Installing lowering springs on a car has the following advantages and disadvantages: 1. Advantages: The vehicle's ground clearance is reduced, significantly improving stability at high speeds. Lowering springs generally have a higher damping coefficient, which effectively suppresses body roll during cornering and lane changes, allowing for faster and more stable turns. 2. Disadvantages: After installing lowering springs, the ground clearance decreases by 3-4 cm, reducing the vehicle's ability to navigate obstacles. Extra caution is required when entering underground parking or going over speed bumps. The suspension becomes stiffer, reducing comfort, especially when driving over rough roads where the bumpiness is noticeably increased.

What to do if the windshield has a long crack?

Windshield cracks can be repaired, but only for some short cracks. For long cracks, it is recommended to replace the glass. The following is a related introduction about windshields: Introduction: The windshield was conceived by Ford in the 1920s, where two pieces of glass were sandwiched together with a layer of PVC plastic in between, creating a sandwich-like glass. This technology is still in use today. Handling when cracked: If the windshield shatters while driving, you must reduce your speed and move out of the lane as soon as possible. Stay calm, avoid sudden steering wheel movements, and do not overuse the brakes. The driver should promptly assess the traffic situation and apply appropriate pressure to the brake pedal to pull over to the side of the road. If you have a spare windshield, replacing it is the best option. If you must continue driving without a windshield, remove all shattered glass and close all windows tightly before driving. Do not increase your speed, as high internal pressure could cause the rear window glass to blow out.

What License is Required to Ride a Large-Displacement Motorcycle?

Large-displacement motorcycles require either an E-class or D-class license. In China, there are three types of motorcycle licenses: F, E, and D. The F-class license only permits riding lightweight motorcycles with engine displacements below 50CC. The E-class license allows riding any two-wheeled motorcycle, regardless of displacement. The D-class license permits riding all two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles. Therefore, with an E-class license, you can ride any two-wheeled motorcycle. Important Notes for Motorcycle License Tests: Before taking the test, the right index finger's fingerprint is recorded to prevent proxy test-taking. After completing the legal training, the test can be taken, with two attempts allowed. If the first attempt fails, a retest can be taken immediately. If both attempts fail, a retest fee (including two test opportunities) must be paid, and the candidate must wait for the driving school to schedule the next test. The test items for ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and lightweight motorcycles typically include pole tests, slope parking and starting, and single-plank bridge crossing, supervised by police and examiners. Training and testing for Subject 3 are completed together with Subject 2, without separate training or testing.

What does the red exclamation mark in a car mean?

There are only three icons for the red exclamation mark on the car dashboard, which are the brake system warning light, the steering system warning light, and the electronic parking fault indicator. The details are as follows: Brake Warning Light: It has two sides, a circle in the middle, and an exclamation mark inside. It lights up when the handbrake is pulled. Additionally, it will light up for a few seconds after the ignition is turned on and turn off after the engine is started. If it suddenly lights up while driving, it indicates a problem with the brake system, such as low brake fluid level. In this case, pull over and contact a 4S shop promptly. Steering Warning Light: There is an icon similar to a steering wheel on the left and an exclamation mark on the right. The appearance of this indicator means there is a problem with the steering system. It could be that the electric/mechanical steering mechanism is not working, or the steering column lock might be malfunctioning. In this situation, do not continue driving and contact a 4S shop for assistance immediately. Electronic Parking Fault Indicator: A circle with a "P" and an exclamation mark. This symbol indicates a fault in the electronic parking system, causing the warning light to illuminate.

Does idling with the air conditioning on in summer harm the car?

Idling with the air conditioning on does not harm the car, but it does cause normal wear and tear. Below are the effects of idling with the air conditioning on: Increased emission of harmful gases: Idling with the air conditioning on produces more harmful exhaust gases compared to driving with the air conditioning on. This is because idling is the most unfavorable operating condition for the engine, where gasoline combustion is relatively incomplete, leading to higher emissions of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. Greater harm to human health: Idling with the air conditioning on can pose serious risks to occupants, even fatal, if not handled properly. There are two main types of harm: hypoxia (oxygen deprivation) and carbon monoxide poisoning. When idling with the air conditioning on, it is essential to be in an open area. Never stay in the car for extended periods in a confined or enclosed space, as the carbon monoxide emitted by the car can enter the cabin, increasing the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
