Countries where cars have the steering wheel on the right include: Japan, Thailand, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of travel. Its function is to connect to the steering shaft via splines and convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. The working principle of the steering wheel is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Precautions for operating the steering wheel include: 1. When turning the steering wheel back, do it quickly and accurately to return to the correct position; 2. Do not apply excessive force when turning the steering wheel; 3. When driving in hazardous mountainous areas or on poor road surfaces, hold the steering wheel with both hands to prevent accidents; 4. Avoid turning the steering wheel when the vehicle is stationary.

What vehicles can be driven with a C1 driver's license?

C1 driver's license allows driving small and mini passenger vehicles, as well as light and mini cargo vehicles, and light, small, and mini special operation vehicles. Vehicles that cannot be driven with a C1 license include: large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, mopeds, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and trams. The C1 driver's license is one of the codes for motor vehicle driving licenses. The order of examination subjects follows traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safety and civilization knowledge. During the examination, if a candidate fails in a previous subject, the following subjects will not proceed. There is one attempt for each of the second and third subjects, with one retake allowed. If the candidate still fails after the retake, the examination is terminated. Within the validity period of the learning driving certificate, reapplying for the examination is permitted. The maximum number of reapplications allowed is determined by local traffic authorities, with an interval of no less than 10 days between examinations.

What to Do When the Airbag Warning Light Comes On?

If the airbag warning light comes on, it cannot be manually reset. The owner needs to take the vehicle to a 4S shop or repair shop to use a specialized fault diagnostic tool to check which component is damaged. Based on the fault code displayed by the diagnostic tool, the damaged component should be replaced to reset the warning light. The airbag warning light may come on under the following circumstances: 1. There is an internal fault in the airbag system, such as a loose connection plug for the driver's airbag, a damaged airbag clock spring, poor contact in the airbag collision sensor plug or a fault in the sensor itself, or damage to the airbag control unit. 2. All airbags deploy after a vehicle collision. 3. The vehicle's alternator is not generating electricity, and the battery charge is too low.

What are the gears of an automatic car?

Automatic cars have the following gears: 1. P stands for Parking gear, used when the car is parked and not in use. In this gear, the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling; 2. R stands for Reverse gear, used when reversing; 3. N stands for Neutral gear, used for temporary stops (such as at a red light). Note that to prevent the car from rolling on a slope, the brake must be pressed; 4. D stands for Drive gear; 5. 2nd gear is a Low gear, used when starting on a steep slope or a very inclined gradient; 6. L stands for Low gear, used when going downhill or on a long slope. This gear limits the car to only low gears, allowing the engine's power to brake the car downhill, preventing the driver from having to press the brake for a long time, which could overheat the brake pads and cause danger; 7. OD gear stands for Overdrive gear, used for high-speed driving to achieve fuel efficiency.

What vehicles can be driven with a C2 driver's license?

C2 driver's license allows the holder to drive small and micro automatic transmission passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicles. The C2 license is limited to driving automatic transmission vehicles with no more than 9 seats and a vehicle length not exceeding 6 meters. It does not permit driving manual transmission vehicles, which is why most people opt for the manual transmission C1 license when obtaining a driver's license. The examination subjects and procedures for C2 are essentially the same as those for C1, requiring all subject tests to be completed. However, since automatic transmission vehicles do not have a clutch pedal and do not require gear shifting, they are easier to operate, eliminating concerns about stalling. The requirements for C2 examination vehicles include light automatic transmission ordinary cargo vehicles with a length of no less than 5 meters, small automatic transmission ordinary passenger vehicles with a length of no less than 4 meters, or automatic transmission cars with a length of no less than 4 meters.

Will Making a U-Turn on the Highway Definitely Be Captured by Cameras?

Making a U-turn on the highway is extremely dangerous and will definitely be captured by cameras. You must never engage in such risky behavior. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," reversing, driving against traffic, or making a U-turn by crossing the central divider on a highway not only results in fines but also leads to a full deduction of 12 points from your license. Below are precautions for driving on highways: Drive in the designated lane: Highways have clearly marked lanes for large vehicles, small vehicles, etc. When overtaking, once you occupy a lane, return to your original lane promptly after completing the maneuver. Do not occupy other lanes for extended periods. Additionally, the emergency lane should not be occupied for non-emergency reasons. Maintain a safe speed and avoid speeding: The dangers of speeding are well-known, whether on local roads or highways, as it can lead to irreversible consequences. Maintain a safe following distance: Generally, on dry roads with good braking conditions, the following distance (in meters) should not be less than the speed (in km/h). For example, at 80 km/h, maintain at least 80 meters; at 100 km/h, keep at least 100 meters. Always pay attention to roadside distance markers. In rainy, foggy, snowy, or wet road conditions, double the following distance. Observe traffic signs: Always watch for roadside and overhead signs and markings while driving. Stay slightly to the right to avoid running over the right lane divider, providing enough lateral space for overtaking vehicles. Do not arbitrarily occupy the emergency lane in case of accidents: Traffic accidents are inevitable on highways. If other vehicles cause a blockage, do not occupy the emergency lane, as this may hinder rescue operations. Avoid fatigue driving and take timely breaks: Fatigue driving is highly dangerous on highways. When fatigued, reaction times slow, making it difficult to respond correctly to sudden situations.

What does the S gear mean?

S gear is the sport mode of a car. Many automatic transmission cars are equipped with an S gear, and some high-end models of A-segment cars also feature an S gear design. In S gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, allowing the engine to maintain high RPM for a longer period. This keeps the car in a lower gear with higher RPM for an extended time, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. When using S gear, due to the increased RPM, the engine's fuel injection changes, increasing power output. At the same time, the suspension becomes stiffer compared to normal mode, reducing body roll during cornering and minimizing nose-dive during braking, though comfort is somewhat compromised.
