4.875 ratio corresponds to a 158 rear axle. Here are the details: 1. Content: 4.875 is a low-speed axle. The rear axle ratio is an important engine parameter, referring to the gear ratio of the main reducer in the vehicle's drive axle. There is a set of gears in the rear axle behind the driveshaft that serves to reduce speed and increase torque. The vehicle's transmission ratio, also called the speed ratio, is the ratio of rotational speeds between the front and rear transmission mechanisms in the vehicle's drivetrain. The rear axle refers to the assembly that transmits power to the rear drive wheels, supporting the wheels and connecting the rear wheel assemblies. 2. Advantages: A smaller rear axle ratio provides higher speed and lower fuel consumption. The 4.875 ratio is suitable for heavy loads and offers good power performance.

Can I still drive if my driver's license has been deducted 12 points?

After the driver's license has been deducted a full 12 points, you cannot drive and must participate in a learning program before you can drive again. According to relevant laws in China, if the cumulative points reach 12 within a cycle, the driver's license will be confiscated by the public security department. Below is additional information: 1. Precautions for using a driver's license: A driver's license can be deducted a maximum of 11 points. Note that this is cumulative within a scoring cycle, meaning it's not just a single deduction—once processed, the record is retained until the next scoring cycle. If the points do not reach 12 within a scoring cycle, it does not affect usage, only the wallet, as corresponding fines must be paid. After paying the fines, the system automatically resets at the start of the next scoring cycle. 2. Handling methods for more than 12 points: If a driver accumulates 12 points or more twice within a scoring cycle or reaches a cumulative score of 24 points or more, in addition to passing the subject one test, the driver must also take the subject three test.

What is the mandatory scrapping period for 7-seater minivans?

According to different vehicle purposes, the scrapping periods vary. Based on mileage, vehicles reaching 600,000 kilometers will be mandatorily scrapped. For commercial vehicles, the scrapping period is 8 years. However, regulations since May 2013 state that non-commercial mini and small passenger vehicles will no longer have a mandatory scrapping period, but they must be mandatorily scrapped if they fail three consecutive inspections. Additional information is as follows: 1. Vehicle inspection data: Apart from vehicle aging, vehicles may also be phased out due to failure to meet emission standards. Various regions have gradually tightened restrictions on emissions, with 2017 requiring the elimination of vehicles that fail to meet emission standards. Whether emissions meet standards is primarily determined by vehicle inspection data, specifically based on smoke opacity values. 2. Non-compliant vehicles: If repairs still fail to meet emission limits, the transportation certificate will be revoked by authorities. Currently, common technologies in China to make vehicles with excessive emissions meet smoke opacity standards include installing DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and adding water-assisted engines.

Are There Dash Cams That Don't Require Plugging In?

There are dash cams that don't require plugging in and only need battery installation, essentially being the same thing. Hazards of Battery-Powered Dash Cams: It is not recommended to use dash cams with batteries. Because when exposed to direct sunlight, the temperature inside the car can exceed 80 degrees Celsius. At such temperatures, the battery may leak or explode. The lithium used in lithium batteries, along with organic electrolytes, poses safety risks. Overcharging, over-discharging, short circuits, high temperatures, and severe external impacts may cause the battery to catch fire or even explode. Some new energy cars and buses have also experienced battery combustion incidents, and there have been numerous news reports about mobile phone batteries and dash cams exploding. These incidents could be due to substandard production technology or irregular manufacturing processes. Modification Method: You can disassemble the dash cam, remove the internal battery from the circuit board, then solder the power cables' positive and negative wires and connect them to the ignition switch. This requires some technical skill. It is more advisable to simply replace the dash cam with a product from a reputable brand for better reliability.

Why Is It Safest to Be in a Car During a Thunderstorm?

People inside a car are not struck by lightning during rainy days due to the physics principle known as the "Faraday Cage Effect." The so-called Faraday Cage principle states that when a hollow conductor is placed in an electric field, the electrons within the conductor move under the influence of the external electric field until electrostatic equilibrium is reached. At this point, the electrons no longer move directionally, the electric field distribution remains constant over time, and no charge exists on the inner surface of the metal cavity—charge is only distributed on the outer surface of the cavity. Solutions for foggy windshield on rainy days are as follows: 1. Lower the window: Slightly open the window to reduce the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, and the fog inside will disappear. 2. Turn on the air conditioning: After turning on the air conditioning, use the recirculation mode and adjust the vents to blow air onto the windshield to quickly clear the fog. 3. Turn on the heater: Adjust the switch to the heating position, increase the fan speed, and also set the vents to blow air onto the windshield to raise the interior temperature and dry the air.
