The brake with the same braking efficiency in both forward and reverse is the leading-trailing shoe brake. The characteristic of the leading-trailing shoe brake is that each of the two brake shoes has a pivot point. One shoe, when opened by the wheel cylinder's actuating force, rotates in the same direction as the brake drum and is called the leading shoe. The other shoe rotates in the opposite direction of the brake drum and is called the trailing shoe. Under the action of friction, the leading shoe has greater normal pressure between the shoe and the drum, resulting in stronger braking. The trailing shoe, under the action of friction, has less normal pressure between the shoe and the drum, resulting in weaker braking. It is important to note that the leading and trailing shoes cannot be interchanged during installation. The leading-trailing shoe brake consists of the front brake shoe, rear brake shoe, brake backing plate, wheel cylinder, brake shoe limiting device, and brake shoe clearance adjustment device, among others.

If I am fully at fault in a car accident, do I have to pay?

If you are fully at fault in a car accident and it results in personal injury or property damage, the compensation will be covered by your insurance company if your vehicle has comprehensive insurance. If the other party's losses are within the insurance coverage limit, you won't need to pay any compensation as it will all be handled by the insurance company. However, if the other party's losses exceed the insurance coverage limit, you will be responsible for the excess amount. Comprehensive insurance also covers the at-fault vehicle. After the accident, you should promptly report to the police and notify your insurance company. The traffic police will issue an accident liability determination, confirming your full responsibility, and then assess the damage to both vehicles for repairs. Once the vehicles are repaired, you will need to pay the repair costs first and then submit the invoices for both vehicles' repair costs, the accident liability determination, and copies of both parties' relevant documents to your insurance company for reimbursement. After verification, the insurance company will transfer the funds to your account.

Will I not be exempt from highway tolls in 2020 if I don't install ETC?

In 2020, not installing ETC only means you cannot enjoy the highway toll discount policies offered by banks to ETC users, but it does not affect your eligibility for national holiday toll exemptions. For car owners who haven't applied for ETC yet, it won't prevent them from driving on highways. Manual toll lanes will still be available at highway toll stations, so there's no need for excessive concern. After installing ETC, you can save time by avoiding queues, pass through toll stations without stopping (reducing noise and emissions), and decrease vehicle wear and fuel consumption by minimizing frequent starts and brakes.
