What are the main impacts of icy and snowy roads on safe driving?

Icy and snowy roads significantly reduce vehicle traction, making it easy for the drive wheels to slip or spin, especially when going uphill, starting, or stopping, where rear sliding may also occur. Sudden acceleration or deceleration while driving can easily cause side slipping and directional deviation. In emergency braking situations, the braking distance is greatly extended. Drivers must constantly pay attention to surrounding vehicles and pedestrians, as the actual road conditions are difficult to discern due to snow cover. At this time, judgment should be based on terrain and roadside markers, while appropriately controlling speed, firmly holding the steering wheel, and proceeding slowly along the center of the road or areas with shallower snow accumulation.

Can Someone Else Take Points Off My Driver's License?

Here is the introduction to whether someone else can take points off your driver's license: 1. Currently, points on a driver's license cannot be transferred to someone else. The person who commits the violation must have their own points deducted. Having someone else take the points is illegal. 2. The deduction of points from a driver's license is recorded. If you sell your points to someone else, the system will automatically assume that the license holder is the person responsible for the violation. 3. If the person who buys the points commits other illegal acts, such as hit-and-run, in addition to the traffic violation, the person who sold the points may bear corresponding legal liabilities. Additional information: Here is why you should not help others remove points from their license: 1. It is illegal. 2. There are restrictions on removing points from a driver's license. 3. If the driver's violation involves a traffic accident, they may bear corresponding legal liabilities. 4. Your available points will decrease. If you commit a violation yourself and don't have enough remaining points, you will have to retake the written test (Subject 1).

Why does the engine sound change after the vehicle wades through water?

It may be related to water entering the bearings of the engine belt and wheel bearings. The following is a related introduction about vehicle wading: 1. Introduction to vehicle wading: As the name suggests, vehicle wading refers to driving in low-lying areas or on roads with accumulated water, passing through water. This generally occurs in rainy weather, where inadequate drainage equipment leads to water accumulation in low-lying road sections. 2. Precautions for vehicle wading: Before wading, observe the road conditions carefully; maintain stable power while in the water; after wading, check the electrical system. If the car stalls in the water, the main reason is usually water entering the exhaust pipe, and in some cases, there may also be electrical damage. Once the car stalls, do not attempt to restart it, as this may cause water to enter the intake manifold and damage the valves, potentially leading to severe engine damage. Instead, the vehicle should be towed to a 4S shop immediately for professional handling.

Is the photo on the driver's license brought by oneself or provided?

The photo for the driver's license must be provided by the applicant. Specific requirements are as follows: 1. Photo requirements: A straight-edged, front-facing, bareheaded, color, single-person half-length ID photo taken within the last 6 months before applying for the driver's license. The background should be white; no uniforms should be worn; the portrait should be clear, with rich layers, natural expression, and no obvious distortion. 2. General requirements: A recent (within 6 months before applying for the driver's license or temporary driving permit) straight-edged, front-facing, bareheaded, color, single-person half-length ID photo, without uniforms. Those who require vision correction must wear glasses. The portrait should be clear, with rich layers, natural expression, no obvious distortion, white background, and dark-colored clothing.

Should the Semi-Clutch State Be Maintained Throughout Subject Two?

Subject Two does not require maintaining the semi-clutch state throughout. Here are the details: 1. Clutch: Pressing the clutch is the first lesson in driving practice and the most fundamental skill for obtaining a C1 driver's license. To pass Subject Two and Subject Three successfully, one must learn how to control the clutch. The clutch primarily controls the separation and combination of power. Pressing it down separates the power, while lifting it combines the power. Press the clutch quickly and release it slowly. When pressing the clutch, ensure it's fully depressed, and when lifting the clutch pedal, do so slowly; otherwise, the car may stall. 2. Note: When the vehicle is moving normally and the clutch is in a fully engaged state, avoid pressing it unnecessarily when not shifting gears. During Subject Three, refrain from pressing the clutch arbitrarily or resting your foot on it. Place your left foot on the empty space to the left of the clutch pedal. The vehicle's clutch should only be used when starting the car, shifting gears, and braking.

Which National Emission Standard Vehicles Have Three-Way Catalytic Converters?

Regardless of the national emission standard, all vehicles are equipped with three-way catalytic converters. This is because newly manufactured cars must now meet the Euro 3 emission standards, so they all have three-way catalytic converters. Here is some additional information: 1. Three-Way Catalytic Converter: The automotive three-way catalytic converter is the most important external purification device installed in the vehicle's exhaust system. It converts harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted from the vehicle's exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. Since this converter can simultaneously transform the three main harmful substances in the exhaust into harmless substances, it is called a three-way catalytic converter. 2. Working Principle: When high-temperature exhaust gases pass through the purification device, the purifying agents in the three-way catalytic converter enhance the activity of CO, HC, and NOx gases, promoting certain oxidation-reduction chemical reactions. CO oxidizes at high temperatures to form colorless, non-toxic carbon dioxide gas; HC compounds oxidize at high temperatures into water (H2O) and carbon dioxide; and NOx is reduced into nitrogen and oxygen. The three harmful gases are transformed into harmless gases, thereby purifying the vehicle's exhaust.

Can Cars Be Polished?

Car polishing is possible. Here is relevant information about car polishing: 1. Definition: Car polishing refers to the process in auto detailing where the vehicle undergoes polishing before waxing, glaze sealing or coating. This is because glaze sealing/coating requires prior polishing - only finely polished vehicles can achieve a mirror-like finish. 2. Development: The automotive polishing market shows substantial demand but somewhat insufficient supply, particularly from enterprises with core intellectual property rights and truly high-quality products. The industry overall lacks brand influence. During this period of strong demand, the sector exhibits enormous potential and promising development prospects. However, maintaining healthy, stable and sustainable industry growth requires collective efforts from businesses within the field. This especially necessitates meticulous R&D spirit to further improve production techniques, reduce costs, genuinely address customers' practical difficulties, strictly ensure quality control, and provide the most reliable products.
