The vehicle's license plate light is malfunctioning and needs to be checked. Get out of the car and check the rear of the vehicle. If the license plate light is not working, it is usually caused by a burnt-out bulb or a short circuit in the wiring. Location of the license plate light: The license plate light is located above the license plate at the rear of the vehicle. Its main function is to illuminate the license plate. The switch for the license plate light is usually integrated with the vehicle's parking lights. When the parking lights are turned on, the license plate light will illuminate, along with the parking lights on both sides of the front and rear of the vehicle, the dashboard lights, and the interior button lights. Relevant regulations: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, a malfunctioning license plate light on a motor vehicle is considered non-compliant with safety standards and may result in a fine. Before driving, it is essential to check all the vehicle's lights.

Checking the license plate light means inspecting whether the illumination lights above or near the rear license plate of the car are functioning properly. As someone who drives frequently, I find these lights particularly crucial at night, ensuring the license plate remains clearly visible. It could be troublesome if a following vehicle fails to see it clearly, potentially leading to an accident. During my last annual inspection, I was reminded because the light wasn’t working—fortunately, I replaced the bulb in time. Possible causes include a burnt-out bulb, a blown fuse, or aging wiring. Checking it yourself is simple: find a dark place and see if the light turns on. Regular checks can help avoid fines and safety risks, especially when driving in rainy or foggy conditions. Safe driving starts with small details—don’t overlook this minor aspect.

Hey buddy, checking the license plate light is just about seeing if that little light at the back of your car is working. I always pay attention to this when driving at night, as it illuminates the license plate to avoid being missed by cameras. Last year I overlooked a burnt-out light and got warned by the police on the highway, almost getting points deducted. It's actually very simple: just glance at the light when starting the car every night. It might not be working due to a burnt-out bulb or loose wiring. I recommend checking it when washing your car. Replacing a new light is cheap and takes just a few minutes, saving money and giving peace of mind. Don't be careless in daily driving; proper maintenance makes for smoother rides.

Is carrying Freon in a vehicle considered hazardous material?

It is not classified as hazardous material. Overview of Freon: Freon is a common refrigerant with many varieties, including R22, R32, R134a, etc. Freon is typically a gas at room temperature and pressure, with a slight aromatic odor. Under low temperature and high pressure, it appears as a transparent liquid. It can mix in any proportion with halogenated hydrocarbons, monohydric alcohols, or other organic solvents, and different Freon refrigerants are also mutually soluble. Hazards of Freon: Freon is a very significant greenhouse gas. Although its atmospheric concentration is notably lower than other greenhouse gases, its greenhouse effect is 3,400 to 15,000 times that of carbon dioxide. Large-scale emissions critically impact the vertical temperature structure of the atmosphere and its radiative balance, leading to abnormal climate changes and posing a severe threat to Earth's ecological security.

What are the penalties and demerit points for driving without insurance?

You will be required to pay a fine equivalent to twice the premium of the compulsory traffic insurance, and your driver's license will be deducted 1 point. Below is more information about car insurance: 1. Definition: Car insurance is a type of commercial insurance that covers liability for personal injury or property damage caused by natural disasters or accidents involving motor vehicles. 2. Compulsory Traffic Insurance (CTI): CTI is a mandatory national insurance that every vehicle owner must purchase. If you drive without CTI, once caught, your vehicle will be impounded (until you purchase CTI and place the insurance sticker in the designated position to retrieve your car), you will be fined, and corresponding demerit points will be deducted. CTI primarily provides coverage for personal injury and property damage to victims (excluding the vehicle's occupants and the insured) in traffic accidents. However, the compensation limit of CTI is limited and may not cover large-scale personal injury accidents.

Why Are Off-Road Vehicles Not Afraid of Water?

Off-road vehicles have higher air intake and exhaust ports, giving them a certain wading capability. When leaving the factory, off-road vehicles come with a specified wading depth, typically around 500 millimeters. Related details are as follows: Due to their body-on-frame construction, hardcore off-road vehicles generally have a greater wading depth compared to urban SUVs and sedans. However, it is crucial to avoid water levels exceeding the bumper. If water enters the engine's air intake, it can cause severe internal impacts, leading to immediate engine failure. Additionally, when driving through water, do not reduce throttle or stall the engine. If water enters the exhaust pipe, it can be sucked back into the engine due to the engine's suction force, posing a risk of engine damage. Modifications can be made to enhance wading capability. Most modifications start with waterproof sealing of electrical components and connectors, followed by relocating the intake piping and air filter outside the engine bay to raise their position. It should be noted that after installing a raised air intake, the vehicle's power may be somewhat affected, and fuel consumption will increase significantly.
