Violation code 1073 means: Driving a motor vehicle with components that do not meet technical standards. According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the penalty is: Demerit points (deduction): 0 points; Fine amount: 200 yuan; Other penalties: None. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, classified according to the principles of the traffic law. The order from left to right is: the first digit represents the behavior classification code, the second digit represents the demerit points classification code, the third and fourth digits are sequential numbers, and the fifth digit indicates the specific item number. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category of the violation in the Road Traffic Law; Second digit: Demerit points classification code, indicating the category of demerit points for the traffic violation; Third, fourth, and fifth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of the violation within the same behavior category. For example: 13035—"1" indicates a motor vehicle behavior, the second digit "3" indicates 3 demerit points, and "035" indicates the fifth item of the third violation under the 3-point deduction category. Behavior classification code violation descriptions: Codes starting with "1" indicate motor vehicle traffic, e.g., 1003; Codes starting with "2" indicate non-motor vehicle traffic, e.g., 2002; Codes starting with "3" indicate pedestrian or passenger traffic, e.g., 3030; Codes starting with "4" indicate highway traffic, e.g., 4002; Codes starting with "5" indicate other regulations, e.g., 5005; Codes starting with "7" indicate implementation rules of provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities, e.g., 7008; Codes starting with "8" indicate local regulations of cities (regions, autonomous prefectures, or leagues), e.g., 8606. There are four common ways to check motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic branches in various districts and counties to query through touch terminals; Log in to the external service websites of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of each city, find the vehicle violation query section, enter the license plate number and engine number, and click to query; Call (area code + 114) to inquire; Use the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to query. The violation of driving a motor vehicle with components that do not meet technical standards can be handled through this Traffic Management app. After logging in, enter the violation processing business process, complete the handling, and make the payment.

I recently looked this up while driving. Traffic violation code 1073 represents carrying passengers in violation of regulations, which means overloading people or not carrying passengers in the prescribed manner. For example, for the sedan I drive, the vehicle registration certificate states it seats 5 people. If I squeeze an extra friend in and get caught by a camera, I might be fined under code 1073. This is because exceeding the approved passenger capacity, like having 6 people in a 5-seater, is not only dangerous but also illegal. Overloading seriously affects braking distance and steering stability, easily leading to accidents, especially on highways. The penalty is usually a fine of around 200 yuan and 1-3 demerit points, depending on the region. For safety, I recommend checking the passenger capacity on the vehicle registration certificate before driving and not overloading for convenience. Avoiding this type of violation is simple: only carry the approved number of passengers, and don’t let children or items occupy seating space. This not only saves money but also protects you and your passengers.

From my understanding, traffic violation code 1073 refers to motor vehicles improperly carrying passengers or cargo, specifically exceeding the vehicle's rated passenger capacity or illegal modifications. For example, in my experience, I've seen many pickup trucks penalized under this code for carrying more passengers than allowed, such as carrying 6 people in a vehicle rated for 5, resulting in fines and demerit points. Legally, it corresponds to Article 54 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," involving safety risks. Overloading can lead to vehicle weight imbalance, brake failure, and increase the risk of rollovers during turns or sudden braking. Penalties in most regions include fines ranging from 150 to 300 yuan and 2 demerit points. It is advisable for drivers to verify the passenger capacity listed on the vehicle's registration certificate before driving, especially for family vehicles, to avoid overloading for convenience, as violations will be recorded. Regular vehicle maintenance is also crucial to ensure the proper functioning of the load-carrying system.

What Are the Benefits of Four-Wheel Alignment Maintenance for Cars?

The most important aspects of four-wheel maintenance are dynamic balancing, checking for wear, and cross-rotation of the tires. It helps prevent the vehicle from pulling to one side and excessive wear on one side of the tires, significantly improving driving stability and safety, as well as extending the lifespan of the tires. Four-Wheel Alignment: Four-wheel alignment refers to the preset alignment angles of the vehicle's suspension system as designed by the manufacturer to ensure driving safety. Maintaining correct four-wheel alignment angles ensures the vehicle's straight-line stability, handling, and the recovery of the steering system. It prevents improper bearing stress and loss of precision, ensures tight contact between the tires and the road, reduces uneven tire wear, and enhances stability during turns. Precautions: When performing four-wheel alignment with an instrument, ensure the repair shop's alignment equipment is qualified. After alignment, check the printed data to confirm whether the front wheels' camber angle falls within the standard range.

