About the correct method for changing lanes, the key is to be quick with your eyes and hands, and follow with your feet. Related introduction to lane changing: 1. Turn on the turn signal: When changing lanes, you should turn on the turn signal in advance, so that the vehicles behind can know that the car is about to turn and will naturally slow down. 2. Check the rearview mirror: After turning on the turn signal, immediately check the rearview mirror, then slowly change lanes in the direction you want to turn. For changing lanes to the right, focus on the right rearview mirror; for changing lanes to the left, focus on the left rearview mirror to see if any cars are closely following behind. At the same time, also check the front of the car for any pedestrians or vehicles to ensure the safety of the lane change. 3. Check the distance on both sides: Keep the car within the two white lines and avoid crossing the line. If you are not changing lanes, normal driving basically does not require checking the rearview mirror, nor worrying about being overtaken or followed by cars behind. Additionally, look further ahead and not just at the front of the car.

What Type of Vehicle is Suitable for Moving a Refrigerator?

For moving a refrigerator, it is best to use a box truck for transportation. If traffic regulations permit, a small pickup truck with a cargo bed can also be used. Vehicles are generally categorized into six types based on their usage: 1. Sedan: Also known as a passenger car, typically seating no more than nine people (including the driver). 2. Bus: Seating for more than nine people (including the driver), including city buses, long-distance coaches, and tourist buses. 3. Truck: Commonly referred to as a lorry, primarily used for transporting goods. 4. Tractor: Specifically designed for towing trailers or semi-trailers. 5. Specialized Transport Vehicle: Designed for specific cargo transportation needs, featuring specialized compartments and corresponding equipment, such as dump trucks, tanker trucks, refrigerated trucks, bulk cement trucks, and container trucks. 6. Special Purpose Vehicle: Mainly used for other tasks, such as ambulances, fire trucks, garbage trucks, sprinkler trucks, and various engineering vehicles.

Is 14 liters per 100 kilometers high?

14 liters means a fuel consumption of 14L per 100 kilometers. Whether this is high is relative. For example, it is considered high for small sedans with an engine displacement of around 1.6-2.0L, but it is normal for large-displacement vehicles, such as large SUVs. Ways to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Correctly adjust tire inflation pressure: Proper tire pressure can reduce rolling resistance and lower fuel consumption. Additionally, slightly higher tire pressure (about +0.2bar above the recommended value) can also save fuel. 2. Use in-car auxiliary electrical equipment moderately: Some electrical devices significantly increase fuel consumption, such as the air conditioning system's cooling function. If the heating purpose has been achieved, the seat heater should be turned off promptly. The rear window heater should also be turned off when there is no fog or ice. 3. Use gears correctly: Match the gear to the speed; avoid high speed with low gear or low speed with high gear. Shift gears in advance, ensuring the gear matches the appropriate speed, and avoid driving at high speeds with low gears or low speeds with high gears.

What do S and H represent in shock absorbers?

Shock absorbers generally have two adjustment directions: hard and soft. H stands for hard, and S stands for soft. Below is relevant information about shock absorbers: 1. Function: Shock absorbers (Absorber) are mainly used to suppress the oscillation of the spring after absorbing shocks and the impact from the road surface. When driving on uneven roads, although the shock-absorbing spring can filter out road vibrations, the spring itself still has reciprocating motion, and the shock absorber is used to suppress this spring bounce. If the shock absorber is too soft, the car body will bounce up and down. If the shock absorber is too hard, it will create excessive resistance, hindering the normal operation of the spring. 2. Matching: In the process of modifying the suspension system, hard shock absorbers should be paired with hard springs, and the hardness of the spring is closely related to the weight of the car. Therefore, heavier cars generally use harder shock absorbers. The device connected to the vibration-damping crankshaft is used to counteract the torsional vibration of the crankshaft (i.e., the phenomenon where the crankshaft twists under the impact force of cylinder ignition).

How many points are deducted for making a U-turn and driving in the wrong direction on the road?

Making a U-turn and driving in the wrong direction on the road will result in a deduction of 3 points. Driving in the wrong direction refers to motor vehicles or non-motor vehicles driving on the left side, which is considered as driving in the wrong direction. Circumstances where U-turns are prohibited are as follows: U-turns are prohibited where there are "No U-turn" signs or "No Left Turn" signs: If there is a sign prohibiting U-turns, then U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. The action of making a U-turn is an extension of a left turn, so if there is a sign prohibiting left turns at an intersection, U-turns are also prohibited there. U-turns are prohibited at crosswalks: U-turns are not allowed at crosswalks. If at an intersection where U-turns are permitted, you must cross the crosswalk before making a U-turn and must not make a U-turn on the crosswalk. U-turns are prohibited when there is no left-turn lane: Even if you are in the leftmost lane, if there is no sign allowing left turns, U-turns are not permitted. U-turns are prohibited within the second left-turn lane: When a vehicle is in the second left-turn lane, it cannot make a U-turn. In the absence of any directional signs, vehicles can only make U-turns from the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns are prohibited at solid yellow lines: U-turns are not allowed at solid yellow lines. Even if there is a sign permitting U-turns, you must wait for the green light and cross the stop line to make a U-turn. U-turns are prohibited on highways: Crossing the central divider to make a U-turn on a highway is illegal and will result in a fine and a deduction of 12 points. If you miss an exit on the highway, continue driving to the next exit and leave the highway. Do not attempt an illegal U-turn. Precautions for making U-turns: When making a U-turn, you should turn on the left turn signal in advance, and the maximum speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour. Do not hinder other vehicles and pedestrians driving normally.

How often should a white car be waxed?

White cars should be waxed after six months. Here are the relevant details: 1. Protective wax: New cars come with factory-applied protective wax, so waxing is unnecessary for the first six months. Waxing too early may actually remove the original protective wax on the car's surface, leading to unnecessary waste. 2. Color selection: Light-colored car paint can use silver, white, or pearl-colored waxes. For white cars, ordinary pearl-colored or metallic paint waxes are best, while UV-protective wax is recommended in summer. 3. Purpose of waxing: Waxing is a traditional car care practice that helps protect the car's paint.

Do Japanese drive on the left or right side?

Japan's driver's seat is on the right, so Japanese cars drive on the left side of the road, while in China, the driver's seat is on the left, so Chinese cars drive on the right. The direction of the driver's seat is determined by the country's traffic regulations. Here is the relevant content introduction: The traffic roads in China and Japan are different: Japan's traffic roads are left-hand drive, with the driver sitting on the left, which is more conducive to seeing the road conditions when turning right. In contrast, China's traffic roads are right-hand drive, which is beneficial for seeing the road conditions when turning left.
