Emergency lane photography refers to the prohibition of occupying the emergency lane on highways or elevated roads. To prevent such occupancy, cameras are installed on highways to monitor and capture images at all times. The emergency lane on a highway is adjacent to the right-hand traffic lane, with a width of at least 3 meters, including the hard shoulder, and an effective length of 30 meters or more, providing sufficient space for vehicles to pull over when needed. In emergency situations, vehicles are allowed to drive or park on the emergency lane. However, if a vehicle uses the emergency lane under non-emergency circumstances, the owner will be penalized according to relevant regulations.

Taking photos on the emergency lane refers to stopping and taking pictures on the highway's emergency shoulder, which is actually illegal. I remember when I used to drive, I often saw people parking there to take photos of the scenery or selfies, thinking it was fine, only to be caught by traffic cameras and fined. This shoulder is only for temporary stops due to vehicle breakdowns or accidents. Using it for photos under normal circumstances is not only dangerous but also obstructs other vehicles, increasing the risk of rear-end collisions. From a safety perspective, with high speeds on the highway, if someone gets out to take photos and a car fails to avoid them in time, the consequences could be dire. I advise everyone not to stop on the emergency lane for convenience when traveling. If you really want to take photos, find a safe rest area or exit to park. Don’t underestimate this habit—following the rules ensures everyone's travel safety.

How Many Years Should Tires Be Replaced?

Tires generally need to be replaced after 4-5 years or 60,000-80,000 kilometers. How to determine if tires need replacement: When many fine cracks appear on the tire surface, which typically occur after about three years of use, regular inspections should be conducted to monitor any changes in the cracks. If the cracks become too long, too deep, or appear on the sidewall, the tires should be replaced. Incorrect tire usage: Both overinflation and underinflation can damage tires and affect the vehicle's driving performance. Frequent acceleration and sudden braking during driving will accelerate tire wear, so it is advisable to slow down and drive cautiously on roads with complex conditions.

What Causes an Air Pump to Fail to Build Pressure?

An air pump's failure to build pressure can be caused by motor phase loss, damaged pump seals, or excessively low pressure limits. The specific reasons are as follows: Motor Phase Loss: Motor phase loss prevents the motor from delivering its rated power, thereby limiting the air pump's maximum output pressure (as pump pressure increases, motor load gradually rises, and power consumption increases accordingly). In this case, the electrical circuit should be inspected. Damaged Air Pump Seals: Particularly, piston head seal damage can cause air leakage between high- and low-pressure chambers. Most common air pumps are piston-type, resembling hydraulic cylinder structures. The piston head is equipped with seals, which over time can fail due to normal wear or aging, allowing air to bypass between high- and low-pressure chambers and preventing pressure buildup. This requires disassembling the air compressor and replacing the seals. This is the most common cause of air pump pressure failure. Excessively Low Pressure Limit Setting: For safety, pressure relief valves are installed at the output to prevent dangerous overpressure situations. If the valve's pressure setting is too low, the pump will automatically shut off each time pressure reaches the limit, manifesting as an inability to build pressure. However, the pump continues to operate normally otherwise.

How is the validity period of a driver's license regulated?

Here are the specific regulations regarding the validity period of a driver's license: Within one year before expiration: The driver should apply for a license renewal at the vehicle management office within 90 days (three months) before the expiration of the driver's license. The license can still be renewed normally within one year after expiration. Between one and three years after expiration: The driver's license will be revoked, and the driver needs to retake the subject one exam to obtain a new license. If the driver's license has been expired for more than three years, it will be directly invalidated. The initial renewal period for a driver's license is 6 years. If no demerit points have reached 12 points in any cycle during these 6 years, a 10-year validity period driver's license will be issued upon renewal. If there is a case where 12 or more demerit points have been recorded within a year, a 6-year validity period driver's license will still be issued. When the 10-year driver's license expires, if no demerit points have reached 12 points in any cycle, a long-term valid driver's license can be issued.

Which Button to Press for Foggy Car Windows?

Causes of foggy car windows: There is a certain temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. If the temperatures inside and outside the car are different, the surface with the lower temperature will have a lower saturated vapor pressure than the surrounding environment, causing moisture to gather on the glass surface and form tiny droplets, resulting in fog. Methods to defog car windows: For manual air conditioning, turn on the front window defogging mode, set the fan speed to maximum, turn on the A/C switch, and then set the temperature to the lowest. Wait a moment, and the fog on the windows will disappear. Some models are equipped with rear window electric heating and external rearview mirrors; simply press the switch, and the fog will clear in about a minute. For automatic air conditioning, generally just press the one-touch defrost button, set the fan speed to maximum, and turn on the external circulation. The fog on the car windows will disappear shortly. Press the defog button, turn on the A/C switch, set the temperature to the lowest, and turn on the external circulation to defog. Both cold and warm air can be used to defog car windows, but warm air is slower than cold air. The most effective method is to use cold air, as it blows dry cold air directly onto the glass, preventing water vapor from condensing and achieving defogging. The method for warm air defogging is the same as cold air, but note that warm air should not be used on rainy days, as it may initially worsen the fog. Always use external circulation when defogging car windows. Air conditioning cooling: Use the air conditioning's dehumidification function to reduce air humidity and remove fog. In summer, especially when multiple people enter the car, if the air conditioning is not turned on promptly, the high humidity from exhaled breath can quickly cause the windshield to fog up. In this case, turn on the air conditioning to blow cold air onto the windshield, using the dehumidification function to quickly remove the fog. If the humidity is too high and the air conditioning is ineffective, slightly open a window to rapidly reduce the humidity inside the cabin. Combining this with the air conditioning will yield faster results. Air conditioning heating: Use the method of reducing the temperature difference to remove fog. In winter, blow warm air onto the glass to quickly raise the temperature of the front windshield, reducing the temperature difference between the inside and outside surfaces and preventing excessive fogging. However, note that the rear and side windows heat up more slowly, so it takes longer to completely remove the fog. Whether using automatic or manual air conditioning, turning it on helps with dehumidification. Avoid setting the air conditioning temperature to the coldest setting, as prolonged use may cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up. Applying anti-fog spray or other preventive measures: Spray a small amount of defogging agent onto the car windows and wipe it clean to remove dirt and stains. While polishing the glass, a thin transparent protective film forms, effectively preventing moisture from condensing on the glass and forming fog. This is especially useful in cold winters. Alternatives to defogging agents include dish soap, soapy water, glycerin, alcohol, or saline solution. After applying, let it dry and then wipe off excess residue with chamois or a soft dry cloth. This will keep the windows fog-free for several days. Opening windows for convection: If the fog inside the car is not too thick, you can open the side windows to allow air convection between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and gradually dissipating the fog. The principle of this method is the same as using cold air from the air conditioning. However, the drawbacks of opening windows for convection are obvious: it cannot be used during rain or snow, on highways, or when the fog is too heavy.
