There are several issues to pay attention to when driving in the rainy season: 1. Before driving: Check whether the wipers are working properly, how effective the wiper blades are, and whether the tire pressure is appropriate. Walk around the car to see if there are any foreign objects under the car to ensure safety before driving. 2. Check low-lying areas prone to water accumulation: If the depth of the water cannot be judged, do not drive in rashly; wait to see if other vehicles pass through before making a decision. 3. Remove fog from the front windshield: Turn on the cold air to blow toward the front windshield, or use a defogging agent to remove it. 4. Parking location: When parking in the rain, avoid parking under trees, near billboards, or utility poles.

What Causes Lack of Power After an Oil Change?

Here are the reasons for lack of power after an oil change: Oil Viscosity and Quality: Choosing the right oil viscosity for your vehicle model is crucial. If the oil viscosity is too thin, it will definitely affect the oil's performance, impacting both the engine's operation and power output. Additionally, the quality of the oil must be carefully considered, as inferior oil often lacks reliable quality assurance, which can lead to sluggish acceleration without obvious warning. Oil Fill Level: If too much oil is added, the excess can easily enter the combustion chamber (due to excessive internal pressure), forming gummy carbon deposits. While the initial impact may not be noticeable, over time, the buildup of carbon deposits will worsen, not only reducing the vehicle's overall performance but also clogging the catalytic converter, leading to excessive emissions (and increased fuel consumption). In severe cases, it may even cause oil burning. Oil Filter: If the oil filter is not replaced during the oil change, it can also result in sluggish performance. The oil filter's primary function is to remove contaminants, sludge, and moisture from the oil. If not replaced regularly, even with fresh oil, the pollutants from the old filter can re-enter the new oil, compromising its effectiveness.

Which Wire to Cut to Start a Motorcycle?

Motorcycle can be started by cutting the dual-wire alternating ignition wire. The method to start a motorcycle without a key is to connect the red and black wires together. Locate the ignition wires, one red and one black, where red is positive and black is negative. Touching the two wire ends together will start the motorcycle. Here is additional information: Ignition System: Includes the ignition coil, CDI igniter, high-voltage coil, spark plug, etc. Principle: The primary electricity generated by the motorcycle's ignition coil enters the igniter, then the current from the igniter goes into the high-voltage coil. The high-intensity current from the high-voltage coil enters the spark plug to ignite and burn the gasoline in the cylinder, pushing the crankshaft to work under high explosive pressure.

Do Traffic Cameras Capture Motorcycle Violations?

Motorcycles are classified as motor vehicles, so any traffic violations committed by motorcycles will definitely be captured by nearby cameras if they are present. Below are the key points regarding violations and methods to check for them: Violation Considerations: Cameras capable of capturing motorcycle violations are generally newer models. For instance, cameras installed after 2016 can detect motorcycles, whereas older traffic light cameras primarily target cars. Additionally, it's important to note that these high-definition cameras not only record red-light running but also monitor offenses such as riding without a helmet and overloading motorcycles. Methods to Check Violations: You can check for violations, including those involving motorcycles, on traffic violation inquiry websites. Simply enter the license plate number, engine number, and vehicle identification number (VIN) to access the information.

What are the hazards of low tire pressure?

The hazards of low tire pressure are: 1. Increased road friction coefficient, leading to higher fuel consumption; 2. Heavier steering wheel, prone to deviation, which is unfavorable for driving safety; 3. Increased movement of various parts of the tire, excessive rolling may cause abnormal tire heating; 4. Reduced performance of cords and rubber, leading to cord breakage, delamination between the cord and rim, or excessive friction, causing bead damage and abnormal wear; 5. Increased friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and reduced strength, which may lead to tire blowout; 6. Too low tire pressure increases the deformation of the tire body, causing sidewall cracks, flexing movement, resulting in overheating, rubber aging, accelerated shoulder wear, and shortened tire service life.

Why is the motorcycle handlebar heavy?

Motorcycle handlebar heaviness is caused by poor lubrication of the steering stem bearings. A motorcycle, driven by a gasoline engine and steered by handlebars to control the front wheel, is a two or three-wheeled vehicle that is lightweight, flexible, and fast-moving. It is widely used for patrol, passenger and cargo transportation, and also serves as sports equipment. Below is an introduction to motorcycle driving licenses D, E, and F: D License: License code: D, Application age: 18-60 years, Vehicle type allowed: Regular two-wheeled motorcycle, Allowed vehicle models: Three-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed greater than 50km/h, Other allowed vehicle models: E, F, Annual physical exam: Not required for those under 60 years old, Test vehicle requirements: At least a four-speed regular front three-wheeled motorcycle or regular side three-wheeled motorcycle. E License: License code: E, Application age: 18-60 years, Vehicle type allowed: Regular two-wheeled motorcycle, Allowed vehicle models: Two-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed greater than 50km/h, Other allowed vehicle models: F, Annual physical exam: Not required for those under 60 years old, Test vehicle requirements: At least a four-speed regular two-wheeled motorcycle. F License: License code: F, Application age: 18-70 years, Vehicle type allowed: Light motorcycle, Allowed vehicle models: Motorcycles with an engine displacement less than or equal to 50ml and a maximum design speed less than or equal to 50km/h, Other allowed vehicle models: Only F, no other allowed vehicle models, Annual physical exam: Not required for those under 60 years old, Test vehicle requirements: To be specified by the provincial public security authority's traffic management department.

Will ETC Stop Working If Removed from the Windshield?

ETC will indeed become deactivated if removed by yourself, as the ETC device is equipped with an anti-tamper feature. There is a small switch on the back of the ETC electronic tag. Once it is peeled off the windshield, the internal switch will automatically shut off. Therefore, you must bring the vehicle's registration certificate to the ETC service provider for reactivation. ETC Billing Principle: There are one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations, the system uses computer networking technology to settle payments with banks in the background. This allows vehicles to pay toll fees without stopping at toll booths, all based on the principle of "pass first, deduct later." Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues. Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping, thereby lowering pollution. Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by minimizing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, thus reducing wear and fuel consumption. Improved efficiency: Theoretically, ETC lanes can increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council explicitly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, intercity transportation smart cards should be widely adopted in key urban clusters, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC should significantly increase." The plan also set a target of "achieving a 50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020" in the main indicators of comprehensive transportation development during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period. More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote ETC adoption for trucks in the future. There will also be exploration into deeper integration of ETC systems with vehicle-to-vehicle communication, vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination, and other smart transportation developments, providing comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC usage. Precautions for Installing ETC: Avoid obstructing the driver's view—it's best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have windshields with a steep rearward tilt, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If ETC installation doesn't account for this, it may increase blind spots. Installing it on the right side behind the rearview mirror can help avoid blocking the view. Ensure uninterrupted charging: The ETC electronic tag requires power but generally doesn't need manual charging or battery replacement because it has a built-in solar panel for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or positions that might block the solar panel. Do not remove it randomly once installed: The adhesive backing includes an anti-tamper rod connected to a switch. Once the tag is installed on the windshield, the rod is pressed in. If removed, the rod pops out, triggering the switch and locking the electronic tag, rendering it unusable. You would then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This feature prevents multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Notes for Using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid paying for the vehicle ahead due to its faulty ETC device, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters from the preceding car. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h—exceeding this speed may result in failed transactions due to unreadable device information. If using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause transaction failures.
