In an automatic transmission car, the brake is on the left side. The brake refers to the action that stops or reduces the speed of a running locomotive, vehicle, other means of transport, or machinery. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. The gears of an automatic transmission are divided into: 1. P (Park) gear, which is the parking and starting gear; 2. R (Reverse) gear, which is the reverse gear; 3. N (Neutral) gear, which is the neutral gear; 4. D (Drive) gear, which is the forward gear, also known as the driving gear; 5. L (Low) gear, which is the low-speed gear; and 6. S (Sport) gear, which is the sport mode. The correct method to park an automatic transmission car is: 1. Press the brake pedal to bring the car to a smooth stop; 2. Shift the gear from D to N and engage the handbrake; 3. Press the foot brake and shift the gear from N to P; 4. Release the foot brake, press the one-button start button, and turn off the power.

When I first learned to drive an automatic car, I was quite nervous. Sitting in the driver's seat, there were only two pedals beneath my feet—the brake was always on the left, and the accelerator on the right. The design is very smart, eliminating the complexity of a manual transmission's clutch, allowing my foot to accurately reach the brake with a simple extension. The instructor said this is the standard layout for left-hand drive cars: the steering wheel on the left and the brake positioned left-rear for safety first, ensuring instinctive reactions in emergencies. After years of driving, the positioning has become muscle memory, and I no longer worry about confusing the pedals. Beginners are advised to practice in neutral a few times to get familiar with the pedal feel before safely hitting the road. The operation is simple and hassle-free, and confidence grows with more practice.

Will I get points deducted for speeding between 10% and 20% in urban areas?

Speeding between 10% and 20% will result in point deductions. Regulations: Exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 30% will result in a fine and 6 penalty points. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 30% but less than 50% will result in a fine and 6 penalty points. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 50% but less than 70% will result in a fine and 12 penalty points, and may also lead to license suspension. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 70% will result in a fine and 12 penalty points, and may also lead to license suspension. For roads with speed limits below 60 km/h, speeding less than 50% will result in a warning. Hazards of speeding: Speeding causes significant wear and tear on vehicles. High-speed operation increases the workload and stress on the vehicle, accelerating the wear and damage of components. This is particularly detrimental to the tires, causing jumpy and skidding wear, increasing friction temperature, and making the tires prone to aging and deformation, which can lead to blowout accidents.

Is Vehicle Inspection Required for Out-of-City Vehicle Transfer?

Vehicle inspection is required for out-of-city vehicle transfer. Process for out-of-city vehicle transfer: Consult the local vehicle registration requirements to ensure the vehicle can be accepted in the destination city. Bring the necessary transfer documents (including IDs of both parties, vehicle registration certificate, driving license, engine number rubbing strip; the buyer must have a local ID or residence permit) and drive the vehicle to the vehicle registration service station to complete the outbound transfer and file extraction. Once the files arrive, drive the vehicle to complete the registration process. Transfer is a mandatory step when purchasing a used car. Without transfer, the legal owner remains the previous owner. After transfer, the owner name on the vehicle registration certificate will be updated to the current owner, and a new driving license will be issued by the DMV. Documents required for out-of-city vehicle transfer: Original documents such as the original owner's ID; new owner's ID; vehicle driving license/duplicate; purchase tax certificate; vehicle and vessel tax payment proof; vehicle registration certificate; vehicle criminal inspection report; road maintenance fee receipt; insurance policy/card/invoice, etc.

What causes the Cruze's brake pedal to be hard to press and unable to stop the car?

Reasons for the brake pedal being hard to press: 1. Pressing the brake before turning off the engine; the car's braking system works best when the engine is running, and the brake booster is the key component that amplifies the force applied to the pedal. When the engine is off, the brake booster stops functioning, and typically, pressing the brake pedal three times will deplete its remaining vacuum force, making the brake feel hard due to the lack of assistance from the brake booster. Solution: In this case, simply restart the engine and try pressing the brake pedal firmly again. Once the engine is running, the brake booster will resume operation, and the brake pedal will return to normal. 2. Brake booster failure: If the car's brake booster is leaking or malfunctioning, and you haven't pressed the brake pedal after turning off the engine, or if you notice the brake pedal is hard to press while driving, it is likely due to a faulty brake booster, a leaking vacuum pipe, or a blockage. Solution: If you notice this issue before driving, it is safest not to continue and to take the car to a repair shop for inspection. If the issue arises while driving, stay calm and focus on slowing down to a stop. You can try pressing the pedal multiple times to see if braking can be restored, as applying more force can often engage the brakes.
