Photo dimensions are 2.5cm×3.5cm. The photo size is measured in inches, where 1 inch = 2.54cm. Typically, X-inch refers to the length in inches of the longer side of the photo. Below are the relevant requirements: Photo specifications: All photos must be recent, front-facing, color headshots without hats, with the head occupying 2/3 of the photo dimensions, on a white background without borders. The image should be clear, with rich layers, natural expression, and no obvious distortion. Other materials required for the driver's license test: For local residents: household registration book and valid ID card. For non-local residents: ID card and temporary residence permit. Complete and submit the "Motor Vehicle Driver Physical Condition Certificate."

Having worked as a driving school instructor for many years, I am well aware of the strict and specific requirements for driver's license photos. The dimensions must be standard 2-inch, approximately 35mm wide and 49mm high, with a pure white or light blue background free of any patterns or discoloration. The photo must be a full-face shot, meaning the subject should face the camera directly without a hat, and glasses must be removed unless there's a medical certificate. The expression should be natural, without an overly wide smile, and the mouth should be properly closed. The image must be of high definition, free from blurriness or glare. This is because traffic management authorities use these photos for identity verification, and non-compliance may result in rejection and delays. I recommend going to a professional photo studio and informing them of the purpose—they will handle it according to regulations. Don't skimp on the cost to avoid unnecessary hassle. I recall a student who submitted a selfie wearing sunglasses, which caused delays in the exam and resulted in greater losses. Also, keep in mind that photos must be updated every six months to remain valid, as outdated photos can easily cause trouble.

What to do if the Kia K2 engine is hard to start?

If the Kia K2 engine is hard to start, you should check whether components such as the distributor, spark plugs, and high-voltage wires are damp due to the car being exposed to rain. If they are, you can dry the damp parts before starting the engine again, or use a hairdryer to blow-dry the damp components directly. Secondly, check if the spark plugs are damaged. If they are, simply replace them with new ones. Generally, the service life of car spark plugs is approximately 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. Also, check whether the battery voltage is sufficient. Many batteries have an inspection window designed for monitoring. When it shows green, the battery is functioning normally. If it appears black, it needs to be recharged or maintained. If it shows white, the battery needs to be replaced.

How to Identify the National Emission Standard of a Vehicle on the Vehicle License?

Here are the methods to check the national emission standard on the vehicle license: 1. Check the vehicle's environmental protection label, which has a clear mark on the back; 2. If it is a new vehicle, you can check the vehicle's factory certificate or vehicle conformity certificate; 3. You can log in to the public query platform of the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Network and enter the vehicle's VIN number and the last 6 digits of the engine number to query the vehicle information. Additional information: If the vehicle meets the National V emission standard, the implementation of the National VI standard will not affect its normal operation on the road, as vehicles already sold are subject to the emission standards at the time of sale. Therefore, as long as the National V vehicle is in good condition, it can continue to be driven.

What is the difference between 2 speakers and 4 speakers in a car?

The differences between 2 speakers and 4 speakers in a car are as follows: 1. Different distribution of front door speakers: 2 speakers refer to two mid-bass or coaxial speakers in the front doors, while 4 speakers refer to a pair of two-way speakers in the front doors (two tweeters and two mid-bass speakers). 2. Different overall sound effects: 2 speakers use coaxial designs, whereas 4 speakers use tweeters, delivering deeper and more impactful bass. Car electric horns consist of components such as an iron core, magnetic coil, contacts, armature, and diaphragm, producing sound through the vibration of the metal diaphragm. Current passes through the contacts to the coil, generating magnetic force that pulls the armature, forcing the diaphragm to move. The movement of the armature disconnects the contacts, interrupting the current and causing the magnetic force of the coil to disappear.

What causes severe steering wheel vibration when braking?

Severe steering wheel vibration when braking is caused by excessive clearance between the brake pads and brake discs, meaning the brake discs are uneven. During braking, the brake pads gripping the uneven brake discs will cause the steering wheel to vibrate. It is necessary to have it checked at a repair shop. More information about braking is as follows: 1. The car's brake pedal is located below the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal causes the brake linkage to be pressurized and transmitted to the brake shoes on the brake drum, which then clamp the brake rotor, slowing or stopping the vehicle. 2. Beginners may experience a nodding phenomenon when braking, which is caused by improper use of the brakes. The correct braking force should start lightly, gradually increase, then decrease again, and just as the vehicle comes to a stop, the braking force should reduce to zero.

What does it mean when a car crosses the line?

Illegal line crossing by a car refers to the traffic violation where a vehicle drives over or crosses a solid line while in motion. Here are the relevant explanations: Meaning of white solid lines: White solid lines are used to separate lanes traveling in the same direction and are typically painted before traffic lights at intersections. Meaning of single yellow solid lines: Single yellow solid lines prohibit vehicles from crossing or driving over the line in both directions. They are painted on roads with only one lane in a single direction or one motor vehicle lane and one non-motor vehicle lane, as well as on sections where overtaking is dangerous and thus prohibited. Meaning of double yellow solid lines: Double yellow solid lines also prohibit vehicles from crossing or driving over the line in both directions. They are painted on roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in a single direction and without a physical central divider.
