What Aspects Should Be Considered When Choosing a Car?

Choosing a car should start with safety, stability, fuel consumption, appearance, and resale value. Safety: Without safety, a car is like a bomb, and no one wants to live with a bomb. Regarding car safety, there are mainly two aspects: active safety and passive safety. Active safety includes the vehicle's driving safety systems: ABS, EBD, ESP, tire pressure monitoring, radar systems, etc. Passive safety includes the body structure frame, airbags, seat belts, etc. Every safety device in the car is important, so make sure to check them carefully when choosing. Stability: Even with safety, if the car requires frequent minor repairs every three days and major repairs every five days, no one can handle it—even if it's free, no one would dare to take it. Therefore, stability is what everyone needs. More stable performance ensures longer usage and helps save costs. Fuel Consumption: For ordinary people, although the difference in fuel consumption may not be huge, it adds up over time to a significant expense. Thus, it's better to choose a model with low fuel consumption to reduce daily costs. Appearance: An ugly appearance can affect your mood, and you might even feel embarrassed to drive it out. Resale Value: Life is too long to stick with one car forever; you'll likely switch cars a few times in between. Trying out different types of cars is part of the experience, so you must consider the car's resale value in the used car market. No one wants to buy a car at a sky-high price only to sell it for peanuts—it’s frustrating. Moreover, in the market, cars with high resale value usually have a large ownership base, indicating that their performance stability is widely recognized. Therefore, resale value is also a strong indicator of a car's quality.

How many days can a new car be driven without a temporary license plate?

New cars cannot be driven for even a single day without a temporary license plate. The use of a temporary license plate for a new car must not exceed 15 days. Introduction to Temporary License Plates: A temporary license plate is a paper motor vehicle license plate that permits temporary road use of a motor vehicle, also known as a temporary vehicle movement license plate. It refers to the temporary vehicle movement certificate issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau before the new vehicle is officially registered. Procedures for Applying for a Temporary License Plate: The applicant must hold a unit introduction letter, vehicle origin certificate, qualification certificate, and other relevant documents (except for the introduction letter, which is archived, the rest are returned to the applicant) and apply at the vehicle management office. During the application, the starting and ending locations of the vehicle's movement and the duration of the temporary license plate use must be specified.

Why Does the Car Keep Losing Water Even Though the Radiator Isn't Broken?

Because of leaks in the radiator or pipes and poor sealing of the cylinder head gasket. Effects of poor cylinder head gasket sealing: Reduces engine power and mechanical efficiency. During the engine's exhaust stroke, high-temperature gases in the cylinder cannot be completely expelled from the piston, and some gases escape to the surrounding engine area, damaging the vehicle's electrical circuits. It also reduces the engine's mechanical strength, and in severe cases, can lead to cylinder explosion. Function of the cylinder head gasket: The cylinder head gasket is installed between the cylinder head and the cylinder block. It ensures the sealing of the cylinder through cylinder head bolts, preventing the leakage of combustion gases, coolant, and lubricating oil. It must tightly seal the high-temperature and high-pressure gases generated inside the cylinder, as well as the pressurized and flowing coolant and engine oil passing through the gasket, and must withstand the corrosion from water, gases, and oil.

Can You Wear Headphones While Driving?

You can wear Bluetooth headphones for answering calls, but wearing headphones on both ears is not allowed as it may distract the driver. Notes on listening to music with headphones: If you wear headphones to listen to music while driving, it's important to choose the right situations. Some conditions, such as rain, snow, fog, or poor visibility, are not suitable for listening to music as it may impair the driver's senses, induce impatience, and compromise driving safety. Recommended headphone volume: Additionally, when wearing headphones while driving, it's crucial to control the volume. Due to the confined space inside the car, high volume levels can generate infrasound waves that harm hearing health and create noise pollution. Loud volumes can also divert auditory attention, endangering driving safety. The ideal volume should "parallel" the regular noise produced by the vehicle during driving—loud enough to not be "drowned out" by heavy acceleration, yet not so loud as to mask abnormal sounds from outside the vehicle when idling.
