If there are cameras, the vehicle will be photographed regardless of whether it is running a red light while turning left or going straight, both of which are illegal acts. According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," vehicles should follow traffic signals, including traffic lights, traffic signs, road markings, and the directions of traffic police. If both the left-turn light and the straight-through light are green, going straight from the left-turn lane does not comply with the designated lane regulations. When the left-turn lane has a red light, running the red light should be penalized. Based on the following points, you can avoid running a red light: First look at the arrow light, then the circular light: Currently, there are two types of indicator lights: arrow traffic lights and circular traffic lights. When arrow lights are present, 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, if the right-turn arrow is red, you cannot turn right, otherwise, it will be penalized as running a red light. Brake in time: When the red light turns on, do not let the front of the vehicle cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will definitely capture it, and it will be penalized as running a red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the light turns red, do not proceed through the intersection; wait for the green light before continuing. 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 the vehicle is close to the intersection with high speed, you can proceed to avoid running a red light due to untimely braking. If the speed is slow and the vehicle is far from the intersection, brake immediately to 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 regarding motor vehicle signal lights and non-motor vehicle signal lights: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, 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 proceed. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. 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 proceed if they do not hinder the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not illegal under the following circumstances: Yielding to special vehicles: Yielding to special vehicles such as ambulances or fire trucks. If captured by surveillance cameras while yielding, manual review will not record the act of running a red light. 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. Photos of the violation may be blurry, and mistakenly running a red light will not be penalized by traffic police. Emergency situations: When rushing a critically ill patient to the hospital, many red lights may be run, and 12 penalty points may 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 traffic accidents caused by running red lights. Traffic police direction: During rush hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at important intersections. Drivers should follow the gestures of the traffic police. The traffic police department stated that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," when the yellow light flashes at an intersection, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. If the yellow light is already on and the vehicle continues to rush through, it will be considered running a red light if captured.

How to Deal with a Stuck Manual Transmission Gear?

Manual transmission gears getting stuck is largely due to improper driving habits, such as pressing the clutch before releasing the accelerator, which causes the engine to stop supplying fuel while the clutch remains engaged, leading to engine braking. This phenomenon is less noticeable in higher gears but can cause strong jerking or even stalling in lower gears. During gear shifting, due to the synchronizer's function, the meshing gears will not engage until the rotational speeds are synchronized. However, improper operation, such as mismatching the gear with the speed, can easily result in the gear getting stuck after engagement. Upshifting technique: When the engine speed and vehicle speed are suitable for upshifting, first release the accelerator pedal, then press the clutch pedal, shift the gear lever to the next higher gear (skipping gears is not recommended), release the clutch pedal to engage the power, and finally gently press the accelerator pedal to maintain stable driving.

Can engine oils of the same brand but different grades be mixed?

Mixing small amounts of engine oils of the same brand but different grades is generally safe. However, mixing large quantities cannot be guaranteed. Below is additional information: Mixing engine oils of the same brand but different grades: Since the oils are from the same brand, compatibility is usually ensured, whether it's the base oil or additives. However, the performance after mixing is uncertain, and the characteristics of both grades may not be fully realized. Mixing engine oils of different brands but the same grade: For oils of different brands but the same grade, the base oils may differ, and the additives are likely to be different. In such cases, the probability of issues is relatively higher. Additives from different manufacturers vary; for example, most engine oils use sulfonates as dispersant detergents, while some use salicylates. These two substances are incompatible and may cause separation or cloudiness when mixed, affecting performance.
