The recommended tire pressure for sedans typically ranges between 2.2 to 2.5 bar. Different vehicle models have varying weights, and thus their standard tire pressures may differ. When tire pressure is too low: Tire wear accelerates, increasing the risk of blowouts and raising fuel consumption. When tire pressure is too high: Tire grip decreases and wear accelerates, while braking performance weakens. Driving with unbalanced tire pressure among the four tires can cause the vehicle to pull to one side and accelerate the wear of the under-inflated tire, reducing its lifespan. Important notes for tire pressure measurement: Cold and hot tires have different pressures. Special attention should be paid during measurement, as hot tires typically have about 0.2 bar higher pressure than cold tires. Additionally, tire pressure should be adjusted seasonally. Due to significant temperature differences between winter and summer causing thermal expansion and contraction, winter tire pressure should be slightly higher than in summer. During winter, adjust the tire pressure based on the standard pressure for your vehicle's tires, typically increasing it by about 0.2 bar.

Having driven for decades, I deeply understand the importance of tire pressure for safety. Too low tire pressure can cause excessive bending of the tire sidewalls, leading to overheating and blowouts during high-speed driving, especially during long summer trips when risks skyrocket. On the other hand, too high tire pressure results in excessive wear on the center of the tire, reduced grip, and a higher chance of skidding in rainy conditions. The correct pressure usually ranges between 30 to 35 PSI, with the exact value found in the vehicle manual or on the label inside the driver's door frame. I recommend forming a habit: check in the cold state, such as before driving in the morning; use an inexpensive tire pressure gauge to measure monthly; adjust with seasonal changes—lower by 2 PSI in winter due to cold contraction and restore in summer due to expansion. Don’t underestimate this small task—maintaining proper tire pressure can prevent accidents and give your family peace of mind while driving.

What is the professional name for a car's steering knuckle?

The professional name for a steering knuckle is 'Steering Knuckle'. It is one of the important components in a vehicle's steering system, enabling stable driving and transmitting the driver's steering actions. Below is relevant information: Function of the steering knuckle: The steering knuckle also needs to bear the front weight of the vehicle. While the vehicle is in motion, it must withstand varying impacts from the road surface, so designers generally make the steering knuckle with high strength. When the steering knuckle is damaged, the vehicle's steering performance will be affected, and the body rigidity will also decrease. Installation location: The steering knuckle is installed on the steering knuckle itself, and generally, only the front wheels have it. The steering knuckle is the hinge for wheel steering and is usually fork-shaped. The upper and lower forks have two coaxial holes for installing the kingpin, and the steering knuckle spindle is used to mount the wheel.

Do I need to take an exam if my driver's license has 11 points deducted?

No exam is required if 11 points are deducted from your driver's license. Only when all 12 points are deducted must you study and take an exam. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain their motor vehicle driver's license. Below is relevant information: Relevant regulations: The motor vehicle driver shall, within 15 days, attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security organ where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred. After the driver completes the study, the vehicle management office shall conduct an exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. Other regulations: If a motor vehicle driver is unable to process license renewal, inspection, or submission of physical condition proof within the specified time due to reasons such as military service or going abroad (overseas).

Do you need to look at traffic lights when turning right?

There are three situations where vehicles can turn right at a red light, as follows: Circular traffic light: If the circular traffic light at an intersection turns red, vehicles in the right-turn lane can turn right directly. However, you must be careful not to interfere with other vehicles, as well as pedestrians and vehicles on the road behind and to the right. Arrow-shaped right-turn indicator: If you encounter an arrow-shaped right-turn sign at an intersection, you cannot turn right when the red arrow is lit. If you turn right, you will be considered to have run a red light. Circular red light with an additional sign: At some intersections with complex road conditions, you may sometimes see a sign above the traffic light reminding drivers that right turns are allowed at a red light. If the sign says "Right Turn on Red," then you can turn right. If the sign says "No Right Turn on Red," you must wait for the green light before turning, otherwise it will be considered running a red light. Laws and regulations: According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," motor vehicle traffic signals and non-motor vehicle traffic signals indicate: When the green light is on, vehicles are allowed to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without non-motor vehicle traffic signals or pedestrian crossing signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the instructions of the motor vehicle traffic signals. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed provided they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the regulations on traffic lights are as follows: Article 25, Paragraph 2 states that traffic signals include traffic lights, traffic signs, traffic markings, and the directions of traffic police. Article 26 states that traffic lights consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition, a green light indicates permission, and a yellow light indicates a warning. Article 38 states that vehicles and pedestrians should follow traffic signals; when directed by traffic police on-site, they should follow the directions of the traffic police; on roads without traffic signals, they should proceed under the principles of safety and smooth traffic flow. Article 62 states that pedestrians crossing intersections or roads should use crosswalks or pedestrian facilities; when crossing at intersections with traffic signals, they should follow the traffic signals; when crossing at intersections without traffic signals or crosswalks, or when crossing roads without pedestrian facilities, they should proceed after confirming safety. Article 89 states that pedestrians, passengers, or non-motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws or regulations regarding road passage will be given a warning or fined between 5 and 50 yuan; non-motor vehicle drivers who refuse to accept the fine may have their non-motor vehicles impounded. Driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signals will result in a 6-point penalty. Precautions for right turns: Pay attention to straight-moving vehicles on the left: When turning right, you need to observe both the right and left sides for oncoming vehicles. Pay attention to left-turning vehicles from the opposite direction: In addition to observing straight-moving vehicles, you also need to check for left-turning vehicles from the opposite direction. When turning right, pay attention to vehicles on the left, whether they are turning left or going straight, and let them pass first. Pay attention to pedestrians: When turning right, besides the crosswalk before the intersection, there may also be a crosswalk at the corner. Be sure to check for pedestrians on the crosswalk when turning right.
