After buying a car, pay attention to: 1. Body paint: Check the flatness of the body panels and bumpers; there should be no abnormal dents or bulges. Also, carefully inspect the paintwork on all parts, especially areas that are prone to scratches during transportation. 2. Car interior: The door windows should move up and down smoothly, reaching the top when raised and the bottom when lowered. The front seats should move freely back and forth with multiple fixed positions, allowing passengers to choose a comfortable seating position. 3. Trunk space: Ensure it is clean, the inner lining is flat, the opening mechanism works smoothly, and the locking mechanism is reliable. 4. Open the engine hood and check for oil stains or dust on the engine and its attachments, especially around the joint between the cylinder head and cylinder block, the oil filter interface, the air conditioning compressor, the power steering pump, and the drive shaft for any leaks.

Why is overtaking prohibited in tunnels?

Tunnels prohibit overtaking primarily due to poor ventilation inside tunnels. One of the main components of vehicle exhaust, lead, adheres to the road surface within the tunnel, making it slippery. If an emergency occurs while overtaking on such a surface, it can cause the vehicle to lose directional control, leading to a tailspin and resulting in a major traffic accident. 1. Reasons: Tunnels have narrow spaces, insufficient lighting, poor visibility, and enclosed spaces, making rescue difficult. In case of a fire, toxic gases cannot disperse. Accelerating while overtaking can easily lead to speeding. 2. Additional Information: Driving a motor vehicle without following overtaking or yielding regulations, or driving in the opposite direction, will result in a 3-point penalty. Overtaking is prohibited in busy sections, intersections, railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads or bridges less than 4 meters wide, steep slopes, tunnels, or sections prone to danger.
