Will running a red light be captured in county towns?

As long as a traffic intersection is equipped with surveillance cameras, vehicles running red lights will be photographed. Nowadays, many intersections are installed with red-light monitoring devices, regardless of whether it's a county town or a city. Criteria for determining a red-light violation: Electronic eyes capture three photos as evidence for running a red light: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels passing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered a red-light violation. How to avoid running a red light while driving: Follow arrow signals when available; otherwise, observe the circular signal; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the green light just starts flashing, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as braking might not stop you in time to avoid crossing the stop line; if you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line at an intersection.

Is it necessary to renew compulsory traffic insurance in advance for an early vehicle inspection?

Early annual inspection does not require renewing insurance in advance, but the compulsory traffic insurance must be valid at the time of inspection. Vehicles must have compulsory traffic insurance: Without compulsory traffic insurance, vehicles cannot be properly registered. Driving without it may result in penalty points and cause significant trouble for the owner. Choose a qualified insurance company: When applying for insurance, fill out the policy truthfully and provide copies of the vehicle license and driver's license to avoid issues during future claims. When signing the compulsory traffic insurance contract, the insurance company must not force the policyholder to enter into a commercial insurance contract or impose additional conditions. Owners should be aware of this when purchasing compulsory traffic insurance to avoid incurring extra fees.

What is the difference between electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles?

The biggest structural difference between the two is whether they are equipped with an engine. Here is an expanded overview of the differences between electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles: 1. Pure Electric Vehicles: They have only one power system, which is entirely powered by rechargeable batteries. The motor, electronic control, and battery are the three core components of pure electric vehicles. In contrast, hybrid vehicles are equipped not only with an electric motor and battery but also with an engine, where the electric motor serves as an auxiliary power source to assist the engine in driving the vehicle. 2. Hybrid Vehicles: They do not require charging, whereas pure electric vehicles must be charged. Hybrid vehicles can continue driving solely on the power output of the engine or by generating electricity from the engine, eliminating the issue of being unable to drive in areas where charging is inconvenient. This overcomes the dependency of pure electric vehicles on charging infrastructure.

What are the dimensions of a reverse parking garage?

The standard dimensions for a reverse parking garage are as follows: For small cars, the garage length is 5.25 meters and the width is 2.3 meters. For large vehicles, the dimensions are 15.9 meters in length and 6.83 meters in width. The evaluation criteria for reverse parking are: failure to follow the prescribed route or sequence results in disqualification; the vehicle body crossing the line results in disqualification; failure to fully enter the garage results in disqualification; stopping midway results in disqualification; exceeding 4 minutes results in disqualification. Reverse parking rhyme: Reversing in and out isn't hard, fasten your belt, shift gears, and flash the left light. Press the clutch and release the handbrake, slowly lift the clutch to start gently. Align the body with the right line, the left mirror's vertical seam follows the right line. Stop when the front line aligns with your shoulder, engage reverse gear and release the clutch. When the left mirror covers the corner of the horizontal line, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Watch the left mirror for the garage line, turn back one circle at a 30-degree angle, when the car aligns with the line, straighten the wheel with two full turns. When the left mirror covers the front corner of the garage, press the clutch and brake. Engage first gear to exit, turn the wheel fully left when the car's front touches the line. Stop when the car's front covers the line, keep the wheel steady and reverse. Watch the right mirror for the garage line, turn back one circle at a 30-degree angle, when the car aligns with the line, straighten the wheel with two full turns, when the left mirror covers the front corner of the garage, press the clutch and brake. Engage first gear to exit, turn the wheel fully right when the car's front touches the line. Stop when the car's front covers the line, adjust the body's position skillfully. New garages have no poles to reference, only ground markings. The garage length is much shorter, just enough to fit a car completely. The process involves reversing in from the right, driving out and turning left, then reversing back in, and finally driving out to return to the starting point. This process is much simpler, omitting the current test's step of moving the car within the garage.
