Here are the differences between a hatchback and a sedan: 1. In terms of structure: The sedan's engine compartment, passenger compartment, and luggage compartment are completely separated (mutually enclosed). 2. In terms of features: The hatchback extends the passenger compartment backward and integrates it with the luggage compartment. The front part has an independent engine compartment like the sedan, but the rear of the hatchback has a large rear door opening. 3. In terms of capacity: The rear seats of a hatchback can usually be folded or even laid flat to form part of the floor, significantly increasing the luggage compartment volume compared to a sedan, making it suitable for transporting large items. 4. In terms of usage: The difference between a hatchback and a sedan lies in their application. Most hatchbacks on the market are shorter than sedans, making them more flexible and occupying less space.

Why is overtaking prohibited in tunnels?

Tunnels prohibit overtaking primarily due to poor ventilation inside tunnels. One of the main components of vehicle exhaust, lead, adheres to the road surface within the tunnel, making it slippery. If an emergency occurs while overtaking on such a surface, it can cause the vehicle to lose directional control, leading to a tailspin and resulting in a major traffic accident. 1. Reasons: Tunnels have narrow spaces, insufficient lighting, poor visibility, and enclosed spaces, making rescue difficult. In case of a fire, toxic gases cannot disperse. Accelerating while overtaking can easily lead to speeding. 2. Additional Information: Driving a motor vehicle without following overtaking or yielding regulations, or driving in the opposite direction, will result in a 3-point penalty. Overtaking is prohibited in busy sections, intersections, railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads or bridges less than 4 meters wide, steep slopes, tunnels, or sections prone to danger.

Can a Spare Tire Be Used as a Lifebuoy?

No. Because the spare tire has a wheel hub, which makes it difficult to remove; moreover, modern car tires are tubeless and do not provide sufficient buoyancy in water. Below is some relevant knowledge about car tires: 1. Tire classification: Can be divided into radial tires and bias tires. 2. Tread classification: Can be divided into ribbed tread tires, transverse tread tires, mixed tread tires, and off-road tread tires. 3. Size classification: Full-size spare tire: The specifications of a full-size spare tire are exactly the same as the other four tires on the car, and it can replace any tire that is temporarily or permanently unusable; Non-full-size spare tire: The diameter and width of this type of spare tire are slightly smaller than the other four tires, so it can only be used as a temporary replacement and must be used on non-driving wheels, with a maximum speed not exceeding 80km/h.

Does Removing the Spare Tire Affect Weight Distribution?

No, it does not. Here is a brief introduction to spare tires: 1. Definition: A spare tire is an extra tire prepared for a vehicle. In case a tire blows out or encounters problems, the spare tire can promptly replace it, preventing the vehicle from breaking down midway. 2. Types: (1) Full-size spare tire. The specifications of a full-size spare tire are exactly the same as the other four tires on the vehicle, allowing it to replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. (2) Compact spare tire. This type of spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, making it suitable only for temporary use. It can only be used on non-driving wheels, and the maximum speed should not exceed 80 km/h. (3) Run-flat tire. Also known as a safety tire (run-flat tire), commonly referred to as a "bulletproof tire," it is directly translated in the industry as a "tire that can run without air."
