In the UK, vehicles drive on the left side of the road, with the steering wheel on the right. Traffic system: Currently, there are two types of traffic systems in the world, one is driving on the right side, and the other is driving on the left side. About 90% of the countries in the world implement right-hand traffic, while the remaining countries drive on the left. Implementation system: Countries that implement left-hand traffic include the UK, Ireland, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, etc., hence the steering wheel is on the right. In contrast, most countries in continental Europe, North America, China, and around the world adopt right-hand traffic rules, with the steering wheel designed on the left in many countries.

What should I pay attention to when choosing a driving school?

When choosing a driving school, you need to pay attention to the following points: 1. Is the driving school legitimate: When choosing a driving school, you must investigate in advance. There are usually two to three hundred driving schools in each region, but very few of them are truly qualified. When selecting a driving school, first check whether it has a business license, operation permit, etc. 2. Does it have its own test site: Choosing a driving school with its own test site has a significant impact on later exams and obtaining the license. Generally, driving schools with their own test sites have higher pass rates. If you are unsure how to check whether the driving school you are consulting has a test site, you can log in to the exam booking system, where all test sites in each region are listed. 3. The training scale of the driving school: The training scale of a driving school can reflect its investment status. To some extent, the size of a driving school represents its strength and can also objectively estimate how many trainees it can accommodate each month. 4. Registration fees: When choosing a driving school, consider the actual situation comprehensively. Do not be attracted by low registration fees. Consult several schools and make sure to clarify all details in advance to avoid being deceived after registration.

How often should a 7-seater MPV be inspected?

7-seater MPVs fall under the category of small passenger vehicles, and their inspection frequency should be determined based on the vehicle's age: 1. For non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles (including 7-seaters) within the first 6 years: exempt from annual inspection. 2. After exceeding 6 years: For vehicles aged between 6-10 years, only 2 on-site inspections are required (in the 6th and 8th year respectively). For vehicles over 10 years old: annual inspection is required. For vehicles over 15 years old: semi-annual inspection is required. Additional information about MPVs: 1. Introduction: MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) evolved from station wagons, combining the spaciousness of wagons, comfort of sedans, and functionality of vans. Typically featuring a two-box design, they can accommodate 7-8 passengers. 2. Structural basis: Most MPVs use car platforms with transverse front-mounted engines and monocoque body design. The cabin features flexible seating arrangements where all or partial seats can be folded down. MPV body designs often incorporate low-drag aerodynamic styling elements from racing cars.

Will the Steering Wheel Screw Loosen?

There is no screw; the steering wheel has one fixing screw in the very center, under the airbag. Reasons for a loose steering wheel: Severe wear of the steering gear and tie rod end; clearance caused by wear of the steering universal joint; the horn button area of the steering wheel has a gear-shaped shaft, and the grooves on the gear-shaped shaft are also worn out; whether there is any clearance in the steering ball joint; steering system malfunction. Steering Wheel: The earliest cars used a tiller to control driving. This transmitted the intense vibrations generated during driving to the driver, making it more difficult to control the direction. When the engine was relocated to the front of the vehicle, the increased weight made it impossible for the driver to continue using the tiller. The new design of the steering wheel emerged, introducing a gear system between the driver and the wheels that was flexible to operate and effectively isolated the intense vibrations from the road. Moreover, a good steering wheel system can provide the driver with a sense of intimate connection with the road.

What is the fuel consumption of the Accord?

Honda Accord fuel consumption: The 230TURBO version has a fuel consumption of 6.4L/100km, while the 260TURBO version consumes 6.0L/100km. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a theoretical indicator value provided by the manufacturer, measured under objective conditions using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated through specified speed driving to determine the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data for the model. Other classifications of vehicle fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Road condition fuel consumption: This refers to the fuel index calculated by repeatedly testing the vehicle driving at specified speeds and times on designated roads, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. 2. Hourly fuel consumption: If the engine speed is controlled within the same safe range, regardless of the vehicle's speed, the hourly fuel consumption remains the same. This method is more accurate for calculating fuel consumption on highways and in engineering transport, where the first two methods are not suitable. The formula for hourly fuel consumption is: fuel consumption per 100 kilometers / 100 * limit speed * 0.8 (the limit speed is the highest safe speed).
