Doppler effect speed measurement refers to the radar speed detection function, which utilizes the principle of the Doppler effect of electromagnetic waves. It records distance and speed based on changes in the wavelength of radiation from an object due to the relative motion between the object and the observer. Doppler Effect: The main concept is that the wavelength of radiation from an object changes due to the relative motion between the wave source and the observer. In front of a moving wave source, waves are compressed, resulting in shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies (blueshift). Behind the moving wave source, the opposite effect occurs, with longer wavelengths and lower frequencies (redshift). The faster the wave source moves, the greater the effect. The speed of the wave source along the observer's direction can be calculated based on the degree of redshift (or blueshift). Methods of Measuring Vehicle Speed: Interval speed measurement; Geographic coil speed measurement, where induction strips buried in the ground are perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel and spaced a certain distance apart. The time difference between passing two induction strips is used to calculate the vehicle's speed, and speeding triggers photo evidence collection; Radar speed measurement.

What vehicles can a C1 driver's license drive?

A C1 driver's license can drive vehicles with 9 seats or fewer (including 9 seats). According to the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application and Use Regulations" in China, the C1 driver's license allows driving small and mini passenger vehicles, light and mini cargo vehicles, as well as light, small, and mini special-purpose vehicles. Additionally, a C1 license can drive vehicles permitted by C2, C3, and C4 licenses, including automatic transmission small cars, light and mini automatic transmission cargo vehicles, low-speed cargo vehicles, and three-wheeled vehicles. Small cars refer to vehicles with a total mass of less than 4.5 tons, seating no more than 9 people, and a vehicle length of less than 6 meters. C1 driver's license test items: The C1 driver's license test consists of four test items. The traffic regulations and related knowledge test, commonly known as the subject one test; the field driving test, known as subject two; the road driving test, also called subject three, which includes 16 driving skills such as vehicle preparation, starting, and straight-line driving. Subject four focuses on safe and civilized driving operation requirements, similar to subject one, both being theoretical tests. According to the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Business Work Regulations" issued by the relevant authorities, motor vehicle driver's licenses are classified into a hierarchical system, dividing them into 15 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P. Different levels of driver's licenses permit driving vehicles with varying seating capacities: A1 license: A1 driver's license can drive large passenger vehicles with 20 seats or more. A2 license: A2 driver's license can drive passenger vehicles with 19 seats or fewer. A3 license: A3 driver's license can drive urban buses with a capacity of 10 people or more. C2 license: Can drive automatic transmission cars with 9 seats or fewer and a vehicle length not exceeding 6 meters. B1 license: The B1 license permits driving medium-sized passenger vehicles, defined as vehicles with a length of less than 6 meters and a seating capacity of 10 (inclusive) to 19 (inclusive) people. B2 license: The B2 license can only drive vehicles with 9 seats or fewer and small blue-plate passenger vehicles with a length of less than 6 meters. According to the relevant legal provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law": Article 19: Driving a motor vehicle requires legally obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license. Applying for a motor vehicle driver's license must meet the driving permit conditions stipulated by the public security department of the State Council; after passing the test, the corresponding category of motor vehicle driver's license is issued by the traffic management department of the public security organ; drivers must drive motor vehicles according to the permitted vehicle types indicated on the driver's license; when driving a motor vehicle, the driver must carry the motor vehicle driver's license. Therefore, it should be clear that both driving a motor vehicle without a driver's license and driving a motor vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type are illegal. According to the first provision of the reply from the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council on the "Understanding and Application of the Legal Provisions of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' and Its Implementation Regulations": Driving a motor vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type on the driver's license should be considered as driving without a license in nature; in terms of penalty application, based on the principle of matching the penalty to the offense, it can be appropriately leniently penalized according to the penalty provisions for driving a motor vehicle without a driver's license. Therefore, both driving a motor vehicle without a license and driving a motor vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type should be subject to the provisions of Article 99, Paragraph 1 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law": Driving a motor vehicle without a motor vehicle driver's license, or when the motor vehicle driver's license is revoked or temporarily suspended, shall be fined by the public security traffic management department and may also be detained for up to 15 days.

Is the Rain Repellent for Glass Useful?

Automotive glass rain repellent is very useful. It prevents rainwater from forming a film on the car's glass surface, ensuring that the driver's vision is no longer affected by the rain film. Here is an introduction to glass rain repellent: 1. Automotive glass rain repellent utilizes the hydrophobic principle of nanomaterials to prevent rainwater from forming a film on the car's glass surface, ensuring that the driver's vision is no longer affected by the rain film. This significantly enhances visibility and greatly improves driving comfort and safety in rainy conditions. 2. When automotive glass rain repellent is sprayed onto the glass, a nanolayer forms on the surface. This protective layer has excellent hydrophobic properties, altering the surface tension. When rainwater hits the glass surface, it automatically contracts into droplets and slides off the glass, achieving the purpose of rain repellency. 3. You can make your own glass rain repellent using dish soap. Mix dish soap with water in a 1:6 ratio and pour it into a spray bottle. Before driving in the rain, spray the mixture onto the glass and wipe it clean with a dry towel.

How to steer when reversing to the left?

When reversing to the left, turn the steering wheel to the left. There's one key principle to remember when reversing a vehicle: steer the wheel in the direction you want the rear of the car to go. Points to note when steering while reversing: 1. Master the basic technique: Simply put, before reversing, stay calm, observe the surroundings carefully, and decide whether you want the rear to go left or right. Turn the steering wheel left to make the rear go left, and right to make it go right. Also, determine how much to turn the wheel by using reference points in the rearview mirror. 2. Adjusting the car body: When the rear leans to one side, correct it by steering to the opposite side (if the rear is leaning left, steer right to straighten it, and vice versa). 3. Overcome fear: Stay calm, think carefully, observe and analyze correctly, and practice more. Consider your actions before executing them. 4. Avoid the habit of turning the steering wheel while stationary: This can cause more damage to the vehicle.

What is the fuel consumption of the Asian Lion?

The average fuel consumption of the Asian Lion 2.0L automatic is 7.1L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car varies slightly depending on each individual's driving habits and skills. More stable driving habits result in lower fuel consumption, while frequent aggressive driving, overtaking, and other high-RPM operations will appropriately increase fuel consumption. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer: Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance may require higher fan speeds and lower temperatures to achieve a comfortable effect. 2. Frequent hard braking: Frequent hard braking is a major reason for persistently high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Avoid excessive air conditioning in small-displacement cars: For vehicles exposed to the sun, it is not advisable to turn on the air conditioning immediately after entering. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher speed without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside. Wait until the vehicle has moderately cooled down before turning on the air conditioning.
