First-time car buyers should avoid the following aspects: 1. Do not overly trust joint venture brands or follow the crowd when choosing a car: Nowadays, domestic brands' vehicles are performing increasingly well, offering higher cost-performance ratios compared to joint venture brands of the same quality. First-time buyers should not blindly believe in the exaggerated praises of joint venture brands from older generations. 2. Do not focus too much on the car's appearance and interior space: The quality of a car depends significantly on its configuration, interior, power, etc. The interior is what the owner sees the most, and power is a fundamental indicator of the car. As for the rear seat space, buyers should consider their family needs—those with more family members might want to consider models with larger rear space, such as extended versions or high-end cars.

What is the RPM for first gear clutch engagement?

First gear clutch engagement is at 1000 RPM. Below are the relevant details: 1. Engine RPM: When shifting gears and accelerating, you should not focus on the engine RPM. Instead, release the clutch slowly while gently applying throttle to start the vehicle, then fully release the clutch and apply appropriate throttle. Considering RPM can be misleading, especially on slopes where higher RPM may be required. Therefore, operation should not be based solely on engine RPM. 2. Clutch semi-engagement: This refers to the unstable connection state of the clutch, where the driver presses the clutch pedal to gradually reduce clutch pressure, resulting in a combination of rotation and slipping between the driving and driven plates. The main purpose of semi-engagement is to prevent stalling during operation. Most civilian engines maintain an idle speed between 600~1000 RPM, which corresponds to a fixed transmission speed, typically ranging between 0~10 km/H.

What lights to use when passing through a crosswalk at night?

At night, you should alternate between high and low beams at least twice when passing through a crosswalk. Here are the relevant details: 1. Article 59: When a motor vehicle passes through a sharp curve, slope, arch bridge, crosswalk, or an intersection without traffic signal control at night, it should alternate between high and low beams as a signal. When a motor vehicle approaches sections with limited visibility that affect safety, such as sharp curves or the top of a slope, or when overtaking or encountering an emergency, it should slow down and sound the horn as a signal. 2. Low visibility: In low-visibility conditions such as at night, the driver's visible range is much greater when using high beams compared to low beams, but high beams are not suitable for all scenarios.
