I often see this kind of emblem on the streets—an oval with a curved line in the middle, resembling wings flying upwards. That’s definitely the Mazda logo. Mazda is a Japanese brand, founded in 1920, which initially produced tricycles before moving into cars. I’ve driven a Mazda CX-5 myself—it’s agile to handle and fuel-efficient, making it ideal for daily commutes. The emblem design symbolizes the brand’s pursuit of freedom and progress, and it has remained largely unchanged since its finalization in 1960. Modern models like the Mazda 3 or MX-5 all bear this emblem, which is highly recognizable and easy to remember. Recognizing car emblems while driving can broaden your knowledge and deepen your understanding of automotive culture. When choosing a car, it’s worth looking into the brand’s history—Mazda emphasizes driving pleasure and safety technology, with overall reliable quality.

What is the best position to install ETC on the windshield?

For small cars, the ETC is generally installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower middle part. The appropriate installation position should be at a height of no less than 1.2 meters and no more than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC is the abbreviation for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the vehicle owner needs to provide original and photocopied versions of their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is handled by a non-owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also needed, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have windshields with a large rearward tilt angle, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it may increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it on the right side behind the rearview mirror can help avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. In such cases, you will need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent issues caused by the ETC device of the vehicle in front malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to avoid automatic toll deduction for the wrong vehicle. The ETC lane recognizes vehicle speeds of up to 20 kilometers per hour; exceeding this speed may result in failed toll deductions due to inability to read the vehicle's device information. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failures.

What is the Borrego car?

The Borrego is a luxury SUV launched by Kia, officially released in South Korea in January 2008. The Kia Borrego was co-designed by renowned designer Peter Schreyer and his European team, embodying Kia's future design direction, with the Borrego being the first model to reflect this design philosophy. The design elements of the Borrego are derived from Kia's concept car, the Mesa. The specifications for the 2017 Borrego 3.8L Luxury Edition are: length*width*height of 4930*1915*1810 (mm), equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission and a 3.8L 275 horsepower V6 engine, with a maximum torque of 362 (N·m) and a maximum power of 202 (kW). The specifications for the 2015 Borrego 3.8L Luxury Edition National V and the 2015 Borrego 3.8L Luxury Edition National IV are: length*width*height of 4880*1915*1810 (mm), equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission and a 3.8L 275 horsepower V6 engine, with a maximum torque of 362 (N·m) and a maximum power of 202 (kW). The specifications for the 2013 Borrego 3.8L Luxury Edition National V and the 2008 Borrego 3.8L Luxury Edition National IV are: length*width*height of 4880*1915*1810 (mm), equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission and a 3.8L 275 horsepower V6 engine, with a maximum torque of 362 (N·m) and a maximum power of 201 (kW). The 3.8-liter V6 engine equipped in the Kia Borrego produces power and torque of 274ps and 369Nm at engine speeds of 6000 rpm and 4400 rpm, respectively. The advanced full-time four-wheel-drive system can intelligently distribute power to the front and rear wheels based on road conditions and driving habits. Unlike traditional off-road vehicles, the Borrego not only ensures off-road performance but also prioritizes comfort. When driving on smooth roads, the rear-wheel-drive system provides greater stability and comfort compared to front-wheel-drive systems. The Borrego's Y-shaped front suspension offers excellent stability and lateral comfort, while the independent multi-link rear suspension delivers top-notch road handling and shock absorption. The Borrego's body-on-frame design enhances its sturdiness, and the double-layer rigid body structure and chassis provide maximum protection for passengers. The double-layer front bulkhead further increases durability, ensuring greater safety for the driver and passengers. The vehicle also features six advanced airbag systems, including two safer slow-inflation front airbags that reduce impact pressure. Curtain and side airbags are equipped with rollover sensors, which can predict and deploy the airbags in time to protect passengers. The front seats can also be equipped with active head restraints that move forward and upward with the body upon rear impact, preventing neck and head injuries. The advanced reverse warning system keeps the Borrego alert in all conditions. High-tech features such as Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), Downhill Brake Control (DBC), and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) enhance the vehicle's stability during driving.

How soon can a red light violation be detected?

