The correct hand positions for steering are as follows: Steering hand positions: When steering, your hands should alternate positions. When turning the steering wheel one full rotation, your left hand should turn halfway, followed immediately by your right hand continuing the turn. Safe hand positions: First, master the safer way to hold the steering wheel. Place your left hand near the 9 o'clock position and your right hand near the 3 o'clock position. Your hands should grip the wheel firmly but not too tightly. Your thumbs should rest naturally on the wheel. High-speed hand positions: When driving at high speeds (above 90 km/h), avoid making sudden movements with the steering wheel. Even slight adjustments can cause the car to veer, which can be dangerous. Make only minor adjustments to the steering wheel. Keep both hands firm but not overly tense. Incorrect hand positions: When steering, avoid using one hand to turn the wheel back and forth while resting the other hand on the gear shift. This is a bad habit that not only increases driving risks but can also damage the transmission. Always use both hands to steer the wheel.

Why Shouldn't You Shift to Neutral When Going Downhill?

The specific reasons why you should not coast in neutral when driving downhill are as follows: 1. When coasting in neutral, the car loses the engine's braking effect. During downhill driving, due to gravity, the car's speed will increase continuously. Without the engine's braking, the braking distance will be significantly longer, meaning the braking effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and the vehicle will be in an uncontrolled state. If any situation arises ahead, the driver will be unable to slow down or stop the vehicle in time, creating a significant safety hazard. 2. The likelihood of the car stalling increases when coasting in neutral. If the car stalls for any reason, it will immediately lose power steering and brake assist, leading to complete loss of control. In such a scenario, the consequences could be unimaginable. 3. For automatic transmission cars, coasting in neutral can cause the transmission to lose lubrication, increasing wear and tear on the transmission.

How long does it take to get the result of running a red light?

After running a red light, the text message for the violation photo is usually received within 3 to 7 days, and at the latest, within about 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you can receive a text notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But the notification does not equate to a violation; it merely serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it is a violation still takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another text message. For violations captured by surveillance cameras, car owners generally do not receive the violation text message immediately. There is a delay, and the duration can vary. This is because after the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center. After consolidation, it is then handed over to the relevant traffic police staff for verification. Once the violation is confirmed, the system automatically retrieves the corresponding car owner's mobile phone number based on the license plate information. Only then is the violation sent to the car owner via text message. After receiving the violation text message, the car owner must go to the traffic police department at the location of the violation to handle the matter within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. Generally, if a car owner suspects they have committed a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation text message is received after 15 days, it is likely that no violation has been recorded. Methods for traffic violation inquiries: Traffic violation inquiry refers to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management through the internet or query terminals. Methods include website queries, phone inquiries, text message inquiries, mobile app inquiries, and offline terminal inquiries. Website inquiry: You can search for "vehicle violation inquiry" and input your vehicle information to check. Phone inquiry: You can call local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 to confirm traffic violations. Violations can only be processed at the location of the violation or the vehicle license plate issuance location. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by traffic police, they must be handled at the location of the violation. Text message inquiry: Open your phone's text message interface, input "WZ license plate number, plate color," and send it to 1062650001. Mobile app inquiry: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "violation inquiry," and find unresolved violations to clear them. Offline terminal inquiry: Visit the local traffic management hall and use the self-service query machine to input the license plate number and check recent violation records.
