Car fire extinguishers will not explode when kept in a vehicle. Here are the relevant details: 1. Types of fire extinguishers: There are several main types of car fire extinguishers on the market, including dry powder extinguishers, ultra-fine dry powder extinguishers, carbon dioxide extinguishers, and water-based extinguishers. However, dry powder extinguishers are the most commonly used. These contain dry powder along with carbon dioxide and nitrogen, making them stable and safe regardless of whether they are placed horizontally or vertically. 2. Expiration date: Fire extinguishers produced by reputable manufacturers are safe to keep in a car and are not prone to explosion. However, they should be kept away from high temperatures or direct sunlight to avoid potential hazards. Car owners should also pay attention to the expiration date of the extinguisher and stop using it once it expires.

How is running a red light determined?

It is determined by capturing three photos with electronic cameras. The first photo shows the vehicle crossing the stop line at the intersection, including the red traffic light and the license plate number. The second photo shows the vehicle completely crossing the stop line, including the red traffic light and the license plate number. The third photo shows the vehicle continuing to move, mainly by comparing the change in the vehicle's position from the second photo, including the red traffic light and the license plate number. Capturing these three photos confirms that the vehicle has run a red light. Running a red light is clearly defined in the "Road Traffic Safety Law." Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to pass, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage, and if a vehicle passes through an intersection during a red light, it constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. Six scenarios of running a red light: Stopping immediately after crossing the line at a red light (when the red light is on, the vehicle fails to brake in time, and the front of the vehicle crosses the stop line): If the vehicle only just crosses the stop line during a red light but stops immediately, this act of running a red light will not be penalized. However, if there is obvious movement after crossing the line, it will be penalized. The three photos captured by electronic cameras for running a red light are: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are available will it be confirmed as running a red light. According to Article 10 of the "Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Violations," this offense incurs a penalty of 6 points. Running a red light under the direction of a traffic officer (when the signal is red, but the traffic officer signals permission to pass): When there is a conflict between the traffic signal and the traffic officer's gesture, the driver must obey the officer's on-site command. If a driver runs a red light due to the officer's direction, they can obtain a diversion certificate from the local traffic police station to avoid penalties. If the party disagrees with the penalty, they can appeal through administrative reconsideration or administrative litigation. Stopping after the entire vehicle crosses the line at a red light (failing to brake in time, causing the entire vehicle to cross the stop line): If the vehicle stops after completely crossing the stop line and does not continue moving, this does not count as running a red light. Reversing after crossing the line (attempting to avoid penalties by reversing after crossing the line at a red light): Vehicles are not allowed to reverse at railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, bridges, sharp turns, steep slopes, or tunnels. Violators may receive a warning or a fine. Accidentally running a red light behind a large vehicle (due to the large vehicle blocking the view, following it through the intersection): Drivers must maintain sufficient visibility to see the traffic signals ahead and ensure a safe braking distance. Generally, if a vehicle is photographed following a large vehicle through an intersection, it is considered running a red light due to rushing through the signal. This behavior will be penalized as running a red light. Passing through an intersection during a yellow light (when the signal turns yellow while passing through the intersection): Traffic authorities state that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light is flashing may continue to pass. If the yellow light is already on and the driver continues to rush through, this will be considered running a red light if photographed.

How to Determine if a Vehicle Runs a Red Light?

