Here are some common faults of the eighth-generation Civic: 1. Engine warning light on: The engine warning light keeps illuminating, which may be caused by signal errors due to aging of the engine control module. Solution: Have it repaired at a 4S shop. 2. Air conditioning not working: No air output, and the air conditioning compressor fails to start. The air conditioning system is not of great quality, and prolonged use may lead to aging of the air conditioning pressure switch. Solution: Replace with a new air conditioning system. 3. Abnormal gear shifting: Gear shifting impacts, sometimes stuck in one gear, and intermittent illumination of the engine warning light. This situation may be caused by dirty transmission oil. Solution: Conduct an inspection to eliminate the fault.

My eighth-generation Civic has been running for five years with quite a few common issues. The dashboard flickering during startup is a widespread problem, likely due to loose wiring connections or blown fuses—tightening a few screws by the mechanic usually fixes it. The door locks often jam and won't close properly, which is caused by aging lock actuators; replacing them made everything smooth again. The A/C cooling is inconsistent, sometimes blowing no air, possibly due to a faulty blower motor or refrigerant leaks—I top it up every season. The suspension creaks on rough roads, probably from worn shock absorbers, making the chassis feel loose. The battery doesn’t last long, needing replacement every two years, so I keep a portable charger for long trips. These minor fixes are affordable and don’t affect daily commuting.

How Many Points Are Deducted for Running a Yellow Light?

The penalty for running a yellow light is: a deduction of six points and a warning or fine. The party concerned shall pay the fine at the designated bank within fifteen days from the date of receiving the administrative penalty decision for the fine. Failure to pay the fine on time will result in an additional fine of three percent of the fine amount per day. Determination of Running a Yellow Light: Before the yellow light, vehicles should slow down. Vehicles that accelerate are suspected of rushing the yellow light. If any part of the vehicle has crossed the stop line when the yellow light is on, the vehicle may continue to pass and will not be considered as running a yellow light. If the vehicle has not crossed the stop line and continues to drive, it will be deemed as running a yellow light. Legal Basis: According to Article 38 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, when the green light is on, vehicles are allowed to pass, but turning vehicles must not hinder the passage of released straight-going vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass. For motor vehicles slowing down at an intersection when the yellow light is on, those that have crossed the stop line may continue to drive, while those that have not crossed the stop line should stop. Running a yellow light is considered a violation of road traffic signal rules, and the new regulations impose the same penalties for running a yellow light as for running a red light.

Can Motorcycles Use Motor Vehicle Lanes?

Motorcycles can use motor vehicle lanes as they are classified as motor vehicles. Typically, motorcycles should ride in the rightmost motor vehicle lane to enhance safety and avoid traffic congestion. When riding a motorcycle, it is essential to wear a helmet and preferably professional riding gear or protective equipment to improve safety. Motorcycles are two or three-wheeled vehicles powered by gasoline engines and steered by handlebars. They are lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transport, and also as sports equipment. Broadly speaking, motorcycles can be categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, and touring bikes, among others. According to road conditions and traffic needs, roads are divided into motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes, and pedestrian walkways, with motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians traveling in their respective lanes. On roads without designated lanes, motor vehicles should travel in the middle, while non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should stay on the sides.
