D gear stands for Drive, also known as the forward gear, which is the gear position to engage when driving. The driver's task is to control the throttle and brake, pressing the throttle to accelerate and the brake to decelerate. Additional information about D gear: 1. In this gear position, the transmission automatically shifts between 1st gear and overdrive (equivalent to 1st to 4th gear) based on speed and throttle conditions. This gear is used for normal road driving. 2. Due to different designs in various countries' car models, the "D" gear generally includes gears from 1st to high gear or from 2nd to high gear, and it automatically shifts gears according to changes in speed and load.

What are the three photos used to determine running a red light?

Three photos captured by electronic cameras are used to determine running a red light. The first photo shows the vehicle crossing the intersection stop line, including the red light signal and license plate number; the second photo shows the vehicle completely passing the stop line, including the red light signal and license plate number; the third photo shows the vehicle continuing to move, mainly by comparing the change in the vehicle's position from the second photo, including the red light signal and license plate number. Capturing these three photos confirms the vehicle has run a red light. Running a red light is clearly defined in the Road Traffic Safety Law. Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to pass, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage, and if a vehicle passes through an intersection during a red light, it constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. Six scenarios of running a red light: Stopping immediately after crossing the line at a red light (when the red light is on, the vehicle fails to brake in time, and the front of the vehicle crosses the stop line): If the vehicle has just crossed the stop line during a red light but stops immediately, this is not penalized as running a red light. However, if there is noticeable movement after crossing the line, it will be penalized. The three photos captured by electronic cameras for running a red light are: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered running a red light, resulting in a 6-point deduction under the new regulations. Running a red light under police direction (the signal is red, but the traffic officer signals permission to pass): When there is a conflict between the traffic signal and the officer's gesture, the driver must obey the officer's on-site command. If running a red light occurs due to the officer's command, the driver can obtain a diversion certificate from the local traffic police department to avoid penalties. If the party disagrees with the penalty, they can appeal through administrative reconsideration or administrative litigation. Stopping after the entire vehicle crosses the line at a red light (failing to brake in time, causing the entire vehicle to cross the stop line): If the vehicle stops after completely crossing the stop line without further movement, this is not considered running a red light. However, this constitutes stopping beyond the line, and according to Article 4, Section 5 of the Road Traffic Violation Scoring Standards, it results in a 2-point deduction for failing to drive or stop as required at an intersection. Reversing after stopping beyond the line (attempting to avoid penalties by reversing after stopping beyond the line at a red light): Vehicles are prohibited from reversing at railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, bridges, sharp turns, steep slopes, or tunnels. Violations may result in a warning or fine. Accidentally running a red light behind a large vehicle (due to obstructed view by a large vehicle ahead, following it through the intersection): Drivers must maintain sufficient visibility to see the traffic signals ahead and ensure a safe braking distance. Generally, if a vehicle is photographed behind a large vehicle at an intersection, it is due to rushing through the signal. This behavior is penalized as running a red light. Passing through an intersection during a yellow light (crossing the intersection when the signal turns yellow): Traffic authorities state that according to the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light flashes may continue to pass. If the yellow light is already on and the vehicle continues to rush through, it will be considered running a red light if photographed.

How to Remove Iron Powder?

Use a small piece of kneaded dough and roll it back and forth on the magnet with iron powder to stick and remove the iron powder. Using glass adhesive tape to stick and remove the iron powder from the magnet also works well. You can switch to an electromagnet. If there is residual magnetism after power failure, apply an appropriate amount of reverse excitation to the electromagnet through the control circuit to completely demagnetize it, and the iron filings will naturally fall off.
