According to the relevant provisions in the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," the following penalties apply for driving without wearing a seat belt: 1. When driving on urban expressways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, a fine of 50 yuan and 2 demerit points will be imposed. 2. When driving on roads other than highways or urban expressways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, a fine of 50 yuan will be imposed without demerit points. 3. Urban expressways refer to urban roads with a central divider, four or more lanes, and full or partial interchanges and controlled access, designed for higher-speed vehicle travel. If passengers fail to use seat belts as required while the vehicle is in motion, a fine of 5 yuan will be imposed. 4. When driving on highways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, a fine of 50 yuan and 2 demerit points will be imposed. 5. When traveling on highways, if passengers fail to wear seat belts as required, a fine of 20 yuan will be imposed. 6. When driving on urban roads with a speed limit below 50 km/h, if passengers fail to use seat belts as required and correct the behavior immediately after being pointed out, an oral warning will be issued.

Does a car inspected in 2020 need inspection again in 2021?

If the vehicle was inspected in 2020 but before the new inspection regulations were issued, it still needs to be inspected before the validity period of the 2021 inspection expires. Below is relevant information about vehicle inspections: 1. Conditions: Vehicles whose condition does not match the records in the driving license or archives, vehicles with damaged, incomplete, or illegible license plates or driving licenses, or vehicles with self-made license plates. 2. Notes: The exterior of the vehicle cannot be modified. The color of the glass sunshade or anti-explosion film cannot be too dark (items inside the vehicle should be visible from one meter away; mainly applies to vans and trucks, but not to small cars with fewer than 5 seats). Vans and trucks must have enlarged rear license plate numbers, and the number of spring leaf plates cannot be increased or decreased. The number of seats in vans cannot be more or less than specified, and a fire extinguisher must be present. The cargo compartment of a box truck cannot be modified (no side doors, no roof openings, no tailgates can be added). The size of the tires cannot be altered, and the tread patterns of tires on the same axle must be consistent. Vehicles with unresolved traffic violations or vehicles sealed by the court cannot undergo annual inspection.

What are the hazards of a car lacking antifreeze?

If a car lacks antifreeze, the engine temperature will become too high, which can easily cause engine damage. The proper functioning of the vehicle's cooling system is essential to ensure the normal operation of the engine. Any faults related to the antifreeze system should not be overlooked. Functions of antifreeze: Antifreeze has five main functions: cooling, antifreezing, anticorrosion, lubrication, and cleaning. Among these, the primary roles are antifreezing and cooling, maintaining the engine at a normal working temperature and preventing freezing in extremely cold weather. Precautions for adding antifreeze: Do not mix antifreeze of different colors and specifications. When using antifreeze from different brands, try to completely drain the original antifreeze from the cooling system. Regardless of high or low temperatures, antifreeze should be used for the efficiency and longevity of the cooling system. When adding antifreeze to the car's radiator, pay attention to the scale marks—there are minimum and maximum levels, and it is usually best to fill it to the middle level, not completely full. The frequency of adding antifreeze depends on your driving habits, but generally, it should be added every 20,000 kilometers.

Does a Car Bug Screen Affect Heat Dissipation?

Car bug screens generally affect heat dissipation. They prevent willow catkins from clogging the radiator fins and protect against insects when driving at high speeds. Many car owners may not install bug screens, but those who frequently drive on highways might consider using them. Since car bug screens are made of very fine mesh, their installation will inevitably reduce the radiator's ability to cool through airflow, leading to decreased heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator. Here’s an introduction to installing a bug screen in front of the car radiator: to prevent excessive debris buildup on the screen, which could affect radiator cooling—if a bug screen is not installed, car owners should still regularly clean the engine compartment, especially the condenser and radiator. Normally, the radiator can cool through high-speed airflow generated while driving, but with the bug screen in place, this airflow is weakened. Installed on the exterior of the radiator at the front grille frame, the bug screen primarily serves to block leaves, insects, gravel, and other debris from hitting the radiator through gaps in the bumper, protecting the radiator from damage and keeping it clean.

Can Shenzhen's hybrid vehicle quota be used for pure electric vehicles?

