Precautions for driving in snowy weather: 1. Pay attention to slowing down and driving cautiously. Due to the slippery road surface after snowfall, the car's grip is only one-sixth of that on a normal road surface, so it is essential to slow down. Otherwise, in case of an emergency, sudden deceleration, acceleration, turning, or braking can easily cause skidding. 2. Replace with antifreeze windshield washer fluid. In snowy weather, it is necessary to frequently clean the windshield, and windshield washer fluid is a must. It is recommended to switch to antifreeze windshield washer fluid in winter. 3. Pay attention to checking tire pressure. According to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, tire pressure tends to be generally lower in snowy weather, so it is important to regularly check the tire pressure.

What are the differences between Type ABC motorhomes?

The differences between Type A, B, and C motorhomes are as follows: 1. Type A motorhomes are the most advanced in the motorhome family, with the largest size and the most comprehensive functions. They are self-propelled motorhomes, not towable ones. Because they are the most luxurious and offer the best comfort, they require a lot of space, which naturally makes them much larger in size. The exterior of these motorhomes is similar to that of large buses, with a very square cabin, not pursuing the aesthetic of streamlined beauty. 2. Type B motorhomes are the smallest in size, often modified from large MPV models, and their appearance is similar to MPVs. They are also self-propelled motorhomes. Due to their small size, the facilities inside are relatively simplified, striving for miniaturization to meet the most basic living needs, and they are also more affordable in price. 3. Type C motorhomes are currently the most numerous in the motorhome market and are a more economically moderate option with comprehensive features. Their prices are not very expensive. They are not as large as Type A motorhomes and also inherit the compact and flexible characteristics of Type B motorhomes.

What is the difference between exiting left and exiting right?

There is not much difference between exiting left and exiting right. Exiting left: Maintain full left turn while reversing. The view in the left rearview mirror will be: seeing the garage line—seeing the left corner of the garage—the entire garage entrance—the car body entering the garage. When you see the lower edge of the left rearview mirror align with the left exit line in the left rearview mirror, you should stop the car. Exiting right: Maintain full right turn while reversing. The view in the right rearview mirror will be: not seeing the garage corner—seeing the garage corner—the distance between the garage corner and the car body continuously decreasing, and the garage corner also sinking from top to bottom. When you see the distance between the garage corner and the car body is about the thickness of a pen in the right rearview mirror, quickly straighten the steering wheel. Continue reversing backward, and you will see the garage corner in the right rearview mirror continue to move downward. When the garage corner disappears from view, quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the right.

What are the penalties for changing lanes over a solid line?

The "Road Traffic Safety Violation Scoring Standards" stipulate: Article 3: If a motor vehicle driver commits any of the following violations, 3 points will be deducted. Point 8: Driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibition signs or prohibited line markings. Main manifestations of crossing solid lines: Making a U-turn by crossing single or double yellow solid lines, illegally changing lanes by crossing white solid lines, making a U-turn in a no-U-turn section, or turning left in a no-left-turn section. Among these, no-U-turn and no-left-turn signs are marked as ground lines. Main causes of such traffic violations: When approaching an intersection, encountering unexpected situations without taking proper queuing measures, instead choosing to cross lines and merge to bypass; when there are many vehicles at an intersection, drivers choose to "cut in line" by crossing solid lines, especially during peak traffic hours; unfamiliarity with road conditions, failing to observe road markings in time when approaching an intersection, and accidentally crossing prohibited lines; knowingly violating intersection rules, still attempting to make a U-turn or pass illegally, such as going straight from a right-turn lane.

Should the Rearview Mirror Show the Tires?

The rearview mirror does not need to show the tires. It is recommended to adjust the right rearview mirror slightly outward to ensure visibility of the car body while also capturing more of the space to the right rear. Many vehicles have a blind spot about 1 meter outside the right rear door. Installing a blue-tinted mirror can help expand the field of vision. Below is relevant information: 1. Rearview mirrors are tools that allow drivers to directly obtain information about the rear, sides, and lower parts of the vehicle while seated in the driver's seat. For the convenience of the driver and to prevent traffic accidents and ensure personal safety, all countries mandate the installation of rearview mirrors in vehicles, and all rearview mirrors must be adjustable. 2. Rearview mirrors involve the concept of a field of view, which refers to the range that the mirror surface can reflect. The industry mentions three key elements of the field of view: the distance between the driver's eyes and the rearview mirror, the size of the rearview mirror, and the radius of curvature of the mirror. These three elements are interrelated. When the distance and size of the rearview mirror are the same, a smaller radius of curvature of the mirror surface results in a larger reflected field of view. Similarly, when the radius of curvature is the same, a larger mirror size provides a wider reflected field of view.

Can I change the license plate right after getting it for a new car?

You cannot change the license plate right after getting it for a new car. License plate cancellation time: The vehicle license plate can be canceled, but the vehicle for which the cancellation is being processed must have been registered under your name for more than three years. You can also replace your own motor vehicle license plate by bringing your vehicle license and original ID card, along with a copy, to the vehicle management office to fill out the motor vehicle license plate replacement application form. Submit your original license plate and then pay the processing fee. According to regulations, this license plate replacement procedure can be completed within one working day. Once the vehicle license plate is canceled, it cannot be recovered, and you can only apply for a new vehicle license plate. To cancel a vehicle license plate, bring the vehicle license to the traffic police department to apply. Vehicle license plate: A vehicle license plate is a hard number plate with a unified format and style as stipulated by national vehicle management regulations.

Do I need to handle traffic violations for the biennial inspection of a new car?

New cars require handling traffic violations for the biennial inspection. Vehicle annual inspection: It refers to a mandatory inspection for every vehicle, equivalent to a physical examination for the vehicle, aiming to promptly eliminate potential safety hazards and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents, commonly known as vehicle inspection. On May 16, 2014, the Ministry of Public Security and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine jointly issued the "Opinions on Strengthening and Improving Motor Vehicle Inspection Work," introducing a series of new measures such as exempting non-operational passenger cars from on-site inspections within six years, implementing cross-regional vehicle inspections, and comprehensively promoting the socialization of inspection institutions. These measures aim to make motor vehicle inspections more stringent and standardized, thereby increasing public satisfaction. Legal provisions: Operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within five years; after five years, they must be inspected every six months. Starting from September 1, 2014, a trial exemption system was implemented for non-operational passenger cars and other small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans and vehicles with seven or more seats) within six years. During this period, vehicle owners only need to provide proof of compulsory traffic insurance and evidence of vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption every two years to directly apply for the inspection mark from the traffic management department of the public security authorities.
