I'm a working professional in Lanzhou with several years of driving experience. It's crucial to memorize the 2020 traffic restriction rules. From Monday to Friday, restrictions apply based on the last digit of your license plate: Monday for 1 and 6, Tuesday for 2 and 7, Wednesday for 3 and 8, Thursday for 4 and 9, and Friday for 5 and 0. Weekends are unrestricted. The restriction hours are from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM and from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM, mainly in busy areas like Chengguan District and Qilihe District. I recommend checking traffic restriction apps or listening to traffic radio beforehand to avoid being late and fined. Violations incur a 200-yuan fine and 3 penalty points, which isn't worth it. The restrictions aim to reduce traffic congestion and pollution, and they do help somewhat. However, on rainy days or holidays, timing your trips carefully is essential. New energy vehicles are exempt, leading many to switch to electric cars for cost and convenience. Always have a backup plan, like carpooling or taking the subway—safety first. Overall, the policy hasn't changed much, focusing on making urban travel more convenient.

As a taxi driver in Lanzhou in 2020, I strictly followed the daily traffic restrictions. On weekdays, there were morning and evening rush hour restrictions based on a rotating license plate system: Monday for plates ending with 1 and 6, Tuesday 2 and 7, Wednesday 3 and 8, Thursday 4 and 9, and Friday 5 and 0. All restrictions were lifted on weekends. The restricted hours were from 7:30 to 9:00 in the morning and 17:00 to 19:30 in the evening, mainly covering main roads in urban areas like Chengguan and Qilihe. I advised passengers to travel during off-peak hours and use navigation apps for real-time updates. Violations resulted in a 200-yuan fine and 3 penalty points, which could hurt business. The outer ring roads were unrestricted, so detouring was an option. New energy vehicles had full access, making it easier to pick up more passengers. The benefit was reduced congestion, easing the pressure on taxi operations. We often exchanged tips in WeChat groups to avoid trouble. Following the rules was the safest approach—risking fines by entering restricted zones wasn't worth it. The city's policy was straightforward and practical, with no major changes in 2020.

As a young office worker in 2020 Lanzhou, checking traffic restrictions is easy with your phone. Just download the Lanzhou Traffic Police APP or use the WeChat mini-program to see the restricted tail numbers and areas for the day. The rules are simple: Monday to Friday correspond to specific tail number restrictions (e.g., Monday restricts 1 and 6), while weekends are free. The restricted hours are from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM and from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM. The core restricted area is around Chengguan District—just avoid it. I recommend biking or taking the subway for commuting—it's fast and convenient. Violations cost a 200-yuan fine and 3 penalty points, which isn’t worth it. From an eco-friendly perspective, traffic restrictions reduce congestion and pollution, while new energy vehicles are exempt, making things easier. Remember, restrictions are lifted on holidays, so travel freely. The policy hasn’t changed much, so it’s easy to handle.

Do you need a driver's license to buy a car in full payment?

You don't need a driver's license to buy a car in full payment. To purchase a car, you only need an ID card, bank card, household registration book, residence certificate, income certificate, work certificate, marriage certificate, spouse's ID card, etc. Choosing a brand: For most people, choosing a suitable brand is crucial. For example, some prefer Japanese cars, some like German cars, some favor domestic cars, while others may prefer less popular Korean or French cars. Each car series has its unique highlights, so it's important to find the car brand you like the most. Choosing a model: Car models can be divided into sedans, SUVs, MPVs, crossover vehicles, hatchbacks, etc. You need to choose the most suitable model based on your personal needs and preferences. For instance, a compact and agile hatchback is ideal for personal commuting, while a spacious SUV is better for family users, and an MPV (often called a "dad car") is suitable for families with two children. Choosing a price range: Cars are consumables, so it's essential to choose a model within your financial means when selecting a car. Additionally, purchasing a car often involves paying purchase tax, vehicle and vessel tax, insurance, and license plate fees. Therefore, it's crucial to consider the total cost of the car to avoid budget shortfalls.

What Are the Brands of Brake Pads?

