What is the penalty for overloading a car with one extra person depends on the vehicle type: Driving a passenger vehicle (excluding buses and school buses) with one extra person results in 3 demerit points and a fine; overloading a standard 5-seat sedan with one extra person leads to 6 demerit points and a fine. Having 5 adults and 1 child in a 5-seat car is considered overloading. Overloading is not calculated by weight but by the number of passengers. Any private vehicle exceeding the approved passenger capacity is considered overloading and will face legal penalties. In the event of a traffic accident, the police and insurance companies will assess whether overloading contributed to the accident, affecting liability determination. The insurance company will not cover medical expenses for overloaded passengers. For example, if 6 people are in a 5-seat car, the insurance will only cover medical expenses for 5 people, excluding the sixth person.

Is It Correct to Use Left Foot for Accelerator, Right Foot for Brake, and Middle for Clutch?

Using the left foot for brake, right foot for accelerator, and middle for clutch is incorrect. The correct arrangement is: the leftmost pedal is the clutch, the middle one is the brake, and the rightmost is the accelerator. Only manual transmission vehicles have a clutch; automatic transmission vehicles do not. For automatic transmissions: the left pedal is the brake, and the right is the accelerator. Below are relevant details: Foot distribution: Left foot operates the clutch; right foot operates the brake and accelerator. The accelerator and brake are not pressed simultaneously. Pressing the brake is for decelerating the vehicle, while pressing the accelerator is for accelerating it. Therefore, it's impossible to press the accelerator while braking. Precautions: When shifting gears while driving, the clutch pedal should be pressed and released quickly, avoiding partial engagement (half-clutch), as this can accelerate clutch plate wear. During normal driving, do not rest the left foot on the clutch pedal for extended periods, as this can lead to rapid wear of the clutch plate.

What is the part above the car trunk called?

The part above the car trunk is called the trunk lid. The trunk is usually located at the rear of the vehicle. Early designs featured an external rack at the rear of the vehicle for attaching luggage. Later designs integrated the storage area into the body, eventually becoming more streamlined. The main storage compartment is typically positioned at the end of the vehicle opposite the engine. Here are the reasons why the trunk may not open and their solutions: 1. Linkage rod or lock cylinder issue: If you frequently use a key to open the trunk lid, the linkage rod may be broken, and you should go to a repair shop to open it. If you always use a remote control to open the trunk lid, the lock cylinder may be dirty or rusty. Spraying a rust remover into the lock cylinder a few times can help open it. 2. Not unlocked: The trunk may be difficult to open if it hasn't been unlocked with the remote key. Before attempting to open it, press the unlock button on the key or check if the key battery is dead. 3. Mechanical component failure: The trunk itself may have issues, such as a broken wire or other trunk-related problems preventing it from opening.

What are the tips for car usage and maintenance?

Car maintenance requires attention to air conditioning cleaning and tire replacement. Here are the relevant details: Air Conditioning Cleaning and Maintenance: During summer, the air conditioning system operates under high load. Additionally, frequent rain means cars often drive through waterlogged roads, causing the lower part of the air conditioning condenser to accumulate mud and sand. Over time, this can lead to rusting of the condenser, shortening its lifespan. Therefore, a thorough air conditioning maintenance should be performed as autumn arrives. Furthermore, pay attention to the maintenance of the heater pipes and fan. As temperatures drop in autumn, frost may form. During this season, ensure the defroster vents under the windshield are functioning properly and providing sufficient heat. Address any issues promptly to avoid unsafe driving conditions. Replace Tires with Worn Treads: In summer, high temperatures require frequent checks of tire pressure to prevent overinflation and blowouts. In autumn, as temperatures drop, tire pressure should be replenished to maintain it within the recommended range. Also, inspect tires for scratches, as rubber tends to harden in autumn and winter, making tires more prone to leaks or punctures.

What to Use for Disinfection Inside the Car During the Pandemic?

Use steam disinfection or ozone disinfection. Here are the relevant introductions: Steam disinfection: Steam disinfection mainly utilizes high-temperature steam to kill germs or render them inactive. First, clean the vehicle with ordinary detergent and waterproof the electronic components inside the car. Then, spray cleaning agents and disinfectants inside the car, and finally disinfect with high-temperature steam. Since steam may have adverse effects on the car's electronic systems and has a limited effect on the air conditioning system, it is more effective in sterilizing seat leather and fabrics. Ozone disinfection: Ozone sterilization is also one of the better choices for car disinfection. Car ozone disinfection can kill various stubborn viruses and bacteria in the air, completely eliminate odors, and provide a healthy and comfortable interior space. It uses a car-specific disinfectant machine that can quickly generate a large amount of ozone for disinfection. When the ozone reaches the specified concentration, it can quickly kill bacteria and viruses and eliminate odors inside the car. Moreover, using ozone for disinfection does not produce any substances harmful to the human body.

How Many Points Are Deducted for Crossing the Yellow Line in Subject 2?

In the Subject 2 driving test, crossing the yellow line during reverse parking results in immediate failure, with a deduction of 100 points. Below is relevant information: Point deductions in Subject 2: Not using the seatbelt as required; obstructing or turning off in-car audio and video monitoring devices; not following the examiner's instructions; inability to correctly use vehicle controls such as lights and wipers; rolling back more than 30 cm when starting; driving with both hands off the steering wheel; prolonged mismatch between gear and speed, causing excessively high or low engine RPM, etc. Introduction to Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. For the C1 license, the test includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions may include a sixth item, high-speed toll card collection. For the C2 license, the test includes four mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns).

What is the number of teeth on a gear?

Generally, the number of teeth on a gear is taken as m≥2. Within the same gear group, gears with the same modulus should be used as much as possible; gears with different moduli are only used under special circumstances, such as the final expansion group or back gear group, but generally no more than two types. The principle for determining the number of gear teeth is: compact gear structure size and small spindle speed error. The following is a related introduction about gears: 1. Composition: Generally, it consists of teeth, tooth grooves, end faces, normal faces, addendum circles, dedendum circles, base circles, and pitch circles. 2. Introduction to components: Each protruding part used for meshing, these protruding parts are generally arranged radially, and the teeth on the paired gears contact each other, enabling the gears to continue meshing and operating; the tooth groove is the space between two adjacent teeth on the gear; the end face is the plane perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical gear or cylindrical worm; the normal face refers to the plane perpendicular to the tooth line of the gear; the addendum circle refers to the circle where the top of the tooth is located; the dedendum circle refers to the circle where the bottom of the groove is located.
