Car wipers are the black elongated components located on the front windshield of a vehicle, playing a crucial role in driving safety. During rainy weather, falling raindrops can obstruct the view through the windshield. Car wipers are accessories designed to sweep away rainwater from the windshield, enabling the driver to maintain clear visibility of the road ahead. The driving mechanisms of car wipers can be categorized into mechanical, vacuum, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric types. Modern vehicles predominantly utilize electric wipers. Typically, a car wiper consists of a motor, crank, linkage, wiper arm, and blade. Its advantages include a simple structure and ease of control.

Is the Landing Price the Naked Car Price or the Full Payment?

The landing price refers to the total cost of purchasing a car. The landing price of a car = naked car price + vehicle purchase tax + insurance fees (commercial insurance + compulsory traffic insurance) + vehicle and vessel usage tax + inspection and license plate fees. Of course, you can freely choose to either take a loan or make a full payment in the end. Calculation method for the new vehicle purchase tax: Naked car price ÷ 1.17 × 10% (the current vehicle purchase tax rate is 10%). Note: The taxable price for taxpayers purchasing vehicles for personal use does not include VAT. Precautions for paying the purchase tax: Since the purchase price on the special sales invoice for motor vehicles includes VAT, when calculating the vehicle purchase tax amount, the 17% VAT must first be excluded, i.e., the vehicle purchase tax calculation price = invoice price ÷ 1.17, and then the vehicle purchase tax is calculated at a 10% rate.

How Many Points Are Deducted for an Extra Child in a 7-Seater Car?

Carrying one extra child in a 7-seater car results in a deduction of 3 points. Below is an introduction to the hazards of driving an overloaded vehicle: 1. Damage to road infrastructure: Overloaded vehicles exert loads far exceeding the design capacity of roads and bridges, leading to pavement damage, bridge fractures, and significantly shortened service life. 2. Increased danger: Overloaded vehicles have greater mass and inertia, resulting in longer braking distances and higher risks. Severe overloading can cause tire blowouts, sudden swerving, brake failure, rollovers, and other accidents due to excessive tire load and deformation. Additionally, overloading affects the vehicle's steering performance, increasing the likelihood of accidents due to loss of steering control. 3. Impact on traffic flow: Overloaded vehicles cannot maintain normal speeds, occupying lanes for extended periods and directly affecting road traffic flow.

What are the reasons for a car door handle being difficult to open?

Here are the specific reasons why a car door handle may be difficult to open: 1. The central locking system is engaged: When the door cannot be opened, you can use the car key to unlock and then lock it again. Locate the central locking button on the left front door trim panel of the driver's side and press the unlock button. 2. The child lock is engaged: Most rear doors of vehicles have a child lock. Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the child lock to the off position. 3. The door lock cable is malfunctioning: A malfunctioning cable directly affects the lock mechanism, making it difficult to open. 4. Deformation of the door hinge or lock post: When the door is subjected to external force, it may cause the door hinge or lock post to deform, which is another reason why the door cannot be opened. In this case, the door and hinge must be disassembled together and replaced with new hinges and lock posts to restore normal door operation.

Can a smaller spare tire be used?

A smaller spare tire can be used. It is almost an unwritten international convention to have a smaller spare tire. In Europe and America, some cars not only have smaller spare tires but some models even mark them with different colors. Smaller tires occupy less space, weigh less, and can save some gasoline in the long run when carried daily. Types of car spare tires: 1. Full-size spare tire: The specifications of a full-size spare tire are exactly the same as the other four tires on the car, and it can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. 2. Non-full-size spare tire: The diameter and width of this type of spare tire are slightly smaller than the other four tires, so it can only be used as a temporary replacement and must be used on non-driving wheels, with a maximum speed not exceeding 80km/h. 3. Run-flat tire: Also known as a safety tire (run-flat tire), commonly referred to as a "bulletproof tire," the industry directly translates it as "tire that can run without air."

Can the car purchase intention deposit be refunded at any time?

Can the car purchase intention deposit be refunded at any time? The car purchase intention deposit can be refunded at any time, but it is best to keep the receipt. Understand the terms when buying a car: When purchasing car insurance, you must carefully review the insurance terms (regardless of what insurance product you buy), clearly understand the coverage of the car insurance, and under what circumstances the insurance company will not assume the liability for claims. Buy a car according to your needs: When buying car insurance, car owners should not blindly pursue low prices, as this may result in incomplete coverage for their car. In the event of an accident, their losses could be greater. Understand the required insurance for car purchase: Car insurance now includes compulsory traffic insurance and commercial car insurance. Compulsory traffic insurance is a mandatory type of insurance that must be purchased; without it, you cannot drive on the road. Commercial car insurance serves as a supplement to compulsory traffic insurance and is not mandatory.
