The reason why the steering wheels of foreign cars are on the right: Different countries have different traffic systems. 66% of the countries in the world drive on the right, while 34% drive on the left. Countries that implement left-hand traffic include: the United Kingdom, Ireland, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, etc. Therefore, the steering wheels of cars in these countries are on the right. In continental Europe, North America, China, and most countries around the world, the right-hand traffic rule is adopted, and many countries have steering wheels designed on the left.

How to Determine the Positive and Negative Poles of a Speaker

When the speaker cone retracts inward, the terminal connected to the positive pole of the battery is the negative pole of the speaker, and vice versa. Set the multimeter to the ohm range, then touch the two terminals of the speaker with the probes. The speaker will move slightly when contacted, and pushing forward indicates the standard positive and negative poles. Generally, for audio output wires, the wires for the same speaker will be of the same color group. The positive wire will be solid-colored, while the negative wire will have thin black lines or dashed lines.

What are the differences between Lavida and Sagitar?

The main difference between Lavida and the current Sagitar lies in the suspension. The platform distinction does not result in significant differences in actual driving experience. As an A+ segment vehicle, it offers ample space. The exterior design incorporates the excellent styling language of models like the Phideon and Passat, giving the Lavida a certain level of visual appeal. Both dimensions and interior space are slightly smaller than the Lavida Plus, leaving the suspension as the only remaining advantage.
