If the car runs out of gas and stalls on the road, it is recommended to pull over to the side, turn on the hazard lights, and place a triangular warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle. You can call your insurance company, as they typically offer roadside assistance services. If you are on a highway, dial the highway emergency number. When the car is running low on fuel, it will exhibit noticeable jerking. In such cases, quickly turn on the hazard lights and pull over as soon as possible. Before driving, always check if the vehicle needs refueling to prevent running out of gas. Drivers should avoid waiting until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling. While driving, pay attention to the fuel gauge. When the needle indicates only a quarter of the tank remains, it’s time to refuel. It is advisable not to wait for the fuel warning light to illuminate before refueling.

Under what circumstances should a straight-going vehicle yield to a turning vehicle?

Circumstances where a straight-going vehicle should yield to a turning vehicle are as follows: If the driver encounters a yield sign while driving, even when entering the intersection in a straight-going manner, they must yield to vehicles merging or turning from other intersections; At intersections with traffic lights, if the right-side vehicle's direction has turned red, but vehicles within the intersection have not completely passed through, and the straight-going lane on this side has a green light, the vehicles that entered the intersection first should be allowed to proceed; For vehicles exiting from the main road to the auxiliary road, compared to vehicles traveling on the auxiliary road, their right-side blind spots are larger due to the obstruction of the main-auxiliary road divider, making it difficult to observe the path of auxiliary road vehicles. Additionally, although the speed of vehicles exiting the main road is decreasing, it remains relatively high, which can easily lead to severe traffic accidents. Therefore, auxiliary road vehicles must yield to main road vehicles; On urban main roads, some auxiliary road entrances merging into the main road will have merging lanes with turning guides, and there will also be corresponding guide lanes before the entrance to direct main road vehicles to yield to vehicles entering from the front. If a vehicle proceeds straight into the guide lane and collides with an auxiliary road vehicle turning into the main road, the vehicle that entered the guide lane will bear full responsibility; When traveling in the same direction, the vehicle in front has the right of way over the vehicle behind. Therefore, whether the front vehicle is turning or making a U-turn, it has priority over the straight-going vehicle behind. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, when the front vehicle is turning left or making a U-turn, the rear vehicle is prohibited from overtaking.

Where is the fuel tank switch located on the Lynk & Co 03?

Near the driver's seat, there is a fuel tank symbol indicating the location of the fuel tank cover switch. After unlocking the car, simply press the fuel tank cover to open it. Below are some precautions for refueling: 1. Mixing gasoline: Some vehicles have higher requirements for gasoline. In fact, mixing gasoline has minimal short-term effects, except that lower-grade gasoline has higher detonation properties, with little other impact. Gasoline grades vary, and each type has different component ratios, leading to performance differences. Therefore, always check the gasoline grade before refueling. 2. Adding fuel after the pump stops: At gas stations, staff often add a little more fuel to round up the total cost after the tank is full. However, in summer, fuel expands due to high temperatures. 3. Fuel additives: Gas station staff often recommend adding fuel additives during refueling. However, fuel additives cannot fundamentally solve engine carbon deposit issues, so it's best to avoid them.

How many days does it generally take to receive information about traffic violation photos?

For traffic violations captured by cameras (non-on-site tickets), it usually takes more than 15 days to be able to check them, and the time varies in different regions. One week is quite common. If you are worried about having committed a traffic violation, you can check online for any relevant information one week after you suspect the violation occurred. To be more certain, you can check again after 15 days. Additional information: If the violation was captured by electronic surveillance cameras, the vehicle owner can check the violation record on the traffic website. After finding the record, they can go to the traffic police department at the location of the violation to handle the matter within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. There is no need to handle it within 15 days. However, it is important to try not to exceed the scoring cycle of a driver's license to avoid accumulating a full 12 points in the next scoring cycle due to not clearing the points in time during the current cycle.
