4S shops can check for odometer adjustment. They can determine whether the odometer has been tampered with by reviewing maintenance records and using professional diagnostic computers. Methods to check for odometer tampering include: 1. Visiting a 4S shop to check the vehicle's maintenance records; 2. Consulting the insurance company; 3. Checking if the tire dates match the vehicle's production date. Methods to adjust the odometer include: 1. Disconnecting the odometer sensor plug from the transmission or driveshaft; 2. Inserting the output plug of the odometer adjuster into the signal socket of the sensor plug; 3. Plugging the odometer adjuster into the cigarette lighter; 4. Turning the ignition key and adjusting the vehicle's speed to the desired setting.

Must the driver's license application photo be taken on-site?

Due to varying procedures among driving schools in different regions, the photos used for driver's licenses may also differ. In some areas, the driver's license photo will use the one-inch photo submitted during registration, while in others, applicants may bring their own photos after passing the fourth subject test, or have their photos taken on-site during the license production. Below is a detailed introduction regarding driver's license photos: 1. Photo requirements: The photo must be one-inch in size, taken within six months prior to the license application, and must be a front-facing, bareheaded photo with a white background. The head should occupy about two-thirds of the photo. Both men and women are not allowed to wear earrings. 2. Can the photo be changed: The photo can be changed, but not privately. The driver's license requires a stamp, which often partially covers the photo. If the photo is changed privately, the stamp will appear incomplete, and this will be treated as using a forged or altered driver's license.

(2) In the following special situations, the maximum speed limit is 30km/h: when encountering fog, rain, snow, sandstorms, or hail with visibility within 50 meters; when driving on icy, snowy, or muddy roads; when making U-turns, turning, on narrow roads, narrow bridges, steep descents, entering or exiting non-motorized lanes, or passing through railway crossings; when towing a malfunctioning motor vehicle. 2. Highways: (1) For two lanes in the same direction, the leftmost lane has a minimum speed limit of 100km/h. (2) For three lanes in the same direction, the leftmost lane has a minimum speed limit of 110km/h, the middle lane has a minimum speed limit of 90km/h, and the rightmost lane has a minimum speed limit of 60km/h.

How Many Failed Attempts Will Void the Driving Test?

Each subject of the driving license test has different attempt limits. There is no limit for Subject 1, while Subjects 2 and 3 have a cumulative limit of no more than 5 attempts, and Subject 4 allows 5 attempts. Below are the relevant details on the attempt limits for different subjects: 1. Subject 1: There is no limit on the number of test attempts. 2. Subjects 2 and 3: If a candidate fails the test, they can retake it once. If they do not attend the retest or fail it again, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of test attempts for Subjects 2 and 3 (road driving skills) must not exceed five. If the fifth attempt is still unsuccessful, the previously passed subjects will be voided. 3. Subject 4: Failing this subject does not require retaking the previously passed subjects (Subjects 1, 2, and 3). The driving school will schedule a retest, usually requiring a retest fee for each attempt. If the candidate fails after 5 retests, the previously passed subjects will be voided.

What is the difference between emergency braking and service braking?

Emergency braking and service braking differ as follows: 1. Service Braking: Service braking refers to the act of pressing the brake pedal, which is used to slow down the vehicle during normal driving. It is a braking method employed when the distance to the vehicle ahead is too close, allowing the driver to reduce speed and maintain a safe following distance. 2. Emergency Braking: Emergency braking, in simple terms, involves pressing the brake pedal fully and quickly in response to a sudden situation, bringing the vehicle to a stop in the shortest possible distance. This braking method is only used in emergencies and represents a very extreme form of braking. 3. Maintenance Methods: Primarily conducted during the vehicle's primary maintenance, this involves draining accumulated water and sediment from the fuel tank and checking for oil leaks at pipe connections and switches.

Water temperature being too high is caused by insufficient antifreeze or a dirty radiator. Adding antifreeze and cleaning the dust off the radiator can resolve the issue. Below are specific details about car water temperature: 1. Reasons for high temperature: The main causes of engine overheating include insufficient coolant, malfunctioning cooling fan, faulty water pump, thermostat failure, and poor radiator heat dissipation. 2. Symptoms of high water temperature: Symptoms of high vehicle water temperature include a warning indicator on the dashboard for high water temperature or engine overheating. The engine cooling fan spins at high speed with loud noise. Engine knocking may occur. In severe cases, it may lead to engine bearing failure, rendering the engine unable to start.
