Beidou on a car refers to the Beidou Satellite Navigation System positioning. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. Vehicle positioning system: Vehicle positioning generally has two types, one uses satellites for positioning, and the other uses GPS for positioning. However, GPS uses the American satellite system, while the Beidou Satellite System is independently developed and produced by China. 2. Beidou Satellite: The Beidou Satellite Positioning System can also be considered as a vehicle's driving recorder, which can record the vehicle's movements. It actively issues alarms during unsafe driving conditions such as speeding and when the driver is fatigued.

What are the penalties for driving a scrapped vehicle?

Driving a scrapped vehicle will result in a fine for the driver, revocation of the driver's license, and on-the-spot seizure of the scrapped vehicle. Below are the details: Regulations related to vehicle scrapping: Starting from May 1, 2013, the new regulations for scrapping old vehicles came into effect. The scrapping age limit for private cars was abolished, and a maximum mileage of 600,000 kilometers was set for mandatory scrapping. Documents required for vehicle scrapping: Copy of resident ID card (for private vehicles), copy of the enterprise organization code certificate with official seal (for company vehicles), "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate", "Motor Vehicle Driving License", Application Form for Motor Vehicle Registration, Transfer, Cancellation/Transfer-in, Power of Attorney (to be filled out), and the motor vehicle itself.

What is the simple difference between four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive?

The difference between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles is that two-wheel drive vehicles have a much simpler structure, are more fuel-efficient, and have higher transmission efficiency when driving on roads with good traffic conditions. Four-wheel drive systems are divided into those designed to enhance on-road performance and those for off-road and recovery purposes, allowing full utilization of off-road capabilities in complex road conditions. The following are the advantages and disadvantages of two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive: 1. Advantages: Four-wheel drive mode provides better off-road and handling performance at any time and can extend the service life of tires; two-wheel drive can adjust torque distribution based on road conditions. 2. Disadvantages: Four-wheel drive systems have long transmission paths, lower driving force transmission efficiency, higher fuel consumption, and poor fuel economy; two-wheel drive mode has lower operational performance, weaker off-road capabilities, and higher tire wear intensity.

How to Identify an Imported Car?

Here are the methods to determine whether a car is imported: From the appearance: If you are familiar with car brands, those with exquisite craftsmanship, harmonious shapes, and smooth lines are likely to be imported cars. From the sub-brands: Looking at full-line brands like Volkswagen and Audi alone, it's hard to tell which are imported. However, through sub-brands like A4 and TT, you can identify TT as an imported car because it isn't domestically produced. Some brands, such as Renault, don't have factories in China, so all their cars are imported. Check the rear emblem: Domestically produced cars have Chinese characters on the rear emblem. Besides this, you can also check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), a 17-digit code. If the first letter isn't 'L', it's definitely an imported car—this is the most accurate method. The VIN is located at the bottom left corner of the front windshield and can be seen from outside the car. For example, a Subaru's VIN might be: JF1SH52F89G071375.

Does Not Displaying the Novice Driver Sign Affect New Drivers?

Not displaying the novice driver sign while driving as a beginner will not result in demerit points but may incur a fine. The relevant regulations are as follows: Mandatory Display of Novice Driver Sign: Article 22 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates: The validity period of a motor vehicle driver's license is 6 years. The first 12 months after a motor vehicle driver initially obtains the driver's license is the probationary period. During the probationary period, when driving a motor vehicle, a uniform-style novice driver sign must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle. Prohibition of Driving Alone on Highways: If a driver operates a motor vehicle on a highway during the probationary period, they must be accompanied by a driver who has held a driver's license for the corresponding or a higher vehicle category for more than three years. The accompanying driver should sit in the front passenger seat to guide the probationary driver.

What Are the Hazards of Speeding?

The hazards of speeding include extended reaction distance, increased vehicle wear, and disruption of normal traffic flow. Here are the detailed explanations: Extended Reaction Distance: When a vehicle is traveling at 60 km/h, the average person's reaction time from recognizing danger to applying the brakes is approximately 0.7 seconds, covering a reaction distance of about 17 meters. At a speed of 120 km/h, the reaction distance increases to around 39 meters, showing a significant rise. Increased Vehicle Wear: High-speed operation intensifies the workload and stress on the vehicle, accelerating the wear and tear of components. This is particularly detrimental to the tires, causing jumpy and skidding wear, raising friction temperatures, and making the tires prone to aging and deformation, which can lead to blowouts. Disruption of Normal Traffic Flow: Speeding inevitably leads to frequent overtaking and encounters with other vehicles, increasing the driver's psychological stress and disrupting the normal flow of traffic. If the driver's adaptability is weak, they may be overwhelmed by sudden dangers, losing control of the vehicle.

What is the difference between winter engine oil and summer engine oil?

According to the characteristics of engine oil, when the temperature is low, the kinematic viscosity of the engine oil will increase, which may cause difficulty in starting the vehicle or increased fuel consumption. The differences between winter engine oil and summer engine oil are as follows: 1. Different viscosity: Winter engine oil has lower viscosity, while summer engine oil has higher viscosity. In winter, the temperature is low. If engine oil with excessively high viscosity is used, it will lead to insufficient fluidity, increased engine wear, and greater engine resistance. In summer, the temperature is high. If engine oil with excessively low viscosity is used, it will result in insufficient lubrication. 2. Usage differences: When the temperature is low, the kinematic viscosity of the engine oil will increase, which may cause difficulty in starting the vehicle or increased fuel consumption. When the temperature is high, the kinematic viscosity of the engine oil will decrease, reducing the lifespan of the engine oil. Therefore, the kinematic viscosity of engine oil used in winter should generally be chosen to be lower, which is commonly referred to as appearing thinner. As for engine oil used in summer, a higher kinematic viscosity should be selected, making the oil appear thicker.