Brake pad brands include Bosch, Jurid, Ferodo, Safeway, TMD, Akebono, Wagner, Gold Phoenix, ACDelco, Sumitomo, etc. Classification of brake pads: Asbestos brake pads, semi-metallic brake pads, low-metallic brake pads, NAO formula brake pads, ceramic brake pads, NAO ceramic brake pads. Advantages and disadvantages of brake pads: In traditional brake pads, metal is the main material that generates friction, providing strong braking force but with significant wear and a tendency to produce noise. After installing ceramic brake pads, no abnormal squealing (clicking sounds) occurs during normal driving. Since ceramic brake pads do not contain metal components, they avoid the metal screeching noise caused by the friction between traditional metal brake pads and their counterparts. Friction coefficient of brake pads: Ordinary brake pads have immature friction materials, and a friction coefficient that is too high can lead to unsafe factors such as loss of control during braking, pad burning, and scratching of the brake disc. Even when the brake disc temperature reaches as high as 650 degrees, the friction coefficient of ceramic brake pads remains around 0.45-0.55, ensuring the vehicle maintains good braking performance.

Why Has the Car's Noise Increased?

The reasons for increased car noise are as follows: Engine Overheating: Engine overheating can cause a loss of power. If the engine operates for an extended period, leading to surface overheating, the cooling system may fail. The first step in this situation is to check the cooling system. If there is an issue with the cooling system, it could lead to exhaust blockage, as the vacuum tube might be broken. Internal Engine Problems: Internal engine issues, such as valve blockage, may not show obvious external symptoms while driving. However, if you notice a lack of power when accelerating, it could indicate an engine problem. This is because when the throttle is increased, the engine's RPM rises, but the speed does not increase, suggesting internal engine issues. Fuel Quality Issues: If the engine makes a "popping" sound, it is recommended to change the engine oil. Another unpleasant engine noise is most likely due to the engine being too hot or too cold, or it could be caused by insufficient oil. Cylinder Valve Problems: If the engine produces a sound similar to a tapping noise, it is mostly due to cylinder valve issues. During operation, if the engine emits a dull tapping sound, it could indicate a problem with the cylinder valves.

How Long Can You Drive with Low Brake Fluid?

It is recommended not to continue driving when the brake fluid is low, as insufficient brake fluid can lead to brake failure. Below are detailed explanations of why you should not continue driving and important usage precautions: Reasons to avoid continued driving: Brake fluid transmits the driver's braking force to the vehicle's brakes. The quality and proper use of brake fluid directly affect the braking performance and driving safety. When the brake fluid is insufficient, you must not continue driving, as air can enter the brake lines or wheel cylinders. Since air is compressible, it can cause insufficient pressure in the wheel cylinders, resulting in inadequate or failed braking. Brake fluid usage precautions: If gasoline, diesel, or windshield washer fluid mixes with the brake fluid, it can severely impair braking performance, and the fluid should be replaced immediately. Under normal driving conditions, brake fluid should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers or after two years of continuous use, as prolonged use can cause the fluid to deteriorate. Vehicles equipped with a brake fluid level warning system should have the warning light monitored regularly to ensure the sensor is functioning properly. When the brake fluid is low, it should be replenished promptly. The stored brake fluid level should always be maintained between the minimum and maximum capacity marks.

Can You Shift Directly from Fifth Gear to First Gear in a Manual Transmission?

It is possible to shift directly from fifth gear down to first gear, but in most cases, many drivers do not adopt this practice. In such a scenario, it is necessary to apply the brakes. Failing to do so can subject the transmission and engine to significant shock. Additionally, the vehicle's speed will drop sharply, and the high speed will cause the engine's RPM to surge abruptly. Principles of Downshifting: The general rule for operating the transmission is: upshifting should be done sequentially, while downshifting can be performed by skipping gears. Shift from a higher gear to a lower gear that can maintain appropriate torque based on the current speed. Scenarios for Skipping Gears When Downshifting: One is naturally downshifting when the speed decreases to a certain extent, and the other is forced downshifting, also known as "grabbing a gear." Generally, you should first use the brakes to reduce the speed to a level suitable for the lower gear before downshifting; otherwise, it can cause significant damage to the transmission.

What engine does the new Santana use?

The engine of the new Santana is developed by the Volkswagen Group and produced by FAW-Volkswagen Engine (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. The engine model of the new Santana is EA211, with a maximum power of 82kw, a maximum torque of 145 Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 112. For daily maintenance of the new Santana's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected according to the additional devices of the intake and exhaust system and the usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to the mechanical load, and the selection standard should not be lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance will deteriorate, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, the oil should be changed regularly according to the usage conditions, and the oil quantity should be moderate; When the oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing the oil to pass through the bypass valve and still bring dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides in the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston ring and the cylinder wall, mixing with metal powder generated by part wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it suspends in the oil; when the amount is large, it precipitates from the oil, blocking the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and the engine.
