Does the red light camera take photos from the rear or the front?

The determination is made by capturing three photos with an electronic camera. The first photo shows the vehicle crossing the stop line at the intersection, including the red light signal and license plate number. The second photo shows the vehicle completely crossing the stop line, also including the red light signal and license plate number. The third photo shows the vehicle continuing to move, mainly by comparing the position change of the vehicle in the second photo, including the red light signal and license plate number. Capturing these three photos confirms the vehicle running a red light. Running a red light is clearly defined in the "Road Traffic Safety Law." Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to pass, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage. If a vehicle passes through an intersection during a red light, it constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. Here are some tips to avoid running a red light: First check the arrow light, then the circular light: Currently, there are two types of traffic lights: arrow traffic lights and circular traffic lights. When an arrow light is present, check the arrow light first, then the circular light to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, right turns are allowed. However, when encountering an arrow red light for right turns, right turns are prohibited; otherwise, it will be penalized as running a red light. Brake in time: When the red light turns on, ensure the front of the vehicle does not cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross, and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will capture it, resulting in a penalty for running a red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the light turns red, do not proceed through the intersection; wait for the green light. Check the green light countdown before proceeding: When the green light is flashing, if there is a countdown, use it to judge. If there is no countdown, and the vehicle is close to the intersection with high speed, it may proceed to avoid running a red light due to untimely braking. If the speed is low and the vehicle is far from the intersection, brake immediately to avoid running a red light. Article 38 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to pass, but turning vehicles must not hinder the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from passing. At intersections without non-motorized vehicle or pedestrian signals, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle signal. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may pass if they do not hinder the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not considered illegal in the following situations: Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles. If caught by surveillance cameras while yielding, manual review will not record the act as running a red light. Even if recorded, you can apply for reconsideration at the traffic police department. Extreme weather: When visibility is so low that even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights, the evidence photos may be blurry. In such cases, accidental red-light running will not be penalized. Emergency situations: When rushing a critically ill patient to the hospital, multiple red lights may be run, quickly exhausting the 12-point penalty limit. After delivering the patient, obtain proof from the hospital or the rescued individual and verify it with the traffic police. If confirmed, the violation records can be cleared. If possible, calling an ambulance is recommended to avoid accidents caused by running red lights. Police direction: During peak hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at key intersections. Drivers should follow the officers' hand signals. The traffic police department states that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," when the yellow light flashes at an intersection, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass. If the yellow light is already on and the driver still speeds through, it will be considered running a red light if captured.

How to Delete Records from a Dash Cam?

The memory card of a dash cam can be removed, and the recorded data can be read on a computer via a card reader for deletion. If the dash cam has a built-in memory card that cannot be removed but the device itself has a file management function, you can use the buttons to select and operate the file management to delete the records. Functions of a Dash Cam: A dash cam can record daily driving processes. The recorded videos can serve as evidence in case of accidents or disputes, and can also be used to counter fraudulent claims, avoiding unnecessary trouble and losses, thereby protecting the driver's interests and rights. Dash cams use loop recording, allowing users to set the duration of video segments, typically offering options like 1, 3, or 5 minutes per segment. When the memory card is nearly full, the dash cam will automatically delete the oldest videos to make space for new recordings, ensuring there is no storage shortage. A dash cam can also be used at home as a DV to capture life's fun moments or as a home surveillance device.

What do the letters on an automatic car's gear shift represent?

Automatic car gear shift letters represent: D gear is the drive gear, used when the car is moving forward; P gear is the parking gear, used when the vehicle is parked; R gear is the reverse gear, used when backing up or parking in reverse; N gear is the neutral gear, used during brief stops; S gear is the sport mode. Automatic transmission doesn't require the driver to manually shift gears - the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on speed and traffic conditions. The engine's power is transmitted through the transmission, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume over 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Regardless of whether it's manual or automatic, transmissions with more gears tend to be more fuel-efficient.

How Many Kilograms Does One Liter of Gasoline Equal?

How many kilograms one liter of gasoline equals depends on the density of the gasoline. One liter of 89-octane gasoline is approximately 1.44 kilograms, one liter of 93-octane gasoline is about 1.45 kilograms, and one liter of 95-octane gasoline is roughly 1.47 kilograms. Different grades of gasoline have varying densities, generally ranging from about 0.7 grams per milliliter to 0.75 grams per milliliter. Variations in temperature, octane rating, and formulation can all cause differences in gasoline density. As temperature rises, the volume of each liter of gasoline increases, causing the density to decrease. Conversely, when the temperature drops, the density of each liter of gasoline increases, and the volume decreases.
