Hey, I once encountered a situation where the steering warning light in my Volkswagen came on, and the steering wheel immediately became as heavy as turning a big rock, requiring a lot of arm strength to make turns. The mechanic checked it for me and said common causes include false alarms from the electric power steering system's sensors, low battery voltage affecting the system's power supply, or faults in the steering module itself. Another possibility is a blown fuse or loose wiring connections. He said this issue shouldn't be delayed because if the power assistance fails completely, it's especially dangerous at high speeds. It's best to turn off the engine and call a tow truck to take it to the shop for diagnosis. Pay attention to changes in steering feel during daily driving, and get it checked early if there are issues—don't wait until the light comes on to take action.

What percentage of speeding is not allowed on highways?

On highways, vehicles exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% will not be penalized or receive demerit points, but will be given a warning. For speeding between 10% and 20%, a fine of 50 RMB and 3 demerit points will be imposed. For speeding between 20% and 50%, a fine of 200 RMB and 3 demerit points will be issued. For speeding between 50% and 70%, a fine of 1,000 RMB and 6 demerit points will be applied. If the speed exceeds 70% over the limit, in addition to a fine of 2,000 RMB, the driver's license will be revoked. Vehicles on highways can travel at speeds of 120 kilometers per hour or higher. Highways typically have four or more lanes with a central divider, and pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles are prohibited from entering. Highways are classified as high-grade roads, designed specifically for high-speed vehicular traffic, with an average annual daily traffic volume exceeding 25,000 passenger cars. All access points are controlled. The construction of highways is aimed at meeting the demands of industrialization and urbanization. With the continuous advancement of automotive technology, the need for highways has grown significantly, aligning with the trends of vehicle lightweighting and increased load capacity.

Where are the brake and accelerator positions in a sedan?

In a sedan, the brake is positioned in the middle, and the accelerator is on the far right. Tips for distinguishing between the brake and accelerator: 1. Left brake, right accelerator: The left pedal is the brake, and the right one is the accelerator—establish this as a natural and firm concept in your mind. 2. Heel under the brake: Drivers should develop the habit of placing their heel directly below the brake pedal, allowing them to brake immediately in emergencies. 3. Press the accelerator diagonally and the brake straight: Since the heel is positioned directly below the brake pedal, pressing the brake involves a vertical downward motion, while the accelerator is to the right of the brake, requiring the toes to move rightward diagonally without moving the heel. 4. Rest your foot on the brake when idle: When not accelerating, keep your foot on the brake pedal to be ready for braking at any moment. Placing it near the accelerator might lead to accidental pressing in a panic, whereas keeping it on the brake ensures better preparedness for sudden situations.

Does a 3-point deduction on the driver's license affect the annual vehicle inspection?

C licenses do not require annual inspection. For AB licenses with a 3-point deduction, the annual inspection is allowed, but the holder must participate in study sessions and examinations during the inspection. Vehicle inspection regulations: For passenger vehicles used for commercial purposes, inspections are required once a year within the first 5 years, and every 6 months thereafter. For trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspections are required once a year within the first 10 years, and every 6 months thereafter. For small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspections are required once every 2 years within the first 6 years, once a year thereafter, and every 6 months after 15 years. Consequences of failing to attend the annual inspection on time: Vehicles that do not undergo the annual inspection on time are not allowed on the road. Driving such vehicles will result in a 3-point deduction and a fine. In the event of a traffic accident involving a vehicle that has not undergone the annual inspection, the party involved will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not provide compensation.
