According to Article 79 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law", when a motor vehicle exits the highway, it should turn on the right turn signal, enter the deceleration lane, and exit after reducing speed. When a motor vehicle enters the highway from the ramp, it should turn on the left turn signal and enter the lane without hindering the normal driving of vehicles already on the highway. Turn signals are important indicator lights that are turned on when a motor vehicle changes direction to alert vehicles and pedestrians around. The turn signals on a car are divided into left and right turn signals. Precautions for using turn signals: When overtaking, first turn on the left turn signal, then the right turn signal after overtaking. Turn on the left signal when entering the highway. When exiting the highway, always turn right. No signal is needed when entering a roundabout, but the right turn signal should be turned on when exiting the roundabout. Turn on the right turn signal when parking by the roadside. When leaving the road, always turn left, so turn on the left turn signal. Generally, turn left when making a U-turn, so turn on the left turn signal. Turn on the left turn signal when changing lanes to the left, and the right turn signal when changing lanes to the right. When preparing to turn, turn on the signal in advance to give the driver behind a reaction time. Key points for driving in the deceleration lane and ramp: After the vehicle enters the deceleration lane, the turn signal can be turned off, and the speed can be reduced by intermittent braking. Avoid sudden braking to reduce speed. Due to long-term high-speed driving, drivers may become numb to speed, so they should judge the speed reduction by observing the speedometer. After entering the ramp, pay attention to merging vehicles from other ramps. Do not stop or overtake in the deceleration lane or ramp. Exiting the highway exit: When approaching the toll station, be prepared to stop at any time, slow down, and maintain a proper distance from the manual toll window to avoid the embarrassment of having to get out of the car to pay if the distance is too far. If using an ETC card, select the ETC-only lane in advance and pass through at a reduced speed. If queuing to pay, maintain a safe distance to avoid rear-end collisions. Prepare the toll card and fee in advance to avoid delays. Do not unfasten the seat belt when paying.

When exiting the highway, I usually turn on the turn signal about 200 meters in advance. After all, I've been teaching driving for so many years and often remind students that this habit can save lives. On the highway, speeds are so high that vehicles behind you can't see your intentions, making rear-end collisions or lane-changing conflicts very likely. I remember one time when someone forgot to signal and abruptly cut out, resulting in a four-car pileup. So, it's not just about using the turn signal—you also need to check the rearview mirror and blind spots to ensure a safe distance before entering the ramp. If it's dark or foggy, I also turn on the headlights to increase visibility. After developing this habit, I noticed a significant drop in accident rates. New drivers should find an experienced driver to guide them and practice several times to get it right. Safety first—don't cut corners.

I'm a newly licensed driver who used to get nervous on highways, especially when exiting. I remember my instructor always emphasized turning on the right turn signal in advance. Now whenever I see an exit sign, I signal early while gently braking to slow down, avoiding startling vehicles behind me. Once, I exited without signaling and almost got rear-ended by a truck – that lesson made me develop the habit of checking blind spots first before signaling and merging. I also use mobile navigation with exit reminders to reinforce my reactions. Though simple, this process is crucial for beginners to avoid many scary situations.

Having gotten used to driving my small car to pick up and drop off my family, turning on the turn signal before exiting the highway is a must. As soon as I see the exit sign, I immediately turn on the signal, change lanes slowly, and ensure the safety of both myself and others. In daily driving, this small action is not hard to remember; the key is to develop the habit and not be lazy.

What is the small square in front of the car?

The small square below the car's headlights is the headlight cleaning device, used to clean dust from the surface of the headlights. There are two structural modes for the headlight cleaning device. Scrubbing system: Used for glass diffusers, because although plastic diffusers have wear-resistant coatings, they are still relatively sensitive to mechanical cleaning. This type of cleaning system can still be seen in older generation models. High-pressure cleaning system: Used on both glass and plastic diffusers. The cleaning effect mainly depends on the distance between the nozzle and the diffuser, the size of the water droplets, the contact angle, the speed of the water spray, and the amount of water sprayed.

How wide is a lane in meters?

A two-way four-lane road is 2x7.5 meters, a two-way six-lane road is 2x11.25 meters, and a two-way eight-lane road is 2x15 meters. Meaning of lane width: Lane width (also known as standard lane width) refers to the width required for a single line of vehicles to travel safely and comfortably on the road, including the external width of the design vehicle and the necessary clearance for passing, overtaking, or parallel driving. Detailed explanation of lane width standards: The national standard specifies the width of each motor vehicle lane on highways. For multi-lane roads above the third grade, the width of each motor vehicle lane is 3.5-3.75 meters. There is no uniform standard for the central median strip, which is determined based on local conditions. A simple cement central median strip is one meter wide.

