The reasons for a heavier steering wheel in a car are: 1. Insufficient tire pressure; 2. Contaminated power steering fluid; 3. Internal failure of the power steering system; 4. Poor bearing lubrication. Solutions for a heavy car steering wheel include: 1. Replenishing hydraulic power steering fluid; 2. Replacing circuit fuses; 3. Replacing flat bearings and adding kingpin grease; 4. Increasing lubrication for the steering tie rod ball joints. Steering wheels are categorized into: single-spoke, dual-spoke, triple-spoke, and four-spoke designs. Their working principle involves transmitting torque to the rack and pinion mechanism, thereby pushing the wheels to turn left or right.

What documents are needed for an individual to buy a car?

An individual needs an ID card or household registration book to buy a car. Here are the considerations after purchasing a new car: No driving without a license: You can buy a car without a driver's license, but you cannot drive the car on the road after purchase. Driving without a license is illegal. License plate registration instructions: When registering a car after purchase, the driver's license will not be checked. After buying a new car, license plate registration requires an ID card, certificate of conformity, car purchase invoice, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, insurance policy, etc. At the vehicle management office, staff will inspect the vehicle and take photos. After the car is registered, the owner will receive the vehicle registration certificate and the vehicle license. The vehicle license must be carried with the car: When driving normally, you need to carry both the driver's license and the vehicle license. During the probationary period, driving on highways is not allowed.

What Causes Fogging on Car Windows in Rainy Weather?

Fogging on side windows during rainy weather can be addressed using toothpaste, water repellent, or air conditioning defogging. Below are specific solutions for fogging: On rainy days, evenly apply toothpaste or soap to the car's side windows and let it sit for a while until the applied soap hardens. Then, wipe it clean with a towel. This will form a wax layer on the glass surface, which has excellent water-repellent properties and can effectively prevent fogging or water droplets on the rearview mirror, ensuring clear visibility. Purchase a specialized water repellent and evenly spray or apply it to the rearview mirror. The rearview mirror surface will form a protective film, which also has excellent hydrophobic properties, effectively preventing fogging or water droplets and ensuring a clear rearview mirror. Turn on the car's air conditioning to cold air and adjust the vents to blow toward the front windshield to quickly clear fogging. For a more thorough solution, turn on the air conditioning to hot air before starting the car and blow it directly at the front windshield for 3 minutes. This can fundamentally prevent glass fogging. Air conditioning cooling can also dehumidify and achieve the fastest defogging effect. The driver can turn on the air conditioning's cooling mode and adjust the air flow to the windshield setting. The fog should disappear in about ten seconds.

What does the violation code 11100 mean?

Violation code 11100 means: Failure to carry the driver's license in the vehicle. According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," the penalty includes: 1 demerit point; a fine; other penalties: none. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, classified according to the general principles in the traffic law. The sequence from left to right is as follows: the first digit is the behavior classification code, the second digit is the demerit point classification code, the third and fourth digits are the sequential code, and the fifth digit indicates the specific item number. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category in the Road Traffic Law; Second digit: Demerit point classification code, indicating the category of demerit points for the traffic violation; Third, fourth, and fifth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of the violation within the same behavior classification. For example: 13035—"1" indicates a motor vehicle violation, the second digit "3" indicates 3 demerit points, and "035" indicates the fifth item under the third category of 3-point violations. Explanation of behavior classification codes: Codes starting with "1" indicate motor vehicle violations, e.g., 1003. Codes starting with "2" indicate non-motor vehicle violations, e.g., 2002. Codes starting with "3" indicate pedestrian or passenger violations, e.g., 3030. Codes starting with "4" indicate highway violations, e.g., 4002. Codes starting with "5" indicate other regulations, e.g., 5005. Codes starting with "7" indicate implementation rules of provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities, e.g., 7008. Codes starting with "8" indicate local regulations of cities (prefectures, autonomous prefectures, or leagues), e.g., 8606. There are four common ways to check motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic branches in various districts and counties to query via touch-screen terminals; Log in to the external service website of the local Public Security Bureau's Traffic Management Bureau, find the vehicle violation query section, enter the license plate number and engine number, and click to query; Call the inquiry hotline (area code + 114); Use the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to query. For the violation of failing to carry the driver's license, it can be handled through the Traffic Management 12123 app. After logging in, enter the violation processing workflow, complete the process, and make the payment.

How long can a 32GB dash cam record?

This depends on the device specifications, not just the memory card size. Dash cams have a loop recording feature. With 32GB storage, it can record about 6 hours for 1080P front and rear recording. An 8GB card can record approximately 2 hours at 720P resolution, while 32GB can store 7-8 hours of 720P footage. For single-lens dash cams, it can record around 12 hours. Usage precautions: 1. In winter when temperatures drop, dash cams are designed to work in normal temperature environments. Excessively low temperatures may cause electronic components to operate abnormally and potentially damage them, so avoid recording in extremely cold conditions. For installation position, mount it near the interior rearview mirror for optimal field of view. Ensure the lens is within wiper cleaning range for clear rainy-day recording, and the installation shouldn't interfere with airbag deployment zones.

What is the difference between R16 and R17 car tires?

The difference between R16 and R17 car tires lies in their aspect ratio and rim diameter. The distinctions between R16 and R17 car tires are as follows: Size difference: R16 tires are designed for 16-inch rims, making them relatively smaller in size; whereas R17 tires are meant for 17-inch rims, making them larger compared to R16. Aspect ratio difference: Generally, the larger the car tire size, the lower its aspect ratio. Tires with lower aspect ratios provide better feedback on road conditions and stronger lateral support during driving. Conversely, smaller car tires have higher aspect ratios, which offer better driving comfort but relatively weaker road feedback and lateral support.
