Shifting into neutral while driving refers to the state where the gear lever of a motor vehicle is not engaged in any forward or reverse gear, completely disconnecting the transmission from the drive wheels. Here is some relevant information: 1. Gear allocation: Generally, automatic transmission vehicles have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L. 2. Automatic principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume over 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears a transmission has, the more fuel-efficient it tends to be.

Why does the door make noise when opening and closing?

The reasons for abnormal noises from car doors include: loose interior panels or audio systems, rusted door hinges, and aged door sealing strips. For the issue of loose interior panels or audio systems, you can check by shaking them manually or pressing on the noisy area while driving. If the noise disappears, simply re-secure the affected part. Rusted door hinges will produce noise when the door is opened or closed. The solution is to clean the hinges and apply some grease. If the door sealing strips have aged due to prolonged lack of maintenance, it can be troublesome. The best method is to purchase a bottle of silicone grease for self-maintenance. Apply the silicone grease to the sealing strip, let it absorb for an hour, and then wipe it off.

What does a yellow dashed line on the road indicate?

A yellow dashed line at the center of the road is a marking used to separate opposing traffic flows, typically painted along the road's midline. The yellow dashed line indicates that crossing is permitted, allowing drivers to overtake or make turns when it is safe to do so. The differences between yellow and white lines are as follows: Yellow lines: Yellow lines are used to separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions, usually painted down the middle of the road like a divider, splitting the road into two directions: Whether it's a single or double yellow line, if it's solid, crossing is strictly prohibited. Drivers should not cross the line unless absolutely necessary. Whether it's a single or double yellow line, if it's dashed, overtaking or making U-turns is allowed when safe. Single yellow lines are generally used on roads with up to four lanes (including bicycle lanes), while double yellow lines are used on wider roads. White lines: White lines are used to separate different lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. Dashed white lines indicate that lane changes are permitted, while solid white lines mean lane changes are not allowed and drivers should not switch lanes arbitrarily.

Can I Register My Car in a Different Location?

It is possible to register a newly purchased car in a different location.

Below are the required documents and procedures for registering a new car in a different location: Documents and procedures for registering a new car in a different location: Original and photocopy of the vehicle certificate of conformity, original purchase invoice (in triplicate), owner's ID card, and insurance policy. According to national regulations, as long as the vehicle has a legitimate invoice, certificate of conformity, purchase tax, and compulsory traffic insurance, a new car purchased from any legitimate auto market nationwide can be registered at the owner's place of residence. When registering the car, the owner only needs to provide: Original and photocopy of the certificate of conformity, original purchase invoice, purchase tax, owner's ID card, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. Purchasing a car from a different location inevitably involves driving it back. If the car is not insured, any accidents during this process will result in all losses being borne by the owner. Therefore, whether purchasing locally or from a different location, it is essential to obtain insurance first, but for cars purchased from a different location, it is crucial to obtain local insurance.
