Solutions for when the car battery warning light comes on: 1. Pull over to the side of the road, turn off the engine, and switch off all electrical appliances and lights in the car to reduce battery power consumption; 2. Open the engine hood and check whether the generator drive belt is loose, broken, or slipping; 3. Inspect the generator's wire connections for looseness, which may cause poor contact; 4. Check the battery terminals. If they are loose or corroded, clean the terminal clamps inside and out, then tighten them to see if it resolves the issue. The battery warning light is symbolized by the shape of a battery. If the light turns red while the engine is still running normally during a drive, it indicates that the generator is not charging the battery, and you should immediately stop to inspect the situation.

How to stabilize the load when driving a crane?

You can have the large vehicle follow the direction of the load. If the load swings back and forth and the initial attempt to follow it is unsuccessful, multiple attempts may be needed to stabilize it. A smaller vehicle can be used to follow behind the load. If the timing is precise, a single follow attempt may be sufficient to stabilize it. If the load swings back and forth during movement, the driver should increase the gear in the direction of the swing to accelerate the vehicle and match the movement of the crane hook. Since it is difficult for the driver to distinguish the distance between objects when looking down from above, it is advisable to estimate the height of nearby objects before transporting items.

Should a new car's scratches be repaired immediately?

New car scratches and dents should be repaired promptly as they can affect both the vehicle's appearance and components. If the scratches are not too deep, owners can purchase touch-up paint pens for DIY repairs, and use specialized tools to suction out minor dents. Key features of touch-up paint pens: 1. Quick-drying: Due to application environment constraints, these pens must have rapid air-drying properties at room temperature to prevent dripping or dust contamination that compromises aesthetics; 2. Versatility: While formulated to standard colors for broad compatibility, they cannot perfectly match all aged paint variations. For larger, longer, or deeper scratches, touch-up pens only provide temporary concealment and cannot achieve professional repainting results.

What are the three photo standards for determining a red light violation?

Four photos captured by electronic cameras are used to determine a red light violation: a photo of the vehicle crossing the stop line at the intersection, showing the traffic light as red and the license plate number; a photo of the vehicle completely crossing the stop line, showing the traffic light as red and the license plate number; and a photo of the vehicle continuing to move, with a comparison to check if the vehicle's position has changed, showing the traffic light as red and the license plate number. If these three photos are captured, the vehicle is determined to have run a red light. The act of running a red light is clearly defined in the "Road Traffic Safety Law." Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to pass, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage, and if a vehicle passes through an intersection during a red light, it constitutes a traffic violation of running a red light. Six scenarios of red light violations: Stopping immediately after crossing the line at a red light (when the light turns red, the vehicle cannot stop in time, and the front of the vehicle crosses the stop line): If the vehicle has just crossed the stop line during a red light but stops immediately, this type of red light violation is not penalized. However, if there is noticeable movement after crossing the line, penalties will apply. The three photos captured by electronic cameras for running a red light are: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are available will the act be deemed a red light violation, resulting in a 6-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine under Article 90 of the new "Road Traffic Safety Law." Running a red light under police direction (the signal is red, but the traffic officer signals permission to proceed): When there is a conflict between the traffic signal and the police officer's gesture, motor vehicle drivers must follow the officer's on-site instructions. If a red light violation occurs due to the officer's direction, the driver can obtain a diversion certificate from the local traffic police station to avoid penalties. If the party disagrees with the penalty, they can appeal through administrative reconsideration or administrative litigation. Stopping after the entire vehicle crosses the line at a red light (failing to brake in time, causing the entire vehicle to cross the stop line): If the vehicle stops after completely crossing the stop line without further movement, this is not considered running a red light but rather a case of over-the-line parking. Reversing after over-the-line parking (attempting to avoid penalties by reversing after crossing the line at a red light): Motor vehicles are not allowed to reverse at railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, or tunnels. Violations may result in a warning or fine. Accidentally running a red light behind a large vehicle (due to obstructed visibility caused by a large vehicle ahead, following it through the intersection): Drivers must maintain sufficient visibility to see the traffic signals ahead and ensure a safe braking distance. In most cases, vehicles caught behind large vehicles are penalized for rushing through the intersection. Such behavior is treated as running a red light. Passing through an intersection during a yellow light (crossing the intersection when the signal turns yellow): Traffic authorities state that Article 91 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light flashes may continue to pass. If the yellow light is already on and the driver continues to rush through, it will be considered running a red light if captured.

What does it mean when the vehicle jerks during startup?

Jerking during startup refers to the intermittent sudden surge phenomenon when the vehicle begins to move. If this occurs during a driving test, 10 points will be deducted according to regulations. Test vehicles usually have higher idle speeds; generally, after engaging the gear and releasing the handbrake, slowly lifting the clutch will make the car move. Only after the car starts moving should you press the accelerator and shift gears. Reasons for jerking during the test: 1. Subject Two (Parking Skills): If the clutch is released too quickly and the brake is pressed abruptly, jerking is likely to occur. The car will suddenly surge forward a short distance. 2. Subject Three (Road Driving): If the clutch is released too quickly, the accelerator is pressed too hard and suddenly, and the gear is not in neutral, jerking is prone to happen.

Can You Transfer from One Driving School to Another?

It is possible to transfer to another driving school. During the process of taking the motor vehicle driver's license examination, you can change the examination location once. After changing the examination location, you need to complete all the examination items for the motor vehicle driver's license at this location until you obtain the driver's license. Below is additional information: 1. Is it convenient to apply for a driver's license: Applying for a driver's license is very convenient. For small vehicle-type motor vehicle driver's licenses, you are allowed to register in a different location. When registering, you only need to bring your ID card. For large vehicle driver's licenses, you still need to register at a driving school in your registered residence. This has already provided great convenience for obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license, which is very good. 2. What do you need to bring when registering for a motor vehicle driver's license: When registering for a motor vehicle driver's license, you only need to bring your ID card. If your ID card is lost, you can bring a temporary ID card. The temporary ID card must be issued by the public security authority to be valid. After completing the registration, wait for the physical examination. After passing the physical examination, you can start practicing for the first subject of the motor vehicle driver's license examination.
