When going straight through an intersection, learners should use low beam headlights. If there is a voice prompt to pass through an intersection without traffic signal control, it is necessary to alternately use high and low beam headlights twice. The following are scenarios for the use of other lights: Turn signal usage scenarios: Turn signals should be activated 100 to 50 meters in advance when turning, changing lanes, overtaking, making a U-turn, or pulling over to the side of the road. The left turn signal should be activated in advance when turning left, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn. The right turn signal should be activated in advance when turning right, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or pulling over to the side of the road. When overtaking, the left turn signal should be activated in advance, and high and low beam headlights should be alternated or the horn should be sounded. Low beam headlight usage scenarios: On roads without central separation facilities or center lines, low beam headlights should be switched on when meeting oncoming vehicles at night at a distance of more than 150 meters from the opposite direction. Low beam headlights should also be used when meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or narrow bridges. High and low beam headlight usage scenarios: When passing through sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic signal control at night, high and low beam headlights should be alternately used.

What is the penalty for mistaking an exit for an entrance on the highway?

Mistaking an exit for an entrance on the highway will result in a 12-point deduction and a fine. Reversing at a highway exit is an extremely dangerous action that can easily cause serious traffic accidents. Vehicles driving on the highway must change routes only at locations with exit toll stations or service areas, even if they take the wrong route. Never drive in reverse on the highway. When driving on the highway, motor vehicles must not engage in the following behaviors: 1. Reversing, driving in reverse, crossing the central divider to make a U-turn, or stopping within a lane; 2. Overtaking on ramps, acceleration lanes, or deceleration lanes; 3. Riding or straddling the lane divider or driving on the shoulder; 4. Driving or parking in the emergency lane unless in an emergency; 5. Testing vehicles or learning to drive a motor vehicle.

How to Handle an Expired Vehicle License?

If your vehicle license has expired, you need to participate in the motor vehicle inspection within 90 days before the expiration date. Bring the power of attorney, vehicle license, and compulsory traffic insurance policy to the local inspection station for inspection. Upon passing the inspection, the deputy page of the vehicle license will be endorsed. For non-exempt vehicles, the owner must bring the power of attorney, vehicle license, and compulsory traffic insurance policy to the motor vehicle inspection station for vehicle inspection. After passing the inspection, the inspection qualification mark can be directly applied for at the station. For vehicles exempt from inspection within 6 years, only the Motor Vehicle Inspection Mark Application Form, vehicle license, compulsory traffic insurance certificate, and vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate need to be reviewed. The traffic safety violations and accident handling records will be checked. If everything complies with the regulations, the inspection mark will be issued, the deputy page of the vehicle license will be endorsed, and the Motor Vehicle Inspection Mark Application Form will be archived in the vehicle's records.

How far can you drive with the tire pressure yellow light on?

The tire pressure yellow light being on indicates that you can still drive for several dozen kilometers, but it is best to pull over and check the tires as soon as possible to ensure safety. Below are the handling methods for the tire pressure yellow light and the normal tire pressure range: Handling methods for the tire pressure yellow light: If you have a tire pressure monitoring tool, you can check whether the tire pressure of all tires is normal. If you don't have a tire pressure detector, you can get out of the car and inspect them manually. After all, tires significantly impact driving safety, and a sudden blowout at high speed could have unimaginable consequences. Normal tire pressure range: The normal tire pressure is generally between 230-250 kPa, which is equivalent to 2.3-2.5 bar. The specific tire pressure standard can be found in the user manual. Tires require the correct air pressure to function effectively, and both underinflation and overinflation are undesirable.

What happens if tree sap is left on a car for a long time without treatment?

If tree sap is left on a car for a long time without treatment, it can damage the car's paint and leave marks. Methods to remove tree sap include: 1. Use a cloth dipped in high-proof liquor to wipe it off, as the alcohol can dissolve the sap; 2. Mix hot water with dish soap or laundry detergent, soak a towel in the solution, and place the wet towel directly on the affected area; 3. First rinse the sap with warm water, then soak it with clean water until it softens before further treatment to avoid damaging the paint; 4. Spray a cleaning agent evenly on the sap, wait for a while, and then wipe it off with a soft cloth. When cleaning the car, always use a clean, soft sponge or a dedicated car-cleaning cloth, and check beforehand to ensure no sand or metal particles are mixed in, as these can cause severe damage to the paint.

What are the standards for capturing lane-crossing violations?

The standards for capturing lane-crossing violations are driving across two traffic lanes during movement and vehicle wheels pressing against or crossing the dividing line after stopping. Motor vehicles are prohibited from crossing single or double solid lines, and violators will be fined and receive 2 penalty points. Although single and double solid lines differ in severity, their effect is the same—motor vehicles are not allowed to cross them. Situations where motor vehicles violate prohibited marking instructions include: 1. Pressing against, crossing, or driving over single or double solid yellow lines during movement; 2. Temporarily or long-term parking in no-parking zones; 3. Making U-turns in no-U-turn zones or left turns at no-left-turn intersections—all constitute violations of prohibited marking instructions. Prohibited markings refer to the solid yellow lines on the ground and no-parking signs; pressing against them means violating prohibited marking instructions.
