Mobile speed measurement involves randomly setting up a point on the road to measure speed, while section speed measurement monitors the entire stretch of road. Below are detailed introductions to mobile speed measurement and section speed measurement: Mobile Speed Measurement: This method is random. Traffic police will set up a speed measurement device at a random point on the highway. This type of speed measurement is characterized by its single-point nature, unpredictability, and mobility, making it difficult to avoid through navigation. Section Speed Measurement: Section speed measurement is more complex in terms of equipment compared to single-point speed measurement. At the starting point of the section speed measurement, there is a set of speed measurement devices, and at the ending point, there is another set. By recording the time a vehicle enters the starting point and the time it leaves the ending point, and dividing the length of the measured section by the time taken, the average speed can be accurately calculated. Section speed measurement is considered more reasonable.

I think the biggest difference between mobile speed cameras and average speed cameras lies in predictability. Mobile speed cameras are like police officers temporarily using speed guns by the roadside or in vehicles to catch speeding, with no fixed location—they might be here today and somewhere else tomorrow, often catching drivers by surprise with sudden fines. Average speed cameras, on the other hand, are much more fixed, measuring the average speed between two points on highways or major urban roads, encouraging drivers to maintain a steady speed throughout and avoid sudden braking or acceleration. With over 20 years of driving experience, I find the shock of mobile speed cameras the most annoying—getting fined when my speed is usually fine feels unfair. Average speed cameras, in contrast, seem fairer, helping to cultivate stable driving habits and reduce rear-end collisions. However, both can be easily alerted by navigation apps, so using a mobile app to avoid them works just fine.

What is a Drum Brake?

Drum brake refers to a braking device that utilizes stationary brake shoes inside the brake drum to create friction against the rotating drum attached to the wheel, thereby reducing the wheel's rotational speed. When the brake pedal is pressed, the force applied by the foot pushes the piston in the master cylinder forward, generating pressure in the hydraulic system. Advantages of Drum Brakes in Automobiles: Drum brakes have excellent self-braking properties. As the brake shoes expand outward, the rotating wheel causes the expanding brake drum to twist at an angle during braking—the greater the outward expansion, the more pronounced this effect. Therefore, drum brakes are still commonly used in large vehicles, primarily due to their lower cost. The main difference between drum brakes in large and small vehicles is that large vehicles typically use pneumatic assistance, while small vehicles use vacuum assistance to aid braking. Drum brake manufacturing technology is relatively basic, being the earliest type used in braking systems, making production costs lower than disc brakes. Additionally, the installation of handbrake mechanisms is easier. Some models with rear disc brakes may even incorporate a drum-style handbrake mechanism at the center of the brake disc. Disadvantages of Drum Brakes in Automobiles: The brake drum of a drum brake expands in diameter when heated, increasing the travel distance of the brake pedal and potentially leading to less responsive braking than expected. Therefore, when driving a vehicle with drum brakes, it is advisable to avoid continuous braking to prevent heat fade caused by high temperatures on the brake shoes. The braking system reacts relatively slowly, and the pedal force is harder to control precisely, making it unsuitable for high-frequency braking. The complex construction with numerous components requires adjustment of brake clearance, complicating maintenance.

Where are the car headlights and how to turn them on?

Turning on the car headlights can be achieved by simply rotating the headlight switch of the vehicle. Here are the specific details about car headlights: 1. Switch location: The car light switch is mostly integrated into the lever-type switch on the left side of the steering wheel, although there are exceptions, with some models featuring a rotary knob-style switch. By twisting or moving the switch to the designated position, the corresponding exterior lights will illuminate, and the dashboard will display the corresponding indicator. 2. Car headlights: By turning the light switch to the low beam position, the low beams will light up. For daily driving, turning on the low beams is sufficient to meet the needs. However, there are special cases. If there are no street lights on the roadside or the road is straight and distant with poor visibility, please use the high beams.

At what time does the 12123 point reset date restore 12 points?

Generally, the points on a driver's license will be reset at 24:00 on the day before the new scoring cycle begins. Simply put, if you obtained your driver's license on September 8th, then at 24:00 on September 7th of the following year, the points on your driver's license will be reset, restoring it to 12 points. The rules related to the reset of driver's license points are as follows: Scoring Cycle: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points. It is calculated from the date the driver's license was initially issued and continues to cycle accordingly. The reset time for the driver's license points is the issuance date on the license, and the system automatically resets the points on that date each year. Starting from the "initial issuance date" of the driver's license, one year constitutes a scoring cycle, and this cycle continues accordingly. Less than 12 points: If the points recorded for violations in a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points, the scoring system will automatically reset the points from the previous scoring cycle (after paying the fines) at the start of the next scoring cycle. Reaching 12 points: If you accumulate 12 points, you must attend a learning session and pass the subject one exam at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or where the violation occurred (if you accumulate 12 points twice consecutively in one scoring cycle, you must also pass the subject three exam after upgrading your license). Only after passing the exam can the points be reset. Otherwise, the driver's license cannot be used normally.

Do I Need to Retake the Driving Test if My Driver's License Expires?

As long as the driver's license has not been expired for more than 3 years, you can apply for a renewal. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," an expired driver's license does not require retaking the test. If the license has been expired for less than one year, you can go through the normal renewal procedures at the vehicle management office. However, driving with an expired license is prohibited and will be treated as driving without a license. Circumstances requiring a test for an expired driver's license: If the driver's license has been expired for over one year, it will be deregistered. To lift the deregistration and renew the license, you must first pass the subject one test. If the license has been expired for over three years, it will be invalidated, and the driver must re-enroll in a driving school and pass all subject tests to regain driving eligibility. Procedure for handling an expired driver's license: Bring all required documents to the local vehicle management office to apply for renewal, obtain and fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form," submit the completed form and documents to the staff for review, pay the processing fee upon approval, and wait 10-20 minutes to receive the new driver's license. Documents required for renewing an expired driver's license: The driver's original ID card and a copy, the motor vehicle driver's license, a one-inch color photo with a white background (front view, without a hat), and a "Physical Condition Certificate" issued by a qualified medical institution such as a secondary or higher-level hospital, township health center, community health service center, or health examination center.

What is the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the 2.0T Teana?

According to official data, the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the 2.0T Teana model is 6.9 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is available to propel the vehicle, naturally resulting in faster acceleration. The BMW 320i has a maximum torque of 205 Nm and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds. The 2.0T Teana model has a torque of 270 Nm and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 6.9 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission is the medium for power delivery and inevitably involves power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Teana uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit is Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The BMW 320i has a power-to-weight ratio of 106 Hp/T and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds. The Teana has a power-to-weight ratio of 155 Hp/T and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 6.9 seconds.
