Because the law stipulates that traffic should keep to the right. According to Article 35 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles shall drive on the right side. The following are relevant provisions: 1. Article 36: Based on road conditions and traffic needs, roads are divided into motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes, and sidewalks. Motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians shall travel in their respective lanes. On roads without divided lanes, motor vehicles shall travel in the middle, while non-motor vehicles and pedestrians shall travel on both sides. 2. Article 57: When driving non-motor vehicles on the road, relevant traffic safety regulations shall be observed. Non-motor vehicles shall drive within non-motor vehicle lanes; on roads without non-motor vehicle lanes, they shall drive on the right side of the vehicle lane.

Speaking of why both people and vehicles drive on the right side in our country, we have to trace back through history. Let me start from the era of horse-drawn carriages. In ancient times, knights rode on the left side of their horses, holding weapons in their right hands to easily defend against enemy attacks. After cars became widespread, the Chinese government officially mandated driving on the right in 1946, aligning with international standards to avoid the confusion seen in Commonwealth countries that drive on the left. This unification simplified traffic rules, allowing drivers to get accustomed to steering with their right hands, which provides a broader field of vision and reduces overtaking accidents. Overall, it not only improved road efficiency but also helped China integrate global standards during industrialization, making daily travel safer and smoother for everyone.

What are the new regulations for renewing a C1 driver's license?

Driver's licenses can be renewed up to 3 months in advance. Within ninety days before the expiration of the motor vehicle driver's license, apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the license was originally issued. When applying, you must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form". Documents required for renewal: Bring two copies of your ID card, two recent 1-inch color photos without a hat, original ID card, original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (you can also get a free medical examination at the vehicle management office). Renewal process: The motor vehicle driver should bring the required documents to the vehicle management office where the license was originally issued to apply for renewal. The vehicle management office will process the renewal within one working day after approval. Regulations on the expiration of driver's licenses: If the license has expired for less than one year, it can be renewed normally; if it has expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be canceled, but you can renew it by passing the subject one test; if it has expired for more than three years, the license will be invalid and cannot be renewed.

What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the ES200?

The Lexus ES200's 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 10.9 seconds. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. The ES is a mid-to-large luxury sedan under the Lexus brand, and this model comes with two engine options, the other being a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine in the ES200 delivers 173 horsepower and a maximum torque of 208 Nm. This engine can output its maximum torque starting from 4,400 rpm, which is sustained up to 5,200 rpm. The engine reaches its maximum power output at 6,600 rpm. It features hybrid injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a CVT transmission. The 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine produces 207 horsepower and a maximum torque of 243 Nm. The maximum torque range for this engine is between 4,000 and 5,000 rpm, while the maximum power is achieved at 6,600 rpm. This engine also utilizes hybrid injection technology and an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission (8AT).

When is the best time to turn on ECO mode?

In urban congested traffic conditions, turning on ECO mode works best. In such scenarios, strong power output is not required, and the frequent stop-and-go driving leads to higher fuel consumption. Activating ECO mode not only reduces fuel consumption but also enhances driving comfort. There are a few situations where ECO mode is unnecessary: When driving at high speeds (up to 100km/h), even if ECO is turned on, the vehicle's computer will prioritize speed, causing the ECO mode to automatically deactivate. When high torque output is needed, such as when climbing hills, the engine control unit will prioritize ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the ECO mode will automatically deactivate. Modes: Generally, ECO driving modes can be divided into two types: passive ECO driving mode and active ECO driving mode. The passive ECO driving mode primarily serves as a reminder and guidance function. The active ECO driving mode usually has a dedicated button; once activated, a series of driving-related settings will change. For example, the throttle opening corresponding to the same accelerator pedal depth becomes smaller (making the pedal less responsive), the transmission shift logic prioritizes fuel economy (shifting up earlier), and some vehicles may also adjust the air conditioning output power accordingly.

Will Maintenance Outside 4S Stores Affect Warranty?

Maintenance performed outside 4S stores will not affect the warranty. Below are the relevant details: 1. Automobile Three Guarantees Law: According to the Automobile Three Guarantees Law, new vehicles generally come with a warranty period of 3 years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. It stipulates that car owners can freely choose where to have their vehicles maintained, as long as the maintenance is conducted at qualified repair facilities and maintenance receipts are retained. In case of any issues with the vehicle, the warranty can be claimed by presenting these receipts. Whether maintenance is done at a 4S store or not, the warranty remains valid, but it is essential to choose a qualified auto repair shop and keep the maintenance receipts. 2. Three Guarantees Liability: On October 1, 2013, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine issued the automobile 'Three Guarantees' policy, which states: 'During the warranty period and the validity period of the Three Guarantees for household automobile products, if damage is caused by the consumer's failure to use, maintain, or repair the product correctly as required by the user manual, the operator may not be held liable for the Three Guarantees as stipulated in this regulation.'

How to Deal with Poor Sound Insulation in the Vezel?

Vezel's poor sound insulation is generally addressed by undertaking a full vehicle sound insulation project. Below is an introduction on how to resolve the Vezel's poor sound insulation: Soundproofing Sealing Strips: If the car's sound insulation system is relatively outdated, you can opt for a comprehensive upgrade of the sound insulation level. Soundproofing sealing strips are a useful device for insulation. If used effectively, they can significantly reduce sound leakage. If the sealing strips can tightly wrap around the car doors, it can immediately reduce noise. Loud Engine Noise: For loud engine noise, check if the engine hood is equipped with sound insulation cotton. If not, you can purchase and install one yourself. If the original equipment is present, you can buy a better and thicker one. Another method is to add some soundproofing strips in the gaps between the engine hood and the car body to block noise. Tire Noise: For tire noise, if the road noise is loud, you can switch to quiet tires with good noise reduction effects. If the tires are too expensive, adding sound insulation cotton to the inner fender liners can also yield good results.

Can a Haval car with 1.0 tire pressure still drive?

Haval car with 1.0 tire pressure cannot drive, because the tire pressure is too low and needs to be inflated immediately. The hazards of low tire pressure are as follows: The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance; it will cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; it will accelerate partial wear of the central tread pattern, shortening the tire lifespan; the vehicle's vibration will increase, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; it will cause excessive extension and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body and increasing the load on the car during driving; puncture resistance will decrease. When encountering sharp objects such as nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks and blowouts, leading to a tire burst. Precautions for tire inflation are as follows: Always use a pressure gauge to check the pressure to avoid over-inflation and tire bursts. After stopping the vehicle, wait for the tires to cool down before inflating, as tire temperature rises during driving, affecting the pressure. Check the valve. If the valve and valve core are not properly aligned, have protrusions, depressions, or other defects, it will be inconvenient to inflate and measure the pressure.
