I've seen many people online asking about the mph on the dashboard. As a seasoned driver with over 20 years of experience, let me explain this thing. mph stands for miles per hour, which is different from the kilometers per hour (km/h) we're familiar with, mainly used in the UK and the US. You often see this unit when renting a car in the U.S. or in older imported vehicles. Don't underestimate it—confusing the two can lead to speeding tickets. For example, 70 mph on the highway is roughly 113 km/h. If you mistake it for km/h and speed, you'll get a ticket. Some modern cars allow you to switch the unit in the dashboard settings with just a few clicks. I remember one time abroad when I almost got into trouble because I wasn't paying attention. Beginners should familiarize themselves with the conversion—safety first. In the city, driving at 30 mph is already quite fast, so stay alert and adjust your speed as needed.

Can Motorcycle Keys Be Duplicated?

Most lost motorcycle keys can be duplicated. The owner can drive the motorcycle to a professional locksmith to have the ignition switch removed, and then a new key can be made. If the key is not duplicated, the only option is to replace the lock. Since the motorcycle's fuel tank cap and ignition switch use the same key, both locks would need to be replaced in this case. Pay attention to the key material: Some key blanks may appear to be made of metal but are actually of very poor quality. They may break after a short period of use, even before the teeth wear out. Therefore, it is essential to carefully check whether the key is made of pure metal. Identifying quality: The quality of a key can be distinguished by simply dropping it lightly onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor or glass tabletop. A good metal blank will produce a crisp metallic sound, while a poor-quality one will make a dull, muffled noise similar to the sound of plastic hitting a hard surface.

Where can I check the driving license photo?

You can inquire at the vehicle management office or through the National Public Security Traffic Management Information System. Here is more information about the driving license: 1. Brief description: The motor vehicle driving license is the legal document that permits the vehicle to drive on roads within China. The driving license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front side of the main page is the signed certificate core, and the back side is the vehicle photo, which is sealed with a plastic cover. The supplementary page is the signed certificate core. 2. Validity period: The validity period of the driving license depends on the age of the vehicle. Taking a passenger car as an example, a new car requires inspection every two years within the first 6 years, meaning the driving license is valid for two years. Between 6 and 15 years, the inspection is required annually, so the driving license is valid for one year.

What Causes Jerking in Motorcycles?

There are many reasons why a motorcycle may experience jerking, which are generally caused by issues related to fuel supply, carburetor, electrical circuits, or the air filter. The problem should be inspected and addressed accordingly. Fuel supply issues: A slightly clogged fuel tank cap or fuel filter can cause insufficient fuel supply when accelerating. In such cases, the fuel tank cap or fuel filter should be cleaned thoroughly. Carburetor issues: If the carburetor is slightly clogged, it can also lead to poor fuel supply. Cleaning the carburetor usually resolves the problem. Electrical circuit issues: Check the amount of carbon buildup on the spark plug. Excessive carbon buildup may indicate that the carburetor's air-fuel mixture is too rich, leading to incomplete combustion. In this case, adjust the carburetor's air-fuel mixture ratio and remove the carbon deposits. Check if the air filter is clogged. A clogged air filter restricts airflow, which can cause an overly rich air-fuel mixture, resulting in incomplete combustion and reduced engine power. If the filter is clogged, replace the air filter or clean the filter element thoroughly.
