In an automatic transmission car, the left pedal is the brake pedal, and the right pedal is the accelerator pedal; whereas in a manual transmission car, the middle pedal is the brake pedal, the right pedal is the accelerator pedal, and the left pedal is the clutch pedal. Below are some techniques for braking: Braking while following a car: When following another vehicle, ensure a safe distance from the car ahead. Gently press the brake pedal to maintain braking force, then adjust the pressure based on the speed of the vehicle in front. Braking to avoid a collision: When there is sufficient braking distance, slowly and steadily press the brake pedal to decelerate evenly. As the car approaches a stop, gradually release the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a complete halt. Braking on a curve: When approaching a curve, brake before entering to slow down, then enter the curve slowly and accelerate out of it. While braking on a curve, steer the wheel and adjust the car's posture according to the curve's arc.

Is Engine Oil a Hazardous Substance?

Engine oil is not a hazardous substance. According to the national standard GB6944-2012 "Names and Numbers of Hazardous Goods and Products," common hazardous chemicals are classified into seven categories based on their primary hazardous characteristics: the first category is explosives; the second category is compressed gases and liquefied gases; the third category is flammable liquids; the fourth category is flammable solids, substances liable to spontaneous combustion, and substances emitting flammable gases when wet; the fifth category is oxidizing substances and organic peroxides; the sixth category is toxic substances; and the seventh category is corrosive substances. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is composed of base oil and additives, with base oil being the main component of lubricants. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines, with its primary functions being to reduce friction and wear on moving parts, remove sludge and varnish from the engine, neutralize acids produced by fuel and lubricant oxidation, improve piston ring sealing, and cool the engine by carrying away heat from moving parts. The roles of engine oil include: cooling and temperature reduction; sealing and leak prevention; cleaning; shock absorption; lubrication to reduce wear; rust and corrosion prevention; and component protection.

Is an untransferred car insurance policy equivalent to having no insurance?

An untransferred car insurance policy still counts as having insurance. Introduction to car insurance: Car insurance is a type of property insurance. In the field of property insurance, car insurance is a relatively young category, as it emerged and developed alongside the appearance and popularization of automobiles. Unlike modern motor vehicle insurance, early car insurance primarily focused on third-party liability coverage and gradually expanded to include risks such as collision damage to the vehicle body. Introduction to commercial car insurance: The main types of commercial insurance include vehicle loss insurance, third-party liability insurance, passenger liability insurance, and comprehensive theft insurance. Motor vehicle loss insurance covers the insured vehicle against natural disasters or accidents within the scope of the policy, resulting in loss or damage to the insured vehicle, for which the insurer compensates according to the terms of the insurance contract.

What Stage is a Car with 70,000 Kilometers In?

A car with 70,000 kilometers is not considered old. Based on normal mileage conversion, it's roughly equivalent to a three-year-old car, which is still relatively new. Tire Replacement at 70,000 Kilometers: By the time a car reaches over 70,000 kilometers, the tread wear on the tires is usually quite severe, and the rubber may have aged. For driving safety, it is recommended to replace the tires. Transmission Fluid Replacement at 70,000 Kilometers: Transmission fluid has a usage cycle and generally needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. After driving over 70,000 kilometers, it's basically time to replace the transmission fluid. Cleaning the Three-Way Catalytic Converter at 70,000 Kilometers: As the vehicle's mileage increases, carbon deposits from the engine can clog the three-way catalytic converter, leading to poor acceleration and non-compliant exhaust emissions. The cleaning cycle for the three-way catalytic converter is typically every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. It is advisable to clean it at this stage.

What Causes Loud Car Noises?

The reasons for loud car noises are as follows: Engine working noise: You can install a soundproofing pad to block engine noise from entering the cabin. Tire noise: Tire noise is unavoidable, but you can replace them with quieter tires if possible. Wind noise while driving: Car wind noise occurs when wind pressure exceeds the door seal resistance and enters the cabin. Adding sealing strips or soundproofing pads to the door frames can help. Chassis noise: The chassis is the foundation of the entire vehicle, bearing weight while also being affected by noise. During driving, the chassis rubs against the air, and the drivetrain operates beneath the car, combined with tire noise. Applying soundproofing pads and vibration damping plates to the bottom of the trunk will be very effective.

Is a car inspected twice a year after 15 years?

After 15 years, a car must undergo two inspections per year. Vehicle inspection regulations: Operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within 5 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within 10 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 10 years. Small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within 6 years, once a year after exceeding 6 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. Consequences of failing to undergo annual inspection on time: Vehicles that do not undergo annual inspection on time are not allowed on the road. If driven, the vehicle will be penalized with 3 demerit points and a fine. In the event of a traffic accident involving a vehicle that has not undergone annual inspection, the responsible party will bear full or primary liability, and the insurance company will not provide compensation.

What is the top speed of the Huanglong 300?

The top speed of the Huanglong 300 is 178 km/h. The official top speed of the Chunfeng 400 is stated as 155 km/h, but in reality, it should be able to exceed 180 km/h. Motorcycle RPM and Speed: Due to differences in motorcycle displacement and configuration, the range between speed and engine RPM varies. For most models, first gear corresponds to an engine speed of 2000-3000 RPM, with a speed of around 20-30 km/h. Second gear corresponds to 3000-4000 RPM, with a speed of approximately 50-60 km/h. Subsequent gears follow this pattern. Generally, once the engine RPM reaches 5000, it is no longer suitable to drive in gears below third; higher gears should be promptly engaged based on road conditions and speed. Usage of Motorcycle Gears: First gear is typically used for starting and is not suitable for prolonged driving. Second gear is a low-speed gear, usually engaged shortly after starting, and is often used for crossing water surfaces or descending slopes. Gears three to six are used according to road conditions and speed, with higher gears enabling faster speeds.