It is determined by capturing three photos through electronic cameras. The principle of electronic eyes capturing red-light running is as follows: when the red light is on When your vehicle's front wheels cross the stop line on the ground, the electronic camera takes the first photo of your vehicle. When your vehicle's rear wheels cross the stop line on the ground, the electronic camera takes the second photo of your vehicle. When your vehicle passes through the intersection and crosses the stop line on the opposite side, the electronic camera takes the third photo of your vehicle. Finally, the system (or manually) selects the clearest photo to enlarge and obtain a close-up of the license plate, solidifying the evidence. The act of running a red light is clearly stipulated in the "Road Traffic Safety Law." Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to pass, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage. If a vehicle passes through an intersection when the red light is on, it constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. The following points can help avoid running a red light: First look at the arrow light, then the circular light: There are currently two types of indicator lights: arrow traffic lights and circular indicator traffic lights. In the presence of an arrow light, first observe the arrow light and then the circular light to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, you can turn right; when encountering an arrow signal light where the right-turn arrow is red, you cannot turn right, otherwise, you will be penalized for running a red light. Brake in time: When the red light is on, do not let the front of your vehicle cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will capture it, and you will be penalized for running a red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the signal turns red, do not proceed through the intersection; wait for the green light before proceeding. Check the green light countdown before proceeding: When the green light is flashing, if there is a countdown, you can judge based on the remaining time; if there is no countdown and you are close to the intersection with high speed, you may proceed to avoid running a red light due to untimely braking. If your speed is low and you are far from the intersection, brake immediately to stop and avoid running a red light. Article 38 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states the following regarding motor vehicle signal lights and non-motor vehicle signal lights: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to pass, but turning vehicles must not hinder the passage of straight-going vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from passing. At intersections without non-motor vehicle signal lights or pedestrian crossing signal lights, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle signal lights. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may pass if they do not hinder the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not considered illegal under the following circumstances: Yielding to special vehicles: Yielding to special vehicles such as ambulances or fire trucks. If you are captured by surveillance cameras while yielding to special vehicles, the act of running a red light will not be recorded during manual review. Even if recorded, you can apply for reconsideration at the traffic police department. Extreme weather: When visibility is very low, and even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights. The photos capturing the violation may be blurry, and if you accidentally run a red light, the traffic police will not impose penalties. Emergency situations: When transporting a critically ill patient to the hospital, you will inevitably run many red lights, and 12 points will not be enough. After delivering the patient, the citizen can provide proof from the hospital or the rescued person to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation record can be cleared. If possible, it is best to call an ambulance to avoid accidents caused by running red lights. Traffic police command: During peak hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at important intersections. Drivers should follow the gestures of the traffic police.

What is the maximum wading depth of the BYD Tang?

According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the BYD Tang is 300mm. It commonly features tire specifications of 245/45R20, a body height of 1720mm, a curb weight of 1895kg, and is a 5-door, 7-seat SUV. The maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water a vehicle can safely pass through. Generally, the maximum wading depth for sedans does not exceed 300mm, while SUVs can handle slightly deeper water, though it's best not to exceed 500mm. Among common models, the GAC Trumpchi GS8 has a maximum wading depth of 700mm, the Audi A4 has 320mm, the Volkswagen Sagitar has 700mm, the Land Rover Range Rover has 900mm, the Jeep Compass has 800mm, and the Highlander has 455mm. SUVs generally have higher wading depths than sedans. Generally, when driving through water, vehicle owners should take different measures depending on the water depth and the vehicle's characteristics, as follows: When the wading depth reaches the height of the exhaust pipe, it is still safe. Even if water enters the exhaust pipe, the pressure inside can expel it. As long as the engine is not turned off in the water, water will not flow back into the vehicle. When the wading depth reaches the height of the door frame, it becomes more dangerous. The vehicle's circuits, electronic components, and sensors are mostly concentrated at the bottom, which could lead to short circuits, damaging critical electrical components and preventing the car from starting normally. When the wading depth reaches the height of the intake pipe, it is extremely dangerous. Driving directly into such conditions can cause the vehicle to stall immediately, resulting in permanent engine damage or rendering it unusable.

How Does Insurance Cover Water Damage for New Cars?

Insurance claims for water-damaged vehicles include: vehicle towing fees; repair costs for body components damaged by water immersion; repair costs for engine water ingress. Important Notes: 1. Filing a Claim: Once the vehicle is submerged in water, the owner must immediately call the insurance company to report the incident. 2. Take Photos Promptly: In cases of large-scale vehicle flooding caused by heavy rain, insurance adjusters may not arrive quickly. Owners should photograph the submerged vehicle to document the damage for assessment purposes. 3. Towing Services: Both insurance companies and 4S shops provide towing services. However, during severe weather when towing services are overwhelmed and delayed, owners should be mentally prepared for potential wait times.

How to Adjust Steering When the Right Side is Too Narrow During Right Reverse Parking

When the right side becomes too narrow during right reverse parking, it is usually due to steering the wheel too early or too late. Below are detailed techniques for reverse parking: 1. Identify the starting point: For right reverse parking, maintain a distance of 1.2-1.8 meters between the car and the left boundary line at the starting position. Ensure the steering wheels are straight and the car body is parallel to the left boundary line. When reversing, use the lower edge of the left rearview mirror as a reference. When the two align, turn the steering wheel fully to the right and continue reversing. 2. Control the corner point: Watch the right rearview mirror. When you spot the corner point of the parking space, observe the changing distance between the corner point and the car body until the car body becomes parallel with the parking line, then straighten the steering wheel by turning it back one and a half full circles. 3. Align the stopping point: The stopping point refers to where you stop after entering the parking space. The method for determining this is the same as identifying the starting point. When the lower edge of the left mirror aligns with the shoulder line of the parking space, stop the car.
