Here are the detailed techniques for parallel parking: 1. Identify the starting point: Taking right-side parking as an example, the car should be positioned 1.2-1.8 meters away from the left line at the starting point, with the steering wheel straight and the car body parallel to the left line. When reversing, use the lower edge of the left rearview mirror as a reference. When the two align, turn the steering wheel fully to the right and continue reversing. 2. Control the corner point: Watch the right rearview mirror. When you spot the corner of the parking space, observe the distance between the corner and the car body. If the distance is less than 30 cm, turn the steering wheel back half a turn and continue reversing. Once the car body is inside the parking space and parallel to the parking lines, turn the steering wheel back one full turn. If the distance is not less than 30 cm, do not turn the steering wheel back; keep reversing until the car body is parallel to the parking lines, then turn the steering wheel back one and a half turns at once. 3. Align the stopping point: The stopping point is where you stop after entering the parking space. The reference method is the same as for the starting point. When you see the lower edge of the left mirror align with the shoulder line of the parking space, stop the car.

How Does a Car Horn Work?

Car horn works as follows: when the horn button on the steering wheel or other locations is pressed, current from the battery flows through the circuit to the electromagnetic coil of the horn relay. The electromagnetic coil attracts the movable contact switch of the relay to close, allowing current to flow to the horn. The current causes the electromagnet inside the horn to operate, vibrating the diaphragm to produce sound. Types of electric horns: 1. According to the power source, car horns can be divided into electric horns and air horns; 2. By shape, they can be classified as spiral, cylindrical, and disc types; 3. By audio frequency, they can be categorized as high-pitch and low-pitch horns; 4. By wiring method, they can be divided into single-wire and double-wire horns.

Is the Illumination Distance of Vehicle Lights from Far to Near at Night?

When driving at night, the illumination distance of vehicle lights is not from far to near, but from near to far. Below are specific hazards of indiscriminate use of high beams while driving: Instant Blindness: During nighttime encounters, the dazzling light from high beams can cause instant blindness to the vision of oncoming drivers. The duration of blindness varies depending on the driver's own eyesight and the surrounding environment, lasting about 2 seconds, significantly reducing the ability to observe pedestrians and vehicles in the vicinity. Inability to Observe When Rear Vehicles Use High Beams: When a rear vehicle turns on high beams, large areas of glare appear in the three rearview mirrors of the front vehicle. The glare in the front mirrors reduces the visible range of the road ahead.
