In most cases, neither lane in a two-lane road is designated for straight driving, as two-lane roads typically only have a left-turn lane and a right-turn lane, with no dedicated straight lane. Therefore, generally, neither of the two lanes is suitable for straight driving. If the road direction has more than two lanes, then those two lanes are usually designated as straight lanes, allowing you to choose either for straight driving. The main difference lies in the speed of the lanes: the left lane is usually the faster lane, while the right lane is the slower one. Rules for driving in a two-lane road: In roads with more than two lanes in the same direction, the left lane is typically the faster lane, and the right lane is the slower one. Therefore, when driving in the left (faster) lane, you must adhere to the speed limit designated for that lane. If the road has turning lanes (left and right), you must follow the lane designated for your intended turning direction. When driving on a two-lane road, always pay attention to the lane markings. Two-way two-lane roads: These roads have a dashed centerline marking but no restrictions on bidirectional traffic flow, provided that vehicle safety is ensured. Vehicles are also allowed to cross the dashed line for left turns. Since the centerline is dashed, there is no unified national standard for its design, and it is constructed based on local conditions. In urban areas, two-lane roads usually do not have sidewalks, except on major city thoroughfares where they are mandatory.

How many days after converting from C1 to C2 can I schedule the exam?

After converting from C1 to C2, it generally takes about a week to schedule the exam, and you need to make an appointment in advance. Here are some important notes about the driving test: Exam Scheduling: The vehicle management office arranges the test based on the scheduled test center and time. After passing the subject one exam, applicants can schedule the subject two or subject three road driving skills test. If the vehicle management office cannot arrange the subject two or subject three road driving skills test within 60 days, applicants can choose to schedule the exam at another test center within the province. Scheduling Methods: The vehicle management office uses a nationally unified exam scheduling system, providing options such as internet, phone, and service windows for applicants to schedule exams.

What size tires can be fitted on 19-inch specifications?

19-inch specifications can be fitted with 235/55R19 tires. Considerations for tire selection are as follows: Select according to vehicle model: Choose tires that match the original specifications of the car. When the manufacturer specifies different tire sizes for the front and rear positions, follow their guidelines. Do not mix tires of different specifications or brands on the same vehicle or axle. Installing two different tire specifications on the same axle can cause oversteering or understeering, leading to side slipping. Select according to the rim: When replacing tubeless tires with new ones, also replace the valve stems. Consult with a tire shop when selecting rims to ensure they are compatible with the tire specifications.

What Causes a Pebble-Like Rattling Sound in the Car?

There is a rattling sound in the car resembling small pebbles due to issues with the car door, sunroof, or dashboard. For the car door, first check if the screws are loose. The sunroof rattling is generally normal. Dashboard rattling is usually related to the overall build quality and materials of the car. Below are the detailed reasons: Car Door Rattling: The car door rattles because its structure is relatively simple. First, check if the screws are loose. Sunroof Rattling: Sunroof rattling is generally normal. Over years of use, small pebbles or dust can accumulate in the sunroof tracks, and prolonged lack of tight sealing can cause rattling. Check the sunroof's sealing and replace the sealing strip if necessary. Dashboard Rattling: Dashboard rattling is usually related to the car's overall build quality and materials. Consider whether the dashboard panel has been previously removed, if a navigation system was installed, or if it was reassembled properly. Alternatively, take the car to a repair shop for a thorough inspection.

Do tires need to be replaced after five years of use?

Tires that have been in use for 5 years should be replaced promptly. The longer tires are used, the higher the risk of tread deformation and blowouts. Tires are rubber products. Prolonged exposure to air, especially to air and sunlight, causes gradual aging, leading to a decline in performance and a sharp increase in the likelihood of blowouts. To extend the service life of tires, it is recommended to rotate the tires every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. Generally, front tires wear out more severely than rear tires. Rotating them ensures more even wear and prevents the front tires from becoming unusable due to excessive wear. When rotating the tires, it is also advisable to perform a four-wheel alignment and tire dynamic balance to prevent uneven wear that would necessitate premature replacement. Four-wheel alignment adjusts the vehicle's suspension parameters to ensure the wheels are aligned straight forward, while dynamic balance ensures the weight balance of the entire wheel by matching counterweights. Before driving, check the tire pressure to ensure it is neither too high nor too low, typically maintained around 2.2-2.5 Bar. In winter, as temperatures drop, tire pressure decreases due to thermal contraction. Therefore, it is recommended to inflate the tires appropriately during colder months.

Will the car stall when starting in second gear?

Starting in second gear is prone to stalling, and it is generally recommended to start in first gear. Here are some precautions for driving: Gear shifting: Automatic transmission vehicles have protection and interlock mechanisms for gear shifting. Switching from D (Drive) to R (Reverse) or P (Park) unintentionally can be dangerous, but switching between D and N (Neutral) can be done freely, even while driving. Avoid coasting in neutral: Coasting in neutral with an automatic transmission does not save fuel. Prolonged coasting in neutral can lead to insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic lines of the automatic transmission, increasing friction, reducing lubrication effectiveness, and potentially damaging the internal friction plates of the transmission.

What are the effects of the SVS light being on?

SVS light coming on indicates that there is a fault in the engine, and it needs to be inspected and repaired at a 4S shop. Here is some relevant information about the SVS indicator light: Working principle: When the ignition key is turned on, this light will illuminate and will turn off after the vehicle starts. If the engine ECU detects a fault, the SVS light will also come on. If this light comes on while the vehicle is in motion, it indicates that there is a fault in the vehicle's engine. Function of the SVS fault light: The SVS fault indicator is a warning light that alerts the owner when the ECU or TCU of an electronically fuel-injected car detects a problem with the engine or automatic transmission. As soon as this light comes on, it is recommended that the owner takes the vehicle to a repair shop for inspection as soon as possible.
