When encountering sudden situations on icy roads, you can take measures such as driving slowly, avoiding emergency braking and sharp turns to prevent the vehicle from skidding off the road. Below are some precautions for driving on icy roads: 1. Do not follow other vehicles too closely on icy roads: Otherwise, if the vehicle in front slows down or brakes, it may easily cause a rear-end collision. Therefore, drivers should maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead based on terrain, speed, and load conditions. 2. Try to avoid overtaking on icy roads: If overtaking is absolutely necessary due to time constraints, be sure to choose a wide, flat section of the road with less ice and snow, and never force an overtake. When meeting another vehicle, select a flat and wide section of the road, maintaining sufficient lateral safety distance between the two vehicles, and avoid getting too close to the roadside. If the road is narrow, the driver with more space should take the initiative to stop or back up to yield.

Why Do You Need to Turn Right First When Making a Left Turn on an Overpass?

There are several reasons why you need to turn right first when making a left turn on an overpass: 1. Closed One-Way Road: Overpasses are generally designed as closed one-way roads. The design rule for overpasses is usually as follows: to go left after crossing the bridge, you first need to turn right after crossing the bridge; to go right without crossing the bridge, you enter the ramp directly to get onto the bridge. 2. Key Points to Note: When making a left turn, after entering the overpass or underpass, turn on the right turn signal, then make a right turn into the ramp. At the other end of the ramp, make another right turn to enter the main road. This way, two consecutive right turns achieve one left turn. Pay attention to traffic signs to determine the exit location. While driving, when approaching an overpass, reduce speed appropriately to allow sufficient time to accurately confirm the direction of the exit.

What to Do If Diesel Car is Filled with Gasoline?

The solutions for a diesel car filled with gasoline are mainly: 1. Contact a specialized repair shop as soon as possible to clean the fuel tank and fuel system, and then conduct a comprehensive inspection of the engine. Do not start the engine to avoid damaging the car. 2. Find the nearest repair shop immediately to replace the gasoline, preferably also clean the fuel tank and fuel system, and replace the fuel filter. Additional information: 1. Gasoline is one of the most widely used light petroleum products and an important fuel for engines. 2. Based on the manufacturing process, gasoline components can be divided into straight-run gasoline, thermal cracking gasoline (coking gasoline), catalytic cracking gasoline, catalytic reforming gasoline, polymerization gasoline, hydrocracking gasoline, alkylation gasoline, and synthetic gasoline, etc.

Which gear should be used when going uphill?

When going uphill, you should use the L gear. Here is some information about the L gear: 1. The L gear is the low gear. 2. When going downhill or on a long slope, placing the gear here can limit the car's gear to automatically stay in the lowest gear, allowing the car to use engine power for braking when going downhill. This prevents the driver from having to press the brake for a long time, which could cause the brake pads to overheat and become dangerous. Additional information: 1. Generally, automatic transmission cars have P gear (parking gear), R gear (reverse gear), N gear (neutral gear), and D gear (drive gear). It is important to use the automatic transmission properly to save fuel more efficiently. 2. When driving on flat city roads, the gear should always be in D gear, as the automatic transmission will shift gears automatically without requiring additional manual operation.

Why is it not necessary to use turn signals when entering a roundabout?

Because entering the roundabout does not affect other vehicles, and the exit is uncertain when leaving the roundabout, so signals are required. Here are the relevant details: 1. Setup: Typically, roundabouts are set up at intersections with multiple roads (more than 3 roads). Except for vehicles turning right, all other vehicles heading to different intersections must enter the roundabout to navigate. The roundabout is generally designed with four lanes: the left lane is for left turns, the middle two lanes are for going straight, and the right lane is for right turns to exit the roundabout. 2. Precautions: Use turn signals correctly. There is no need to turn on the turn signal when entering the roundabout. Turning on the signal before entering the roundabout is the biggest misconception in roundabout driving, as it can easily cause misunderstandings among other drivers.

Is it necessary to depress the clutch to start the car?

For the safety of yourself and passengers, it is recommended to depress the clutch when starting the engine. Additional information: 1. Depressing the clutch primarily prevents the car from suddenly lurching forward during startup, thereby avoiding accidents. This is especially crucial when starting on uphill or downhill slopes. Failure to depress the clutch could lead to unintended vehicle movement, potentially causing accidents. Therefore, the primary reason for depressing the clutch in manual transmission vehicles is safety. 2. Moreover, depressing the clutch during startup also protects the engine. Without depressing the clutch, the engine operates under excessive load, which can cause damage. While occasional instances may not cause immediate harm, prolonged neglect can gradually lead to engine issues. Hence, to safeguard the engine and prolong your vehicle's lifespan, it is advisable to depress the clutch when starting.

Will the brake disc not stop at all if there is engine oil on it?

If there is engine oil on the brake disc, it will not stop at all. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Reduced friction: Modern cars are equipped with ABS. If there is oil on the brake disc, it will cause the brakes to fail to stop, reducing friction and leading to deviation or skidding. When changing the engine oil, if the oil spills onto the belt, the belt will slip. Only by cleaning it off can the slipping be avoided. 2. Brake fluid: It is inherently hydrophilic. After prolonged use, the water content in the brake fluid will increase, causing the boiling point of the brake fluid to decrease. This makes the brake fluid more likely to reach the boiling point, generating bubbles and resulting in brake failure. Moreover, brake fluid that has been used for a long time contains more impurities, which can degrade braking performance or even damage the brake system. Generally, there are warning signs when the brake fluid needs to be replaced. If you notice that the braking force varies between light and heavy, it may be time to replace the brake fluid.
