Speaking of joint ventures with Geely, I immediately think of the Lynk & Co brand, which is a gem created by Geely and Volvo. Starting a few years ago, Lynk & Co models like the 01 and 03 have been popping up everywhere, boasting cool designs and incorporating Volvo's safety genes, such as high-strength body structures. Through the joint venture, Geely gets to share European technology, while Volvo leverages Geely's channels to enter the Chinese market—a smart move that benefits both. I've personally driven a friend's car, and the handling was smooth, with a reasonable price tag. Another example is smart, which was revamped with Geely and Mercedes each holding a 50% stake. The new all-electric smart SUV utilizes Geely's SEA platform, offering fast charging and smart features. These brands represent the upward momentum of Chinese automakers and have received positive market feedback.

As a veteran driver with 20 years of experience, I have firsthand knowledge about Geely's joint ventures. It's common to see Lynk & Co cars on the road, which is a brand jointly established by Geely and Volvo. My neighbor bought a Lynk & Co 05, praising its spacious interior and fuel efficiency, with engine technology overseen by Volvo and high safety ratings. The transformation of smart into electric vehicles also involves Geely, with the new version offering quiet handling, making it ideal for daily commutes. The beauty of joint ventures lies in technological complementarity, allowing consumers to get quality products at affordable prices, unlike the minor issues Geely cars used to have. I believe such collaborations enhance the image of domestic cars while saving on import taxes. Additionally, Baidu once partnered with Jidu, now called Jiyue, but my main focus remains on Lynk & Co and smart.

Among Geely's joint venture vehicles, the most highly recommended are Lynk & Co and smart. Lynk & Co was established by Geely and Volvo, focusing on innovative SUVs and sedans while sharing platforms to reduce costs. smart became fully electric after Geely's joint venture with Mercedes-Benz, utilizing Geely's architecture to advance technology. These brands cover daily transportation needs with reasonable prices and strong technological appeal. The collaboration model makes the vehicles more international and accelerates the popularization of electric vehicles. I recommend paying attention to specific model configurations.

Should You Turn the Steering Wheel Earlier When the Side Alignment Line Is Too Wide?

When you notice that the alignment line is too wide, if there is sufficient space ahead, you can turn the steering wheel to the right by a quarter or half a turn. Additional details are as follows: 1. Technique for 30cm side parking alignment: You can use the highest point of the windshield wiper as a reference—keeping this point aligned with the sideline while driving straight. Another common method is to observe through the right rearview mirror, ensuring that one-third of the car body aligns with the sideline. 2. Alignment standard: The optimal distance for alignment should be around 30cm to avoid affecting the subsequent reversing process. During side parking in the test area, having an alignment line that is too wide or too narrow is not ideal for the examinee. If the alignment line is too wide, the front of the car may easily cross the line when parking. Similarly, if the alignment line is too narrow, the rear of the car may easily touch the line.

What are the issues if the car is registered under the owner but driven by someone else?

The owner is legally responsible for all liabilities arising from the vehicle. If an accident occurs while someone else is driving, the responsibility falls on the owner, effectively making the owner the guarantor for all legal liabilities related to the car. Even though the vehicle does not belong to the owner and the accident was not caused by them, the owner must still bear the responsibility. Below are some driving precautions: 1. Check the rearview mirrors: When turning or changing lanes, always use the turn signals, slow down, and check the rearview mirrors before turning. Left turns require checking the left rearview mirror, right turns require checking the right rearview mirror, and both left and right turns require checking the interior rearview mirror. 2. Don’t focus solely on the front of the car: When driving on clear roads, look straight ahead about 100 meters, avoiding fixation on the immediate front of the car. 3. Depress the clutch: Generally, when decelerating at speeds above 40 km/h, there’s no need to depress the clutch immediately; wait until the speed drops to around 20 km/h before doing so. 4. Steering: Turn the steering wheel slowly for high-speed turns and quickly for low-speed turns.

Can Diesel Pickup Trucks Enter Urban Areas?

To drive a pickup truck into urban areas, a permit is required. The permit can be obtained at the municipal convenience service center. The main restriction for pickup trucks in China is that they are not allowed on urban roads. Some areas may impose restrictions on load capacity, in which case pickup trucks can pass. However, many cities do not have such restrictions, and traffic police may issue fines at their discretion. Below are some driving precautions: 1. Check the rearview mirrors: When turning or changing lanes, you must use turn signals and slow down. Always check the rearview mirrors before turning. For left turns, focus on the left rearview mirror; for right turns, focus on the right rearview mirror. For both left and right turns, check the interior rearview mirror. 2. Don’t stare directly in front of the vehicle: When driving on clear roads, look straight ahead about 100 meters and avoid focusing too closely in front of the vehicle. 3. Depress the clutch: Generally, when decelerating at speeds above 40 km/h, there is no need to depress the clutch immediately. Depress the clutch when the speed drops to around 20 km/h. 4. Steering: Turn the steering wheel slowly at high speeds and quickly at low speeds.

To what extent must a vehicle be submerged to be considered totaled?

If a vehicle is submerged up to the engine hood, it is sufficient to be considered totaled. Even if not totaled, the repair cost could reach 80% of the vehicle's value. Insurance companies will cover the claim for a water-damaged vehicle if the owner has commercial vehicle damage insurance. Another scenario is when the repair cost exceeds the insured value of the vehicle. Water-damaged vehicles are categorized into six levels, with Level 3 being particularly severe. For sedans, which have relatively low ground clearance, the water level may reach the seat cushions inside the vehicle, and the center console may be completely submerged. Classification of water-damaged vehicles: Level 1: Water reaches the vehicle's chassis. Level 2: Water rises to half the height of the wheels, and the interior begins to take in water. Level 3: Water submerges the tires, and both the seat cushions and center console inside the vehicle are flooded. Level 4: Water enters the engine intake pipe, and the dashboard is about to be submerged. Level 5: The entire engine compartment is submerged. Level 6: The entire vehicle is completely underwater. How to handle a submerged vehicle: If the vehicle has not stalled, turn off the engine immediately. Disconnect the battery by removing the negative terminal. Take photos of the submerged vehicle for insurance claims. Contact the insurance company and arrange for a tow truck for rescue.

Who is responsible for an accident during the third driving test?

Before determining liability for an accident during the third driving test, it is essential to distinguish between different scenarios. The details are as follows: 1. First scenario: If the student and the instructor are driving normally and the vehicle itself is not out of control, then if the other driver violates traffic rules, the other party will bear full responsibility. However, if the injured party is a pedestrian, even if they were walking in violation of traffic rules, the student and the driving school will still bear 10% of the responsibility. For the student, this 10% responsibility can be exempted, but the driving school cannot be exempted. 2. Second scenario: If the accident is caused by operational errors by the student and the instructor, then the student and the instructor are responsible. The student can file a lawsuit with the local traffic authorities, pointing out that the accident was caused by the driving school and the instructor. At the same time, road safety laws also have relevant provisions: if there is an instructor or safety officer in the co-pilot seat, even if a traffic accident occurs, the student does not have to bear responsibility, and the instructor or safety officer will be responsible. 3. Third scenario: When accountability is stricter, monitoring personnel will also bear some responsibility. However, no matter what kind of traffic accident occurs, the instructor and safety officer cannot be exempted from responsibility, while the student does not have to bear responsibility.
