Making a U-turn at a traffic light intersection will result in penalty points. The following situations prohibit U-turns: U-turns are prohibited where there is a "No U-turn" sign or a "No Left Turn" sign: If there is a sign prohibiting U-turns, then U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. The action of making a U-turn is an extension of a left turn, so if there is a sign prohibiting left turns at an intersection, U-turns are also prohibited there. U-turns are prohibited at crosswalks: U-turns are not allowed at crosswalks. If U-turns are permitted at an intersection, you must cross the crosswalk before making the U-turn and cannot perform the U-turn on the crosswalk. U-turns are prohibited when there is no left-turn lane: Even in the leftmost lane, if there is no sign allowing left turns, U-turns are not permitted. U-turns are prohibited within the second left-turn lane: When a vehicle is in the second left-turn lane, it cannot make a U-turn. In the absence of any directional signs, vehicles can only make U-turns from the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns are prohibited at solid yellow lines: U-turns are not allowed at solid yellow lines. Even if there is a sign permitting U-turns, you must wait for the green light and cross the stop line to make the U-turn. U-turns are prohibited on highways: Crossing the central divider to make a U-turn on a highway is illegal and will result in a fine and 12 penalty points. If you miss an exit on the highway, you should continue to the next exit ramp to leave the highway and never attempt an illegal U-turn. Precautions for making U-turns: When making a U-turn, you should activate the left turn signal in advance, the maximum speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, and you must not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians traveling normally.

What to do if the driver's license is overdue for one month without renewal

The remedial measure for a driver's license that has been overdue for one month without renewal is to apply for an extension. If the driver's license is not renewed for more than one year after the expiration of the motor vehicle driver's license, the motor vehicle driver's license will be revoked; the maximum extension period shall not exceed three years. During the extension period, the motor vehicle driver is not allowed to drive a motor vehicle. According to the regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses, if a motor vehicle driver is unable to renew the driver's license within the specified time due to reasons such as military service or going abroad, they can apply for an extension at the vehicle management office of the place where the motor vehicle driver's license was issued. When applying, an application form should be filled out, and the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver, the motor vehicle driver's license, and proof of the reason for the extension should be submitted.

Can the car still be driven if the water temperature reaches 130 degrees?

No. Normally, the temperature of a vehicle's radiator while driving should remain between 80 and 90 degrees. A temperature of 120 degrees is significantly higher than the normal level. Continuing to drive under such conditions may cause the engine block to deform, emit white smoke from the front, and ultimately lead to complete engine failure. Below are detailed relevant information: Introduction: To maintain the engine within a normal temperature range for proper operation, a "water cooling" system is used to cool the engine promptly, which involves adding coolant. Choosing high-quality coolant is a "must-learn lesson" for every car enthusiast, as it helps extend the engine's lifespan and ensures driving safety. Main reasons: Generally, the choice of coolant can be based on the climate of the region where the car is located or according to the recommendations in the car's manual. Under special circumstances, in weather above zero degrees, water can temporarily replace coolant for a short period. However, this should not be done for an extended time, as it may result in poor engine cooling and cause damage.

What is the engine model of the Asian Lion?

The engine model used in the Asian Lion is the M20E, with a maximum horsepower of 171 hp, a maximum power of 126 KW, a maximum power speed of 6600 rpm, and a maximum torque of 205 Nm. The engine of the Asian Lion is manufactured by Tianjin FAW Toyota Engine Co., Ltd., a joint venture established by FAW Group and Toyota Motor Corporation, with production facilities located in Tianjin. For daily maintenance of the Asian Lion's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will deteriorate during use. After a certain mileage, its performance will degrade, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass the filter and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it remains suspended in the oil, but in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

Why does the car horn sound suddenly muffled after wading through water?

Severe water ingress causing horn damage. Below are specific details: Introduction: Generally, if the horn is not severely waterlogged, no extensive treatment is needed, and the water inside the horn will naturally evaporate. Once the moisture inside the horn evaporates, the horn's sound will return to normal. Reason: During rainy seasons, it's common for car horns to get waterlogged. Once water enters the horn, it significantly weakens the horn's warning capability, such as making the sound quieter, hoarse, or even causing it to stop working entirely.

Why is the car battery smoking?

During driving, if the battery smokes and emits a foul odor, the main reasons are likely electrolyte leakage or depletion. Below is relevant information about car batteries: Introduction: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is primarily made of lead and its oxides, with the electrolyte being a sulfuric acid solution. Its working principle involves converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Classification: There are three types: conventional batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries. Conventional batteries have plates composed of lead and lead oxides, with the electrolyte being an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. The main feature of dry-charged batteries is that the negative plate has a high capacity for storing electricity. In a completely dry state, it can retain the stored charge for up to two years. When in use, you only need to add the electrolyte and wait 20-30 minutes before it can be used. Maintenance-free batteries, due to their structural advantages, consume very little electrolyte and generally do not require the addition of distilled water during their service life.
