Here is an introduction to the differences between imported and domestic tires: Imported tires are more prone to deformation than domestic ones: Imported tires are designed for foreign road conditions, which differ significantly from those in China. As a result, some imported tires may not perform well in China and are even more likely to develop bulges. Therefore, when foreign brands enter the Chinese market, they often modify the sidewall strength and tread patterns of their tires to better suit Chinese road conditions. Different cost-performance ratios: Domestic tires are not inferior in performance to imported ones. In fact, under specific road conditions, the sidewall thickness and tread drainage performance of domestic tires can be significantly superior to those of imported tires. Differences in tire thickness: Affordable Chinese domestic brand tires have the thickest sidewalls, while expensive European and American brand tires surprisingly have the thinnest sidewalls.

Can you change lanes on road markings with a combination of solid and dashed lines?

A road with a dashed line on one side and a solid line on the other means you cannot change lanes on the solid line side. Only the side with the dashed line can cross into the lane with the solid line, and the lane change must be completed within the dashed line segment. If you exceed the end of the dashed line, it counts as driving over the line, which is a traffic violation. Here is some additional information: 1. Longitudinal deceleration lines: These are commonly seen on overpasses, toll booths, etc. Longitudinal deceleration lines also consist of one dashed and one solid line or two similar dashed lines. As long as there is a solid line in the middle, you cannot cross or drive over it from either side. If there is a dashed line in the middle, then both lanes can change into each other. 2. Notes on changing lanes on dashed lines: During peak traffic hours, do not force a lane change, as this may disrupt the normal flow of traffic behind you and could result in points deducted or a fine. Even when traffic is smooth, you cannot change more than two lanes consecutively on a dashed line. Continuous lane changes are a violation and may result in a 3-point deduction and a fine.

Will the Transmission of a Flooded Car Get Water Inside?

When the water level reaches two specific positions, the transmission will get water inside: If the water level is more than two-thirds of the wheel height, the probability of the vehicle's transmission getting water inside is about 80% to 90%; if the water has already reached the dashboard level, the transmission is 100% flooded. Here are three practices for driving through water: 1. Turn off the air conditioning: When the air conditioning is on, the electronic fan at the front of the vehicle will rotate. During water wading, the rotating fan blades can stir up water, potentially causing water to enter the transmission. Therefore, it's advisable to turn off the air conditioning before wading and wait for the electronic fan to stop before entering the waterlogged area. 2. Pay attention to oncoming traffic: When wading through water, if there is oncoming traffic, be sure to observe the height of the water waves in front of the opposing vehicle. If the waves are too high, you should accelerate appropriately. The reason is that the waves generated by your vehicle can counteract those from the oncoming vehicle, reducing the impact. It's crucial not to panic or brake suddenly in such situations. 3. Turn off all electrical devices: Before wading, turn off all onboard electrical devices, such as the air conditioning and dash cams, to prevent water ingress that could lead to power failure or short circuits.

Do I Need to Retake Subject One When Upgrading from C2 to C1?

C2 to C1 license upgrade requires retaking all four subjects (Subject One to Subject Four) for the C1 vehicle type. You can directly apply for the C1 upgrade at the vehicle management office service hall with your C2 driver's license. Correctly fill out the driver application form, pay the relevant fees, and then obtain a driver's test skill form to schedule the specific exam dates with the staff. After passing all tests successfully, you will receive your C1 driver's license. C1 Driver's License Test: The test subjects include four items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving common sense. Passing Standards: Traffic Regulations and Related Knowledge (Subject One) – Written test, full score of 100, passing score is 90 or above. Field Driving (Subject Two) – On-site, actual vehicle. Minimum passing score is 80, below 80 is a fail. Road Driving (Subject Three) – Highway or simulated site, actual vehicle. Full score of 100, must achieve 90 or above to pass. Safe and Civilized Driving Common Sense – Written test, questions mainly in the form of cases, pictures, animations, etc., including true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions. Total of 50 questions, full score of 100, passing score is 90.

How Many Kilometers Can You Drive with a Quarter Tank of Fuel?

A quarter tank of fuel can typically last for about 200 kilometers. However, if the fuel level is too low, it may damage the fuel pump. The fuel pump is located at the bottom of the fuel tank and starts working as soon as the car is turned on. The heat generated by the fuel pump is cooled by the gasoline in the tank. If the fuel level is too low, the fuel pump becomes exposed, meaning it is not submerged in gasoline, which can cause it to overheat and eventually burn out. Therefore, it is advisable to maintain at least a quarter tank of fuel and refuel promptly when the level drops below this threshold. Below are some additional insights: 1. Choosing the Right Gasoline: The octane rating of gasoline indicates the proportion of iso-octane, which has good anti-knock properties. For example, 95-octane gasoline contains about 95% iso-octane and 5% n-heptane, which has poor anti-knock properties. Higher octane ratings indicate better anti-knock performance. It is recommended to follow the fuel grade specified in the vehicle's manual or the label inside the fuel tank cap. 2. Precautions: Many car owners tend to fill the fuel tank to the brim or until the pump automatically stops. However, this can be risky, especially in summer, as fuel expands due to thermal expansion and may overflow. Overfilling can also damage the carbon canister, as excess fuel may flow into it along with fuel vapors, causing malfunctions. A damaged carbon canister cannot filter fuel vapors effectively, allowing gasoline to enter the vehicle's interior, which is hazardous.

Is the OBD Fuel Saving King Effective?

obd fuel saving king is not effective. OBD fuel savers fundamentally cannot modify the core data of the vehicle's ECU. Reprogramming a car's ECU requires professional computer programs and experimental models to simulate the data. OBD fuel savers can only receive and send signals and data; they cannot decrypt the manufacturer's encrypted data and, in reality, offer no fuel-saving benefits. Below is an introduction to OBD fuel savers: It is a power fuel optimization device (based on the OBD protocol) that can adjust the car according to the driver's habits, remap the car's computer ECU, and self-adjust.