Yes, although the hybrid vehicle quota cannot be changed to a pure electric vehicle quota, the nature of the quota cannot be altered. However, a hybrid vehicle quota can be used to purchase a pure electric vehicle. If you need to apply for a pure electric vehicle quota, you must wait until the hybrid vehicle quota expires before submitting the application for a pure electric vehicle quota. The difference between plug-in hybrid and pure electric vehicles: Pure electric: Currently, pure electric vehicles generally use ternary lithium batteries, which have the advantages of high energy density and good cycling performance, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Ternary lithium batteries mainly include nickel-cobalt lithium batteries, nickel-cobalt-manganese lithium batteries, etc., and cobalt and nickel are relatively scarce in China and have limited global reserves. Moreover, pure electric vehicles have high safety requirements, and most of the core technologies are held by countries such as Japan, South Korea, Germany, and France, with very few patents in China. The cost of intellectual property patents is extremely high, leading to higher manufacturing costs for electric vehicles. Additionally, in the event of a collision, they are prone to self-ignition when temperatures exceed 200 degrees Celsius. Plug-in hybrid: Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are a new type of hybrid electric vehicle. The driving principle and driving unit of plug-in hybrids are the same as those of electric vehicles, with the only difference being that they are equipped with an engine. Plug-in hybrids can operate in pure electric mode or in hybrid mode where the engine and drive motor work together.

Is Insurance Valid for a Car Without License Plates?

Insurance is not valid for a car without license plates. If the vehicle is involved in an accident without displaying license plates, the insurance company will not be responsible for compensation. It is necessary to obtain temporary license plates in advance. In the event of an insurance claim, the insurance company will be responsible for compensation. Temporary license plates do not support theft insurance. Theft insurance is not valid. Additional information about car insurance is as follows: Specific situations of accidents involving new cars without license plates: For accidents involving new cars without license plates, insurance companies usually consider that motor vehicles should obtain license plates in accordance with legal requirements before being driven on the road. If the insured vehicle is involved in an accident without displaying license plates, the insurance company will not be responsible for compensation. To avoid claim rejection, temporary license plates should be obtained in advance before purchasing insurance. In the event of an insurance claim, the insurance company will be responsible for compensation. Before obtaining license plates for a new car, it is essential to protect the car to prevent theft or collision. "Theft insurance" is the full name of "motor vehicle theft insurance," and its insurance liability covers the loss of the entire vehicle due to theft, robbery, or hijacking, as well as reasonable repair costs for damages or missing parts and accessories during the theft, robbery, or hijacking period. In car insurance, only "theft insurance" requires the car to have official license plates for claims, while other types of insurance do not have this requirement for official license plates when processing claims. If a car with "temporary license plates" is lost during the usage period, even if "theft insurance" has been purchased, the insurance company will not compensate. Functions of car insurance: Organizing economic compensation and realizing the payment of insurance benefits are the basic functions of insurance, and they are also the basic functions of motor vehicle insurance. The probability of motor vehicles suffering from natural disaster risks and accidental accidents during use is relatively high, especially in third-party liability accidents, where the loss compensation is difficult to achieve through self-compensation.

Do you need to stop when turning right at a red light inside a roundabout?

You need to stop when turning right at a red light inside a roundabout. Below are the specific instructions for correctly navigating a roundabout: Method for vehicles entering: When approaching a roundabout, vehicles must slow down in advance and avoid passing through quickly. All vehicles entering the roundabout must travel counterclockwise and choose their correct route. Generally, a roundabout has two lanes. For turning right to the adjacent road, use the "shallow in, shallow out" method, which means turning on the right turn signal when entering and staying in the outer lane to exit the roundabout. For other exits, including U-turns, use the "deep in, shallow out" method, where vehicles directly enter the inner lane and then switch to the outer lane one exit before their intended exit, turning on the right turn signal. Use of turn signals when entering a roundabout: No left signal when entering, but always use the right signal when exiting. The best time to turn on the right turn signal is when passing the exit before the one you intend to take. Drivers should follow traffic rules: Vehicles entering the roundabout must yield to vehicles already inside the roundabout, adhering to the "yield when entering" rule. Avoid competing for space, as this can easily lead to accidents or traffic jams. While driving in the roundabout, overtaking is prohibited, as is traveling clockwise (against the flow) or stopping arbitrarily. When entering, watch for vehicles coming from the left. When switching from the inner to the outer lane or exiting the roundabout, also be mindful of vehicles from the right or those illegally cutting in from behind. If another vehicle forces its way in, yield to ensure safe driving.
