When the car is in motion, as long as the gear is not in positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or R, it is considered neutral coasting. Relevant details are as follows: Neutral coasting refers to the operation method where the driver shifts the gear lever to the neutral position while the vehicle is moving, disengaging the clutch between the engine and the drive wheels, and relying on the vehicle's inertia to move. Neutral coasting must be performed under conditions that ensure safety and normal vehicle technical conditions. Engine-off coasting is prohibited, especially when descending steep or long slopes, where neither engine-off nor neutral coasting is allowed. Impact: If the gear is shifted to neutral while driving and emergency braking is applied, the chassis transmission system is not connected to the engine, resulting in the absence of engine braking assistance. This can lead to poor braking performance (especially for overloaded vehicles), causing the vehicle to lose balance and slide sideways, ultimately leading to accidents due to loss of control. Moreover, the harder and faster the braking, the worse the braking force becomes, exacerbating the sliding effect.

What Causes Slow Tire Leakage?

Here are the main reasons for slow tire leakage and their solutions: 1. Leaky valve core: Pour water on the tire and observe if bubbles form. If bubbles appear, slightly loosen the dust cap without pressing against the valve core. 2. Pinholes in the tire: Inflate the tire fully and use a soft brush with soapy water to clean the pinholes. 3. Foreign objects puncturing the tire: Punctures from foreign objects are the most common tire damage. Common objects that can puncture tires include nails, screws, wires, glass shards, sharp stones, and tile fragments. Among these, nails and screws are most likely to penetrate the tire, causing slow leaks and remaining lodged in the puncture. If not removed promptly, they can worsen the damage. 4. Damage to the tire sidewall or inner edge: The sidewall and inner edge of the tire are also vulnerable areas. If the sidewall frequently rubs against curbs, it can wear down over time, leading to slow leaks and a high risk of blowouts.

How to Judge the Distance of the Rear Vehicle in the Rearview Mirror?

Methods to judge the distance of the rear vehicle in the rearview mirror are as follows: 1. If the rear vehicle is within the safe zone of the rearview mirror and positioned on the right side, the distance is relatively large, and you can turn. 2. If the rear vehicle is within the entire zone and positioned on the right side, the distance is relatively far, and you can turn. 3. If the rear vehicle's body is close to the boundary between the safe zone and the danger zone, the distance is about 5 meters, and you can turn. If the rear vehicle's body has entered the left danger zone of the left rearview mirror, the distance is very close, and you should not turn. 4. When the rear vehicle occupies 1/4 of the right rearview mirror and the entire vehicle can be seen, the distance is about 25 meters, and you can turn. When the rear vehicle occupies 1/3 of the right rearview mirror, the distance is about 15 meters, and you can perform a turning operation. 5. When the rear vehicle occupies half of the right rearview mirror and the entire vehicle can be seen, the distance is about 10 meters, and you can signal and turn. When the rear vehicle occupies half of the right rearview mirror but only half of the vehicle body can be seen, the distance is very close, and you should not turn. 6. When the front wheels of the rear vehicle can be seen in the rearview mirror, the distance is about 15-20 meters; when the grille of the rear vehicle can be seen, the distance is about 6-8 meters; when the grille cannot be seen, the distance is about 3 meters.

Can I Pick Up My Car on Saturday or Sunday?

Of course you can, but you won't be able to register the license plate because the DMV is closed. The most important thing when picking up a car is the inspection. First, check the production date of the vehicle, then mainly inspect the paintwork of the car body, especially the four corners. Check all the lights and onboard electronics, the cooling effect of the air conditioning, the noise and vibration of the engine, the four tires, and whether the spare parts in the trunk are complete. The odometer reading should not exceed 30. Only if all these pass can you proceed with payment. After payment, you need to obtain the purchase invoice, then purchase insurance to get the compulsory insurance and commercial insurance policies. You also need to collect all the vehicle's accompanying documents, including the maintenance manual, warranty manual, user manual, vehicle certificate of conformity, vehicle conformity certificate, service manual, etc. Additionally, there should be two keys.
