When the center line of the road becomes dashed near the intersection or there is a U-turn passage in the central barrier, a U-turn is allowed at a red light. Below is relevant information about U-turns: 1. Regulations: Motor vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or sections prone to danger. Motor vehicles can make U-turns at locations without no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, but must not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. 2. Considerations: At any intersection, if there are dedicated U-turn signals or ground markings, always follow their instructions, which are usually located in the leftmost lane. Generally, as long as there are no no U-turn signs or separate U-turn signals, motor vehicles can make U-turns at any time without affecting normal traffic flow and ensuring safety. Typically, the central barrier on regular roads will change from a solid line to a dashed line near intersections, allowing vehicles to make U-turns in this area.

Should the vehicle on the right have the right of way at a T-intersection?

When there is no traffic command or traffic lights, if your vehicle arrives at the intersection and finds a vehicle approaching from the right, you should yield to the vehicle from the right. Here are the specific details: When there is no vehicle from the right: If your vehicle arrives at the intersection and does not see any vehicle approaching from the right, you should proceed straight as usual. If you suddenly notice a high-speed vehicle approaching from the right after crossing the center line and a collision occurs because you cannot avoid it in time, and if your vehicle also has violations, the responsibility should be shared based on the proportion of fault; both parties may bear equal responsibility or primary and secondary responsibility. When there is a vehicle from the right: If your vehicle arrives at the intersection and does not yield to the vehicle from the right, resulting in a collision, and the other vehicle has violations, the responsibility should be shared based on the proportion of fault; it may be equal responsibility or primary and secondary responsibility.

Differences Between Green and Yellow License Plates for Motorcycles

Driver's license difference: Yellow-plated motorcycles require an E-class license, while blue-plated motorcycles require an F-class license.

There are two classification methods for motorcycles: one is based on displacement and maximum design speed, dividing them into mopeds and motorcycles. Mopeds have an engine displacement not exceeding 50 milliliters and a maximum design speed of no more than 50 km/h, while motorcycles refer to two or three-wheeled vehicles with an engine displacement exceeding 50 milliliters and a maximum design speed over 50 km/h. The other classification is based on the number and position of wheels, dividing them into two-wheelers, sidecars, and three-wheelers.

Why is a small car violation recorded as a medium-sized vehicle?

Possible reason: The vehicle length exceeds 6 meters. Here are the details: Reason: Small cars are defined as those with 7 seats or fewer and a length under 6 meters, while medium-sized buses are those with 8 to 19 seats and a length also under 6 meters. Any bus exceeding 6 meters in length, regardless of passenger capacity, is classified as a large bus. Applying for administrative reconsideration: If a small car violation should have been recorded with penalties applicable to small cars but was mistakenly recorded otherwise, the driver can apply for administrative reconsideration to overturn the penalty. If a motor vehicle driver disagrees with the penalty for a traffic violation and applies for administrative reconsideration or files an administrative lawsuit, and the original penalty decision is legally altered or revoked, the corresponding penalty points will also be adjusted or revoked.

What is the Difference Between Wheel Hub and Rim?

Wheel hub (also known as the rim) is the central part of the wheel where the axle is installed. Below are the detailed explanations: Function: It is a crucial component that connects the brake drum (or brake disc), wheel disc, and axle. It is mounted on the axle tube or steering knuckle journal with bearings. The wheel hub (HUB) is a vital part of the wheel center for axle installation, primarily used to connect the brake drum, wheel disc, and axle. Introduction: Spoke wheels: In spoke wheels, the hub and spokes are cast as one piece, offering higher strength, mainly used in heavy-duty vehicles. Wheel hub bearing: The wheel hub contains a wheel hub bearing, which can be lubricated with a small amount of grease, but excessive grease can increase resistance or even cause overflow. Wheel hub bolt: Also called a tire bolt, it is used to connect the wheel hub, wheel disc, and brake drum (or brake disc). In trucks, to prevent nuts from loosening during rotation, the left wheel's tire bolts use left-hand threads and are marked with text or grooves for distinction. These tire bolts and nuts cannot be used interchangeably. For passenger cars, due to their lighter weight, the tire bolts and nuts generally do not loosen on their own, so they can be used interchangeably on both sides.
