Vehicle mandatory scrapping periods are as follows: 1. Non-commercial small and micro cars have no usage limit, as long as they can pass the annual inspection, they do not need to be scrapped; 2. The scrapping period for taxis is 8 years; 3. The scrapping period for non-commercial large and medium-sized cars is 20 years; 4. The scrapping period for mini trucks is 12 years, and for semi-trailer tractors, it is 15 years; 5. The scrapping period for tourist and highway passenger vehicles (large and medium-sized) is 15 years. If a private car has been registered as a ride-hailing vehicle, it will also be subject to the 8-year mandatory scrapping rule. Once a car becomes or has ever been a ride-hailing vehicle, it must comply with the 8-year or 600,000 kilometers scrapping regulation. Here, the 8-year or 600,000 kilometers condition means that meeting either one will trigger the mandatory scrapping, and even if the ride-hailing registration is canceled, this scrapping regulation still applies.

Can You Cross the Line in Parallel Parking?

No, crossing the line during parallel parking will result in a 10-point deduction. Below is relevant information about parallel parking: Introduction: Parallel parking is a component of the driving test's Subject 2, designed to assess a driver's ability to correctly park a vehicle on the right side of the road. The requirement is for the driver to park the vehicle in the right-side parking space without the wheels touching the lane boundary or parking space boundary. Notes: Adjust both side mirrors—lower the left mirror enough to see the left rear wheel, while the right mirror should just show the car body. Park the car 30cm-50cm away from the yellow line, remember to signal and check the mirrors, and slow down when you can see the wheels making contact with the ground.

Can you stop at a traffic light in a variable lane?

You cannot stop at a traffic light in a variable lane. Below is a detailed introduction about variable lanes: Introduction to variable lanes: The liquid crystal indicator signs for variable lanes belong to traffic instruction signs. Before entering a variable lane, drivers should select the lane they need to drive in according to the instructions on these signs. They must drive according to the guiding lane, avoid left lanes where prohibited, obey prohibition signs, and must not run red lights. When the red cross-shaped light above the variable lane is on, motor vehicles are not allowed to enter the lane. When passing through the guiding lane at an intersection, drivers must follow the direction indicated by the guiding arrow. Correct driving method for variable lanes: To determine whether a variable lane is for turning or going straight, observe the sign above the lane. There will be an electronic sign above the variable lane. If it displays a straight arrow, it means the lane is currently for straight-through traffic, and left-turning vehicles are prohibited from entering. If it displays a left-turn arrow, it means the lane is for left turns, and straight-through vehicles are prohibited from entering. Variable lanes change between straight and left-turn directions during peak and off-peak hours, so always follow the signs when driving. Drivers should check the signs in advance when passing through these intersections to avoid entering the wrong lane.

Is the Three-Way Catalyst Useful?

The three-way catalyst is useful. The main function of the three-way catalyst is to heat the catalytic converter using the exhaust gases emitted by the engine, then undergo a chemical reaction with the exhaust gases to convert toxic and harmful gases into harmless emissions such as water or carbon dioxide. How to determine the condition of the three-way catalytic converter: Visual inspection. Check the exterior of the three-way catalytic converter for any damage or discoloration. If there are scratches, cracks, etc., it is likely that the catalytic converter has been damaged. If there are noticeable gray spots in the center of the protective cover, severe discoloration, or purple marks on the shell, the catalytic converter may have suffered from overheating issues. Observe the engine's exhaust condition. Place your hand near the tailpipe outlet to feel the exhaust flow and check if the catalytic converter is clogged or if there are issues with poor exhaust flow. Another method is to open the air filter, remove the filter element, and observe if there is exhaust backflow during rapid acceleration, indicating poor exhaust flow. To test the condition of the TWC (Three-Way Catalyst), check if the secondary air injection pump is functioning properly. Use an infrared thermometer to assess. Compare the temperature difference before and after the TWC using an infrared thermometer. If the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the catalytic converter is less than 10°C, the TWC is likely damaged.

How Heavy is a Tricycle?

Motorized tricycles have an approximate self-weight of 800 kilograms, while electric tricycles weigh around 50 kilograms. Below is a detailed introduction to tricycles: Overview: A tricycle is a combination of a rickshaw and a bicycle. Tricycles can be categorized into manual tricycles, electric tricycles, children's tricycles, and battery-powered tricycles. Electric Tricycle: Electric tricycles use high-capacity traction lead-acid batteries for strong power; they are equipped with high-quality DC motors that operate quietly and have a long service life; the speed control system employs stepless speed regulation, featuring a simple structure and easy operation. Motorized Tricycle: Motorized tricycles are powered by either gasoline or diesel engines. Compared to electric tricycles, they significantly increase power, enhance cargo capacity, and improve transportation efficiency. The downside is that fuel emissions can cause some environmental pollution, and operation requires relevant procedures from traffic authorities.

Should You Turn on the Internal Air Recirculation When Using the Car Air Conditioner?

Whether to turn on the internal air recirculation when using the car air conditioner depends on the specific conditions inside your vehicle. Below are the differences between internal and external air recirculation in cars: External Recirculation: The function of external recirculation is to replenish fresh air. When external recirculation is activated, the air intake located at the firewall is opened by the air conditioning computer, and the vehicle's blower draws outside air through the micro-dust filter into the two heat exchangers (cooling and heating) inside the evaporator. The air processed by the heat exchangers is then blown out through the air vents. Internal Recirculation: In the internal recirculation mode, the airflow channel between the inside and outside of the vehicle is closed. Without the blower, there is no airflow circulation. When the blower is on, the air drawn in comes solely from inside the vehicle, creating an internal airflow cycle. Internal recirculation primarily serves to promptly and effectively block external dust and harmful gases from entering the vehicle, such as when driving through areas with smoke, dust, strong odors, or in dense traffic, preventing harmful exhaust emissions from preceding vehicles from entering the cabin.

Why doesn't the electric car move after braking when power is applied?

Here are the reasons why an electric car doesn't move after braking when power is applied: Damaged electronic components: The Hall sensor inside the accelerator (throttle) is damaged. The accelerator is crucial for electric cars, and the Hall sensor is vital for the accelerator. Therefore, damage to the Hall sensor will directly cause the vehicle to have no response when stepping on the accelerator, even if there is power. To check if the Hall sensor is damaged, you can start from the sensor's rated voltage and current, verifying whether these two factors are within the specified range. Values greater or smaller than this range will cause the Hall sensor to malfunction. Brake system failure: The brake power-off system is stuck or not reset, causing the brake system to keep working. In this case, the accelerator may appear "unresponsive." Alternatively, the control circuit may be open, or the controller may have a fault. The controller starts working after receiving the signal from the accelerator. If the controller is short-circuited or faulty, the accelerator naturally won't respond. Motor failure: Motor failure directly causes the vehicle to stop working, and stepping on the accelerator is useless. Identifying motor failure is simple. When the motor fails, it is usually accompanied by smoke, sparks, overheating, etc. Observing any of these signs indicates motor failure. In this case, you should take the car to a repair shop for servicing.