What traffic sign is the Langwang P symbol?

The Langwang symbol is a parking area sign. It appears in the driver's license test signs, featuring a P with an arrow symbol, Langwang, and a cup symbol, indicating a parking area. This sign is used to indicate the location of a parking area and is placed at the starting point of the deceleration lane. In China, modern road traffic signs are divided into two main categories: primary signs and auxiliary signs. Primary signs: Primary signs can be further classified into four types based on their meanings: warning signs, prohibition signs, mandatory signs, and guide signs. Auxiliary signs: There are five types of auxiliary signs, which are attached below primary signs to provide additional information. These signs cannot be used independently. Auxiliary signs are further categorized based on their purpose, including time-related, vehicle type-related, distance-related, warning and prohibition reason-related, and combined auxiliary signs. They are rectangular in shape with a white background, black text, and a black border. Additionally, there are variable traffic information signs that display real-time information based on road conditions (such as construction, congestion, traffic flow, direction changes, weather conditions, etc.), conveying messages to drivers and pedestrians. The functions of traffic signs include the following three aspects: Visual information: 90% of the information received while driving is visual. Human visual characteristics, such as depth and width of vision, eye movement, color recognition, effects of brightness and glare, speed judgment, etc., are fundamental considerations in setting up traffic signs. Information needs: Almost all information is received through visual communication. Therefore, when setting up traffic signs, attention should be paid to their visibility, comprehensibility, reliability, and positioning. Information processing: A driver's task includes acquiring information, processing it, selecting an action plan, implementing it, and repeating the process to observe the results. Due to the limitations of human behavior and the complex relationship between drivers, vehicles, and road environments, this process is highly intricate. When setting up traffic signs, factors such as driver expectations, reaction time, and short-term memory should also be considered.

What rituals are needed when buying a new car for the family?

When bringing a new car home, some car owners have certain traditions, such as hanging red cloth, hosting a celebratory meal, setting off firecrackers, or sticking a gecko sticker on the rear of the car. These practices mainly depend on personal preferences. Choosing an auspicious date: Some car owners even pay attention to the date when purchasing a car. Besides avoiding days that clash with their zodiac sign, they also need to steer clear of inauspicious dates like 'Po Ri' (breaking day) or 'Shou Si Ri' (death day), which are considered unsuitable for buying a car. Applying a gecko sticker: The Chinese pronunciation of 'gecko' sounds like 'protection,' symbolizing safe travels and vehicle security. It is considered a very auspicious emblem. Hanging red cloth or red ribbons on the new car: In China, red represents joy and good fortune and is believed to ward off evil spirits. Tying red ribbons to a new car symbolizes safe travels and smooth journeys, bringing good luck.

Is It Normal for New Cars to Grind Brake Pads?

It is normal for new cars to grind brake pads. Reasons for new cars grinding brake pads: This occurs because the brake pads and discs of a new car have not yet been properly worn in. The issue will resolve after some driving. Note that sometimes after driving in the rain, there may be unusual noises the next morning—this is normal due to slight rust on the brake disc surface. Prolonged inactivity can also cause noises, so regular driving helps prevent wear and tear. Details to consider when choosing brake pads: Check the friction coefficient, which determines the basic braking torque of the brake pads. If it's too high, it can cause wheel lock-up, loss of control, or overheating during braking; if too low, it may result in excessively long braking distances. Consider safety—brake pads generate instant high temperatures during braking, especially during high-speed driving or emergency stops. At high temperatures, the friction coefficient may decrease. Assess comfort, including braking feel, noise, dust, smoke, and odors, as these directly reflect the friction performance.
