3. Car arbitrarily when stuck queue, do not call or hear great music. Notice the car back or front (depending on road conditions) do not let passed and hit you. Instead, make sure your vehicle in a locked position (pull the hand brake.)

4. Dirty driver At the intersection, you want to turn right. Apparently, in front of any vehicle should turn, remained silent on the point because the wait for green light beacon light and it turns out he drove straight.

5. Located at the intersection point petty tyrant who can turn left and right, while you are streaking across the middle for a straight path. Attention vehicles from both sides of the outside lane suddenly because of stuck vehicles in front that does not turn but straight.

6. Criss-cross beacon lights when the red lights, sometimes there are one or two cars like break through. There is a good idea, before stopping, look behind the pace vehicle.

7. Like any new driver who just can not drive into the dense road traffic. More troublesome, he raced 20 km per hour on a path of 60 km per hour zone before the light beacon. More woe again, you try cut in a line signs near lamp that will light up red.

8.Police traffic Traffic In the big city with a dense, police Traffic flow regulator is a must. Must be in place or standing in a clear position while waiting for those who violate the rules.

9. Very dangerous street racer, young man speeding to his satisfaction, but to use cheaper vehicles. Worse yet, old vehicles and old enough and if met with them, quickly slip and leave.

Chinese citizens struggle Buy a New Car

BEIJING - On 26 January, residents of Beijing, China, scrambling to buy a new car. The reason, local government provides only 20 000 police number from 240,000 to quota year. This restriction is in accordance with the policy of local governments that as of 1 January, limiting the purchase of new cars as a step to overcome the increasingly severe traffic congestion due to growth in the number of cars not comparable with the construction of new roads.

For consumers who want to buy a new car, will be done through a lottery. Remarkably, until now reportedly number of lottery enthusiasts already exceeds 100,000 people.

With this policy, the scale of consumers who may have a car one in five (1:5) aka 20 percent. However, consumers who specialized old car accident (can not be used), can buy a new vehicle using the old police numbers.

In addition to cutting the sale, the Beijing government still had other tricks to reduce congestion. The government also would prohibit the operation of cars that come from outside the area at rush hour.

China's automotive industry players argue, Beijing's efforts will not have much impact on reducing congestion. However, slowing sales that occurred this year are expected to make the government better prepare infrastructure, including improving the quality of mass transportation.

A little flash back, since 2009 China became the largest automotive market in the world beyond the United States. These records go back to survive in the past year, one of them driven by big sales in the national capital Beijing.

Car owners would not want to burn the vehicle engulfed in flames. Accident, not just overwrite the old old car, but luxury car can be happened. So, what causes sparks everywhere and it come from?

These are the sources of fire that warrant concern and scrutiny.

1. Exhaust leak. 

Steam heat is transferred to the fuel line hose is gradually broken and dripping gasoline.

2. Materials.  

Cloth, paper or cardboard material in the exhaust manifold or exhaust on fire and grabbed the other parts of flammable because of heat.

3. Leakage.  

Usually at petrol hose clamp binder is less good because, resulting in gasoline leak in the engine room and can be ignited when the engine in the engine-starter or when already hot.

4. Power steering hose. 

With high pressure oil and suffered damaged to make the oil spread into the exhaust manifold. Generally, the car suffered a power steering hose near the exhaust manifold. This will not happen if the tube is checked when the service involved.

5. Additions or optional on the fuel hoses. 

Usually, clamp not strong, as a result of gasoline leaks in space station and caught fire because the heat effect.

6. Solder.  

Note on a cable connection is less strong belongs alarms can be triggered by fire because of electrical short circuit.

7. Power cord.  

Because the crushed and peeled and touched the body that cause electrical short circuit.

8. Cable accumulate.  

Usually on the battery, regardless because of a shock. When touching the negative cable at battery or body, there was electrical short circuit.

9. Cable connection.  

Because less potent cause wires shorted wire between positive and negative. Coupled with a fuse that is too large, so that the wires become hot and smoke arising.

10. The biggest possibility is the O ring on the injector.  

If the signs are wet, carefully mean O ring is brittle making fuel out of the injector and if left unchecked and exposed to a heat engine, feeding the fire will arise.

Obsolete: Spark plugs worn with a little pile like a crust on the electrode. Spark Plug has been condemned and need to replace new.

Reddish: electrode layer peeling with reddish color, but no crust. Machines have overheat, check the heat range code and engine cooling devices.

Coral: There are a heap of charred crust and colored electrodes. That is, setting the fuel is not true. check the supply of gasoline and other electrical devices.

Melt: The electrode melts and looks burnt, due to the spark plug with incorrect heat range. A leak in the engine component that causes the lubricant also burned in the engine room.

Thick crust: a thick crust piled up on the spark plug electrodes and the head caused by poor fuel consumption. A leak in the seals on the valve that makes lubricant seeping down to the spark plugs.

Wet: There is a residual lubricant on the electrodes and the head of the spark plugs, experiencing engine detonation. Check the ignition timing or use the appropriate fuel specification denngan machine.

Crooked: Electrodes attached to the head caused by the piston hit the spark plugs. Check the engine's internal components.

For some brands of cars, the position of these components exist in the glove compartment. If a drawer full of with books or objects and then sucked lightly, immediately making a sound.

Freon This condition is often less because there is a leak in the hose or evaporator, so that freon wasted. Generally Freon reduced after the use of over 2 years. You should drain and recharge freon . Instead, do check and clean the compressor every 2000-5000 km.
