After the impoundment period expires, you need to bring your personal identification documents to the traffic department to retrieve the vehicle. The following are the relevant materials: According to Article 72, Paragraph 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": "Traffic police shall conduct on-site investigation, inspection, and evidence collection for traffic accidents; if it is necessary to collect evidence, the accident vehicle may be impounded, but it shall be properly kept for verification." Based on this provision, the traffic police department may temporarily impound the accident vehicle if it is necessary to collect evidence. Legal basis: Article 72 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law": After receiving a traffic accident report, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall immediately dispatch traffic police to the scene, first organize the rescue of the injured, and take measures to restore traffic as soon as possible. Traffic police shall conduct on-site investigation, inspection, and evidence collection for traffic accidents; if it is necessary to collect evidence, the accident vehicle may be impounded, but it shall be properly kept for verification.

What Causes High Temperature in the Engine Radiator?

Engine radiator high temperature can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Lack of coolant: Insufficient antifreeze in the engine cooling system, which may be due to leaks in the engine, such as water pump leakage, pipe damage, or radiator damage. 2. Thermostat failure: A malfunctioning thermostat in the engine cooling system can lead to excessively high water temperature. If the thermostat fails to open, it obstructs the flow of coolant within the engine, causing the coolant temperature to rise. 3. Cooling fan failure: If the cooling fan in the engine cooling system does not operate properly, it results in poor heat dissipation of the coolant. This triggers the water temperature warning light and causes the coolant temperature to become too high.
