Hazards of a flooded car: 1. It can damage the electronic control system inside the car. The mixed rainwater is highly corrosive and can affect the electrical functions, especially future usage; 2. After the car is flooded, never attempt to start or turn the engine, as it may cause severe deformation of the engine connecting rod; 3. If the vehicle is submerged in water, it can easily lead to rusting of body components, shortening the lifespan and reducing safety performance. What to do with a flooded car: 1. Report to insurance. The first thing to do when encountering a flooded car is to report it to the insurance company. Even without flood insurance, you can still claim under the comprehensive car insurance (vehicle damage insurance); 2. For the repair of a flooded car, all replaceable parts should be replaced. Even then, rusting and aging are still likely to occur.

How to Clean a Car Engine?

After the engine has cooled down, cover the battery with plastic sheeting to prevent cleaning agents or water from damaging the electrodes during the cleaning process. The surface dust is most noticeable, and there is a significant amount of grease under the decorative cover. Only by removing it can the components underneath be cleaned. For areas with thick grease buildup, spray cleaning agent and scrub with a brush to quickly disperse the grease. Five minutes after applying the cleaning agent, wipe it off with a towel. For parts where the grease hasn't dispersed, repeat the cleaning process several times until they are satisfactorily clean.

What is the correct method for cleaning a car engine?

The correct method for cleaning a car engine is to use a dedicated cleaning agent followed by careful wiping with a damp towel to prevent circuit damage. Tools needed: cleaning agent, brush or used toothbrush, towel, and spray bottle. The main sources of contamination in a car engine compartment are dust and mud. If car owners want to clean the engine compartment themselves, they should prepare engine cleaner, a brush or used toothbrush, a towel, and a spray bottle. Using cleaning agent: The purpose of using a cleaning agent is to remove oil stains from the engine compartment. Therefore, when using it, the owner should focus on spraying the cleaning agent on various parts and then carefully scrub with a small brush. After the operation, the owner should rinse with clean water before air-drying to easily achieve the cleaning goal. Then use a damp towel: If the owner has sufficient time, they can choose to use a damp towel to clean the engine compartment. This method can effectively avoid water splashes from damaging related circuits during washing, so careful cleaning with a damp towel yields better results.

Which Light Should You Wait for When Making a U-Turn at an Intersection?

If there is a U-turn signal light and it is red, you must wait to make a U-turn; otherwise, it will be considered running a red light. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," this violation incurs: 6 penalty points and a fine of 200 yuan. If there is no U-turn signal light, and the gap is marked with a dashed line, the U-turn is not affected by traffic signals and does not require crossing the pedestrian crossing. If the gap is marked with a solid line, the U-turn must cross the pedestrian crossing and is subject to the left-turn signal. Making a direct U-turn may result in being photographed or penalized by on-site traffic police. When making a U-turn across a pedestrian crossing, you must yield to pedestrians: Pedestrians walking on the right side of the road's crosswalk, not reaching the centerline. Vehicles on the left side of the road should slow down and ensure safety before proceeding. Pedestrians waiting outside the boundary of the motorized and non-motorized lanes. If they have not entered the roadway, vehicles should slow down and proceed safely. If pedestrians cross the boundary between motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles failing to stop are in violation and will be penalized. Once pedestrians enter the motorized lane via the crosswalk, vehicles must slow down and proceed safely. Failing to stop is a violation and will be penalized. Pedestrians waiting at the centerline without entering the motorized lane—vehicles failing to stop are in violation and will be penalized. Pedestrians crossing the centerline into the motorized lane—vehicles failing to stop are in violation and will be penalized. If the road is divided by a green belt, and pedestrians wait in the middle area, vehicles must slow down and proceed safely. Permissible U-turn scenarios: Intersections with U-turn signs allow U-turns: If there is a clear U-turn sign, U-turns are permitted. If there is a U-turn signal, follow its instructions. Without a signal, make the U-turn safely without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs allow U-turns: If there are no prohibitive signs, U-turns are allowed. "No explicit prohibition" means no "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs, and no solid centerline. Yellow grid lines permit U-turns: Yellow grid lines indicate no-stopping zones at intersections prone to congestion. While stopping is prohibited, U-turns are allowed if there is no central barrier. Intersections with U-turn signals: Follow the signal—green means proceed. If "No Left Turn" and "U-turn Allowed" signs coexist: U-turns are permitted, but left turns are not. Note: "No U-turn" ≠ "No Left Turn." Key considerations when making a U-turn: Check road markings—solid lines prohibit U-turns under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable spot. If a "No Left Turn" sign is present, U-turns are also prohibited, as U-turns inherently involve left turns. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns from the second left-turn lane are prohibited. Always yield to oncoming traffic before making a U-turn to avoid accidents and liability. Lane arrows near intersections guide lane usage. Not all leftmost lanes have left-turn arrows—some may have straight arrows, prohibiting U-turns even without explicit signs.
