What does 'yield to the right' mean?

The 'yield to the right' rule stipulates that when a motor vehicle passes through an intersection without traffic lights or police command, it should stop to observe the situation before proceeding. If there are vehicles approaching from the right lane, the vehicle on the right should be given the right of way first. Motor vehicle traffic regulations: Article 44: On roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction, the left lane is the fast lane, and the right lane is the slow lane. Motor vehicles driving in the fast lane should maintain the speed specified for the fast lane. If they cannot reach the specified speed, they should move to the slow lane. Motorcycles should drive in the farthest right lane. If there are traffic signs indicating speed, drivers should follow the indicated speed. When a vehicle in the slow lane overtakes the vehicle in front, it may temporarily use the fast lane. Exceptions to the 'yield to the right' principle: On highway acceleration lanes, auxiliary roads, and ramps, vehicles on the main road have priority because the main road has higher traffic volume and speed. Following the 'yield to the right' principle in these areas would significantly reduce traffic efficiency and increase the risk of accidents, so the principle does not apply here. At intersections, vehicles turning right must yield to vehicles going straight, and right-turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-going vehicles.

Can In-Car Sounds Be Heard When a Dash Cam Is Installed in the Car?

Dash cams can record audio, so sounds inside the car can be heard. Currently, most dash cams on the market come with audio recording functionality, which is a standard feature for the majority of models. Additionally, some dash cams also offer features like GPS tracking, navigation, and parking surveillance. To ensure privacy, the audio recording function can be disabled in the settings menu. Below is more information about dash cams: Dash cams can record the road conditions in front of the vehicle, while some models with dual lenses can record both front and rear views. In addition to the front-facing camera, these devices include a rear camera to capture footage behind the vehicle. Dash cams consist of components such as a microprocessor, data storage, and data communication interfaces. If the data communication interface is enabled, the recorded video footage and in-car audio can be transmitted in real-time via a wireless network to a designated terminal. While recording driving data, dash cams also automatically search for and connect to wireless networks. Once connected, the stored audio and video files may be hacked without the owner's knowledge, potentially leading to data leaks. For critical in-car dash cams, modifications can be made to disable network connectivity ports, install encryption software, and regularly check the memory card data. These measures can help prevent accidental wireless network connections that may result in data breaches.

Do regular tires consume more fuel than snow tires?

Snow tires consume more fuel than all-season tires. Snow tires have a larger contact area with the ground compared to regular tires, resulting in a higher friction coefficient. Friction = friction coefficient × pressure. Greater friction leads to higher fuel consumption. Snow tires use special compounds to increase friction on icy and snowy roads. Their advantage lies in improving traction and safety on snowy and icy surfaces. The term 'snow tires' is actually a colloquial name; the correct term should be 'winter tires.' It is well known that the rubber compound of standard all-season tires becomes harder as temperatures drop, leading to reduced grip in winter. In contrast, the rubber compound of snow tires behaves oppositely. Snow tires have significantly more small grooves—at least 1,000 compared to around 200 in regular tires. In terms of material, snow tires are softer than regular tires, primarily due to special tread compounds. For example, silica-mixed rubber compounds allow tighter contact with smooth ice surfaces, generating greater friction than all-season tires, thereby significantly improving vehicle control and safety on icy roads. Even in low temperatures, snow tires remain soft, whereas regular tires harden as temperatures decrease.

What is the penalty for driving a restricted vehicle for a whole day?

Penalties for driving a restricted vehicle for a whole day vary by region as there is no nationwide standard. Typically, penalties for violating the restriction include a warning, a fine, or a 3-point deduction on the driver's license. Some regions only issue warnings, some only impose fines, and others both fine and deduct points. The number of penalties for violating the restriction within a single day also differs by region. Some areas impose only one penalty per day (e.g., Xi'an), while others allow cumulative penalties (e.g., Chengdu). The vehicle restriction policy, based on license plate numbers, is a long-term measure to ensure smooth traffic and improve air quality. It aims to alleviate traffic congestion caused by rapid vehicle growth and reduce vehicle emissions, keeping air pollution levels within a reasonable range.

What to Do If You've Been Deducted 200 Points for Driving?

Driver's license points are penalties for traffic violations committed by drivers. Based on the severity of the traffic violation, points can range from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 12 per offense, with the points cycle lasting until the next inspection period. If a driver accumulates 12 points in one cycle, they lose their driving privileges. To restore their driving privileges, they must attend at least 7 days of traffic safety education and pass an exam. If the driver's license points are insufficient, another person's license can be used to deduct points. If no substitute license is available, the driver must retake the course and pass the theory exam (Subject 1). Driving during this period is considered unlicensed driving, so it is not advisable to take the risk.

How many minutes of parking in a no-parking zone constitutes a violation?

Parking in a no-parking zone is considered a violation regardless of the duration. If parking in a temporary stopping zone, the duration allowed before it is considered a violation varies by region due to different enforcement standards. Generally, the permitted stopping time ranges between 3 to 5 minutes; exceeding this time constitutes illegal parking. Areas where parking is prohibited include: 1. Sections with no-parking signs or markings, road sections with separation facilities between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or sidewalks, crosswalks, and construction zones; 2. Intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads less than 4 meters wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, and sections within 50 meters of these locations; 3. Areas in front of bus stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants, or fire stations, and within 30 meters of these locations, except when using these facilities.
