When passing through a straight intersection, you should alternately use high and low beams. Here are the specific details: 1. Regulations: During nighttime when streetlights are on, or when driving in low visibility conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, you must turn on the headlights, clearance lights, and tail lights. When turning, changing lanes, overtaking, making a U-turn, or pulling over, you should activate the turn signal 100 to 50 meters in advance. 2. Precautions: There are clear regulations regarding the use of lights. Failure to use lights as required will result in a penalty of 1 point. When a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic signals and turns left, the turn signal must be activated, and the low beam must be used when driving at night. When a following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction, high beams should not be used.

What is the reason for insufficient air pressure after stepping on the brakes several times?

The reason for insufficient air pressure after stepping on the brakes several times is a problem with the brake valve. Problems with the brake valve: When the vehicle's air reservoir cannot store enough compressed air, the brake valve's air supply is insufficient; air leaks in the brake valve pipeline or blockages in the air circuit can both result in insufficient compressed air pressure generated by the braking system during braking. Braking with air pressure: During air pressure braking, when the driver steps on the brake pedal, the brake control valve opens, connecting the passage from the air reservoir to the brake chamber. This allows the compressed air in the air reservoir to enter the brake chamber through the brake control valve. Sufficient air pressure pushes the brake chamber push rod outward, driving the brake adjustment arm to rotate the cam. The rotation of the cam causes the brake shoes to expand and press against the brake drum, thereby braking the wheel. If the pressure is insufficient, it cannot push the chamber push rod outward to expand the brake shoes and press them against the brake drum, thus failing to brake the wheel.

Will parking at an angle fail the test?

Parking at an angle will not fail the test. The following are precautions for parking by the roadside: Reduce speed: When you hear the system voice prompt to park by the roadside ahead, slow down in advance, preferably to below 10km/h, and shift to first gear. The slower the speed, the more beneficial it is for the subsequent operations. Turn on the right turn signal: Keep the right turn signal on for more than three seconds. If the signal turns off during the operation, make sure to turn it on again promptly; otherwise, points will be deducted. Observe road conditions: Check the surroundings through the rearview mirrors to see if there are suitable conditions for parking. If there are many vehicles, control your speed. Note that if there is an intersection ahead or a no-parking sign, you should pass that area before finding a suitable spot. Post-parking precautions: After parking, shift to neutral, pull the handbrake, and do not release it until you hear the voice prompt indicating that you have passed the test. Confirm roadside safety before exiting the vehicle: Before getting out of the car, check the left rearview mirror to ensure there are no approaching vehicles from behind, and exit only when it is safe to do so.

How to Remove Adhesive Residue from Car Window Tinting Film?

The methods to remove adhesive residue from car window tinting film are: 1. Use a cotton swab to apply vinegar to the residual adhesive. After the vinegar dissolves the adhesive, wipe it clean with a cloth; 2. Apply essential balm to the adhesive and scrape it off with a blade; 3. Evenly apply alcohol to the residual adhesive. Once the adhesive is softened by the alcohol, wipe it away; 4. Spray a specialized heat-insulating cleaner onto the residual adhesive to dissolve it, then wipe it clean with a cloth. The functions of car window tinting film include: 1. Blocking a significant amount of heat generated by infrared rays; 2. Filtering out some ultraviolet rays to protect the skin and reduce the aging of car interiors; 3. Strengthening the glass to prevent injuries to passengers in case of accidental glass breakage. Car window tinting film is a thin layer applied to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof of a vehicle. This layer is called solar film or heat-insulating film.

What is the following distance when driving below 100 km/h on the highway?

When driving on the highway at speeds below 100 km/h, the distance between your vehicle and the one in front in the same lane can be appropriately reduced, but the minimum distance must not be less than 50 meters. Below is relevant information about following distances: Road speed limit requirements: According to traffic experts, speed limits are primarily set based on the road environment and traffic flow needs. For example, some suburban roads may only have two lanes in each direction but allow speeds up to 70 km/h; in urban areas, some roads may have eight wide lanes but are densely populated with inconvenient traffic, likely resulting in speed limits of 40 km/h or 60 km/h. Different speed limits for different road sections: Even on the same highway, speed limits can vary for different sections, especially on sharp curves, slopes, tunnels, bridges, ramps, and construction zones. These limits may be adjusted and can change based on actual conditions. Generally, the maximum speed limit for passenger cars on highways is 120 km/h, but due to factors like road environment in the actual design and construction of highways, speed limits can range from 80 km/h to 120 km/h.

Should You Use the Clutch or Brake to Control Speed in First Gear?

When controlling speed in first gear, you should use the brake. Below is a related introduction about gear positions: Concept: Gear positions are adjustment devices that regulate the speed and traction (torque) of a car. The lower the gear, the slower the speed, but the greater the car's traction (torque). The higher the gear, the faster the speed, and the smaller the car's traction (torque). Gear positions are generally divided into two main categories: forward gears and reverse gear. Engaging a forward gear makes the car move forward, while engaging the reverse gear makes the car move backward. Common car gear positions: Typically, a standard car has five forward gears and one reverse gear. The first forward gear is the starting gear, where the speed is the slowest (0-10 km/h), but the torque is the highest. Applications of each gear: First gear is also suitable for climbing steep slopes. After starting, when the engine speed reaches around 2000 rpm, shift to second gear, which is suitable for low-speed urban driving and climbing gentle slopes. Similarly, shift to the next gear when the speed reaches around 2000 rpm. The fourth and fifth forward gears are high-speed gears, suitable for driving on highways with good road conditions.

What do service brake and engine brake mean?

Service brake and parking brake mean the following: The parking brake refers to the handbrake. Emergency braking is mainly distinguished from anticipatory braking, which means immediately taking braking measures when an emergency is detected to stop the vehicle in the shortest possible time. Engine braking refers to using the engine's drag force to implement braking. For example, during long downhill descents, prolonged use of the foot brake can cause the brake pads to overheat and fail. In such cases, you can shift to a lower gear and coast at idle speed, using the engine's drag force to control the vehicle's speed. The meaning of the brake is as follows: The brake is the device used to stop the vehicle. Brakes are divided into service brakes (foot brake) and parking brakes (handbrake). During driving, the service brake (foot brake) is generally used to slow down or stop the vehicle while moving forward. The brake is not only used to keep the car stationary. The parking brake is used only when the service brake fails. Once the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the parking brake (handbrake) should be engaged to prevent the vehicle from rolling forward or backward. After parking, in addition to using the parking brake, it is advisable to shift into first gear when on an uphill slope to prevent rolling backward, and into reverse gear when on a downhill slope to prevent rolling forward.
