According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", a warning will be issued for violations where the speed exceeds the prescribed limit by less than 10%. Even if there is no fine or points deduction, the vehicle owner still needs to go to the local traffic police department where the violation occurred to receive a warning penalty; otherwise, the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection.

Does carrying one extra child in a private car count as overloading?

Carrying one extra child counts as overloading, as long as the number of passengers exceeds the rated capacity. Child overloading is, to some extent, more severe than adult overloading because children lack the ability to protect themselves. Traffic police regulations on overloading penalties: For highway passenger vehicles, Article 92 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates: If a highway passenger vehicle carries more passengers than the rated capacity, a fine shall be imposed. For small cars, Article 90 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates: If a motor vehicle driver violates road traffic safety laws and regulations, a warning or fine shall be imposed. For freight vehicles, Article 92 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates: If a freight motor vehicle exceeds the rated load capacity, a fine shall be imposed. Overloading demerit point penalties: Any vehicle exceeding 20% of the rated capacity is considered overloaded and will be penalized according to the new traffic regulations. The new regulations have increased the demerit points for serious traffic violations involving overloading of key vehicle types. Driving a commercial passenger vehicle with more than 20% over the rated capacity results in 12 demerit points; driving a commercial passenger vehicle with overloading not exceeding 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles with more than 20% over the rated capacity, results in 6 demerit points; driving passenger vehicles other than commercial passenger vehicles or school buses with overloading not exceeding 20% results in 3 demerit points.

The validity period of a temporary license plate generally does not exceed thirty days. 2. Types of license plates: 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. Note: When driving normally on highways, the minimum speed for motor vehicles must not be less than fifty kilometers per hour. The maximum speed for small passenger vehicles must not exceed one hundred ten kilometers per hour; for large passenger vehicles, freight vehicles, and motorcycles, the maximum speed must not exceed ninety kilometers per hour.

Why is the temperature gauge fluctuating?

The unstable fluctuation of the temperature gauge is caused by a faulty coolant temperature sensor or a damaged thermostat. The engine coolant temperature, also known as the engine water temperature, may show erratic readings if the cooling system is malfunctioning. The main reasons for the temperature gauge's instability include: dirt accumulation on the contact surface between the coolant temperature sensor and the coolant; aging of the thermistor; abnormal operation of the voltage regulator; short circuit in the temperature gauge's heating coil; or an unstable thermostat that intermittently opens and closes, leading to fluctuating temperature readings. Specific explanations are as follows: Coolant temperature sensor failure: If the coolant temperature sensor fails or malfunctions, the engine ECU will detect an unreliable output signal and use a substitute value to protect the engine. This results in an unstable temperature gauge reading, often accompanied by difficulties in cold starts and poor acceleration. Thermostat damage: The thermostat automatically adjusts the flow of coolant into the radiator based on the coolant temperature, altering the coolant's circulation range to regulate the cooling system's efficiency and maintain the engine within an optimal temperature range. A damaged thermostat disrupts the engine's normal operating temperature, causing the temperature gauge to fluctuate.

What are the differences between ENERGY-XM2 and PRIMACY3-ST?

ENERGY-XM2 and PRIMACY3-ST differ in positioning, nature, and characteristics. Different positioning: If you prioritize tire wear resistance and frequently drive on complex road conditions, it is recommended to choose the ENERGY-XM2 tread pattern. If you have high requirements for low noise, comfort, and also consider some handling performance, it is recommended to choose the PRIMACY3-ST tread pattern. Different nature: Michelin ENERGY-XM2 tires are suitable for most joint-venture and domestic brand small cars, compact, mid-size, and large sedans, as well as urban SUVs. The tire width ranges from 175-235, the aspect ratio is 55-70, the inner diameter is 13-16 inches, and the maximum speed is 240 km/h. Michelin PRIMACY3-ST tires focus on safety and quietness, incorporating many Michelin-exclusive technologies. Different characteristics: Michelin PRIMACY3-ST tires adopt traditional four longitudinal main grooves with moderate depth, which provides excellent drainage and grip performance. The outer shoulder area of the ENERGY-XM2 tires features wide tread blocks and stabilizing rib designs to minimize tread pattern deformation during high-speed cornering, while the four longitudinal grooves quickly drain water to ensure sufficient grip on the tread.
