In an automatic car, the brake pedal is located below the driver's side control panel. The left pedal is the brake. The principle of car braking is to use the friction between the brake pads and discs, as well as between the tires and the ground, to generate significant friction, converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat energy through friction, thereby stopping the rotating parts. An automatic car refers to a vehicle where the driver does not need to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. The gears in an automatic transmission are: 1. P (Park) for parking; 2. R (Reverse) for reversing; 3. N (Neutral) for neutral; 4. D (Drive) for driving forward; 5. S (Sport) for sport mode; 6. L (Low) for low gear.

Will the 13-year mandatory scrapping policy for motorcycles be abolished?

So far, the regulations on motorcycle scrapping have not changed. However, the 13-year mandatory scrapping policy for motorcycles will soon be abolished, but the specific changes are still under discussion. Reasons for abolishing the policy: 1. Few riders: The number of motorcycle riders is very small, and it has become a niche demand. Some people even spend a lot of money on motorcycles just for collection. In addition, the quality of motorcycles has improved significantly compared to before, so the 13-year mandatory scrapping policy is no longer suitable for the current situation. 2. Infrequent use: Many motorcycles that are not frequently used are still in like-new condition when they reach the 13-year limit, and the mileage is not high. Some people are unwilling to discard their motorcycles that have reached the scrapping age and can only keep them at home as souvenirs, but these souvenirs cannot be used on the road and take up a lot of space.

How to Reduce High Fuel Consumption in a New Car?

Methods to reduce high fuel consumption in a new car are as follows: 1. Avoid sudden braking and acceleration as much as possible: A gentle and smooth driving style is the most fuel-efficient. During the starting phase, avoid slamming the accelerator. The correct method is to accelerate smoothly and maintain a steady speed once a certain velocity is reached. When driving in congested areas, observe the road conditions ahead to avoid sudden braking. This not only saves fuel but also extends the vehicle's lifespan. 2. Avoid prolonged engine idling: The fuel consumption during idling is much higher than during normal driving. Therefore, if the vehicle is stationary for a long time, such as when waiting for someone, it is best to turn off the engine. 3. Maintain an appropriate driving speed: Generally, the most fuel-efficient speed is around 88.5 km/h. Fuel consumption increases by 15% when the speed rises to 105 km/h and by 25% at speeds between 110 to 120 km/h.

What is the Scrap Period for Pickup Trucks?

Currently, pickup trucks are still subject to the mandatory scrapping regulation of 15 years or 600,000 kilometers. However, some regions are gradually relaxing the 15-year scrapping rule for pickups, and household pickups no longer have a scrapping period but are still subject to the 600,000-kilometer scrapping regulation. Currently, the government is gradually providing subsidies for eligible National III diesel vehicles to be phased out. Taking Hangzhou as an example, the maximum subsidy amount is 14,500 yuan, while in some regions, the scrapping subsidy for diesel pickups can be as high as 40,000 yuan per vehicle. Second-hand scrapped pickups can also enjoy subsidies. Pickup Truck Scrapping and Deregistration: The applicant must send the vehicle to be scrapped to a qualified motor vehicle recycling company for scrapping and dismantling, obtaining the "Recycled Motor Vehicle Certificate." The recycling company will then process the "Motor Vehicle Deregistration Certificate" with the traffic management department of the public security bureau and notify the owner that the vehicle has been deregistered. Pickup Truck Scrapping Subsidy Application: The applicant (or an authorized agent) must go to the service window to fill out and submit the "National III Diesel Vehicle Phase-out Subsidy Fund Application Form." The following documents are required for the application: Original and photocopy of the "Recycled Motor Vehicle Certificate"; Original and photocopy of the owner's ID card (for individual vehicles) or the business license (for company vehicles); Original and photocopy of the owner's bank card (with a personal signature on the photocopy) or the company's bank account opening license (with the company's official seal on the photocopy); If handled by an authorized agent, a notarized power of attorney from the owner or the company's legal representative and the original and photocopy of the agent's ID card are also required. Pickup Truck Subsidy Disbursement: After approval, the subsidy funds will be transferred to the bank account opened under the owner's (or company's) name.
