When the rear car occupies 1/3 of the area in the right side mirror, the distance is approximately 15 meters. When the rear car occupies half of the right side mirror, the distance is about 10 meters. When the rear car occupies half of the right side mirror, this indicates the rear car is very close, and it is not advisable to perform turning maneuvers. Function of rearview mirrors: The rearview mirror is one of the important safety components of a motor vehicle's body, used to observe the road conditions behind the car during reversing and to monitor the surroundings while driving. For the convenience of the driver and to prevent traffic safety accidents, ensuring personal safety, all countries mandate that vehicles must be equipped with rearview mirrors, and all mirrors must be adjustable in direction. Classification of rearview mirrors: There are mainly two types of rearview mirrors in vehicles: one is a flat mirror, which, as the name suggests, has a flat surface, similar to typical household mirrors, providing an image the same size as seen by the naked eye. This type of flat mirror is commonly used as the interior rearview mirror. The other type is a convex mirror, which has a spherical surface with varying radii of curvature. Its image is smaller than what the naked eye sees but offers a wider field of view, functioning like a camera's "wide-angle lens." This type of convex mirror is commonly used as the exterior rearview mirror and the lower rearview mirror.

How deep can a car go through water?

It depends on the condition of the vehicle itself. The following are specific criteria for judgment: 1. Exhaust pipe height: Safe wading depth. The pressure generated by the engine exhaust is sufficient to expel water that might backflow into the exhaust pipe. As long as the engine doesn't stall and maintains sufficient and stable power, it can prevent water from backflowing into the exhaust pipe, allowing safe passage through water at this level. 2. Door sill height: May cause water ingress inside the car. Modern cars are equipped with numerous electronic components and sensors. While most cars have good waterproofing and won't leak unless submerged for extended periods, if the seals are aged, water might seep in. 3. Air intake height: Maximum wading depth. The height of the engine air intake is the most critical indicator for a vehicle's wading capability. If water enters the air intake, it can cause the engine to stall, and in severe cases, water can be sucked into the engine, leading to permanent damage. Therefore, driving is definitely not advisable if the water reaches this level.

Where to Place the Rear Camera of a Dash Cam?

The rear camera of a dash cam is typically placed on the top left or top right corner of the license plate, and some are installed directly above the license plate. Installing the rear camera of a dash cam requires concealing the wiring, which can be complicated for self-installation. Poorly arranged wires may affect aesthetics, so it is recommended to seek professional installation for peace of mind. The rear camera of a dash cam can record footage from behind the vehicle, providing solid video evidence to prevent fraud, determine liability in traffic accidents, and identify the cause of vehicle damage during parking. It also supports a rearview display function, assisting those who are less skilled at reversing. Dual cameras cover both the front and rear views of the vehicle, offering comprehensive protection for the owner and driving safety.

What to Do When the Rear Wheels Lock Up?

Solutions for locked rear wheels: Release the handbrake, and use the spare tire or simply kick the sidewall of the tire a few times to resolve the issue. The cause of rear wheel lock-up may be due to pulling the handbrake while washing the car, leading to water entering the rear wheels and causing the brake pads and brake drum to lock up. To avoid incorrect braking behaviors, including the ABS system activated during emergency braking, sensors on the tires send signals based on the angle of each vehicle's tires, quickly calculating the vehicle speed, wheel deceleration, and the probability of wheel slip. The ABS system automatically determines whether the tires are tending to lock up and then takes action, directly intervening in braking without requiring manual control. It releases the braking pressure on its own, allowing the nearly locked tires to return to normal operation, then reapplies braking pressure and releases it again, repeating this action continuously.
