Below is the content of the fleet safety meeting minutes: 1. Never drive fast in rainy weather: and especially avoid making sharp turns. Additionally, turn on the front and rear fog lights. Even during the day in heavy rain, it's best to turn on the lights, preferably the front and rear fog lights, and set the windshield wipers to the fastest speed. For night rain or driving on overcast days, promptly turn on the night driving lights. Visibility is poor when driving at night, so to prevent rear-end collisions from vehicles behind, the night driving lights should be turned on in time. Similarly, on overcast days, during heavy rain or fog with poor visibility, the night driving lights should also be turned on promptly. 2. Do not accelerate to overtake: Maintaining a safe distance and controlling speed are basic requirements for driving in the rain. While driving in the rain, always pay attention to the speed and direction of the vehicle in front. Never accelerate to overtake just because the vehicle in front is moving slowly, especially on highways where the speed of vehicles in each lane is relatively high, the driver's field of vision is narrowed, and the road surface is slippery. Forcing a lane change to overtake can easily cause the wheels to skid with just a slight turn of the steering wheel, leading to accidents such as sideswiping other vehicles or even rollovers. 3. If encountering muddy roads: Try to avoid shifting gears and stopping while driving. If shifting gears is necessary during the journey, the action should be swift and the clutch engagement smooth. If forced to stop, you can start in third or second gear (automatic transmissions can also start in third gear with light throttle). When starting, gently press the accelerator pedal just enough to get the car moving. 4. Stay calm if you lose control: It's particularly easy to lose control when crossing ditches or going downhill. If you feel the vehicle is out of control, the first thing is to stay calm. Do not immediately hit the brakes or steer wildly. Instead, promptly release the throttle, press the clutch pedal to maintain the current state, and let the vehicle coast for a short distance. Once the tires regain traction, immediately take control of the steering.

Hello everyone, I just joined the fleet a few months ago. After attending safety meetings, I always take notes, which are quite comprehensive. The meeting minutes mainly include case studies of accidents. The supervisor uses real incidents to explain what happened, such as a truck overturning due to speeding, analyzing the causes and proposing preventive measures. Another key focus is driving behavior monitoring, using GPS data to check if we violate regulations, with improvement suggestions like speed limit reminders noted. Maintenance reminders are also common, such as checking tire wear for safety and the frequency of brake system servicing. Weather factors are not overlooked, with strategies for rain or snow discussed, like slowing down and using fog lights. The records also include updates on new regulations, such as changes in seat belt usage requirements. Finally, there's an interactive session where everyone shares near-miss experiences and summarizes avoidance methods. All of this aims to enhance daily safety. After the meeting, I can refer to the notes for quick learning, which is especially useful for new drivers, reducing on-road nervousness.

I've been driving in the fleet for over 10 years, and safety meetings are an old topic but always practical. The records focus on accident prevention, often covering speed control and distance management. Supervisors emphasize slowing down in school zones and present hotspot area data. Vehicle maintenance is a major part, with reminders for oil changes and lighting checks to prevent nighttime failures. Weather impacts are discussed, like planning routes in advance and maintaining communication during heavy fog. Policy updates include legal changes, such as stricter drunk driving penalties, promptly recorded. Drivers share real incidents, like close calls from fatigue, with collective advice like scheduled breaks added to records as reminders. Maintenance details are thorough, reminding us to check brake fluid to avoid failure. Overall, the records help us review key points and develop safe habits, making them quite valuable.

How Long Can a Flood-Damaged Car Be Driven?

A flood-damaged car that has been repaired can generally be driven for three to four years, with some lasting four years and others up to five years. Therefore, the actual duration depends on the vehicle's condition. Additional Information: Reasons why flood-damaged cars cannot be fully repaired: Flood-damaged vehicles cannot be 100% restored to their original state and pose significant safety hazards. For example, the electronic systems are prone to short circuits, and if critical systems like ABS anti-lock braking, ESP stability control, or the engine ECU fail to function, the consequences could be disastrous. Other hazards of flood-damaged cars: Additionally, flood-damaged vehicles have other safety risks. Hot components such as the engine and exhaust pipe cool down rapidly when submerged, leading to deformation and increased unbalanced stress, which affects the lifespan of these parts. Moreover, dirty water can corrode the damaged structure of the car body, and some hidden areas cannot be treated with anti-rust paint. Over time, this corrosion weakens the car's structure, which is one of the major reasons why flood-damaged cars should be avoided.

