Run-flat tire structural explosion prevention principle: The reason why RSC run-flat tires do not collapse after air leakage is mainly due to the thickened rubber sidewalls. Even when air pressure is lost, the sidewalls can still support the vehicle's weight without causing severe deformation. Below is an introduction to RSC: 1. To prevent the tire from detaching from the rim after deformation, the rim is specially designed with protrusions that prevent the tire from coming off after a sudden pressure drop. Vehicles equipped with run-flat tires may not alert the driver to minor air leaks, so RSC also includes a TPI electronic warning system installed on the rim. Once tire pressure begins to drop, RSC immediately alerts the driver. 2. The design principle of RSC run-flat tires relies on sturdy sidewalls to provide support. Another design for run-flat tires involves installing a device called a fixed ring inside the tire. This fixed ring supports the tire from the inside, preventing it from being crushed and also stopping the tire from detaching from the tire bead.

Does the supplementary page of the driver's license need to be replaced when renewing?

The supplementary page of the driver's license needs to be replaced. The supplementary page will be updated together when a new driver's license is issued, but the file number will not change. Materials required for renewing an expired driver's license: Prepare 2 one-inch photos and a medical examination certificate. One of the photos should be pasted in the upper right corner of the medical examination form, and the other should be kept for the new license. Bring your ID card and driver's license to the license processing hall, fill out the renewal application form, then submit the documents, medical examination certificate, and renewal application form to the staff, pay the processing fee, and wait to receive the new license. Before renewing, check if there are any unprocessed traffic violations. If there are, they must be dealt with first; otherwise, the renewal will not be processed. Arrange the renewal time reasonably to avoid expiration. If the license is not renewed after expiration and you are checked by traffic police, you will be fined but not penalized with points. It is best to have the photos and medical examination certificate prepared directly at the traffic police station's license processing hall. Otherwise, self-provided materials may be deemed unqualified, requiring re-taking photos and medical examinations, which will waste time. The renewal is usually completed on the spot, but in some large cities, it may take a few days, but no more than 15 days. The new license must be processed and then notified for collection.

What is the normal tire pressure for driving in summer?

In summer, it is generally sufficient to maintain the tire pressure at the lower limit of the standard range. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4 bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can usually be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to avoid blowouts due to high temperatures. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the car while driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks and blowouts.

Is it okay to park an automatic transmission car in neutral?

Parking an automatic transmission car in neutral is not recommended as it constitutes coasting in neutral. Here is an introduction to coasting in neutral: 1. Introduction to coasting in neutral: During vehicle operation, the driver places the gear shift lever in the neutral position, disengaging the clutch between the engine and the drive wheels, and relies on the vehicle's inertia to move. 2. Hazards of coasting in neutral: It damages the braking system and endangers personal safety. When coasting in neutral, the "internal braking" effect is lost because the engine and transmission are disconnected. If the vehicle in front stops suddenly when the distance between two cars is short, and the rear car is coasting in neutral, the rear car can only rely entirely on the wheel braking system, making rear-end collisions highly likely.

How Many Chances Are Given for the Subject 2 Test?

For the Subject 2 test, if the initial attempt is unsuccessful, one retake is allowed. If the applicant does not participate in the retake or fails the retake, the current test session is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled attempts for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill tests must not exceed five. If the fifth scheduled test is still unsuccessful, the passing scores of other subjects already taken will be invalidated. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, deductions of 20, 10, or 5 points. The test is considered passed if the following conditions are met: ① For applicants of large passenger vehicles, trailers, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, or large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. The test items for large vehicles (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2) include: pole test, hill start and stop, parallel parking, single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turn, narrow gate, continuous obstacles, bumpy road, narrow road U-turn, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. The test items for small vehicles (C1, C2) include: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start and stop (cancelled for C2), right-angle turn, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curve), which are the five mandatory items (some regions include a sixth item: highway toll card collection).
