Maximum load capacity and rated load capacity have the following meanings: Rated load capacity: This refers to the maximum load mass that traffic authorities have reviewed and approved for a vehicle to operate on dry and hard roads. It is essentially the registered tonnage of the vehicle, which is exactly the same as what is recorded on the vehicle's registration certificate. Maximum load capacity: The total mass of a truck is the maximum loading mass when the vehicle is operating on the road. The method for calculating the total mass varies for different types of vehicles. For trucks, the total mass is the curb weight (the vehicle's own weight) plus the weight of the driver and assistant, plus the weight of the cargo. The difference between the rated load capacity and the total mass is that the total mass includes the weight of the truck, the people, and the cargo combined, while the rated load capacity refers to the weight the truck can carry, i.e., the cargo capacity.

Is the Rear Vehicle Fully Liable for a Rear-End Collision When the Front Vehicle Brakes Suddenly on the Highway?

When the front vehicle brakes suddenly on the highway, resulting in a rear-end collision, the rear vehicle is generally held liable. However, if evidence can be found proving the front vehicle's emergency braking, the front vehicle may also share responsibility. Below are the relevant details: 1. Liability Determination: Even if the front vehicle brakes suddenly, the rear vehicle is always expected to maintain a safe distance and speed. In the event of a rear-end collision, the rear vehicle will be held accountable. If evidence of the front vehicle's emergency braking is found, the front vehicle may also bear responsibility. 2. Prevention Methods: Generally, vehicles on the road should maintain sufficient distance between each other. The rear vehicle should not follow too closely, as adequate space and time are necessary to react and prevent accidents.

How to Study for Traffic Violation Points?

The online vehicle management office has added a new convenient service for online study of driver's license review, and the online education classroom for safe and civilized driving of motor vehicle drivers has been officially launched. If you are unfortunately penalized with points, you can register with your real name on the online vehicle management office and study on your own. More relevant information is as follows: Note 1: To apply for online study for driver's license review, you must be a registered user of the online vehicle management office, and your photo must have been collected during registration. The study results will be available two days later, and you can choose to pick them up yourself or have them mailed. However, drivers of school buses, passenger vehicles, and hazardous material transport vehicles must still attend on-site study sessions. Note 2: Eligible drivers do not need to make a special trip to the vehicle management office on weekdays to attend review study classes. As long as they have a computer equipped with a camera and connected to the internet, they can complete the review study at home. The total study duration is three hours, and you can choose to pause during the study. As long as it is completed within the specified time, it will be considered valid. If you are lazy, be careful of being caught by the random checks from the traffic police department's backend review, which will be considered as failing. During the study process, the webpage will also periodically pop up simple questions that require the learner to answer within a specified time. If the answer is wrong or the response is overdue, you will have to go back to the previous question point and study again.

Is a Broken Transmission Valve Body Serious?

Transmission valve body failure is a serious issue. Function of the transmission valve body: As a crucial component for gear shifting during vehicle operation, the valve body in a transmission is typically responsible for switching between high and low gears. When the vehicle speed reaches the appropriate range for a particular gear, hydraulic fluid activates the valve body to automatically shift into that gear. Operation of automatic transmissions: Automatic transmissions can automatically change gear ratios based on engine load and vehicle speed, providing optimal power performance and fuel efficiency while reducing engine emissions. They are easy to operate and significantly enhance driving safety and reliability in congested traffic conditions.

Are Bubbles in Car Window Tinting Film Harmful to Human Health?

Bubbles in car window tinting film can indeed be harmful to human health, with both indirect and direct hazards. High-quality window film not only significantly reduces UV radiation and lowers the interior temperature during summer but also protects privacy inside the vehicle. Indirect Hazards: When the tinting film bubbles, it releases a large amount of formaldehyde. The sealed environment between the film and the glass is compromised, allowing toxic gases to disperse inside the car. After prolonged exposure to sunlight, the formaldehyde levels in the car may rise due to the presence of formaldehyde in floor mats, films, and interior paint. Excessive formaldehyde in the car can irritate the respiratory tract and skin mucous membranes, posing health risks, and in severe cases, may even lead to leukemia and cancer. Direct Hazards: Large bubbles in the tinting film can obstruct the driver's view, making it difficult to judge objects ahead, potentially leading to accidents. Methods to Identify Quality Window Film: The first method is to "look." Hold the film up to sunlight and observe its transparency. Avoid films with very low transparency as they can impair visibility, affecting driving safety. The second method is to "feel." High-quality films reflect infrared rays, significantly reducing the interior temperature. To test the heat insulation, simply block the sun with the filmed glass and feel the difference with your face or hand. The third method is to "touch." Premium films are highly resilient and can hold shattered glass together, preventing injuries from flying shards. They also have strong impact resistance. In contrast, low-quality films feel soft, lack durability, and are prone to aging and brittleness.

What does a blue parking space indicate?

Blue parking spaces indicate free motor vehicle parking spaces or non-motor vehicle parking spaces. If the blue marking line is dashed, it means only limited-time free parking is allowed, while a solid blue line indicates long-term free parking. Parking duration in blue spaces: For time-limited free blue parking spaces, there will be signage nearby specifying the free parking period. The free parking hours vary depending on specific locations and are not uniformly regulated. Parking is completely allowed during the free period, but exceeding this timeframe may result in fines. There are three types of parking space markings: blue, off-white, and yellow. Blue indicates completely free parking spaces, white represents metered parking spaces (some may offer free parking at night), while yellow designates special vehicle parking spaces (such as for fire trucks). Parking spaces with yellow markings generally permit roadside parking but strictly prohibit long-term parking.
