When a vehicle skids, there is a forward force pushing the rear of the car, while the force at the front is less than that at the rear, causing the vehicle body to skid. The reason for steering in the same direction as the rear wheel skid is: 1. Steering in the opposite direction: If you steer in the opposite direction, the wheel rotation direction differs from the movement direction, creating greater friction and resistance. This can cause the rear of the car to move with more force than the front, leading to a spin. 2. Steering in the same direction: If you steer in the same direction, the wheel rotation aligns with the movement direction, resulting in less friction and ensuring the car does not spin during the skid.

What are the new regulations for motor vehicle annual inspections?

New regulations for motor vehicle annual inspections: 1. Expanded scope of motor vehicle exemption from inspection: On the basis of exempting non-operational mini and micro passenger vehicles with 6 seats or less from inspection within 6 years, non-operational mini and micro passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats (excluding minivans) within 6 years are now included in the exemption scope. For non-operational mini and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) over 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection frequency is adjusted from once a year to once every two years. 2. Relaxed age requirements for small car driving license applications: To better meet the new demands of an aging society, the upper age limit of 70 for applying for small car, small automatic transmission car, and light motorcycle driving licenses has been removed. For individuals aged 70 and above applying for a driving license, additional tests for memory, judgment, and reaction abilities are added to ensure their physical condition meets safe driving requirements. 3. Optimized application conditions for large and medium-sized passenger and cargo vehicle driving licenses: The lower age limit for applying for large bus and tractor driving licenses has been reduced from 26 and 24 to 22, and the upper age limit for applying for large and medium-sized passenger and cargo vehicle driving licenses has been adjusted from 50 to 60. At the same time, the interval for upgrading licenses has been shortened. For those without full-point records in the corresponding scoring cycle, the required time to apply for a large bus driving license after obtaining a large truck driving license has been reduced from at least 5 years to 3 years, and the required time to apply for a tractor and medium-sized bus driving license has been reduced from at least 3 years to 2 years, further meeting the needs of people's production and life and passenger and cargo transport enterprises. 4. Expanded scope of medical institutions for physical examinations: For submitting physical condition certificates required for motor vehicle driving license applications, the scope of medical institutions has been expanded from county-level or military regiment-level medical institutions to secondary-level hospitals, township health centers, community health service centers, and health examination centers with health examination qualifications, adapting to the new situation of China's public health development, improving service coverage in rural and remote areas, and facilitating county and township residents to handle matters nearby. 5. Convenience for disabled families to share vehicles: Individuals holding a small automatic transmission car driving license (C2) or above can drive small automatic transmission passenger cars specially designed for upper limb disabled individuals, facilitating disabled family members and other personnel serving disabled individuals to share vehicles, better safeguarding the rights and interests of disabled individuals. 6. Regulations on car annual inspection time: The car annual inspection time is determined based on the date of new car registration. For example, if the initial registration date on the motor vehicle driving license is June 2015, then the car annual inspection time is every June. At the same time, according to the newly revised Article 40 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," motor vehicle owners can apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office of the registration place within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. That is to say, vehicles due for annual inspection in June can participate in the annual inspection at the testing line in April, May, or June.

What is Car Armor?

Car armor generally refers to the undercarriage armor of a vehicle. Car undercarriage armor involves spraying a high-tech adhesive rubber asphalt coating onto the vehicle's undercarriage, providing protection against impacts, rust, and noise reduction. The benefits of car armor are as follows: 1. Protection against sand and stone impacts: When driving on rough roads, sand and stones on the road surface can be flung up and continuously hit the undercarriage and wheel hubs. The undercarriage armor protects the original anti-rust paint and zinc coating of the undercarriage, preventing exposed metal from coming into contact with moisture and acid rain in the air, which can cause rust, effectively preventing rust from spreading rapidly and corroding the internal components of the vehicle. 2. Enhanced driving safety: A damaged undercarriage can lead to deformation of certain components, especially parts like the upper and lower control arms and tie rods, which are prone to deformation. Minor collisions can also cause slight leaks in components such as the oil pan or transmission pan. These deformations and leaks are not easily detectable but can severely impact driving safety. With undercarriage impact and rust protection, the undercarriage remains undamaged, ensuring safety. 3. Improved driving comfort: The elastic material used in undercarriage impact and rust protection provides a sealed treatment, increasing the stability of the vehicle while driving and significantly reducing noise from the vehicle and the road during travel.

What is the Depreciation Period for Automobiles as Fixed Assets?

Automobiles have a depreciation period of 4 years. The maintenance methods for daily vehicle use are as follows: 1. Regularly inspect brake pads: Brake pads should be checked periodically, with front brake pads inspected at 30,000 kilometers and rear brake pads inspected at around 60,000 kilometers. Replace them promptly if they are significantly worn. 2. Rotate tires: Tires should be cross-rotated at 30,000 kilometers—switching front tires to the rear—to extend their service life. 3. Warm up the engine when starting cold: Allow the engine to idle for about a minute and a half when starting a cold vehicle to give it time to warm up. At startup, the engine's internal temperature will not yet have reached its normal operating temperature—90 degrees on the coolant temperature gauge is normal. The vehicle may shake, the engine may sound louder, and the tachometer may read slightly higher, typically between 600 and 900 RPM. Starting under these conditions can lead to carbon buildup in the engine because combustion is incomplete at low temperatures.

What can be done about black cars getting dirty easily?

Black cars usually attract dust easily. Here are some solutions to keep black cars clean: 1. Use a car cover specifically designed for your vehicle model to block sunlight and dust, keeping the car clean even when not in use. 2. Use a feather duster to remove dust without washing, avoiding frequent water washes that may damage the paint. 3. Purchase car cleaning agents online; spray some during washing and wipe with a cloth for effective cleaning. 4. Park the car in a clean underground garage or other dust-free areas to maintain its condition. 5. Avoid frequent water washes for black cars; instead, use a cleaning agent and dry with a cloth to prevent water stains.

Is There Any Harm If the Trunk Gets Soaked in Water?

There are harms if the trunk gets soaked in water. Below is the relevant introduction about the trunk being soaked in water: 1. The harms of the trunk being soaked in water are: Water accumulation in the trunk can easily lead to rusting, and in severe cases, perforation may occur. The spare tire placement area in the trunk is relatively low, making it prone to water accumulation after getting wet. The trapped moisture can cause the car's interior to become damp and moldy. 2. The solution for a soaked trunk is: There is a rubber drain plug at the bottom of the spare tire compartment in the trunk; removing it will allow drainage. Check if the trunk lid is deformed and whether the surrounding rubber seals are intact. Take out all the items and the trunk liner, then leave the lid open for about an hour to prevent mold and rust.
