When driving in snowy weather, the traction control system should be turned on. Things to note: Accelerate slowly, as rapid acceleration can cause wheel spin and make the surface beneath the tires slippery. During emergency braking, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) can enhance vehicle stability, but braking should be applied earlier compared to dry road conditions. Maintain distance: Keep a longer following distance and be cautious of slippery spots. Additionally, shaded areas on otherwise ice-free roads may have patches of ice. While surrounding roads may be clear, curves or overpass surfaces might still be covered in ice. When on ice, avoid sudden steering maneuvers and braking.

Do new cars have an annual inspection sticker?

New cars do have an annual inspection sticker. After completing the vehicle registration process, a new car will be issued an inspection compliance sticker (also known as the annual inspection sticker). You can inquire at the local vehicle management office for details. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety," aimed at promptly eliminating potential safety hazards, encouraging enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents—commonly referred to as a vehicle inspection. 2. Important Note: Currently, only non-commercial passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles are exempt from on-site inspections for six years. However, vans and vehicles with seven or more seats are not included in the six-year exemption and still require regular annual inspections.

Where is the 45-degree position on the steering wheel?

The correct hand position on the steering wheel is left hand at the 9 o'clock position and right hand at the 3 o'clock position. Introduction 1: The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of vehicles such as cars, ships, and airplanes. Introduction 2: The function of the steering wheel is to convert the force applied by the driver on its rim into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a skeleton, foam, and mounting clips or screw holes corresponding to the driver airbag (DAB). Introduction 3: Over 120 years ago, the steering wheel initially installed by automobile inventors on steam cars was mounted on a vertical steering column, which had the disadvantages of being difficult for drivers to operate and obstructing their view.

What is a shorter braking distance?

Braking distance becoming shorter refers to the distance required to stop a vehicle in a given time being reduced compared to before. Below is relevant information: 1. Braking distance: A vehicle's braking primarily depends on the friction between the tires and the road. The braking distance is directly proportional to the square of the speed and inversely proportional to the friction coefficient. When the friction coefficient is constant, the braking distance depends on the vehicle's speed. If the speed doubles, the braking distance increases to four times the original. 2. Extended braking distance: This means the distance from when braking begins to when the vehicle comes to a complete stop is lengthened. While driving, the time taken from completing the braking action to actually stopping is the braking time, and the distance covered is the braking distance. The braking distance extends because when moving on the road, if the resistance between the vehicle and the road surface decreases, the vehicle becomes harder to stop, and the distance from when braking begins to when it stops will lengthen.

Can You Turn Right in the Rightmost Lane Marked for Going Straight?

The rightmost lane marked for going straight does not allow right turns. If the rightmost lane at an intersection is designated for going straight, it indicates a clear straight-ahead directive, meaning this lane does not permit right turns. Generally, right turns should be possible at most intersections. Some right-turn entrances are set up before the intersection, while others may not be located in the rightmost lane. Drivers should pay close attention to traffic signals and road signs for guidance. According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": When motor vehicles pass through intersections controlled by traffic signals, they must adhere to the following rules: At intersections with designated lanes, enter the appropriate lane based on the intended direction of travel. Turning right from the rightmost straight lane violates the provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" and is therefore considered illegal.

How to add USB to a car that doesn't have one originally?

It can be retrofitted. Here is relevant information: 1. Go to a professional 4S shop: Among current automotive electronic products, car DVD navigation systems account for an increasing proportion, with nearly 40% of new car owners having the need to install car DVD navigation. Therefore, various DVD navigation products from production and OEM have emerged in large numbers, and the quality differences of these products are beyond imagination. So it's essential to find a reputable 4S shop and have professionals install it. 2. Risks of self-installation: Self-installation is relatively troublesome, and if not done properly, it may pose safety hazards, with severe cases potentially causing circuit short circuits leading to fires. 3. Use a car charger: If it's just a USB for charging mobile phones, you can buy a car charger.
