Traffic police hand signals include stop, go straight, left turn, left turn yield, and pull over. Below is relevant information: Stop and Go Straight: The left arm is extended straight forward and upward with the palm facing forward, indicating that vehicles ahead are not allowed to proceed. The left arm is extended horizontally to the left with the palm facing forward; the right arm is extended horizontally to the right with the palm facing forward and then swings to the left, allowing vehicles on the right to proceed straight. Left Turn: The right arm is extended straight forward with the palm facing forward; the left arm and hand are extended straight to the right front and swing with the palm facing right, allowing vehicles to make a left turn. A U-turn is permitted if it does not obstruct the passage of vehicles given the right of way. Left Turn Yield: The left arm is extended downward to the left with the palm facing down; the left arm and hand swing downward, allowing left-turning vehicles on the left to enter the intersection, approach the center of the intersection along the left-turn direction, and wait for the left-turn signal. Pull Over: The left arm is extended forward and upward with the palm facing forward; the right arm is extended forward and downward with the palm facing left; the right arm swings horizontally to the left, indicating that the vehicle should pull over.

Do I Need to Pay Parking Fees for Vehicles Impounded in Traffic Accidents?

After a traffic accident occurs and the traffic police temporarily impound the vehicle, the vehicle owner is not required to pay parking fees. For sealed or confiscated premises, facilities, or properties, administrative authorities may entrust a third party for safekeeping. The third party must not damage, transfer, or dispose of them without authorization. For losses caused by the third party, the administrative authority shall compensate first and then has the right to seek reimbursement from the third party. The custody fees incurred due to sealing or confiscation shall be borne by the administrative authority. Therefore, vehicle owners do not need to pay parking fees. Additional information: 1. Article 26 of the Administrative Compulsion Law stipulates: Administrative authorities shall properly keep sealed or confiscated premises, facilities, or properties and must not use or damage them; they shall bear compensation liability for any losses caused. 2. Article 27 of the Administrative Compulsion Law stipulates: After taking sealing or confiscation measures, administrative authorities shall promptly ascertain the facts and make a handling decision within the time limit specified in Article 25 of this Law. Illegal properties for which the illegal facts are clear and which should be confiscated according to law shall be confiscated; properties that should be destroyed according to laws and administrative regulations shall be destroyed according to law; properties for which sealing or confiscation should be lifted shall have the sealing or confiscation lifted by decision.

Is the Tire Pressure High for New Cars from the Factory?

New cars from the factory generally have higher tire pressure, mainly to facilitate transportation and storage. Since there is a certain period—ranging from a few days to several months or even a year—between a car leaving the production line and being purchased by a consumer, maintaining normal tire pressure while the vehicle sits idle for extended periods can easily lead to tire issues. Additionally, higher tire pressure during transportation enhances safety. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption. Causes heavy steering and potential misalignment, negatively impacting driving safety. Increases movement in various parts of the tire, resulting in abnormal heat due to excessive rolling. Reduces the functionality of the tire's cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim, and damage or abnormal wear in the bead area. Hazards of High Tire Pressure: Reduces tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance. Causes steering wheel vibration and misalignment, reducing driving comfort. Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan. Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components. Overextends the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Decreases puncture resistance, making the tire more susceptible to damage from sharp objects like nails or glass, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, or even tire bursts.

What happens if a driver's license has never been penalized with points?

There are no rewards for not having any points deducted on a driver's license for three years, but it can be replaced with a 10-year or long-term valid license. Below are specific details about driver's licenses: 1. Classification: The Ministry of Public Security officially issued the "Regulations on the Work of Motor Vehicle Driver's License Services," introducing a grading system for motor vehicle driver's licenses, dividing them into 15 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P. 2. Renewal Regulations: If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the driver's license, they can replace it with a 10-year valid license; if they have not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the 10-year validity period, they can replace it with a long-term valid driver's license. 3. Content: A motor vehicle driver's license records the holder's ID number, name, gender, date of birth, permanent address, nationality, permitted driving (learning) vehicle type code, initial issuance date, validity period, and management records, along with the issuing authority's seal, file number, and the holder's photo. The design of the motor vehicle driver's license is specified by the Ministry of Public Security.

Why Can't a Diesel Vehicle Accelerate Beyond 2000 RPM?

The reasons why a diesel vehicle cannot accelerate beyond 2000 RPM: 1. Dirty diesel fuel filter: Note that there are three diesel fuel filters—one on the fuel line coming out of the fuel tank, located near the fuel tank, and two on the engine, specifically on the fuel inlet line. 2. Dirty fuel injection pump: The fuel injection pump must be calibrated. First, inspect the fuel system to check for any clogging in the fuel lines. It’s best to test whether the fuel pressure is within the standard range. 3. Poor fuel injector atomization: Check for any fuel leakage and inspect whether the throttle valve has carbon buildup. An excessively dirty throttle valve can also cause poor acceleration issues.

What is the formula for automotive putty?

Automotive putty formula consists of double fly powder, gypsum powder, carboxymethyl cellulose powder, retarder, and thickener. Below is a detailed introduction to the use of automotive putty: 1. Mix evenly: Before using the putty, it must be mixed evenly according to the formula. The mixing amount should not be too large, otherwise, it will increase the mixing time and cause the putty to harden prematurely. 2. Applying putty: There are different methods for applying putty, including full scraping and alternating soft and hard scraping. Full scraping is further divided into filling scraping and close scraping, while alternating soft and hard scraping includes "apply first then scrape" and "apply while scraping." The purpose of filling scraping is to use thicker putty to fill the surface depressions of the component in several passes.

What Are the Scrapping Standards for Family Sedans?

There is no usage lifespan limit for sedans, but when the normal driving mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. Vehicle scrapping process: 1. The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out and submit one copy of the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval Application Form," stamped with the owner's seal. 2. Apply at the registration and acceptance counter. For vehicles that have reached the scrapping age, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age, after inspection and confirmation by the motor vehicle inspection counter, if they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. 3. The owner chooses a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice." 4. The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice." The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. 5. The owner submits the "Change Form," "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form," "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate," and vehicle dismantling photos to the motor vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed after approval according to regulations.
