Road center yellow dashed lines are used to separate opposing traffic flows. If there is a yellow solid and dashed line in the center of the road, vehicles are prohibited from crossing the line or making left turns on the solid side, while vehicles are allowed to cross the line for overtaking or making left turns on the dashed side. Here is more information about yellow lines: 1. Single solid yellow line: Strictly prohibited from crossing, such as overtaking, turning, or making U-turns. Under normal driving conditions, vehicles should not cross this line. Driving over solid lines is not allowed, and making U-turns is considered a violation of prohibited markings, resulting in 3 penalty points and a fine of 200 RMB. 2. Single yellow dashed line: Overtaking or making U-turns is permitted when safe to do so. Single yellow lines serve as center dividing lines to separate opposing traffic flows. Yellow dashed lines allow temporary crossing for lane changes when driving; solid lines should be treated as a wall, strictly prohibiting any crossing. Roads with four or more lanes in both directions are marked with double yellow lines, while those with fewer lanes use single yellow lines.

What does the wrench icon on the vehicle mean?

The wrench symbol displayed on the vehicle's dashboard is a reminder that the vehicle requires maintenance. This indicator is the maintenance reminder light. After the vehicle maintenance is completed, resetting the maintenance mileage program will eliminate the light. It is not a vehicle malfunction, so there is no need to worry excessively. Purpose of the maintenance reminder light: The maintenance cycle of the vehicle is preset by the manufacturer in the vehicle's onboard computer during production. When the vehicle's mileage reaches the maintenance cycle, the "wrench symbol" on the dashboard will illuminate to promptly remind the driver to perform maintenance. Typically, the maintenance cycle mileage is set between 5,000 kilometers and 8,000 kilometers. Regular vehicle maintenance: Regular maintenance ensures the vehicle remains in good working condition. Neglecting maintenance can cause unnecessary damage and compromise driving safety. Vehicle maintenance generally refers to the periodic inspection, cleaning, replenishment, lubrication, adjustment, or replacement of certain parts as a preventive measure. There is a saying in the automotive industry: "Three parts driving, seven parts maintenance," highlighting the importance of regular vehicle upkeep.

Why Do Touch-Up Pens Corrode the Original Car Paint?

This is because the main component of touch-up pens is paint, but they also contain some solvents that can dissolve the paint. Some inferior touch-up pens contain higher levels of solvents, which can corrode the original car paint. The purpose of a touch-up pen is to cover exposed metal to prevent rust, repair scratches, and serve as a temporary solution. Function of Touch-Up Pens: Touch-up pens are one of the tools for repairing car scratches. As an immediate paint treatment method, many people use touch-up pens. They can handle relatively small and shallow scratches by covering them up, making the scratches less noticeable. The results are decent, though not as good as the original paint, but much better than leaving the scratches untreated. While touch-up pens can fill in gaps and block contact between air and the car's surface, providing some rust prevention, they cannot replace professional automotive rust-proof paint. How to Use a Touch-Up Pen: When using a touch-up pen, simply select the appropriate model that matches the original car paint color. Apply the touch-up pen to small scratches or areas where the paint has peeled off to repair, conceal, and smooth out the damage. The components of a touch-up pen are generally the same as the original car paint, but since car models vary, only specialized touch-up pens can be used for different vehicles.

I went straight in a variable left-turn lane, will there be any consequences?

Variable lanes require driving according to the indicated direction. If the variable lane indicates going straight, there will be no penalty. However, if you go straight when the variable lane indicates a left turn, this constitutes driving in the wrong lane and will result in a penalty, including 2 demerit points and a fine. Follow the directions: Variable lanes require driving according to the indicated direction. If the variable lane indicates going straight, there will be no penalty. If you go straight when it indicates a left turn, this constitutes driving in the wrong lane and will result in a penalty, including 2 demerit points and a fine. Pay attention to the directions: When passing through a variable lane, pay attention to the indicated direction. There are usually signs before entering the variable lane. Some signs are on the median strip in the middle of the road, some are at the base of the traffic light pole, and others are directly above the road. These signs indicate the current status of the variable lane—whether it is for going straight or turning left. Just follow the direction indicated by the signs.

How often should a new car be waxed?

For a new car, it is advisable to wax it every two to three months. It is best to wax the car once before the rainy season and once before winter. The advantages and disadvantages of car waxing are as follows: Advantages of waxing: Protection against high temperatures. Car wax can reflect incoming light from different directions, preventing it from penetrating the clear coat. This helps to delay the aging and discoloration of the base paint, thereby extending the lifespan of the paint and preventing fading. Protection against UV rays. Similar to protection against high temperatures, UV rays from sunlight can damage the car's paint. Car wax can significantly reduce the harm caused by UV rays to the paint. Disadvantages of waxing: Prone to oxidation. Car wax uses petroleum as a solvent, making it highly susceptible to oxidation. It typically begins to oxidize after about half a month and fully oxidizes within a month, thus failing to provide long-term protection for the paint. Potential paint wear. If the waxing is performed by an unskilled technician, it can easily result in fine circular scratches on the car's surface.
