Is it allowed to drive right-hand drive vehicles in China?

Normally it is not allowed, but there are exceptions. Since China is a right-hand traffic country where overtaking is done from the left, motor vehicles are required to have left-hand steering wheels. This is because overtaking from the left only requires moving one-third of the vehicle's width to observe the road ahead, whereas overtaking from the right would require moving the entire vehicle width before the driver can see the road conditions ahead. The following are introductions to special circumstances: Introduction 1: Vehicles legally registered by foreign diplomatic missions in China. Introduction 2: Vehicles with license plates from Hong Kong and Macau regions can apply to the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Authority for mainland license plates, allowing them to enter the mainland. Introduction 3: In China, regardless of whether the vehicle is left-hand or right-hand drive, the same traffic regulations must be followed without exception.

Is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price the Same as the On-the-Road Price?

The two are not the same. Here is an introduction to the suggested retail price and the on-the-road price: Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price: This refers to the selling price of a product to consumers. Due to the application of value-added tax, consumption tax, and tariffs, some sellers convert the price-exclusive tax into a price-inclusive tax, artificially inflating profits and causing the product price to be abnormally high. To curb such practices, manufacturers provide a reference selling price after considering various factors, known as the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. On-the-Road Price: The on-the-road price refers to all the costs incurred in purchasing a car up to the point of registration. In addition to the ex-factory price, the on-the-road price generally includes purchase tax, vehicle and vessel usage tax, car insurance fees, and registration fees. If the car is purchased on loan, the on-the-road price also includes 4S store service fees, GPS fees, car loan interest, and other expenses.

Does Honking the Horn Result in Penalty Points?

Prohibited honking incurs fines but no penalty points: Introduction 1: Many cities have long had regulations prohibiting honking in urban areas, which technically include penalty points. However, enforcement is practically impossible, relying solely on individual compliance, rendering these regulations largely ineffective. Introduction 2: According to Article 62 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," drivers are prohibited from honking in designated no-honking zones or road sections. Unnecessary honking not only disrupts citizens' daily commutes but also creates discordant noise in civilized urban environments, making enforcement through surveillance crucial. Introduction 3: Honking detection systems operate by first capturing and identifying sounds via a microphone array, then electronically recording the violation, and finally displaying it in real-time on electronic signage. This system can accurately distinguish between vehicle horn sounds, electric bike horns, engine noises, braking sounds, and other ambient noise.

What Causes the Car to Shudder and Jerk When Starting in First Gear?

The reasons for the car body shuddering and experiencing jerking when starting in first gear may include poor contact of the clutch lining, weakened damping spring elasticity, or uneven elasticity of the clutch pressure springs. Below are the specific causes and solutions: Weakened Damping Spring Elasticity: Reduced elasticity of the clutch torsional damping spring can cause the clutch to shudder when engaging. If it is confirmed that the issue lies with the torsional damping spring, the spring should be replaced promptly. Poor Contact of the Clutch Lining: Surface hardening of the clutch lining or the presence of adhesive substances can easily lead to clutch shuddering. Any foreign objects on the clutch lining should be promptly addressed. Uneven Elasticity of Pressure Springs: Uneven elasticity of the clutch pressure springs, inconsistent adjustment of the release levers, or an uneven end of the diaphragm spring release fingers can result in asynchronous pressure application timing, uneven force distribution on the pressure plate, and even tilting of the pressure plate. This leads to poor contact between the driving and driven plates, causing clutch shuddering. In such cases, it is advisable to visit a repair shop for inspection and replacement.

What Causes the Beeping Sound in a Car?

Here is an introduction to the beeping sound in a car: Seatbelt not fastened: If the seatbelts in the front passenger and driver seats are not fastened, the car will emit a beeping sound as a reminder. Handbrake not fully released: A beeping sound will occur while the car is in motion. Multimedia function not turned off: If the car has an automatic WIFI search function, it will emit a beeping sound when it fails to connect. Engine temperature too high: When the engine temperature is too high, the car will beep. The dashboard warning light does not indicate the coolant level in the radiator but only shows the temperature. If the engine temperature warning light comes on, it means there is insufficient antifreeze in the radiator. Low tire pressure: The car has electronic components that monitor the tires. If a tire is leaking or the pressure is too low, the system will send a signal to the alarm system.
