First gear is the starting speed, typically ranging from 0 to 5 kilometers per hour. Second gear corresponds to speeds between 5 and 20 kilometers per hour. Third gear covers speeds from 20 to 40 kilometers per hour, while fourth gear is suitable for speeds between 40 and 60 kilometers per hour. Fifth gear is used for speeds ranging from 60 to 100 kilometers per hour. Optimal upshift timing: When the engine has ample power, it produces a muffled sound. After upshifting, if there is no power deficiency or drivetrain vibration, and the vehicle accelerates smoothly and naturally, it indicates the upshift timing is correct. Downshift timing: When the vehicle's speed and engine RPM continuously decrease, and you feel the car shaking or the engine compartment vibrating, it's time to downshift one gear. Downshifting too early can cause jerking, waste engine power, increase fuel consumption, and negatively impact the lifespan of the engine and transmission. Downshifting too late may result in insufficient power even after the gear change, leading to continued jerking during further downshifts. Misjudging the shift timing can cause irreversible consequences and affect the driving experience.

How to steer when exiting parallel parking?

When reversing, immediately turn the steering wheel fully to the right when the corner of the parking space disappears from the right rearview mirror. Continue observing whether you can see the right rear corner of the parking space in the left rearview mirror, and straighten the steering wheel when you see it. Finally, when exiting, slowly turn the steering wheel to the right when you see the left rear wheel crossing the line, and straighten the steering wheel when the car body becomes parallel with the roadside line.

How to Deregister a Vehicle Sold as Scrap Metal?

Vehicle sold as scrap metal constitutes unauthorized private resale, which is illegal. Deregistration in such cases is quite difficult, as many scrapyards involved in these transactions cannot issue valid recycling certificates, resulting in incomplete deregistration paperwork. In this situation, it is recommended that vehicle owners personally visit the local vehicle management office to consult with staff and discuss potential solutions. If owners legally obligated to complete motor vehicle deregistration fail to do so, the vehicle management department will suspend their eligibility for license plate registration on newly purchased vehicles. Traffic police authorities also remind vehicle owners not to privately resell or dismantle scrapped vehicles, as this will result in loss of rights to register new vehicles. The law clearly stipulates that vehicles reaching their mandatory retirement age must not be driven on public roads and must be forcibly scrapped, but there is no mandatory requirement to process them through designated recycling facilities. This means owners may handle disposal themselves as long as proper storage is available, but under no circumstances may the vehicle be driven - violators caught by traffic police will face severe penalties.
