In rainy or snowy weather, turn on the side marker lights and low beams. Although side marker lights do not provide illumination, they allow vehicles in front and behind to clearly see the width of your car, facilitating better driving. When it gets dark enough to affect visibility, you must turn on the low beams. In addition, during foggy conditions, it is also necessary to turn on the side marker lights and, when needed, the fog lights. Fog lights are specifically designed for weather conditions like rain, snow, and haze. When the rain or snow is heavy, or even during a blizzard, your driving visibility can be severely limited. Turning on the fog lights makes your vehicle more visible to others. This is because fog lights are not designed for illumination—their beams are diffused, highly penetrating, and bright without being glaring, serving as an effective warning. Do not use high beams. In rainy, snowy, or hazy road conditions, turning on high beams is a major no-no! The reason is that moisture and haze reflect light, causing the high beams to bounce off the mist and back into your car, further blurring your visibility. The intense light also makes it difficult for oncoming drivers to discern your vehicle's position and width, significantly increasing the risk of accidents. Additionally, when overtaking or making a U-turn during your drive, always use the corresponding turn signals based on your direction. If you need to make an emergency stop, turn on the hazard lights to ensure other vehicles can see your car from a distance, preventing collisions. Moreover, before embarking on a long trip in snowy or rainy weather, we recommend performing a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of your vehicle to avoid breakdowns that could disrupt your journey.

What Does Dual Clutch Mean?

Dual clutch is a type of transmission mechanism, different from conventional automatic transmission systems, belonging to both manual and automatic transmissions. In addition to offering the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic transmission, a dual clutch can also provide uninterrupted power output. Traditional manual transmissions use a single clutch; when shifting gears, the driver needs to press the clutch pedal to engage different gears, resulting in a power interruption during gear changes and intermittent output performance. When using a dual clutch, it is advisable to frequently utilize the manual mode because the dual clutch has memory programming settings. Regular use of manual mode allows the transmission to develop a memory effect and operate according to this memorized pattern, which helps reduce shift frequency and lowers the probability of malfunctions.

Why does traffic congestion occur on highways?

Reasons for highway traffic congestion include: 1. Toll-free holidays on highways greatly stimulate car owners' enthusiasm for self-driving travel; 2. Accidents ahead on the highway prevent vehicles from passing; 3. Road construction on certain sections of the highway; 4. Severe weather conditions that prevent all vehicles from driving at high speeds, turning the highway into a low-speed road. Traffic congestion has become a common problem in modern society, especially in developing countries, significantly affecting people's work efficiency and social development. From traffic congestion, a culture of congestion has emerged, attracting people's attention and research. Highways are multi-lane roads exclusively designed for directional and lane-specific vehicle travel, with full access control. The average annual daily traffic volume on highways should ideally exceed 15,000 passenger cars, with a design speed of 80 to 120 kilometers per hour.

What is the best charging method for electric vehicles?

The best charging method for electric vehicles is: 1. When charging each time, wait until the battery temperature returns to normal before charging. Avoid charging immediately after riding, as the battery temperature is still high at this time. Charging right away will further increase the temperature, which is detrimental to the battery's lifespan. 2. Always use a charger that matches the battery specifications. 3. Ensure that both the current and voltage are correctly set. 4. Try to wait until the battery is completely drained before recharging. The battery contains a solution with water and electrolytes, among other chemicals. The water plays a crucial role, and if it is completely depleted, the battery will be ruined. Frequent charging can easily deplete the water content, so it's best to charge only when the battery is fully drained to reduce the number of charging cycles.

What vehicles can be driven with an A2 driver's license?

An A2 driver's license allows the holder to drive tractor units, which refers to vehicles where the cab and trailer require a tool for connection, specifically including heavy-duty tractors, medium-sized full trailers, or semi-trailers. Additionally, an A2 license permits driving medium-sized buses (B1), large trucks (B2), small cars (C1), small automatic transmission vehicles (C1), low-speed cargo vehicles (C3), three-wheeled vehicles (C4), and wheeled self-propelled machinery (M). Drivers holding an A2 license must undergo a review within 30 days after the end of each scoring cycle. If there are no traffic violations, the vehicle management system will automatically approve the review and handle the annual inspection without the driver needing to visit the vehicle management office.

Does Waxing Affect Car Paint?

Waxing does affect car paint. The car's paint itself has a layer of protective wax. If waxing is done too early, it can remove the original protective wax on the paint, which may harm the paint. Another waxing method involves first grinding off the clear coat layer of the paint before applying wax, which can damage the paint. The correct method for car waxing is: 1. Wash the car: Use a specialized car wash solution to thoroughly clean the car; 2. Dry: After rinsing the car, use a drying cloth to completely dry the car, as water on the paint surface makes waxing difficult; 3. Apply wax: Use a round sponge designed for solid car wax to evenly apply the wax on the paint surface. It doesn't need to be thick—a thin layer is sufficient; 4. Drying: After application, wait 5 to 10 minutes; 5. Polish: Use a fiber towel to buff the paint surface until it is smooth.
