The BMW Z4 uses a double-ball-joint independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. Many BMW vehicles employ the double-ball-joint suspension, which enhances the car's handling and improves steering precision. The double-ball-joint suspension is an improved version of the MacPherson strut, replacing the MacPherson's L-shaped control arm with two separate links. This suspension connects to the steering knuckle at two points, significantly boosting the car's handling performance. The BMW Z4 is a coupe model from BMW, with its design evolving from the Z3. The new car features a more attractive upward-sloping rear end and pronounced side contours, making it appear more aggressive than the Z3.

Will a vehicle be automatically deregistered if it has not been inspected for three years?

If a vehicle has not been inspected for three years, it will not be automatically deregistered, but it will meet the mandatory scrapping requirements. The owner must take the vehicle to a qualified scrap car recycling and dismantling enterprise for scrapping, obtain a scrapping certificate, and then go to the transportation department to complete the deregistration process. Methods to handle overdue vehicle inspection: 1. If the vehicle inspection is overdue for less than three months, the owner can directly apply for a renewal and will receive a verbal warning without a fine; 2. If the vehicle inspection is overdue for more than three months but less than two years, the owner will need to pay a fine and have 3 points deducted from their driving license; 3. If the vehicle has not been inspected for more than two years, the vehicle's record will be canceled. Restoring the record is relatively complicated, and usually, a fine must be paid before the record can be restored.

What are the penalties for driving in slippers?

The penalties for driving in slippers are as follows: According to Article 81 of the Road Traffic Management Regulations, if a motor vehicle driver operates a vehicle while wearing slippers, they will be fined or given a warning. Additionally, based on the scoring standards for road traffic safety violations, engaging in behaviors that impede safe driving, such as making or answering handheld phone calls while driving, will result in a deduction of 2 points per violation. In the event of an accident during driving, if one of the drivers involved is wearing slippers, even if that driver is not at fault for the accident and the responsibility lies with the other party, the driver wearing slippers will still be subject to penalties from traffic police for driving in slippers.

What is the Function of Vehicle Stability Control?

Vehicle stability control serves to enhance the vehicle's handling safety coefficient and driving convenience. In emergency situations such as sharp turns, sudden acceleration, or hard braking, the system can quickly detect and implement corresponding braking measures, such as individually controlling each tire while reducing engine output to maintain vehicle stability. Stability control systems evolved from other technologies, such as ABS and traction control systems, which must detect whether wheels are about to lock up and individually adjust braking force when operational. The stability control system utilizes this technology along with its sensors and computational control unit. The control unit continuously monitors and processes signals from the steering system, wheels, and vehicle body sensors to determine if the vehicle is skidding during cornering. If skidding is detected, the control unit applies slight braking to the necessary wheels to help stabilize the vehicle's movement.

What is the penalty for driving without a driver's license?

Penalties for driving without a driver's license: 1 point will be deducted and a fine will be imposed. Forgetting to bring your driver's license while driving is considered not carrying the license, not driving without a license. The traffic police will not detain the driver but will temporarily impound the vehicle. Not carrying a license is not the same as driving without one, but both are traffic violations, with different penalties. If you don't have your driver's license, regardless of whether the driver has committed any other violations while driving, they will not be allowed to continue driving. The traffic management department of the public security authorities will impound the vehicle and require the driver to provide the license. Depending on the situation, the following actions will be taken: 1. If the driver provides the license and has no other violations while driving, they will receive a warning or a fine, and the vehicle will be returned promptly. 2. If the driver provides the license but has committed other violations while driving, they will be penalized based on the violations and for not carrying the license, and the vehicle will be returned promptly. 3. If the driver fails to provide the license, they will be penalized for driving without a license.

Where can I apply for ETC?

ETC can be processed at bank branches, expressway service areas, and other institutions. Applicants need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner, a valid ID card of the agent is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection seal. A postal credit card application form is needed, as this credit card will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, two swipes with the POS receipt will allow you to collect and install the ETC onboard device for free at designated postal outlets, with no additional fees. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own a vehicle in their name. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. The required documents include the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner, a valid ID card of the agent is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection seal. A bank card for deducting expressway tolls is needed. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own a vehicle in their name. Here are some precautions for ETC installation: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a steeply angled windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it may increase the driver's blind spots. Install it behind the rearview mirror on the right side to avoid blocking the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. Once the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid paying for the vehicle in front due to its faulty ETC device, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at a speed of 20 km/h. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and failed toll deduction. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failure.
