Manual transmission cars, compared to automatic transmission cars, have advantages such as lower fuel consumption, better power performance, cheaper maintenance and repairs, and more driving pleasure. The following are specific explanations: Lower fuel consumption of manual transmission cars: Manual transmission cars are more fuel-efficient than automatic transmission cars because they have a simpler structure, resulting in higher transmission efficiency and better fuel economy. Good driving habits and conditions can save even more fuel. Rough statistics show that for the same model, manual transmission cars consume about 1 liter less fuel per 100 kilometers than automatic transmission cars. Better power performance of manual transmission cars: For the same car model, due to the simpler structure and higher transmission efficiency of manual transmission cars, they often accelerate faster than automatic transmission cars, especially during starts. This can be compared when waiting at traffic lights. Cheaper maintenance and repairs for manual transmission cars: Due to their simpler structure, manual transmission cars are much cheaper to maintain and repair compared to their automatic counterparts. Additionally, the internal structure of manual transmission cars is less complex, with fewer intricate wiring systems, resulting in a lower probability of malfunctions. More driving pleasure with manual transmission cars: For off-road enthusiasts, manual transmission SUVs are the preferred choice. Manual transmission cars provide a greater sense of control and operation, allowing drivers to showcase their driving skills.

Types of Vehicles Eligible for Inspection Exemption: Non-commercial sedans and other small, micro vehicles, and minivans (excluding vehicles with 7 seats or more) within six years. 3. Types of Vehicles Not Eligible for Inspection Exemption: Vehicles involved in accidents during this period, i.e., new vehicles within 6 years that have been involved in traffic accidents causing casualties, are not eligible for inspection exemption; vehicles not registered for a long time after purchase are not eligible for inspection exemption. For vehicles that have not completed registration procedures for more than 4 years since leaving the factory, they must still undergo on-site inspections as per the original regulations within 6 years and are not eligible for inspection exemption (still requiring inspection every 2 years within 6 years).

What are the rules for self-selecting license plate numbers on 12123?

The rules for self-selecting license plate numbers on 12123 are as follows: Users can directly compose a license plate number and then verify its availability. If the number is available, the system will immediately confirm it, concluding the selection process. If unavailable, the verification fails. Users have a total of 20 opportunities for failed verifications (note that operational rules may vary by region, with 20 being the minimum verification attempts). New number segments are added to the random number pool after 7 days, and then at random times to the self-selection pool, with these random timings not publicly disclosed. Below is more information about self-selecting license plate numbers: 1. Self-selection tips: Since the nationwide number selection system has eliminated all third-party selection methods, users can only choose between the window-based random 50-choose-1 method or pre-selecting a number on the 12123 internet platform. The internet pre-selection offers both self-composition and random methods. Therefore, if you wish to compose a personally meaningful or desired number, 12123 is your only option. 2. Important notes: When self-selecting a number online, input your pre-composed number for a search. If the number is unused, the system will automatically confirm it as your selected number, immediately ending the selection process and forfeiting any chance for internet random selection. Hence, exercise caution when self-selecting numbers online and avoid casually inputting numbers for searches.

Will smoking while driving be captured by electronic surveillance cameras?

Smoking while driving can be captured by electronic surveillance cameras because it affects driving safety, hence the cameras will record such behavior. For drivers who smoke while driving, there are 360-degree rotating cameras typically installed at intersections, usually appearing individually. These cameras are primarily responsible for capturing illegal parking and instances of drivers smoking while driving. Generally, these cameras are manually controlled with a monitoring range within 200 meters. Below is relevant information regarding penalties for smoking while driving: Penalties for smoking while driving: In fact, smoking while driving is indeed a violation. Whether captured by surveillance cameras or caught by traffic police, offenders will face penalties. Of course, the penalty method will vary depending on the situation. China's Traffic Safety Law clearly stipulates that any behavior that hinders safe driving should be penalized by traffic authorities. Notes on handling traffic violations: If a traffic violation results in an on-the-spot penalty decision issued by a traffic officer, the offender must bring their ID card, driver's license, vehicle registration, and the penalty notice to the local traffic division or brigade to process the violation. Such violations must be handled locally; they cannot be processed back in the offender's place of origin.

What Causes a Car Clutch to Not Return to Position?

Clutch not returning to position is mainly caused by air entering the clutch pipeline system or dirty clutch fluid with impurities. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmission, which can separate or engage the transmission system at any time. The following are detailed reasons for the clutch not returning to position: Air entering the clutch pipeline system: Air in the system causes excessive clutch travel and poor return. This type of fault can be self-diagnosed. If the first press of the clutch pedal feels without resistance and has excessive travel, and the pedal rises after repeated presses, it is mostly due to air entering the hydraulic system. In this case, the cause of the air entry should be identified as soon as possible, and the air in the hydraulic system should be expelled. Dirty clutch fluid with impurities: Impurities cause severe internal wear of the clutch master cylinder or blockage of the return oil hole, preventing the clutch from returning to position. You can open the engine hood to check if the fluid in the clutch fluid reservoir appears black or gray. If discolored, the clutch fluid should be replaced promptly.

Where is the stopping point for hill start?

Hill start stopping point requires parking at a fixed location on a slope with ≥10% gradient and ≥30 meters in length. Below are detailed explanations about hill start: Specific requirements for hill start: After hearing the command to start this test item, control the vehicle speed and approach the right roadside line. When the right front corner of the engine hood aligns with the roadside line at the 1/3 point, maintain the entire vehicle body at a distance of 1/3 from the roadside line. The purpose of positioning and parking detection is to assess the ability to predict the stopping point location. For example, when encountering a red light, pedestrians crossing the road, or hazardous situations requiring parking, the vehicle must stop accurately without violating traffic rules or causing danger. The test allows a certain margin of error: stopping early is permitted within half a parking space, and stopping late is allowed within half a meter; both scenarios are considered as passing. Precautions for hill start: Before performing a hill start, ensure the vehicle moves in an absolutely straight line. Before driving on the slope, maintain a distance of about 30 cm between the car and the yellow edge line. If any deviation is observed in the rearview mirror, adjust the steering wheel promptly. When parking, generally, once the lower edge of the left rearview mirror passes the white line, depress the clutch and brake pedals simultaneously, ensuring the vehicle continues to move in a straight line.
