In 2021, drivers who do not wear seat belts will be fined 50 yuan and have 2 points deducted from their license. Below is an extended introduction: 1. Legal regulations: Article 51 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' stipulates that when a motor vehicle is in motion, the driver and passengers must use seat belts as required. If a driver fails to wear a seat belt as required while driving on highways or urban expressways, 2 points will be deducted. A fine of 50 yuan will be imposed for not wearing a seat belt as required. 2. The role of seat belts: When a car collides or encounters an emergency brake, a huge inertial force will be generated, causing secondary collisions between the driver, passengers, and objects inside the car such as the steering wheel, windshield, and seat backs. This can easily lead to serious injuries to the occupants, or even eject them from their seats or out of the vehicle. Seat belts can restrain the occupants in their seats, preventing secondary collisions, and their cushioning effect can absorb a large amount of kinetic energy, reducing the severity of injuries to the occupants.

I remember the seatbelt fines in 2021 were quite strictly enforced. That time when I was driving a friend to catch the high-speed train, I forgot to buckle up right after leaving the neighborhood and got pulled over at an intersection. The traffic police issued a ticket—50 yuan fine plus 2 penalty points for urban roads, and the whole process wasted half a day. I heard that on highways, you’d get slapped with a 200-yuan fine and 2 points immediately. Once on the ring expressway, I saw a girl stomping her feet after getting fined. The money isn’t the main issue; it’s the hassle of reappointing to clear the penalty points that’s really annoying. Now I’ve developed muscle memory to pull the seatbelt before starting the car—after all, even getting caught by an in-car camera results in the same penalty. If you ever slam the brakes without wearing it, banging your head on the steering wheel hurts way more than any fine.

What are the precautions for driving a new car?

Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the load on the chassis and engine. It is best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. Avoid overloading: If a new car is operated at full load during the break-in period, it can cause damage to the components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers of driving, the load should generally not exceed 75-80% of the rated capacity. Avoid starting without warming up: A new car must be warmed up before starting. The so-called warm-up is actually giving the engine sufficient lubrication time, especially for turbocharged models, which must be warmed up before starting, and the lubrication time should be at least one minute. Although many vehicles no longer mention the term 'break-in period,' claiming that new cars undergo cold break-in and thus do not need it, the absence of the term does not mean that break-in is unnecessary. As a mechanical product, a car's various components and connection systems still require break-in. Although most brand vehicles now undergo extensive test drives, these are only small-scale tests and do not represent all new cars. During the break-in period, it is generally not recommended to drive too fast; try to keep the speed between 80-100 km/h.

Where is the central control module of the 11th generation Excelle?

Buick Excelle's central door control box is located next to the battery in the engine compartment, used to control the vehicle's door locks and anti-theft system. The central control box is used to centrally control external devices in the compartment, and works in conjunction with the set-top box to achieve centralized control of external devices such as amplifiers and call lights through the song selection interface. Introduction to car central control: The car central control is used to control comfort and entertainment equipment such as air conditioning and audio. The car central control includes the central control door lock system, allowing the driver to control the opening and closing of all doors and the window lift system. Functions of the central door lock system: The central door lock system mainly has three functions: central control, speed control, and individual control. The driver can control all door locks, and when the vehicle reaches a certain speed, the doors automatically lock.

What Causes the Sound of Sloshing Water When Braking in a Car?

Car braking with a sloshing water sound can be caused by: the sound of circulating water from the water pump, clogged door drainage holes, insufficient antifreeze, a leaking vacuum booster pump, or water ingress in the right side rail. The specific solutions are as follows: Sound of circulating water from the water pump: This is a normal phenomenon. Clogged door drainage holes: This is usually due to accumulated dust or foreign objects blocking the lower drainage holes of the door. The cleaning method involves manually clearing the lower drainage outlets of the door. If foreign objects like small cards or leaves cannot be removed from the outside, the door panel needs to be removed to clean out the debris. Insufficient antifreeze: Some car brands have a heater core inside the vehicle. When the antifreeze is low, a water flow sound may occur. Simply add antifreeze. Leaking vacuum booster pump: Replace the vacuum booster pump. Water ingress in the right side rail: Clear the drainage holes under the right side rail to solve the problem. Alternatively, remove the underbody panel and take out the material blocking the drainage hole.

How Long Does It Take to Fully Charge a New Energy Vehicle?

New energy vehicles take approximately 1.66 hours to fully charge. The calculation method for fast charging of electric vehicles is essentially the same as for slow charging. Taking an electric vehicle with a battery capacity of 100 kWh as an example, using a standard 60 kW charging station to charge the vehicle, the calculation is as follows: 100 kWh ÷ 60 kW = 1.66 hours. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that this electric vehicle with a 100 kWh battery capacity can be fully charged in 1.66 hours. However, fast charging typically takes only 30 minutes to 1 hour: Fast charging is an emergency charging method that uses DC charging. The voltage of this DC charging is generally higher than the battery voltage, requiring a rectifier to convert AC power to DC power, which imposes higher demands on the voltage resistance and protection of the power battery pack. The charging current is large, often ten times or even dozens of times that of conventional charging currents. After using fast charging, the battery can reach 80% capacity in 30 minutes to 1 hour. However, frequent use of fast charging can consume the battery to some extent, thereby reducing its lifespan. Note that the vehicle's charging power and battery capacity will directly affect the charging time.
