Possible causes include distributor and spark plug malfunctions. Below are the relevant explanations: Distributor: There may be moisture in the distributor, causing poor sparking. Wipe the distributor rotor and also check the oil dipstick to see if water has entered the oil. If water has mixed with the oil, the oil will appear milky white. Spark Plug: Remove the spark plugs and attempt to start the engine to expel water from the cylinders and exhaust pipe. After drying the spark plugs, reinstall them and try starting the car again. If the car cannot be turned over after removing the spark plugs, do not attempt to start it further, as this indicates that the connecting rod, valves, and pistons may already be damaged. Continuing to start the car could cause more severe damage.

Does Remote Starting the Vehicle Air Conditioning Harm the Car?

Remote starting the vehicle air conditioning does not harm the car. This is because when the air conditioning is turned on while idling, the engine experiences an increased load. However, the engine will automatically raise its RPM to ensure normal operation, though this may result in slightly higher fuel consumption. Below are detailed explanations about this: Engine: A machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines), and electric motors. Air Conditioning Temperature: When the ambient seasonal temperature rises above 35 degrees Celsius, the interior temperature of a closed car can reach 65 degrees within 15 minutes.

How often should a C1 driver's license be reviewed for individuals over 60 years old?

Individuals over 60 years old with a C1 driver's license do not need to undergo an annual review. A review is only required when renewing the license.

The calculation method for the driver's license scoring cycle is as follows: Method 1: Starting from the day the driver's license is initially obtained, every 12 months is considered a cycle. The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is initially obtained. Method 2: Based on the severity of road traffic safety violations, the points deducted for a single violation can be 12, 6, 3, 2, or 1 point.
