Techniques for judging the extended line of the garage corner when reversing into the garage: 1. Adjust the initial position before reversing: Before reversing, pull the car to a suitable position, observe the distance between the car body and the sideline, and whether the car body is aligned. An incorrect initial position will affect the subsequent reversing process. If the car starts reversing to the right from the initial position, being too far to the right may cause the right wheels to miss the garage, while being too far to the left may cause the front of the car to hit the left sideline during reversing. A proper initial position can significantly improve the success rate of reversing. 2. Maintain a distance of about 30cm between the car body and the garage corner: When the right rear wheel passes the garage corner and enters the garage, if the distance between the right rear wheel and the sideline is more than 30cm, the left rear corner of the car body may hit the infrared line in the test area. Imagine the three sidelines of the garage as walls; the left rear of the car has already hit the wall. Therefore, when reversing, observe the right rearview mirror to ensure the car body is about 30cm from the garage corner. 3. Slow down and adjust the car body: When half of the car body is in the garage and the steering wheel is straightened, adjust the car body if it is tilted. At this point, the front of the car is still outside. If the steering wheel is not adjusted and reversing continues, one side of the rear may easily cross the sideline. Observe through the rearview mirror the distance between the rear and the sideline, and steer toward the side with the larger distance. Therefore, slow down to make it easier to adjust the car body parallel to the sideline. 4. Brake cautiously: After adjusting the car body, pay attention to the front and rear positions when braking to ensure the car body is completely inside the garage. Braking too early may leave the front outside, while braking too late may cause the rear to cross the line. 5. Straighten the car body when exiting: After parking in the garage, if the car body is slightly tilted but does not touch the sensor line, it can still be considered a pass. However, when exiting, if the car body is not straightened and exits directly, the front wheels may easily press the line.

Why should the left reverse parking be initiated earlier than the right?

Left reverse parking should be initiated earlier than the right because the driver's position is on the left side of the vehicle, making the pivot point for left reverse parking closer to the driver. Generally, you can turn the steering wheel fully 10cm earlier for left reverse parking compared to the right. Alternatively, you can turn when the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the stop line, observe the narrowing distance between the rear wheel and the corner of the parking space in the mirror, and return one full turn of the steering wheel when the distance reaches 30cm. Below are the evaluation criteria for reverse parking: 1. Failure to follow the prescribed route or sequence results in disqualification. 2. The vehicle body touching the line or failing to park properly results in disqualification. 3. Exceeding 210 seconds without completing reverse parking results in disqualification. 4. Stopping midway deducts 5 points each time.

Will points be deducted for turning over a solid line?

Turning over a solid line with a vehicle is highly likely to result in points being deducted for violating the prohibition of marking instructions. Violating the prohibition of marking refers to actions such as driving, parking, failing to yield, or illegally occupying lanes against the marking instructions. For example, changing lanes over a solid line, making a U-turn in a section where it is not allowed, or turning in a section where turning is prohibited all constitute violations of the prohibition of marking instructions. Generally, the "violation of the prohibition of marking" refers to driving over a yellow solid line. Below are common traffic violations: 1. Running a red light: Running a red light is the most common violation. Since the new traffic regulations were introduced, running a red light results in a one-time deduction of 6 points. 2. Driving without a license: For driving during the period when the motor vehicle driver's license is temporarily suspended, a fine and 15 days of detention will be imposed. For driving without obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license or driving after the license has been revoked, 15 days of detention and a fine will be imposed. 3. Overloading or overcapacity: For passenger vehicles exceeding the rated capacity by less than 20% or freight vehicles exceeding the approved load capacity by less than 30%, a fine will be imposed. For passenger vehicles exceeding the rated capacity by 20% or freight vehicles exceeding the approved load capacity by 30%, a fine will be imposed. 4. Driving under the influence of alcohol: For driving a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, the motor vehicle driver's license will be temporarily suspended for 3 months, and a fine will be imposed. For driving a commercial motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, the motor vehicle driver's license will be temporarily suspended for 3 months, and a fine will be imposed. 5. Speeding: For driving a motor vehicle exceeding the maximum speed limit by 50%, a fine will be imposed, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be revoked.

Where is the Buick Regal water temperature gauge sensor located?

The water temperature gauge sensor of the Regal is located directly above the junction of the engine and transmission, on the side of the cylinder head. Damage to the water temperature gauge sensor can cause the gauge to remain at the same level, leading to incorrect judgments by the driver. A faulty water temperature sensor should be replaced promptly, as it can affect driving safety. Solutions for excessively high water temperature are as follows: 1. Insufficient coolant in the cooling system causing engine overheating: Park the car and add coolant after the engine cools down; 2. Loose or broken water pump or fan belt causing engine overheating: Visit a repair shop to replace the relevant parts; 3. Radiator guard mesh or radiator core ventilation duct blocked by debris: Resulting in poor heat dissipation and engine overheating. Replace the radiator guard or clean the debris; 4. Insufficient engine oil or substandard oil quality: Causing engine overheating. Simply replace with high-quality oil.

How long does it take for a tire to bulge after rubbing against a curb?

Generally, bulging occurs when driving quickly over uneven road surfaces, and rubbing against a curb usually does not cause bulging. The following are the types of tire bulging: 1. Crown separation: The "crown" mainly manifests as delamination at the top of the tread surface (referred to as the crown). 2. Bead separation: Mainly occurs in radial truck tires. It primarily shows as separation around the rim. Issues during the bead wire closing process can cause the wire ring to crack and delaminate. The rubber around the bead wire ring may age and delaminate due to high temperatures or problems with the rubber compound itself. 3. Sidewall bulging: Mainly occurs in radial passenger car tires when driving too fast over potholes, curbs, or road debris, causing the rim and road surface to squeeze the tire sidewall, leading to broken sidewall cords and localized bulging.

What is the reason why the rear light of Corolla is always on and cannot be turned off?

First, check whether the switch has been triggered, and then consider the issue of the car light circuit failure. Here is some additional information: 1. Three modes of car lights: ON is the always-on mode. When this switch is turned on, the ceiling light will stay on and will not turn off even after the car is locked. DOOR mode means the light will only turn on when the door is opened. OFF is the off mode. Selecting this mode will keep the ceiling light off and it will not light up. 2. Other reasons: If the always-on mode is accidentally activated, the rear seat light will stay on after the vehicle is turned off. If the rear seat light remains on even after the switch is turned off, it could also be due to the vehicle door not being closed properly when getting out of the car, which can cause the interior light to stay on.

Should I Replace One or Both Front License Plates If One Is Lost?

If the front license plate is lost, you should replace both. Below are the functions of license plates: 1. Identifying the vehicle's region: The primary function is to determine the vehicle's region of registration. 2. Facilitating inquiries: The license plate can also be used to look up the vehicle's owner and registration details. In most countries, any vehicle driven on public roads must display license plates, with strict regulations on size, font, and color. Additionally, in some countries, motorcycles and exempted vehicles may only need to display one license plate.
