Although there are no detailed regulations specifying the exact speed for passing through highway tunnels, drivers must adjust their speed according to the speed limit signs posted at the tunnel entrance. After entering the tunnel, the following points should be noted: 1. Lane changing and overtaking are prohibited: Due to the limited space and poor lighting inside the tunnel, changing lanes or overtaking can easily disrupt the normal flow of other vehicles. Additionally, most tunnels are now equipped with comprehensive camera surveillance systems. Violating lane-changing rules will result in a 3-point penalty and a fine. 2. Driving in tunnels at night: Even though tunnels are illuminated and appear brighter than the outside, drivers should not increase their speed. It is crucial not to rely on intuition to judge speed while driving in a tunnel; instead, always confirm the speed using the speedometer. Additionally, maintaining an appropriate following distance is essential.

Can I continue using temporary license plates after receiving the official ones?

No. Here are the details: Reason: After receiving the official license plates, the temporary plates become invalid regardless of whether they have expired or not. Temporary license plates have a specific validity period and can still be used temporarily if removed before this period ends. Once the validity period of the temporary plates expires, the relevant authorities will reclaim them and require the owner to properly dispose of them. From then on, only the official license plates can be used. Temporary license plates: Temporary license plates are issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau when a car has not yet been officially registered due to pending procedures. The validity period of temporary license plates generally does not exceed 30 days. The use of temporary plates is time-limited and region-specific. There are four types of temporary license plates: temporary plates for administrative jurisdictions, temporary plates for cross-administrative jurisdictions, temporary plates for testing purposes, and temporary plates for special-type motor vehicles.

Should the vehicle on the right have the right of way at a T-intersection?

When there is no traffic command or traffic lights, if your vehicle arrives at the intersection and finds a vehicle approaching from the right, you should yield to the vehicle from the right. Here are the specific details: When there is no vehicle from the right: If your vehicle arrives at the intersection and does not see any vehicle approaching from the right, you should proceed straight as usual. If you suddenly notice a high-speed vehicle approaching from the right after crossing the center line and a collision occurs because you cannot avoid it in time, and if your vehicle also has violations, the responsibility should be shared based on the proportion of fault; both parties may bear equal responsibility or primary and secondary responsibility. When there is a vehicle from the right: If your vehicle arrives at the intersection and does not yield to the vehicle from the right, resulting in a collision, and the other vehicle has violations, the responsibility should be shared based on the proportion of fault; it may be equal responsibility or primary and secondary responsibility.

Why is a small car violation recorded as a medium-sized vehicle?

Possible reason: The vehicle length exceeds 6 meters. Here are the details: Reason: Small cars are defined as those with 7 seats or fewer and a length under 6 meters, while medium-sized buses are those with 8 to 19 seats and a length also under 6 meters. Any bus exceeding 6 meters in length, regardless of passenger capacity, is classified as a large bus. Applying for administrative reconsideration: If a small car violation should have been recorded with penalties applicable to small cars but was mistakenly recorded otherwise, the driver can apply for administrative reconsideration to overturn the penalty. If a motor vehicle driver disagrees with the penalty for a traffic violation and applies for administrative reconsideration or files an administrative lawsuit, and the original penalty decision is legally altered or revoked, the corresponding penalty points will also be adjusted or revoked.
