Do traffic police charge parking fees for impounded vehicles?

When a vehicle is temporarily impounded by traffic authorities, no parking fees are required. The storage costs incurred due to seizure or impoundment shall be borne by the administrative agency. This means that if a driver's vehicle is impounded due to illegal activities, the towing fees and parking fees will be covered by the public security authority, not the vehicle owner. Additional information: According to Article 26 of the Administrative Compulsion Law of the People's Republic of China: For premises, facilities, or properties that are sealed or impounded, the administrative agency shall properly maintain them and must not use or damage them; if losses occur, compensation liability shall be assumed. For sealed premises, facilities, or properties, the administrative agency may entrust a third party with their maintenance, and the third party must not damage or transfer or dispose of them without authorization. For losses caused by the third party, the administrative agency shall first compensate and then has the right to recover from the third party. The storage costs incurred due to seizure or impoundment shall be borne by the administrative agency.

What is the normal value of toe-in?

The standard value of front wheel toe-in is generally between 0-12mm. Front wheel toe-in refers to the condition where the distance between the front ends of a car's two front wheels is smaller than that between the rear ends, and the difference between these distances is called the toe-in value. Here are some introductions about front wheel toe-in: 1. Function: Proper front wheel toe-in can give the wheels a tendency to turn inward, which can offset the adverse effects caused by front wheel camber, enable the wheels to roll straight without lateral skidding, reduce abnormal tire wear, and also ensure that the steering can automatically return to the center after turning. 2. Consequences of excessive toe-in: Excessive positive toe-in or negative toe-in will both lead to uneven tire wear. When turning, it will produce the sound of tires grinding against the ground, which will shorten the service life of the tires. It may even cause the vehicle to deviate and vibrate when driving at high speed.

Where is the vehicle production date located?

The location of the vehicle production date is described as follows: 1. VIN number on the front windshield: There is a VIN number under the front windshield of the vehicle.
