Why Are Manual Transmission Cars Used for Driving License Training?

Reasons why manual transmission cars are used for driving license training: The C1 license is the most common type, and learning to drive a manual transmission vehicle also enables one to operate automatic transmission cars. Additionally, manual transmission vehicles are more cost-effective, and there is a deeper reason—safety. The following points introduce manual transmission: 1. Manual transmission primarily relies on the driver to operate the clutch pedal for gear changes. Driving a manual transmission car allows the driver to better experience the thrill of climbing hills, accelerating, and the joy of controlling the vehicle. 2. Due to the more complex operation, it demands higher driving skills from the driver. Drivers proficient in manual transmission can significantly reduce the likelihood of accidents through subconscious good handling when responding to emergencies and unexpected situations.

Why Are License Plates More Likely to Fall Off on Rainy Days?

It's not that license plates are more likely to fall off on rainy days, but rather that they are more prone to being lost when the vehicle is driving through water. This is because when a vehicle moves through water, the resistance from the water is hundreds of times greater than the resistance from air under normal conditions. Many license plates that get washed away are secured with only two screws, making them easily lifted by the water flow. Here are three methods to prevent losing your license plate: 1. Reduce your speed before entering a waterlogged section (do not stall the engine midway); 2. Strengthen the fixation of the license plate by using four screws as required; 3. Secure the license plate directly to the bumper with bolts.

How Long Can Engine Oil Be Stored?

Generally speaking, unopened engine oil has a shelf life of about five years. The storage period for used oil after sealing varies depending on its type: mineral oil can typically be stored for 6 months; semi-synthetic oil can be stored for 9 months; and full synthetic oil can be stored for 12 months or even longer. Here are the storage methods for opened engine oil: 1. Ensure the storage environment for the oil bottle is clean and dry, and make sure there is no sunlight exposure to prevent oxidation reactions in the oil. 2. The oil must be sealed immediately after opening. After completing car maintenance, you should promptly cover the bottle mouth with a clean plastic film and tighten the oil bottle cap.
