The vehicle will be temporarily impounded, and a fine equivalent to twice the compulsory traffic insurance premium will be imposed. If the owner or manager of the vehicle reinstates the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance as required, the vehicle should be promptly returned.

The day before yesterday, I was too busy with work to renew my car insurance, and as a result, I was stopped by traffic police at the highway entrance. They immediately checked my insurance status using their police device and issued a 200 yuan fine without hesitation. The worst part was that my car was impounded on the spot. The police wouldn’t allow a friend to drive it away—I had to handle everything myself: first, go to the insurance company to reinstate the compulsory traffic insurance, then take the new policy to the traffic police station to settle the violation, and finally pay the parking fee at the designated lot to retrieve my car. The whole process took me two full days, and my car even got a scratch. It’s a real reminder to set a phone alarm and renew your insurance at least a month in advance to avoid such hassles.

What is the purpose of the S gear?

S gear is the sports mode of a car (S stands for sport). In S gear sports mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing will be delayed. Here is an introduction to the S gear: Introduction: It keeps the engine at high RPM for a longer time, allowing the car to move at high RPM in lower gears for an extended period, thereby achieving greater torque output and acceleration. Precautions: Since the S gear only delays upshifting without changing other working conditions, it will inevitably increase the load on the transmission in a short time, accompanied by a rise in temperature, and the resulting wear will also intensify. Therefore, try not to use the S gear for a long time.

What Causes Engine Block Cracking?

Engine block cracking can be caused by the following reasons: Only adding water to the radiator without antifreeze: When the external temperature is too low, the water inside the engine block freezes and expands, causing the block to crack. Adding excessive cold water directly to an overheated engine or splashing cold water on it: This can cause thermal shock to the engine block, leading to cracks. Severe impacts can also cause the engine block to crack. Relevant information about automotive engines is as follows: Introduction: The automotive engine is the power-generating device of a vehicle, serving as the heart of the car. It determines the vehicle's power performance, fuel economy, stability, and environmental friendliness. Common gasoline and diesel engines are both types of reciprocating piston internal combustion engines. Classification: Depending on the power source, automotive engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric motors for electric vehicles, hybrid systems, and other types.

How to Deal with Slight Water Intrusion in Car Taillights?

For relatively minor cases of water intrusion inside the taillights, drivers need not worry excessively. After the lights have been on for a period of time, the moisture will dissipate through the vent tube along with the heat, which generally does not damage the headlights or electrical circuits. Relevant information about car lights is as follows: Introduction: Car lights refer to the lamps on the vehicle, serving as tools for road illumination during nighttime driving and as signaling devices to indicate various vehicle movements. Reverse Lights: The reverse lights automatically turn on when the driver shifts into reverse gear. These are white, transparent lights primarily used to alert vehicles behind that the car is reversing.

What Causes Lack of Power in Automatic Transmission Cars When Climbing Steep Slopes?

Automatic transmission cars generally experience lack of power when climbing slopes due to the following reasons: The gear is too high; you should shift to a lower gear when climbing. The reason for converting the vehicle to gas; switching from gas to gasoline when climbing will likely make it much faster. The idle speed is too low or unstable. It is recommended that for older vehicles, gasoline should be chosen whether on low-speed or high-speed roads. Relevant information about automatic transmission is as follows: Introduction: Automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. Automatic Principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears there are, the more fuel-efficient the vehicle is.

Should You Fill Up a New Car's Tank Completely?

Because the temperature of fuel varies when the vehicle is parked versus when it is in motion, the seasonal and environmental conditions under which the vehicle operates differ. If the fuel tank is overfilled, gasoline may expand due to heat and overflow from the tank opening, which is unsafe. Typically, the fuel tank should have a 5~7% expansion space reserved to ensure driving safety. If the tank is too full, there will be no space left at the top of the tank, especially in summer when gasoline vaporizes. This can lead to a lack of space for the vapor, potentially causing fuel choking. If the vehicle's fuel tank is overfilled (visible fuel at the tank opening), the tank's vent will be submerged in gasoline, forcing liquid fuel into the carbon canister and causing damage to it.
