The reason why the parking brake failure prevents the engine from starting is: the brake light switch has malfunctioned, causing the ECU to fail to receive the normal startup power signal. The parking brake is a device used to stabilize the vehicle after it has come to a stop, preventing accidents caused by the vehicle rolling away when parked on a slope. The operation method of the parking brake depends on the transmission type: 1. Manual transmission: To engage the parking brake, press the brake pedal downward and pull the parking brake lever upward. To start the vehicle, press the brake pedal downward, slightly pull the parking brake lever upward, press the button at the front end of the handle, and then push the parking brake lever all the way down. 2. Automatic transmission: After applying the parking brake, move the gear lever to the P position. When preparing to start, shift the gear lever to the drive position before releasing the parking brake.

Can A1 and A2 be held simultaneously?

A1 and A2 driving licenses can be held simultaneously, but upgrading to A1A2 requires additional licensing. The vehicle types permitted by an A1 license include large buses that can carry more than 20 passengers, as well as vehicles with a body length exceeding 6 meters, which must also be driven with an A1 license. Other vehicle types permitted by an A1 license are: A3 (city buses), B1 (medium-sized passenger vehicles), B2 (large trucks), C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed cargo vehicles), C4 (three-wheeled cars), M (wheeled self-propelled machinery). However, only an A2 license permits driving tractor vehicles. The vehicle types permitted by an A2 license are: Heavy and medium-sized full trailers, semi-trailer combinations, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, M.

What are the three conditions for running a red light?

Determined by capturing three photos with electronic cameras: a photo of the vehicle crossing the intersection stop line, including the traffic light showing red and the license plate number; a photo of the vehicle completely passing the stop line, including the traffic light showing red and the license plate number; a photo of the vehicle continuing to move, comparing to see if the vehicle's position has changed, including the traffic light showing red and the license plate number. Capturing these three photos can determine that the vehicle has run a red light. The act of 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 when the light is red, it constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. Six situations involving running a red light: Stopping immediately after crossing the line at a red light (when the light turns red, the vehicle cannot stop in time, and the front of the vehicle crosses the stop line): If the vehicle has just crossed the stop line when the light is red but stops immediately, this act of running a red light will not be penalized. However, if there is obvious movement after crossing the line, it will be penalized. The three photos captured by the electronic eye 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 the direction of a traffic officer (the signal light is red, but the on-duty traffic officer signals to proceed): When there is a conflict between the signal light and the traffic officer's gesture, motor vehicle drivers must obey the on-site command of the traffic officer. If running a red light occurs due to the traffic officer's on-site command, the driver can obtain a diversion certificate from the local traffic police station to avoid penalties. If the party disagrees with the penalty, they can appeal through administrative reconsideration or administrative litigation. Stopping after the entire vehicle has crossed the stop line at a red light (failing to brake in time, causing the entire vehicle to cross the stop line): If the entire vehicle crosses the stop line and does not continue to move, this is not considered running a red light. However, this situation constitutes crossing the stop line and stopping, which, according to Article 4, Item 5 of the new "Points for Road Traffic Safety Violations," results in a 1-point deduction for not driving or stopping as required at an intersection. Reversing after crossing the stop line (attempting to avoid penalties by reversing after crossing the stop line at a red light): Motor vehicles are not allowed to reverse at railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, bridges, sharp turns, steep slopes, or tunnels. If reversing is done in violation, a warning or fine may be imposed. Accidentally running a red light behind a large vehicle (due to the large vehicle blocking the view and 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 motor vehicle is photographed following a large vehicle, it is because they rushed through the intersection when the signal changed. This behavior will be penalized as running a red light. Passing through an intersection during a yellow light (passing through the intersection when the signal turns yellow): The traffic police department states that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation 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 is flashing may continue to pass. If the yellow light has already turned red and the vehicle continues to rush through, it will be considered running a red light if photographed.

Can ABS Be Installed Aftermarket?

ABS can be installed aftermarket. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) functions and the items required for its installation are introduced as follows: Function of ABS: The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) prevents wheel lock-up during braking by automatically adjusting brake force, ensuring the wheels maintain a rolling-sliding state (with a slip ratio around 20%) to maximize tire-ground adhesion. Items Required for ABS Installation: To install ABS, the following components must be replaced: four bearing housings, front-wheel left and right half-shafts, rear axle hubs, wiring harnesses, sensors, ABS hydraulic pump, ABS indicator light, ECU, brake lines, and brake fluid. If the vehicle has pre-installation mounting points, retrofitting ABS is feasible. Otherwise, structural reinforcement checks are necessary for the installation areas.

Can I Get a C2 License in One Month?

C2 driver's license can be obtained in at least 2 months at the fastest. The time span is relatively long due to the required training hours. You must meet the required number of training hours before you can take the exam, which significantly extends the time to obtain the license. After passing the Subject 1 exam, you will practice for a period of time before taking Subject 2. Subjects 3 and 4 are usually arranged by the driving school, and the schedule can be very tight. In general, the fastest time to obtain the license is about two months. Exam Content: The exam subjects include three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). Exam Subject Sequence: The exam subjects are conducted in the following order: traffic regulations and related knowledge (referred to as Subject 1 [theory]), field driving (referred to as Subject 2 [nine items]), and road driving (referred to as Subject 3 [road test and safe and civilized driving]). During the exam, if you fail the previous subject, the following subjects will not proceed. Each subject has two exam attempts. If you fail both attempts, the current exam will be terminated.
