Traffic regulations stipulate that vehicles should keep to the right. Overtaking from the right side can easily lead to collisions with adjacent vehicles. Additionally, the driver's seat is positioned on the left, providing a broader field of vision, making left-side overtaking safer. Moreover, left-side overtaking aligns with common driving habits. Below are additional details: 1. Reasons why right-side overtaking is dangerous: Primarily due to blind spots in left-hand drive vehicles. For left-hand drive cars, the blind spot on the right side of the driver is larger, significantly limiting visibility. Drivers may easily overlook vehicles in this position. If the vehicle being overtaken fails to promptly notice the violating vehicle on the right and changes lanes to the right, it can result in a collision with the "right-side overtaking" vehicle. Right-side overtaking is explicitly prohibited by traffic laws. In the event of a traffic accident, traffic police will investigate whether "right-side overtaking" occurred. If confirmed, corresponding penalties will be imposed. 2. Overtaking precautions: (1) Stay alert. Before overtaking, always observe the condition of the intended lane and the driving status of the vehicle ahead of the one you plan to overtake. (2) Downshift to accelerate. To enhance throttle response and increase torque for quicker acceleration. For automatic transmission models, quickly press the accelerator pedal to the floor. For manual transmissions, first downshift, then rapidly press the accelerator to accelerate. (3) Be flexible. Avoid consecutive lane changes during overtaking. After completing a lane change, accelerate in a straight line, observe the rear to ensure safety, and then return to the original lane. (4) Proceed with caution when encountering stationary vehicles. When overtaking a stationary vehicle ahead, especially on narrow roads, do so slowly and be prepared to stop at any time to prevent sudden door openings by the stationary vehicle, which could lead to collisions.

What Causes the Noise Under the Steering Wheel When Driving on Rough Roads?

Here are the specific reasons for the noise under the steering wheel when driving on rough roads: 1. Check the car's shock absorbers. It is best to go to a 4S shop or repair shop and use a lift to raise the vehicle to inspect whether there are gaps in the shock absorbers or faults in the suspension. If the shock absorber is leaking oil, it may be due to a faulty oil seal gasket, and the shock absorber needs to be replaced. Generally, the service life of a shock absorber is 80,000-100,000 kilometers. When the car reaches 80,000 kilometers, the technician should be asked to check the condition of the shock absorbers during regular maintenance, and repair any faults promptly. 2. Excessive clearance in the steering tie rod ball joint may also cause noise when turning. In severe cases, it may lead to steering wheel shaking or uneven tire wear. The ball joint should be replaced at a 4S shop or repair shop as soon as possible. 3. Excessive clearance or looseness in the lower control arm. The lower control arm is an important component that maintains the elasticity of the car body and is part of the car's suspension. It connects the axle and the frame, helping to absorb the impact of rough roads on the car. Once the lower control arm fails, it should be replaced promptly at a 4S shop or repair shop.

What to Do When the Anti-Theft System Locks and the Engine Won't Start?

Methods to unlock the anti-theft system when the engine won't start: 1. Turn on the vehicle's power three times in succession, then turn it off. 2. Disconnect the vehicle's battery for 15 seconds. 3. Wait until the engine warning light appears on the dashboard, do nothing, and wait for a while before attempting to start the engine. Here is some additional information about the anti-theft system: 1. The car's anti-theft system consists of an electronic controller, key control, and actuators, designed to prevent theft of car items. 2. While the car is in motion, it can prevent doors from opening unexpectedly. Most car models are equipped with central locking, which allows centralized control of the car's door locks and trunk lock, better achieving the purpose of car theft prevention. 3. With the continuous development of the automotive industry, the anti-theft system has been continuously upgraded. Currently, the car's anti-theft system can increase the difficulty of car theft, prolong the time required for theft, and achieve the purpose of car theft prevention.

What are the penalties for making phone calls while driving?

Drivers making phone calls while driving will be penalized with 2 demerit points and a fine. The "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" clearly stipulate that driving a motor vehicle must not involve behaviors that hinder safe driving, such as making or answering handheld phone calls or watching television. There are three major hazards of making or answering phone calls while driving: First, it distracts the driver's attention. The reaction time of the brain when making or answering phone calls is 30% slower than when driving under the influence of alcohol. The reaction speed of young drivers is only equivalent to that of a 70-year-old driver, significantly weakening the driver's ability to respond to emergencies. Second, making phone calls while driving increases the risk of traffic accidents by four times compared to normal conditions, and over 30% of fatal traffic accidents are caused by the driver's lack of concentration. Third, making or answering phone calls while driving also affects the traffic efficiency of other vehicles, exacerbating road congestion. Correct ways to handle phone calls while driving: Use a Bluetooth headset. Answering calls via Bluetooth allows hands to remain on the steering wheel, enhancing driving safety. Seek assistance from passengers in the car to handle urgent messages or calls. If necessary, passengers can be delegated to handle relevant information, which will not affect the safety of the driver.

What Causes the Clunking Noise in the Chassis When Accelerating or Decelerating?

When accelerating or decelerating, the clunking noise in the chassis can be caused by the following reasons: Suspension System: The noise heard when starting the vehicle is usually due to a fault in the suspension system, which may be caused by loose or damaged engine mounts. Steering and Suspension Systems: The noise heard when turning the vehicle may be due to faults in the steering and suspension systems, as the vehicle tilts during turning, causing the suspension system to deform and participate in the movement. Braking System Components: The noise heard when driving on good road conditions may be due to faults in the braking system components, such as loose or worn parts, out-of-round brake drums, or uneven brake discs. Bearing System: It could also be an issue with the bearings that connect moving and stationary parts of the vehicle. If it's a bearing problem, the driver can identify it by applying slight brakes. If the noise remains unchanged when braking at a constant speed, then the issue is with the bearings.

What Are the Reasons Why a Car Key Cannot Open the Door?

Reasons why a car key cannot open the door are as follows: 1. The remote key may not open the door due to a dead battery: Remote keys use button batteries, which may not be available at convenience stores. If there are auto parts stores or 4S shops nearby, they will definitely sell them. Owners can usually buy more online for emergency use. 2. The remote key is being interfered with by signals: Signal interference with the key is relatively rare. If the key battery is confirmed to have power, signal interference can be considered. 3. Fault in the connection device between the door handle and the door lock itself: This type of fault causing the door to not open is a malfunction, and the possibility of the owner fixing it themselves is very small. The door connection mechanism may have come loose due to driving vibrations, preventing the door lock from sensing the action of pulling the door handle. 4. The door is frozen and cannot be opened in winter: If the door lock, door handle, or door frame is frozen in winter, the key will definitely not open the door. Note: If the door is frozen, do not pull it forcefully, as this can easily damage the door.

Why should you not attempt a second ignition if water enters the engine?

To prevent water from entering the engine and causing serious consequences. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. The engine will inevitably stall after water enters: Since the water entering the cylinders lacks lubricating properties, blindly attempting to restart the engine after stalling may lead to severe damage or complete failure due to cylinder scuffing. 2. Check the condition of all vehicle system fluids: This is to prevent issues such as foaming or cloudiness after water ingress, which can cause oil deterioration and loss of lubrication. Additionally, water may carry sand particles that could lead to excessive engine wear. In such cases, immediate cleaning and replacement are necessary. After inspection, it's essential to clean the electrical connection components inside the engine compartment to prevent corrosion and sand residue caused by accumulated moisture in these areas.
