According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the demerit points (deduction) are: 0 points; the fine amount is: 100 to 200 yuan; other penalties: verbal warning. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, classified according to the general principles of the traffic law.

The first digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the classification code in the Road Traffic Law; The second digit: Demerit point classification code, indicating the classification code for traffic violation demerit points; The third and fourth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of the behavior within the same behavior classification. For example: 13035—"1" indicates motor vehicle behavior, the second digit "3" indicates 3 points will be deducted, and the following "035" indicates the fifth item of the third clause in the 3-point deduction category. Behavior classification code violation descriptions: Codes starting with 1 indicate motor vehicle traffic, e.g., 1003 Codes starting with 2 indicate non-motor vehicle traffic, e.g., 2002 Codes starting with 3 indicate pedestrian or passenger traffic, e.g., 3030 Codes starting with 4 indicate highway traffic, e.g., 4002 Codes starting with 5 indicate other regulations, e.g., 5005 Codes starting with 7 indicate implementation rules of provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities directly under the central government, e.g., 7008 Codes starting with 8 indicate local regulations of cities (prefectures, autonomous prefectures, or leagues), e.g., 8606 There are four common methods for motor vehicle violation inquiries: Visit the office halls of traffic police branches in various districts and counties to query through touch-screen terminals; Log in to the external service website of the public security traffic management bureau of each city, find the vehicle violation inquiry section, enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to query; Call the inquiry hotline (area code + 114); Use the Traffic Management 12123 app client (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to query.

Do Motorcycles Have Gear Indicators?

Currently, many motorcycles on the market are equipped with corresponding gear indicators. On one hand, this considers that beginners riding motorcycles for the first time may not understand the relationship between gears and RPM, helping them quickly master the skills of riding a motorcycle. On the other hand, gear indicators can assist motorcyclists in controlling the speed of their bikes. Pre-ride Inspection: Check the condition of the motorcycle, including the headlights, turn signals, horn, handlebars, etc., to ensure they are functioning properly. Helmets are legally required protective gear, and it is advisable to wear brightly colored clothing. Gloves not only reduce the impact of sweaty hands on riding but also provide better grip. Do not ride in slippers. Drunk driving and unlicensed driving are strictly prohibited. Riding Precautions: Ride on the right side of the road and avoid sidewalks. Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front, following at the right rear corner of the leading vehicle. When overtaking, pass from the left side of the vehicle ahead; avoid overtaking from the right or between two parallel vehicles.

Can the two replaced car doors still have paint protection film applied?

Replaced car doors can have paint protection film applied. The functions of paint protection film: It can effectively protect the car's paint surface from various road debris, acid rain, ultraviolet rays, bird droppings, oil stains, scratches, etc. The paint protection film completely separates the paint from the air, ensuring that oxygen in the air does not oxidize the paint, and also serves to protect the paint. Precautions after applying paint protection film: Try to avoid washing the car within the first three days after application. The newly applied paint protection film and the car's paint surface undergo a bonding process. If the bonding is not fully completed when washing the car, there may be a possibility of water seeping into the edges and corners. Additionally, car washes typically use high-pressure water jets, and under such external forces, it may cause the film to peel or lift at the edges, or even completely detach.

Under what circumstances does the new Cruze need to replace spark plugs?

The specific situations when the new Cruze needs to replace spark plugs: 1. Weak acceleration: If the engine exhibits abnormal shaking during acceleration, it might be due to degraded spark plug performance. Poor spark plug performance can significantly reduce the engine's ignition efficiency, leading to weak acceleration. 2. Idle shaking: If the car engine shakes noticeably during idle operation, it could indicate a problem with the spark plugs, which should be inspected or replaced promptly. This issue might also be caused by aging engine mounts or excessive carbon buildup in the intake manifold. 3. Difficulty starting: If the car engine struggles to start, it points to an issue with the ignition system, possibly faulty spark plugs. If the engine stalls without reason, it might indicate that more than two cylinders have stopped working. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the hood, lift the engine's plastic cover, and remove the high-voltage ignition wires. Mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Place the new spark plugs into the spark plug holes, hand-tighten them a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten them further. Reinstall the high-voltage ignition wires in the correct firing order and secure the cover.
