For beginners who have just obtained their driver's license, veering off course while driving is extremely common. The solutions are as follows: 1. Adjust to the correct sitting posture, with your wrists just resting on the top of the steering wheel, and your right foot still having a certain angle of bend when the brake is fully depressed. 2. While driving, try to look as far ahead as possible, not just at the tail of the car in front. 3. When driving, look at the road and feel like you are sitting in the middle of the road, then the car will run in the middle of the lane. 4. When there are arrows on the road, feel like you are sitting on the arrow, and the car will run in the middle of the lane. If the driver has trouble driving straight, it is recommended to practice using the following method: Find a straight road or square with few people and cars, ask a friend to stand in the distance, use the friend as a reference point, and drive from the other end towards them. During this time, remind the friend to signal if they notice the driver veering off course, so adjustments can be made promptly. Practicing this multiple times will help develop a feel for the car.

When I first learned to drive, the car kept veering off course, mainly because I couldn't control the steering wheel steadily. Beginners tend to grip the wheel tightly when nervous, but actually, you should hold it lightly at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions and look at the centerline of the road in the distance. It's recommended to practice on a straight, open road, trying to keep the car straight with slight adjustments to the steering, avoiding sudden turns. Uneven tire pressure can also cause the car to veer, so check if the tire pressure is consistent on all four tires. If there's an issue with the power steering, go to a repair shop for a check-up promptly. Develop a habit of self-testing while driving regularly, such as testing if the car can go straight on a flat road. With more practice, you'll improve your road sense.

How many kilometers can a car drive with half a tank of fuel left?

After the fuel warning light comes on, the car can run about 80KM at high speed and about 30 to 50KM at low speed. Each car has a different fuel tank capacity. Usually, when there is only one bar of fuel left, the car can still run more than 100 kilometers. After the red light comes on, it can still run more than 50 kilometers, and a few cars can reach more than 70 kilometers. If there are frequent issues, the sensor inside the fuel tank should be replaced. It is best to refuel when there is less than one bar of fuel left, before the warning light comes on. Here are some additional tips for maintaining the car's fuel tank: 1. The maintenance of the fuel tank is mainly combined with the car's primary maintenance, draining accumulated water and sediment in the tank, and checking for oil leaks at the fuel pipe joints and switches. 2. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and steam valves, also check if the vent holes are clear.

Does a car count as a flood-damaged vehicle if submerged for 2 hours?

Flood-damaged vehicles refer to cars that have been submerged in water, typically meaning the wiring harness has been soaked, the water depth exceeds one-third of the wheel height, and the vehicle's underbody components have been in prolonged contact with water. Below are the relevant classifications: 1. Water-damaged car: If the water level exceeds the vehicle's chassis, it is considered a water-damaged car; if water enters the cabin, it is also classified as a flood-damaged vehicle, though the extent of submersion may vary. If only the cabin is flooded, it is termed a water-damaged car. 2. Semi-flooded car: If the water level surpasses the oil dipstick, it can be referred to as a semi-flooded car. 3. Fully flooded car: If the water level exceeds the engine hood or the dashboard, it is then called a fully flooded car.

When to Replace Brake Discs?

It is recommended to replace brake discs after driving 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Here are methods to determine whether brake discs need replacement: 1. Listen for sounds: If abnormal noises accompany light braking, the brake pads must be replaced immediately. This indicates that the wear indicators on both sides of the brake pads are directly rubbing against the brake disc, proving the pads have exceeded their limit. 2. Warning light: Typically, the brake disc warning light on the dashboard serves as an indicator for replacement. Normally, this light is off; it illuminates when the brake disc is faulty or excessively worn and turns off after repair. 3. Check thickness: Most brake disc products have wear indicators, featuring three small pits distributed on the disc surface. Measure the depth of these pits with a vernier caliper; it's 1.5mm. When the total wear depth on both sides of the brake disc reaches 3mm, it's advised to replace the brake discs promptly.

What is the typical power output of an electric vehicle charging station?

From a technical standards perspective, there is a relatively clear demarcation for high-power charging. In terms of DC charging stations, the input voltage is typically 380V, with power outputs generally exceeding 10kW. Below are some supplementary precautions for electric vehicle charging: 1. In cold weather, check whether the battery electrolyte has frozen before charging. Never charge a frozen battery, as this may cause an explosion. 2. Before charging, check the electrolyte level. Do not charge if the electrolyte is insufficient. 3. During charging, measure the electrolyte density and voltage approximately every hour, and monitor its temperature. If the temperature exceeds 40°C, reduce the charging current by half. If the temperature continues to rise above 45°C, stop charging and wait until it cools below 35°C before resuming. Air or water cooling can also be used to lower the temperature. 4. Ensure the charging area is well-ventilated and strictly prohibit open flames, as the bubbles in the electrolyte consist of hydrogen and oxygen.
