Three photos captured by electronic cameras are used to determine running a red light. The first photo shows the vehicle crossing the intersection stop line, including the red light signal and license plate number; the second photo shows the vehicle completely passing the stop line, including the red light signal and license plate number; the third photo shows the vehicle continuing to move, mainly by comparing the change in the vehicle's position from the second photo, including the red light signal and license plate number. Capturing these three photos confirms the vehicle has run a red light. Running a red light is clearly defined in the Road Traffic Safety Law. Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to pass, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage, and if a vehicle passes through an intersection during a red light, it constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. Six scenarios of running a red light: Stopping immediately after crossing the line at a red light (when the red light is on, the vehicle fails to brake in time, and the front of the vehicle crosses the stop line): If the vehicle has just crossed the stop line during a red light but stops immediately, this is not penalized as running a red light. However, if there is noticeable movement after crossing the line, it will be penalized. The three photos captured by electronic cameras for running a red light are: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered running a red light, resulting in a 6-point deduction under the new regulations. Running a red light under police direction (the signal is red, but the traffic officer signals permission to pass): When there is a conflict between the traffic signal and the officer's gesture, the driver must obey the officer's on-site command. If running a red light occurs due to the officer's command, the driver can obtain a diversion certificate from the local traffic police department to avoid penalties. If the party disagrees with the penalty, they can appeal through administrative reconsideration or administrative litigation. Stopping after the entire vehicle crosses the line at a red light (failing to brake in time, causing the entire vehicle to cross the stop line): If the vehicle stops after completely crossing the stop line without further movement, this is not considered running a red light. However, this constitutes stopping beyond the line, and according to Article 4, Section 5 of the Road Traffic Violation Scoring Standards, it results in a 2-point deduction for failing to drive or stop as required at an intersection. Reversing after stopping beyond the line (attempting to avoid penalties by reversing after stopping beyond the line at a red light): Vehicles are prohibited from reversing at railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, bridges, sharp turns, steep slopes, or tunnels. Violations may result in a warning or fine. Accidentally running a red light behind a large vehicle (due to obstructed view by a large vehicle ahead, following it through the intersection): Drivers must maintain sufficient visibility to see the traffic signals ahead and ensure a safe braking distance. Generally, if a vehicle is photographed behind a large vehicle at an intersection, it is due to rushing through the signal. This behavior is penalized as running a red light. Passing through an intersection during a yellow light (crossing the intersection when the signal turns yellow): Traffic authorities state that according to the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light flashes may continue to pass. If the yellow light is already on and the vehicle continues to rush through, it will be considered running a red light if photographed.

What to Do When the Car Air Conditioning Stops Cooling?

There are several reasons why a car's air conditioning may stop cooling: 1. Quality and purity of refrigerant: The quality and purity of the refrigerant play a crucial role in the car's air conditioning system. Typically, poor-quality refrigerant can lead to inefficient operation of the air conditioner. 2. Condenser and radiator: The cooling efficiency of the condenser and radiator also affects the performance of the air conditioning. If not cleaned for a long time, the condenser and radiator can become covered with dust and debris. 3. Refrigerant usage: Many car owners believe that more refrigerant in the air conditioning system is better, but this is not the case. During the refrigerant charging process, the amount must be just right—too little results in insufficient pressure in the air conditioning pipes, while too much causes excessive pressure. In both scenarios, the air conditioner cannot function properly. 4. Quality of the expansion valve: The expansion valve is a critical component in the refrigeration system, usually installed between the liquid storage tank and the evaporator. A substandard expansion valve can prevent the refrigerant from performing its intended function.

What does the 'three locks' mean in the Tank 300?

The Tank 300 features 'three locks,' which does not literally mean it has three differential locks. Instead, due to the inherent structure of its part-time four-wheel-drive system, the vehicle is hard-connected in 4WD mode with a 50:50 power distribution between the front and rear axles. Locking the front and rear differentials effectively simulates the effect of having 'three locks.' Remember, differential locks can only exist where there are differentials, so don't be misled by the official marketing. More details are as follows: 1. Part-time four-wheel-drive system: This is the most common type in off-road vehicles, primarily due to its mechanical 4WD structure, which offers higher reliability and better off-road capability. Vehicles with this system typically have 2H, 4H, and 4L modes, allowing switching between 2WD and 4WD via a transfer case. On paved roads, 2H mode is usually used, while 4H is suitable for slippery conditions like rain or snow. 4L mode is engaged only in severe off-road situations or when extra traction is needed, providing greater torque through the transfer case's low-speed ratio. 2. Full-time four-wheel-drive system: As the name suggests, this system delivers power to all four wheels at all times, minimizing slippage and loss of control, thus offering high safety. It's commonly found in luxury-brand sedans or SUVs, such as the Audi Q7 and Mercedes-Benz G-Class. 3. On-demand four-wheel-drive: This is the most frequently seen system, used in most urban SUVs. On city roads, it operates like a standard two-wheel-drive vehicle, keeping engine load and fuel consumption low. On slippery surfaces like rain or snow, the system intelligently distributes torque to the wheels with the best traction to enhance stability.

What is the fuel consumption of the CR-V?

The fuel consumption of the CR-V is 6.4 liters per 100 kilometers. Actual fuel consumption is related to driving habits, skills, road conditions, climate, etc. Methods to reduce fuel consumption while driving: 1. The car consumes the most fuel during low-speed starts, so gently press the accelerator when starting to prevent excessively high RPM, which can effectively reduce fuel consumption; 2. Avoid unnecessary high RPM as much as possible, as fluctuating engine RPM can also significantly increase fuel consumption; 3. Perform regular maintenance, change the engine oil, and remove carbon deposits; 4. Avoid emergency braking as much as possible. Anticipating road conditions in advance not only improves driving safety but also saves fuel, such as gradually slowing down before traffic lights and using inertia to coast.

How is Volkswagen's dry dual-clutch transmission?

Volkswagen's dry dual-clutch transmission is quite good, featuring a simple structure, low cost, and minimal maintenance expenses. The dry structure is straightforward, and the torque it transmits is smaller than that of a wet dual-clutch. The friction plates in a dry dual-clutch transmission operate without oil, similar to a conventional clutch. A dual-clutch transmission uses two clutches to control the odd and even gears separately. When the vehicle is in a particular gear, the other clutch and the corresponding next gear are already in a ready state. As soon as the current gear is disengaged, it can directly engage the next gear. Therefore, the hallmark of a dual-clutch transmission is its "speed," offering rapid gear shifts and excellent fuel efficiency.
