the vehicle's five essential documents: the vehicle registration certificate, title certificate, insurance policy, road tax receipt, and purchase tax receipt (originals), along with the new owner's ID and a copy of the previous owner's ID. Follow the instructions at the relevant office to complete the process. 3. Insurance: Not transferring ownership significantly impacts the insurance process for the vehicle owner. According to insurance regulations, if the insured vehicle is sold, transferred, gifted, or its purpose is altered, the policyholder must notify the insurance company in writing and apply for policy adjustments. Once the insured vehicle is transferred, the original policy becomes invalid.

What is Level 4 Autonomous Driving?

L4 autonomous driving belongs to "highly autonomous driving." Except for certain special circumstances, human intervention is generally not required. Autonomous vehicles that rely on specialized maps for operation fall under Level 4 autonomous driving. As long as there is a map, these vehicles can achieve full autonomous driving without human intervention, but they cannot drive autonomously everywhere. Below is an introduction to autonomous driving levels: 1. Level 0: No automation. The driver must always be in control of all mechanical and physical functions of the vehicle, with only alarms as assistance. 2. Level 1: The driver operates the vehicle, but individual devices can sometimes assist, such as Electronic Stability Program (ESP) or Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), which can help with driving safety. 3. Level 2: The driver primarily controls the vehicle, but the system offers partial automation to significantly reduce the operational burden. For example, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) combines automatic following and lane departure warnings, while Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) integrates blind-spot detection and partial collision avoidance system technologies. 4. Level 3: The driver must always be ready to take control of the vehicle. During autonomous driving assistance, such as when following another vehicle, the driver can temporarily be free from operation. However, when the vehicle detects a situation requiring the driver's intervention, it will immediately return control to the driver, who must take over in cases the system cannot handle.
