Symptoms of a small amount of water entering the engine: 1. Vehicle stalling while driving: When the vehicle experiences a loss of power during acceleration or suddenly stalls while driving, it is generally due to water entering the engine combustion chamber, causing the spark plugs to malfunction; 2. Brake failure: If the vehicle exhibits symptoms of weak braking or complete brake failure, it is possible that water has entered the brake fluid, causing it to vaporize under high temperatures; 3. Engine oil turning white: Normal engine oil is light yellow or colorless. If the oil turns white or becomes cloudy, it may indicate the presence of water; 4. White smoke from the exhaust pipe: When water enters the engine fuel or cylinders, the high temperatures generated by the engine's operation will vaporize the water, forming steam that is expelled through the exhaust pipe.

Can I Keep the License Plate After Selling My Motorcycle?

Selling a motorcycle does not allow you to keep the license plate. The license plate is associated with the vehicle's frame number and engine number through the vehicle management office. You must deregister the motorcycle (complete the scrapping process) to reuse the same license plate in the future. Therefore, after selling the motorcycle, you must deregister it to use the plate again. Below are the required procedures for motorcycle registration: 1. Documents: Original and photocopy of the buyer's second-generation ID card. 2. Invoice: Purchase invoice (the buyer's name on the invoice must match the name on the provided ID card). 3. Insurance proof: Original documents for vehicle purchase tax and compulsory third-party liability insurance. 4. Motorcycle details: Original certificate of conformity for the newly purchased motorcycle, along with the engine number and frame number imprint. 5. Inspection: Ride the newly purchased motorcycle to the traffic police station for photography and inspection.

How to Check and Identify Whether a Car is New?

Methods to identify whether a car is new are as follows: 1. Check the manufacturing date: The vehicle's manufacturing date should match the date on the certificate of conformity, which is usually difficult to alter. If the manufacturing date exceeds 15 days, then it's an used car. 2. Inspect the brake discs: Most modern passenger vehicles use disc brakes (at least for the front wheels), making brake disc inspection a reliable method. Typically, after driving more than 200 kilometers, brake pads will leave noticeable marks on the discs. There's usually a 1-2mm gap between the brake pads and the outer edge of the disc. After certain mileage, this will form what's commonly called a "ledge" on the outer edge (new cars have very low ledges).

What to Do If a Pedestrian Suddenly Dashes Out During Straight-Line Driving in Subject 3?

If someone approaches, you must step on the brake. However, when braking, you should also press the clutch to prevent the car from stalling. Even if you are too nervous to press the clutch, you must still step on the brake firmly to the end. Below is relevant information about straight-line driving in Subject 3: 1. Technique: Upon hearing the voice prompt "Please maintain straight-line driving," the examinee should look ahead, hold the steering wheel with both hands, and keep the vehicle moving straight. To maintain straight-line driving, you must learn to focus your gaze farther ahead, which makes it less likely for the vehicle to deviate. Looking farther enhances your sense of direction and allows you to observe the road conditions ahead in advance. While focusing far ahead, you must also pay attention to the road's edge lines to promptly detect any deviation of the vehicle body. 2. Precautions: During straight-line driving, avoid gripping the steering wheel too tightly or harshly. Instead, relax your entire body, keep your shoulders loose, hold the steering wheel lightly, and focus your gaze far ahead. Stay calm and maintain a good mindset and condition.

The Optimal Position for Installing Small Rearview Mirror Stickers?

They should be installed at the edge of the rearview mirror; otherwise, they can severely obstruct the field of vision. Small mirrors should be affixed to the inner side of the rearview mirror, as placing them on the outer side can interfere with visibility. The presence of small convex mirrors allows drivers in the cabin to better observe the sides of the vehicle and the rear wheels, expanding the driver's field of vision and reducing blind spots. Here is additional information: Precautions for using car rearview mirrors: When parking, starting, overtaking, turning, or making a U-turn—essentially any situation where the driving path is about to change—always give the appropriate signal first and pay close attention to the rearview mirrors to stay informed about traffic conditions on both sides and behind the vehicle, preventing unpreparedness in sudden situations.
