Overtaking on slushy roads during heavy snow is highly dangerous. The reasons are as follows: 1. Reduced traction due to slippery road surfaces: Vehicles are prone to skidding or spinning out, potentially causing collisions or safety incidents. 2. Complex road conditions: Sunlight reflection makes it difficult for drivers to anticipate and control the vehicle, increasing safety risks. In flat areas, drainage ditches on both sides of the road may be completely covered by snow, making them indistinguishable. Blind overtaking could lead to sliding into or overturning in these ditches with severe consequences. 3. Even after driving for an extended period, drivers may only have limited adaptation to the road conditions. Key precautions when overtaking: 1. Avoid forced overtaking: Do not attempt to overtake when the vehicle ahead hasn't yielded speed or space for any reason; 2. Never force your way in: When there's insufficient safe distance ahead of the vehicle in front, do not squeeze in or force the overtaken vehicle to yield.

What is Straight-Line Driving in Subject Three?

Straight-line driving in Subject Three, as the name suggests, means keeping the vehicle moving in a straight line. According to the "Motor Vehicle Driver Examination Content and Methods," the assessment requirements include reasonably controlling the vehicle speed based on road conditions, correctly using gears, maintaining straight-line driving, keeping an appropriate following distance, timely observing the interior and exterior rearview mirrors during driving, and ensuring the line of sight does not deviate from the driving direction for more than 2 seconds. The scoring criteria for straight-line driving in Subject Three are as follows: 1. Unstable direction control: Failure to maintain straight-line driving results in disqualification. 2. Failure to promptly reduce speed when the vehicle ahead brakes: Disqualification. 3. Not timely observing the rear traffic conditions through interior and exterior rearview mirrors: Deduct 10 points. 4. Failure to promptly detect road obstacles or not taking timely deceleration measures upon detecting obstacles: Deduct 10 points.

What causes a car horn to keep sounding continuously?

The reason a car horn keeps sounding continuously may be due to the power wire of the horn being constantly energized. This constant power supply could be caused by the horn button on the steering wheel being stuck in the engaged position or the relay contacts failing to disconnect properly and remaining closed. Below is an analysis of potential reasons why a car horn may not stop sounding: 1. Contact Point Erosion: Prolonged pressing of the horn can cause the contacts to erode, creating resistance. This reduces the current flow through the electromagnetic coil, diminishing the electromagnetic force and preventing it from attracting the armature to drive the diaphragm's normal vibration, resulting in a hoarse sound or no sound at all. 2. Poor Sealing Leading to Moisture: Although the interior of the horn is supposed to be sealed, if the sealing is not tight, moisture can enter during car washing or water vapor can accumulate inside. This moisture can cause the contacts to become damp and malfunction, leading to poor connection at the electromagnetic coil terminals and resulting in no sound.

What are the differences between the travel restrictions for Zhejiang A regional license plates and Zhejiang D license plates?

The difference between out-of-town license plates and regional license plates: During the morning and evening rush hours, out-of-town license plates are not allowed to enter within the Hangzhou Ring Expressway, while regional license plates can enter. Here is additional information: 1. Difference: The main difference between "Zhejiang A regional license plates" and "regular Zhejiang A plates" lies in the restricted areas, aimed at facilitating public travel and encouraging staggered commuting. According to the "Hangzhou Small Passenger Vehicle 'Regional Indicators' and 'Zhejiang A Regional License Plates' Management Measures," the two types of plates differ in appearance. Regional license plates have specific number segments, where the 2nd and 5th or 3rd and 4th digits after "Zhe A" are letters, and the rest are numbers for regional plates. The biggest difference between the two lies in the scope of staggered commuting. 2. "Zhejiang A regional license plates": Refers to the special license plates for small passenger vehicles registered using "regional indicators." Currently, the combination of the plate numbers is such that the 2nd and 5th or 3rd and 4th digits after "Zhe A" are letters, and the rest are numbers, for example: "Zhe A-5B55B" or "Zhe A-55BB5." In terms of the registration procedures for "Zhejiang A regional license plates," apart from the different category of indicators used, the other processes and required materials are the same as the original requirements.

What Are the Reasons for Difficulty in Shifting Gears?

The reasons for difficulty in shifting gears include: wear of internal transmission gears, damaged synchronizer, malfunctioning shift mechanism, failure of the three components in the clutch system, worn release bearing, damaged pressure plate, etc. The following are the functions of gear shifting: 1. Function one: It is used to change the torque and speed of the engine crankshaft to meet the different needs of the driving wheels for traction and speed under various driving conditions such as starting, accelerating, driving, and overcoming road obstacles, enabling the car to drive at a very low and stable speed, which is difficult to achieve solely by the minimum stable speed of the internal combustion engine. 2. Function two: The reverse gear of the transmission allows the car to move backward, and its neutral gear enables the car to separate the engine from the transmission system for a long time when starting the engine, parking, or coasting.