What is the efficiency of gear transmission?

The efficiency of gear transmission is related to the type of gear, machining accuracy, and lubrication conditions. Generally, the efficiency of cylindrical spur gear transmission ranges from 0.9 to 0.99, with commonly used Grade 8 cylindrical spur gears achieving 0.97. For bevel gears, the efficiency ranges from 0.88 to 0.98, with commonly used Grade 8 bevel gears achieving 0.94 to 0.97. Definition of gear transmission: It refers to a mechanism that transmits motion and power through a pair of gears, and it is the most widely used mechanical transmission method in modern equipment. It offers accurate transmission ratios, high efficiency, compact structure, reliable operation, and long service life. Characteristics of gear transmission: High transmission accuracy. Belt drives cannot ensure precise transmission ratios, and chain drives cannot achieve constant instantaneous transmission ratios. However, the commonly used modern involute gears provide theoretically accurate and constant transmission ratios. This is not only a critical requirement for precision machinery and instruments but also an essential condition for reducing dynamic loads and achieving smooth transmission under high-speed and heavy-load conditions.

What does a snowflake inside a triangle indicate?

A snowflake inside a triangle indicates that the outside temperature is low, warning of potential icy road conditions and advising cautious driving. Explanation: This is not a malfunction indicator or an activation of snow mode. Vehicles equipped with this feature typically issue a reminder when the external temperature drops below 4 degrees Celsius, as drivers may not sense the temperature change inside the car. The vehicle is equipped with external temperature sensors that continuously monitor ambient conditions. These sensors relay temperature data to the control system, which contains temperature-based alerts. When the external temperature falls below a preset threshold, the system triggers this warning. Precautions for driving in icy conditions: Snowy roads are slippery with reduced traction, significantly increasing driving risks. It's essential to reduce speed and increase following distance to prevent rear-end collisions due to excessive speed. In case of sudden incidents, avoid sharp steering maneuvers to prevent loss of traction and potential skidding.

What are car stickers?

Car stickers are decals applied to cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles for aesthetic purposes. The primary material used is PVC outdoor-specific adhesive paper designed to withstand outdoor conditions, which requires greater wear resistance and UV protection compared to standard advertising-grade materials. Car Sticker Materials: The main material for car stickers is PVC outdoor-specific adhesive paper that can endure outdoor environments. It demands higher durability and UV resistance than ordinary advertising materials. Although the textures and colors aren't as diverse as clothing fabrics, there are still numerous options available, including standard, glow-in-the-dark, metallic reflective, laser reflective, and metal brushed finishes. Car stickers can be applied virtually anywhere on the vehicle—both sides of the body, the hood, headlight brows, side skirts, and even wheel rims—as long as the designs comply with current regulations, allowing car owners to fully express their personal style. Uses of Car Stickers: Beyond beautifying the vehicle, alerting others, and showcasing individuality, car stickers can also protect the paintwork and conceal scratches. If a car accidentally gets scratched, affecting its appearance, applying a car sticker can be a quick fix. Additionally, if reflective materials are used for the stickers, they can enhance nighttime driving safety.

What is the standard tire pressure value?

The normal range of car tire pressure is between 2.3-2.5 bar. The tire pressure value can be found on the back of the fuel tank cap and in the vehicle's user manual. Different types of vehicles have different tire pressure values, which should be determined based on the car's usage conditions. Excessive tire pressure: First, check if the tire can still continue to be driven. If possible, drive to the nearest repair shop for handling. If the tire pressure is too low to continue driving, safely park the vehicle and replace it with a spare tire, or contact the insurance company for assistance. If excessive tire pressure is detected, the solution is definitely to release some air. If excessive tire pressure is noticed while driving, do not immediately release air, as tire pressure increases during high-speed driving. Also, do not attempt to use cold water to aid in cooling. Instead, wait for the tire to cool down before conducting an inspection. After the tire temperature has decreased, if the tire pressure is indeed found to be too high, then release some air. Checking the pressure value: Car tire pressure can be monitored using direct tire pressure monitoring systems. Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire's air pressure. The pressure information is then transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which displays the tire pressure data for each tire. Generally, the maximum load and corresponding pressure are indicated, with the load measured in "kilograms" and the pressure (tire pressure) measured in "kilopascals".
