Replacing engine oil and oil filters, cleaning air filters, and checking for any damage to the generator belt and wiper blades; 2. Checking if the levels of various fluids are normal; 3. Checking if the tire pressure is normal and if there is any uneven wear, bulging, or damage to the tires; 4. Inspecting the vehicle's chassis for any abnormalities, including checking for scratches on the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and CV joints; 5. Verifying that all switches and lights in the vehicle are functioning properly.

Is driving the wrong way around a roundabout captured by fixed cameras or random checks?

Driving the wrong way is captured by random checks. Non-scene traffic violations mainly include dynamic violations and static violations. Driving the wrong way is a dynamic violation and is usually recorded through random checks. Some sections of the road may also record violations via surveillance video. Additional Information: 1. Driving the wrong way on a one-way street: One-way streets are generally equipped with surveillance cameras or electronic monitoring devices. The probability of being caught for driving the wrong way is very high, almost 100%. Of course, if you realize immediately upon entering the road that it is a one-way street and you are driving the wrong way, you should make a U-turn as soon as possible without affecting other vehicles and proceed in the correct direction. This may help you avoid being caught. 2. Relevant regulations: For violations such as driving against traffic signs or markings, failing to overtake or yield as required, or driving the wrong way, the driver will be penalized with 3 demerit points and a fine of 200 RMB. If the violation occurs on a highway, the penalty is 12 demerit points, a fine of 200 RMB, and the driver's license may be suspended for 12 months.

What is the Difference Between Supercharging and Turbocharging in an Engine?

The main differences between supercharging and turbocharging are as follows: 1. The most significant difference lies in the driving method of the air compressor. Turbocharging utilizes exhaust gases to drive the compressor, thereby increasing the engine's output power; whereas supercharging uses the torque generated by the engine crankshaft to drive the compressor to enhance the engine's output power. 2. The intensity of boosting differs. Supercharging provides continuous boost throughout the operation; turbocharging has a noticeable surge point and delivers a smoother boost. 3. The optimal driving speeds for boosting vary. Supercharging is more effective at low to medium speeds; turbocharging excels at medium to high speeds. 4. The fuel consumption required for boosting differs. Supercharged engines consume more fuel than turbocharged engines because the supercharger starts working immediately upon engine startup, requiring energy to drive its rotation.