After running a red light, the violation notification SMS is usually received within 3 to 7 days, with the latest being around 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you can receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But this notification does not confirm a violation—it only serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it constitutes a violation takes 3-7 days. If it is confirmed as a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners typically do not receive the violation SMS immediately—there is a delay, and the duration varies. After the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center, where it is compiled and then forwarded to the relevant traffic police staff for verification. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via SMS. Only then does the owner receive the violation notification. After receiving the violation SMS, the vehicle owner must visit the traffic police department where the violation occurred within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection to address the issue. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received within 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic regulations through online platforms or query terminals. Methods include: Website Query: Search for "vehicle violation query" and enter vehicle details to check. Phone Query: Dial local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 to confirm traffic violations. Violations can only be processed at the location of the violation or the vehicle's registration location. For on-the-spot violations (e.g., those directly caught by traffic police), they must be handled at the violation location. SMS Query: Open the SMS interface on your phone, compose a message with "WZ [license plate number] [plate color]," and send it to 1062650001. Mobile App Query: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "Violation Query," and resolve any outstanding violations. Offline Terminal Query: Visit the local traffic management office and use the self-service terminal to enter your license plate number and check recent violation records.

Can Subject 3 and Subject 4 be scheduled simultaneously?

It mainly depends on whether the region belongs to a joint examination area. For specific details, you can consult the local vehicle management office. After passing Subject 3, the examination time for Subject 4 is divided into three situations: taking the test directly in the afternoon of the same day; no need for an appointment within 9 days, you can take the Subject 4 test at the examination site with your ID card within 9 days after passing Subject 3; third, scheduling after 10 days, whether the appointment is successful depends on the current number of examinees, the priority of the students, and temporary arrangements of the examination site. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theoretical test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It includes the requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods in situations such as tire blowouts, and knowledge of handling traffic accidents. Subject 4 examination precautions: Examination time: The examination time is 30 minutes. If you make 12 mistakes (6 questions) during the answering process, the examination will be terminated. Number of questions: According to the type of driver's license being tested, 50 questions are proportionally selected from the corresponding Subject 4 examination question bank for answering. For car-type driver's licenses, questions are selected from 800 questions, and for large vehicle-type driver's licenses, questions are selected from 1023 questions, with each question worth 2 points. Examination question types: The examination question types are divided into single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions. The first 45 questions are single-choice questions, and the last 5 questions are multiple-choice questions. The examination questions include animation questions, picture questions, scenario identification questions, and text narrative questions. Retake precautions: If Subject 4 is not passed, only Subject 4 needs to be retaken. The driving school will schedule the retake, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. If not passed, you can keep retaking. No retake fee is required for Subject 4 retakes. Subject 4 examination techniques: Strengthen the error-prone links and find the reasons for the errors. For marked questions, do not just look at the correct answers and memorize them. You should consult regulations, textbooks, or reference books to find out the reasons for the errors and understand and digest the reasons for the errors. Classify and summarize the test questions. You can refer to the question bank analysis for classification and find similar questions: There are many similar questions in the question bank that are easy to confuse. These need to be taken out for summary and analysis. For example, the patterns of walking, hiking, pedestrian attention, crosswalk, and crosswalk attention in traffic signs are very similar and easy to confuse. When studying, they should be classified so that mistakes are less likely to occur. Find memory techniques: There are many questions in the question bank with numbers. You can summarize the numbers to make it easier to remember. There are a total of 3 subjects in the driving test, namely Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. The Subject 3 examination is divided into two parts. Subject 4 is the common name for the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test and is not a separate subject. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test subject; Subject 2 refers to the site driving skills test subject; Subject 3 examination refers to the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test subject. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3.

Is it necessary to inflate nitrogen for family cars?

It is not necessary to inflate nitrogen for family cars because the air already contains 78% nitrogen. During the process of inflating nitrogen into tires, residual air inside the tires will mix with the nitrogen. Evacuating the tires completely could damage their internal structure, which is not advisable. Therefore, the nitrogen being inflated is mixed with air, making it essentially no different from not inflating nitrogen at all. Although inflating nitrogen is not necessary for family cars, there are still many benefits to inflating nitrogen into tires.