Can a Flooded Car Still Be Driven?

No. Because water has entered the cabin, submerging the chassis, floor, and even the engine. The damp interior is prone to mold and odors, while wiring harnesses and electronic control units are susceptible to corrosion, leading to potential malfunctions later on. Below are the related details: Hidden Dangers of Flooded Cars: 'Flooded cars' can be repaired to some extent, but even after repairs, serious hazards remain. The longer the immersion time, the higher the likelihood of malfunctions. This is similar to a watch falling into water—even if disassembled and dried, the watch will still malfunction and cannot be completely repaired. Hazards: Materials inside the vehicle, such as carpets and seats, may deform, become rough, and develop odors due to prolonged immersion, fostering bacterial growth. Moisture accumulates heavily on the wiring harnesses beneath the carpets, leading to short circuits caused by dampness. These submerged components are best replaced to avoid post-flooding complications. Door panels usually contain soundproofing material, which typically needs replacement. Audio speakers and other components must be replaced after water immersion, or they will fail within days.

What is the National Emission Standard for IV?

National IV refers to the National 4 emission standard. It can fully control compliance through real-time monitoring of vehicle emissions, ensuring better enforcement of the Euro III emission standards. Here is some extended information: 1. National IV Emission Standard: The National IV emission standard is the fourth phase of China's motor vehicle pollutant emission standards. The main pollutants emitted by vehicles include HC (hydrocarbons), NOx (nitrogen oxides), CO (carbon monoxide), and PM (particulate matter). By applying technologies such as improved catalytic converter active layers, secondary air injection, and exhaust gas recirculation systems with cooling devices, the standard aims to control and reduce vehicle emissions to below specified levels. 2. National 4 Standard: The National 3 and National 4 standards are based on the Euro 3 and Euro 4 vehicle emission standards. Compared to National 2, National 3 further reduces pollutant emission limits. The tailpipe pollutant emission limits under China's National 3 standard are 30% lower than those under National 2, while National 4 will reduce them by an additional 60%. To ensure stable compliance with emission limits during vehicle use and the durability of emission control performance, requirements for On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and in-use compliance have been added.

Why Doesn't the Fuel Gauge Show Full After Filling the Tank?

Reasons why the fuel gauge doesn't show full after filling the car's tank: 1. Because the fuel pump nozzle automatically stops, it doesn't mean the tank is truly full, so the gauge doesn't display full. 2. The fuel gauge is stuck or reading data incorrectly. 3. There is an issue with the fuel float sensor. Functions of the reserved space in the fuel tank: 1. Reserve some space for fuel vaporization to avoid excessive internal pressure that could rupture the tank. 2. There is a vent hole at the top of the tank. If the tank is overfilled, gasoline may overflow. In hot summer weather, this can easily lead to a fire. 3. Overfilling can block the vent hole, causing excessive pressure inside the tank, which may result in poor fuel supply or even no fuel supply. 4. Overfilling can cause gasoline to enter the cabin. Long-term inhalation of gasoline fumes, which contain multiple proven carcinogens, can lead to serious health risks, including cancer.

What does 'a wolf in sheep's clothing' mean?

It refers to vehicles that have an elegant appearance and seem no different from ordinary family cars on the surface, but their actual performance far exceeds that of regular family cars. For example, Audi's RS series models are often referred to as 'a wolf in sheep's clothing' in China, and some people vividly translate it as 'a wolf in sheep's clothing'. Below is an introduction to the Audi RS7: 1. Power: Under the hood lies a V8 engine with 600 horsepower, and 800N·m of torque that could soften an elephant. The 3.6-second 0-100 km/h acceleration feels like being kicked in the shoulder blades by a kangaroo, and the sound it emits is like that of a grizzly bear woken up early and extremely displeased. Therefore, this car is very violent. 2. Driving modes: The Audi RS7 has two driving modes, Comfort and Dynamic, which perfectly reflect its dual nature of being both 'a wolf' and 'in sheep's clothing'. In Comfort mode, the RS7 is a comfortable family commuter car with just the right throttle response, making power readily available. When switched to Dynamic mode, the RS7 reveals the side that has earned it the nickname 'a wolf', unabashedly expressing its restlessness through exhaust noise and throttle pressure.
