If there are cameras, they will capture the violation, but areas without cameras will not record it. Whether a vehicle runs a red light while turning left or going straight, it is considered illegal. According to Article 89 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, vehicles that do not follow traffic signals, including traffic lights, signs, markings, or the instructions of traffic police, will be fined 200 yuan and receive 6 penalty points. If both the left-turn and straight signals are green, driving straight from a left-turn lane is a violation of lane regulations. When the left-turn signal is red, running the red light will be penalized. The definition of running a red light while turning left: Running a red light is determined by the vehicle's position relative to the stop line. If the vehicle crosses the line when the light is red, it is illegal. The camera primarily records the vehicle's movement during the red light, focusing on significant positional changes. If the front wheels of the vehicle just cross the stop line and immediately stop when the light turns red, traffic police will not impose a penalty. However, if the vehicle continues to move completely after crossing the line, it is considered illegal and will be penalized. This means that if the vehicle crosses (presses) the line during a red light and continues to move, fully crossing the line and entering the intersection during the red light, it will be penalized. Here are some ways to avoid running a red light: First, observe the arrow signal, then the circular signal: Currently, there are two types of traffic signals: arrow signals and circular signals. When arrow signals are present, drivers should first look at the arrow signal and then the circular signal to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, right turns are allowed. However, if the right-turn arrow signal is red, right turns are prohibited, and violations will be penalized as running a red light. Brake in time: When the light turns red, ensure the front of the vehicle does not cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross the line and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will capture the violation, 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, the vehicle must not proceed further and should wait for the green light. Check the green light countdown before proceeding: When the green light flashes, if there is a countdown, drivers can judge accordingly. If there is no countdown, and the vehicle is close to the intersection with high speed, it may proceed to avoid running a red light due to delayed braking. If the speed is low and the vehicle is far from the intersection, it should brake immediately to avoid running a red light. Article 38 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China states: When the green light is on, vehicles are allowed to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving 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-motorized vehicle or pedestrian signals, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle signals. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians.

If parts are replaced without resetting the light, while it won't affect vehicle performance, it may cause inconvenience during future part replacements by obscuring the accurate usage time of new components.

What Are the Wiring Techniques for Car Tweeters?

Car tweeter wiring techniques start with locating the power source section, followed by connecting the speaker wire set. Below is a detailed introduction to the car audio system: 1. Audio Source Cars provide Bluetooth, WIFI, and AUX interfaces as connection methods for audio sources such as phones or players. Among these, the AUX interface offers higher quality or lossless connections, so it is recommended to use the AUX interface when playing music. 2. Speakers A car's speakers include tweeters and woofers, and the quality and effect of the sound depend on the number and level of the speakers. Lower-end cars may have only two speakers, while high-end cars can feature over a dozen speakers for surround sound. There are various brands of speakers, with premium options including Burmester and Harman Kardon. 3. Amplifier Different tones have different frequencies. The role of the amplifier is to restore these tone frequencies, and the more powerful the amplifier, the wider the range of frequencies it can restore. Therefore, the quality of music playback is partly determined by the amplifier.

In terms of nature: A shoulder refers to the strip-like part located from the outer edge of the carriageway to the edge of the roadbed, with a certain width (including the hard shoulder and protective shoulder). An emergency lane refers to the part of the road adjacent to the left lane, including the hard shoulder, with a width of more than 3 meters and an effective length greater than or equal to 30 meters, which can meet the needs of motor vehicle parking. 2. In terms of function: The shoulder is used to maintain the function of the carriageway and for temporary parking, as well as serving as a lateral support for the road surface. The emergency lane allows vehicles to drive or park on it in emergency situations. 3. In terms of location: Shoulders are found on highways, first-class roads, and urban roads. Emergency lanes are found on highways and urban ring roads.
