The reason for the occasional malfunction of the rearview mirror folding is the wear of the gears in the folding motor of the side mirror, leading to insufficient engagement. Definition of folding rearview mirror: The rearview mirror folding function refers to the ability of the side mirrors on both sides of the car to fold and retract when necessary, which can be either manual or electric. Purpose of folding rearview mirror: As components installed on the vehicle, they are prone to impact in situations where friction occurs. Working principle of folding rearview mirror: When the folding function is activated, the substrate is rotated onto the central pin axis by the electric folding motor. The raised structure on the upper surface prevents the positioning block from rotating with the electric folding motor. The spring and elastic ring do not rotate with the substrate due to spring compression. The electric folding motor itself does not have a limit stop function; the electric folding is controlled by a limit structure.

Which lane is the first lane on the highway?

If there are 3 lanes in the same direction, the leftmost lane is the overtaking lane for small vehicles, the middle lane is the driving lane for small vehicles and the overtaking lane for large vehicles, and the right lane is the driving lane. The rightmost lane is the emergency lane, which can only be used in case of vehicle malfunction, otherwise fines and penalty points may be imposed. Highways: They are classified as high-grade roads. According to the "Technical Standards for Highway Engineering" issued by the Ministry of Transport of China, highways refer to "roads that can accommodate an average daily traffic volume of more than 25,000 small passenger cars, are exclusively for high-speed divided-lane driving, and have fully controlled access." Although different countries have different names for highways, they all refer to roads with more than 4 lanes, separated two-way traffic, fully controlled access, and all-grade interchanges. On July 21, 2015, after thorough investigation, research, and demonstration of the functions, characteristics, and funding of highways, it was concluded that long-term tolls for highways based on the principle of "user pays" are reasonable.

Is there a fine for driving in the wrong direction?

Driving in the wrong direction will certainly result in a fine. Driving against traffic: According to the 'Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations', driving against traffic on ordinary roads will result in a 3-point deduction; on highways, it's a 6-point deduction. Driving against traffic can be divided into two situations: one is driving in the wrong direction on a one-way street, and the other is driving against traffic at an intersection. Consequences of driving against traffic: Driving against traffic is a relatively serious traffic violation, which not only disrupts road traffic order but also easily leads to traffic accidents. In minor cases, it can cause traffic congestion and reduce road capacity; in severe cases, it can lead to major traffic accidents, even resulting in fatal consequences with vehicles destroyed and lives lost.
