Here are the precautions for driving a motor vehicle on icy and snowy roads: 1. Use vehicles equipped with traction control systems such as TCS, TRC, or ASR. 2. Press the accelerator gently and increase speed slowly, using the transmission to control the speed. 3. Brake in advance, leaving sufficient distance and reaction time. 4. Avoid sudden steering; make wider turns when steering. If side slipping occurs, do not panic, and avoid braking abruptly on sharp curves—control speed by downshifting instead. 5. Follow the tire tracks of the vehicle ahead. 6. Regularly clear snow and ice between the tires and fenders to reduce the chance of tire slippage. 7. Maintain good visibility through the front and rear windshields, and clean the rearview mirrors before driving.

What is the Scrap Life of Taxis?

The scrap life of taxis is 8 years. Common scrapping regulations for commercial vehicles: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrap life of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrap life of 8 years, while light and large commercial trucks have a scrap life of 10 years. Private vehicle scrapping regulations: For family-use 5-seat cars and 7-seat SUVs, there is no usage life limit for non-commercial small and mini vehicles. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the government will recommend scrapping. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage life limit.

What does a cumulative score of 8 points mean?

Cumulative deduction of 8 points refers to the accumulation of penalty points on a driver's license due to traffic violations. Below is more relevant information: 1. As long as the total points accumulated within one scoring cycle (one year starting from the initial license issuance date) do not reach 12 points, after paying the fine, the system will reset the accumulated points from the previous cycle at the start of the next cycle. 2. After accumulating 12 points on the driver's license, the traffic police will notify the driver to attend a training session. 3. Driver's license points: Points on a driver's license are penalties for traffic violations. Depending on the severity of the violation, points can range from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 12 per violation. The scoring cycle is one inspection period. If a driver accumulates 12 points in one cycle, they lose their driving privileges and must undergo at least 7 days of traffic safety education. Only after passing the exam can they regain their driving privileges. 4. Passing the exam: The points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. Failing the exam requires continued participation in training and retaking the exam. Refusing to attend training or take the exam will result in the traffic management department of the public security authority announcing the suspension of the driver's license.

What is the function of the triangular window in a sedan?

The functions of the triangular window in a car are as follows: 1. The first function is to expand the field of vision and reduce blind spots: The triangular window on the front door of the car can increase the driver's field of vision. While driving, it is necessary to observe not only the front of the car but also the traffic conditions on both sides. If there is no triangular window on the front door, the driver may not be able to see the traffic conditions and surrounding situation in that direction, which can easily lead to traffic accidents. The triangular window on the rear door can increase the viewing area for the rear passengers, providing them with a broader field of vision. 2. The second function is that the triangular structure is more stable: Among many polygons, the triangle has the best stability. In daily life, many objects that require high stability are designed using the principle of triangles, and the triangular window on the car can make the entire window more stable. 3. The third function is to determine the position of the car body: Through the triangular window, the driver can clearly see the position of the wheels. When turning, the direction of the wheels can be judged through the triangular window. Although the triangular window on the car is small, its manufacturing difficulty is much higher than that of the car's glass, and the price is not cheap.

What size wrench is needed for car battery screws?

Generally, the commonly used wrench sizes for removing car batteries are 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, and 14mm. Car battery usage tips: 1. Avoid excessive use of in-car electronic devices: With the increasing number of in-car electronics, while they provide entertainment, they also increase the battery's load. Using them while driving is acceptable, but if used while parked or idling, it will inevitably increase the battery's power consumption, adding to its load and leading to battery depletion, affecting its lifespan. 2. Forgetting to turn off the air conditioning after turning off the engine: Many drivers have this habit—not turning off the air conditioning after shutting down the engine, then letting it start when the car is restarted. Unbeknownst to them, this method causes an instantaneous high power demand on the vehicle, and over time, it also wears out the battery. 3. Frequent vehicle starts in a short time: Especially in winter, when the car is hard to start, if the first attempt fails, do not rush to restart repeatedly. The interval between each start should be at least 3 seconds; otherwise, it can cause excessive battery discharge and damage.

Do All Cars Come with a Spare Tire?

New cars are generally equipped with a spare tire, which can be categorized into full-size and compact (temporary) spare tires. The type of spare tire varies depending on the vehicle brand. Maintenance methods for spare tires: 1. Regularly check tire pressure: Spare tires are not frequently used; they are only employed when the primary tire encounters unexpected damage or inconvenience. It's essential to periodically inspect the spare tire's pressure to prevent issues like air leakage. Additionally, spare tires typically differ from main tires in size and recommended pressure—often being smaller with lower pressure—so take care to avoid overinflation when filling. 2. Spare tire lifespan: Most spare tires are made of rubber, which degrades over time. Even though spares are rarely used and intended for temporary situations, proactive attention is crucial to prevent emergencies. Monitor the spare tire's service life carefully—the general lifespan is four years, though this should be adjusted based on visible aging signs like cracking or significant wear, which warrant immediate replacement.

What is Subject 2 Simulation?

Subject 2 simulation refers to a practice session that mimics the official Subject 2 driving test, aimed at improving the pass rate. Below is more relevant information: 1. The simulation covers the same test items as the official exam, essentially serving as a trial run. 2. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It focuses on field driving skills and includes five mandatory test items for small vehicles (C1/C2): reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on an incline, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). Some regions may include a sixth item: highway toll card collection. 3. For large vehicles (A1/A2/A3/B1/B2), the test items include: pole test, stopping and starting on an incline, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing through a narrow gate, navigating continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, and simulations for highways, continuous sharp mountain curves, tunnels, rainy/foggy conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.
