The differences between yellow license plates and blue license plates are as follows: Different load capacities: Blue plate vehicles are small car license plates with a blue background, white characters, and white borders. They are for trucks with a total mass of less than 4,500 KG (excluding) and vehicles with fewer than 20 passengers (excluding the driver). Yellow plate vehicles usually refer to large vehicles, such as trucks over 2 tons or buses, etc. Most commercial vehicles and motorcycles also have yellow license plates. Different costs: In terms of toll fees, yellow plates are more expensive than blue plates. In urban areas, blue plate trucks are allowed to pass (except for special sections), while yellow plates are not allowed to enter the city during designated times.

As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I'm well aware of the differences between yellow and blue license plates. Blue plates are generally for smaller vehicles, like the private cars we commonly see. They're convenient and cost-effective, making parking and navigating narrow alleys a breeze. Yellow plates, on the other hand, are designated for larger vehicles such as buses, long-distance coaches, or heavy trucks. These vehicles exceed standard size limits and come with a slew of driving restrictions—many city centers prohibit yellow-plated vehicles during daytime hours to prevent traffic congestion, forcing them to stick to outer ring roads. On highways, yellow-plated vehicles move at a sluggish pace, so we smaller car drivers need to be extra cautious when overtaking, given their large blind spots and cumbersome turns. I think the color distinction is great—a quick glance tells you whether to steer clear, making roads much safer. Staying alert and avoiding collisions with large vehicles helps everyone navigate traffic more smoothly, and these rules really do reduce hassles on the road.

Which lights should be turned on when reversing?

When reversing, the reverse lights should be turned on. The reverse lights do not need to be manually activated; they will automatically turn on once the car is shifted into reverse gear. The reverse lights are installed at the rear of the vehicle to illuminate the road behind during reversing and serve as a warning to vehicles and pedestrians behind. Precautions for reversing: 1. Observe and understand the surroundings and road conditions before reversing, and ensure safety before proceeding; 2. Maintain a steady speed while reversing to prevent stalling or sudden backward acceleration, which could lead to accidents; 3. Try not to obstruct other vehicles while reversing. If another vehicle approaches, yield proactively and sound the horn in advance if there are people or obstacles nearby to prevent accidents; 4. Reverse in the intended direction and avoid deviating from it.

The following is an introduction about TFSI: TFSI represents an engine technology. TFSI stands for T (Turbocharger) FSI (Fuel-Stratified-Injection, meaning fuel stratified injection technology in Chinese), which translates to turbocharged fuel stratified injection engine in Chinese. However, because the fuel in China does not meet the standard of "fuel stratified combustion," TFSI has come to mean turbocharged direct injection.

What is the reason why the Ford Mondeo's taillights cannot be turned off?

If the rear seat light does not turn off when set to OFF, it indicates that the rear light switch is damaged or there is a wiring fault, and it needs to be inspected and repaired at a 4S shop. Normally, you can set the rear light to DOOR mode, which will turn on when the door is opened and turn off when the door is closed, making it more convenient without needing to adjust it manually. Relevant information about car lights is as follows: 1. Introduction: Car lights refer to the lamps on the vehicle, which are tools for road illumination during nighttime driving and also serve as signals to indicate various vehicle movements. 2. Reverse light: The reverse light automatically turns on when the driver shifts into reverse gear. It is a white, transparent light mainly used to alert vehicles behind that the car is reversing.

What are the reasons why the Ford Focus brake pedal is hard to press?

When a car fails to start, it means the engine cannot be ignited, which consequently prevents the brake pedal from being depressed. This is the logical sequence of events. Therefore, a car's failure to start does not indicate a fault in the brake system. The automotive braking system is a hydraulic system. To ensure the brake pads press firmly against the brake discs, significant force is required. The brake system consists of a vacuum booster pump, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake pads, and brake discs. Brake maintenance methods include: 1. High-temperature resistance protection to prevent corrosion of the brake system, avoid brake pad seizure due to overheating, and eliminate brake squeal; 2. Clean oil stains, dirt, and friction dust from brake discs, drums, and all components to maintain optimal heat dissipation; 3. Regularly replace brake fluid; 4. Periodically inspect the thickness of brake pads or shoes.
