Its function is to provide resistance to the car when parking, preventing the car from rolling. Below is relevant information about the handbrake: 1. Introduction to the handbrake: The parking brake, commonly known as the handbrake, functions to provide resistance to the car when parking, preventing it from rolling. The parking brake, also referred to as the handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The force of the parking brake is much weaker than that of the service brake, just enough to prevent the car from rolling on a slope. 2. Precautions for using the handbrake: Do not pull the handbrake to its highest position, as the cables in the handbrake system include not only steel wires but also nylon ropes. If it is always pulled to the highest position, the nylon rope will quickly suffer from material fatigue.

Is the window film applied to the outside or inside of the glass?

Car window film is applied to the inside of the glass to avoid damage from external environmental factors. Below is a relevant introduction: Function: An important function of car window film is explosion-proof. When the glass spontaneously breaks or shatters due to external impact, the film can hold the glass fragments together, preventing secondary injuries to passengers and enhancing safety. If applied to the outside of the glass, the film and wipers may scrape against each other during use, and rain or windblown sand can continuously erode the film, affecting its effectiveness. Maintenance after applying car window film: Avoid washing the car for the first three days after application to prevent the film from peeling off due to moisture. Also, try not to use the rear window defroster for a week, as moisture can negatively affect the defroster lines. After installation, you can clean the film surface with a damp towel, sponge, or soft cloth.

Can Traffic Violations Be Captured Without the Fill Light On?

Cameras that do not flash can still capture traffic violations, as not all electronic eyes that capture violations require a flash to do so. For example, cameras that use infrared technology do not need a flash to capture violations. Here are some relevant details: Situations without flashing: If the camera uses infrared to capture violations, any violation will definitely be recorded. For instance, many cameras that capture violations like illegal parking or crossing lines do not require a flash. They use a separate monitoring camera to record video, with the violations analyzed by a backend computer. Things to note: When passing by an electronic monitoring camera, a flash does not necessarily indicate a violation. Therefore, whether the camera flashes or not cannot be used as a basis to determine if it will capture a violation. As long as you do not commit any violations while driving, there is no need to worry about how the electronic monitoring system operates.

The DMV will issue a replacement within 15 days of accepting the application, during which a temporary license plate can be used. It is also important to note that license plates must be replaced in pairs; you cannot replace just one. If only one is damaged, the other must still be submitted.
