Center-axle trailers are a type of full trailer where the axles are positioned in the middle. Due to stability concerns, full trailers are explicitly prohibited from driving on highways by national regulations. Relevant details are as follows: Introduction to Center-Axle Trailers: A trailer with two axles, both placed in the middle of the trailer, is called a center-axle trailer. Because both axles are located in the middle, a center-axle trailer cannot maintain balance on its own and requires support legs to 'stand' when not connected to another vehicle. Driving of Center-Axle Trailers: The towing device cannot move vertically (relative to the trailer), and the axle is located close to the trailer's center of gravity (under uniform load). This type of vehicle exerts only a small vertical static load on the towing vehicle, not exceeding 10% of the trailer's mass or 10,000N (whichever is smaller). One or more axles can be driven by the towing vehicle.

Should I Buy a New Car from a Dealership or a 4S Store?

Buying a new car from a dealership or a 4S store involves considering many factors. Here is a detailed introduction: 1. Price: Buying from a dealership is better because the price is cheaper, which is also the advantage of dealerships. However, there are also a few dealerships that pass off inventory cars or problematic cars as new cars to consumers, and such irresponsible businesses do exist. 2. Quality: Undoubtedly, 4S stores are more reliable, while dealerships, due to factors such as price and source, make it difficult for consumers to judge their true quality. Therefore, if you are afraid or have concerns about dealerships, it is better to choose to buy a car from a 4S store. 3. After-sales service: 4S stores integrate car sales, maintenance, parts, and information services; while dealerships also do not pose much trouble, as long as you have the three-guarantee certificate, you can go to any 4S store of the corresponding brand for maintenance and repairs.

Is the car panoramic sunroof very hot in summer?

In summer, it can be quite sunny, and even with the sunshade open, it still feels very hot. The temperature inside the car with a panoramic sunroof can get quite high during summer. Functions of the sunroof: 1. Quickly cools down the car interior. After the car has been parked under the sun, opening the sunroof helps quickly dissipate the high temperature inside. Turning on the air conditioning after the heat has been expelled works better. 2. Effectively reduces wind noise. When driving at high speeds, opening the side windows can expose the driver to noise and strong winds, which can also affect driving safety. Opening the sunroof while keeping the side windows closed can effectively prevent this issue. 3. Eliminates fog. After rain, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car can cause fog to form on the windshield. By opening the sunroof and tilting it for ventilation, the driver can easily eliminate the fog. This method is suitable for light rain conditions.

What is the maximum number of points deducted for handling a traffic violation at one time?

According to the latest traffic penalty point standards, the most severe penalty is the deduction of 12 points followed by the revocation of the driver's license. Therefore, the maximum number of points that can be deducted at one time is 12. However, it is possible to accumulate more than 12 points if multiple violations occur within a short period. Additional Information: If a driver accumulates more than 12 points but fewer than 24 points within a single scoring cycle, the driver's license will be temporarily suspended. The license holder must participate in traffic safety laws and regulations training and pass the written test (Subject 1) to clear the penalty points and have the license returned. If a driver accumulates 24 points or more within a cycle, in addition to Subject 1, they must also pass the road driving skills test (Subject 3). If a driver accumulates 12 points for a second time within the same scoring cycle due to traffic violations, they must also take both Subject 1 and Subject 3.
