When a motor vehicle passes sharp turns, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic signal control at night, it should alternately use high and low beam lights to signal. When a motor vehicle is driving at night with no street lights, poor lighting, or in low visibility conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, it should turn on the headlights, clearance lights, and tail lights, but high beam lights should not be used when following another vehicle. Motor vehicles driving in foggy conditions should turn on fog lights and hazard warning flashers. The fog light control lever is usually located below the left side of the steering wheel, with a length similar to the radius of the steering wheel, making it easy to operate while holding the steering wheel. It can control the switching between high and low beams, left and right turn signals, the turning on and off of lights, and the activation and deactivation of front and rear fog lights.

As an enthusiast who drives on mountain roads year-round, I pay special attention to safety during nighttime sharp turns. When navigating sharp bends, I strongly recommend using low beams instead of high beams. Low beams ensure you can see the road ahead clearly while avoiding glaring lights that could impair the vision of oncoming drivers. Imagine a car suddenly appearing around a bend—high beams could dazzle the other driver, potentially causing an accident. When driving, I always make it a habit to switch to low beams dozens of meters in advance, combined with appropriate deceleration and honking. This not only follows regulations but also protects everyone’s safety. Nighttime visibility is already poor, and with curves obstructing the view, proper light usage is crucial. I remember once during rainy conditions on a bend, my timely light adjustment helped me avoid a dangerous situation, reinforcing this practice. In short, safe driving isn’t just about yourself—choosing the right lights reduces risks for everyone.

Having driven heavy trucks for over a decade, I've navigated countless nighttime curves on long hauls. Whenever approaching sharp bends, I always switch to low beams—while high beams work fine on straightaways, they can easily blind oncoming drivers during turns. Slowing down combined with proper light adjustment keeps everything under control. I also make it a habit to periodically check my headlight condition, ensuring the bulbs haven't dimmed with age. Experience taught me that light management directly impacts safety, especially on high-speed nighttime curves. New drivers often ask why not use high beams to scout the road—truth is, low beams suffice by illuminating the path without disturbing others. After adopting this practice, my accident rate dropped significantly, making drives much more reassuring.

Where is the windshield washer fluid filling location?

Automotive windshield washer fluid should be added through the windshield washer fluid reservoir filler port, which is located in the engine compartment of the vehicle. Here is a detailed introduction to the functions of windshield washer fluid: 1. Cleaning performance: Windshield washer fluid is formulated with various surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically have functions such as wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing, thereby achieving cleaning and stain removal effects. 2. Antifreeze performance: It can significantly lower the freezing point of the liquid, providing antifreeze protection and quickly dissolving frost. 3. Anti-fog performance: A single-molecule protective layer forms on the glass surface. This protective film prevents the formation of fog droplets, ensuring the windshield remains clear and transparent with unobstructed visibility. 4. Anti-static performance: After cleaning with windshield washer fluid, substances adsorbed on the glass surface can eliminate surface charges, providing anti-static properties.
