Handling methods for a tire blowout on the highway: 1. Maintain control of the steering wheel and gradually reduce speed; 2. Slowly move the vehicle to the right and stop; 3. Quickly place a triangular warning stand 100 meters behind the vehicle; 4. Replace the spare tire and promptly exit the highway. Continuing to drive with a blown tire can damage the vehicle's suspension and transmission systems, as well as deform the wheel hub. Due to the loss of tire support, the stability of the vehicle body is severely compromised, increasing the risk of traffic accidents. Methods for tire maintenance include: 1. Regularly remove debris from tire treads; 2. Periodically check tire pressure; 3. Inspect tire wear and replace them promptly; 4. Repair punctures in a timely manner; 5. Immediately stop and check the tire condition if abnormalities are detected while driving.

What to Do If Driver's License and ID Card Are Lost?

Solutions for lost ID card and driver's license: 1. If an motor vehicle driver's license is lost, the driver shall apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office of the license issuing authority. When applying, an application form must be completed and the following documents submitted: (1) The driver's identity proof; (2) A written statement of the lost motor vehicle driver's license. The vehicle management office shall reissue the motor vehicle driver's license within one day. After the driver obtains the replacement license, the original driver's license becomes invalid and must not be used anymore. During the period when the driver's license is legally confiscated, detained, or temporarily suspended, the driver cannot apply for a replacement. 2. To replace the driver's license, a copy of the ID card and three one-inch white-background color photos are required to fill out the loss statement and driver's license application form at the issuing vehicle management office. If even a copy of the ID card cannot be found, first contact the ID card issuing authority to apply for a temporary ID card. 3. First, apply for a new ID card. After obtaining the new ID card, bring it to the vehicle management office to fill out the application form and driver's license loss statement.

The Difference Between N Gear and D Gear

N gear is one of the three standard gears in automatic transmission vehicles, located between R gear and D gear on the gear shift console. Its essence is the neutral gear in the transmission, designed to disconnect the power transmission between the input shaft and the output shaft inside the transmission. D gear is the most common gear in automatic transmission vehicles. D gear belongs to the forward gears, but forward gears are not limited to D gear; they also include M gear, S gear, L gear, and numerically labeled restricted gears such as 1, 2, and 3. More information about car gears is as follows: Generally, there are six gear positions on an automatic transmission car, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. P——Parking, the parking gear, also the starting gear. When you park the car, the gear is in this position, and the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. R——Reverse, the reverse gear. Used when reversing. N——Neutral, the neutral gear. Used when temporarily stopping (e.g., at a red light). Note that this gear position indicates neutral, and to prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, you must step on the brake. D——Drive, the forward gear, also known as the driving gear. S——Sport, the sport gear. Some models are also equipped with an S sport gear. Engaging this gear can delay the engine's upshift timing. For example, with the same throttle depth, D gear shifts to the next gear at 2200 rpm, while S gear may delay the shift to 2500 rpm or even 3000 rpm, thereby obtaining greater power output from the engine and improving acceleration performance.

Is it dangerous to drive with high tire pressure?

When the tire pressure is too high, it reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, increases the pressure on the tire, and affects the tire's grip. When the vehicle passes over bumpy roads, it causes greater impact on the suspension system and increases the risk of a tire blowout. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance; it can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; it accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening the tire's lifespan; increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; it causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the tire's elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle while driving; puncture resistance decreases. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks and blowouts. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increases the friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and prone to deviation, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may lead to a blowout; increases tire body deformation, making the tire side prone to cracks and generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.

Should You Wait for a Red Light When Making a U-Turn?

If the U-turn signal is red, you must wait; otherwise, it will be considered running a red light. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," this offense carries a penalty of 6 demerit points and a fine of 200 yuan. If there is no dedicated U-turn signal, U-turns are not affected by traffic signals when the gap is marked with a dashed line, and you do not need to cross the pedestrian crossing. However, if the gap is marked with a solid line, you must cross the pedestrian crossing and follow the left-turn signal. Making a direct U-turn without adhering to these rules may result in being photographed or penalized by on-site traffic police. When making a U-turn that requires crossing a pedestrian crossing, you must yield to pedestrians: If pedestrians are walking on the right side of the crosswalk and have not reached the centerline of the road, vehicles on the left side must slow down and ensure safety before proceeding. If pedestrians are waiting outside the boundary between motorized and non-motorized lanes and have not entered the roadway, vehicles should slow down and proceed safely. If pedestrians have crossed the boundary between lanes, failing to stop for them is a violation and may result in penalties. If pedestrians are already in the motorized lane (Lane A), vehicles in Lane B must slow down and proceed safely. Failing to yield is a violation. If pedestrians are waiting at the centerline without entering the motorized lane, failing to stop is a violation. If pedestrians cross the centerline into the motorized lane, failing to yield is a violation. If the road is divided by a green median and pedestrians are waiting in the middle, vehicles must slow down and proceed safely. Permissible U-turn scenarios: If an intersection has a U-turn sign, U-turns are allowed. If there is a U-turn signal, follow it. Without a signal, proceed cautiously without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. If there are no explicit "No U-Turn" or "No Left Turn" signs, U-turns are generally allowed. This means if the intersection lacks such prohibitions and the centerline is not solid, U-turns are permitted. U-turns are allowed on yellow grid lines, which are no-stopping zones. While stopping on these grids is prohibited, U-turns are permitted unless there is a central barrier. If a U-turn signal is present, follow it—only proceed on green. If "No Left Turn" and "U-Turn Allowed" signs coexist, U-turns are permitted, but left turns are not. Note that "No U-Turn" and "No Left Turn" are not the same. Important considerations when making a U-turn: Check road markings—if they are solid, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable spot. If a "No Left Turn" sign is present, U-turns are also prohibited, as they involve a left turn maneuver. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. Attempting from the second left-turn lane is not allowed. Always yield to oncoming traffic before making a U-turn to avoid accidents and liability. Pay attention to lane arrows—some leftmost lanes may have straight arrows instead of left-turn arrows, prohibiting U-turns even without explicit signs.
