For individuals aged 70 and above applying for a driver's license, additional tests on memory, judgment, and reaction abilities are required to ensure their physical condition meets the safety requirements for driving. Below are the considerations for driving at the age of 70: 1. Once you exceed the age of 70, you must submit a physical condition certificate annually. You can only continue driving if the medical report confirms that your physical condition still allows you to operate a motor vehicle. 2. If the driver's physical condition is no longer suitable for driving, the driver's license will be revoked. In this case, the driver must not drive on the road anymore. 3. Individuals aged 70 and above are not allowed to drive low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and wheeled self-propelled machinery. Those holding a license for ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles or ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles should go to the vehicle management office at the place where the driver's license was issued to exchange it for a license that permits driving light motorcycles.

Is it illegal to replace halogen lights with xenon lights?

Replacing halogen lights with xenon lights is an illegal act. More information about modifying car lights is as follows: 1. Legal basis: Article 16 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' states that 'No unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter the registered structure, construction, or features of a motor vehicle without authorization.' Article 97 also stipulates: 'Illegal installation of alarms or marking lights will be forcibly removed and confiscated by the traffic management department of the public security organ, and a fine of not less than 200 yuan but not more than 2,000 yuan shall be imposed.' 2. Introduction: Halogen lights emit light by heating the filament to an incandescent state, while xenon lights rely on high-voltage arc discharge for illumination. Compared to ordinary halogen car lights, xenon lights have the advantages of lower energy consumption, higher brightness, longer range, and longer lifespan. The disadvantages of xenon lights are poor light focusing (which can be solved by equipping lenses), they can be too bright and affect the vision of oncoming drivers, and they have weak penetration power and a delay effect.

What is the Start-Stop Function?

Start-stop function refers to the engine automatic start-stop function. The engine automatic start-stop means that when the vehicle temporarily stops during driving (such as waiting for a traffic light), the engine automatically shuts off. When it is time to move forward again, the system will automatically restart the engine. It is abbreviated as STT, which is a system that controls the engine's start and stop. Below is a partial introduction to the start-stop function: 1. Function: The function of the automatic start-stop is that when the vehicle is driving and needs to stop, the engine will automatically shut off; when it is time to drive again, simply depress the clutch, and the engine will automatically start, saving time. 2. Working Principle: The working principle of the start-stop system is that when the vehicle needs to stop due to congestion or at an intersection, the driver can press the brake pedal, stop, and shift to neutral. At this time, the Start/Stop system automatically detects conditions such as: the engine is idling and not in gear, the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero, and the electronic battery sensor indicates there is sufficient energy for another start. The entire process remains in D gear.

What is the maximum speed limit for motor vehicles when entering or exiting non-motorized vehicle lanes?

Motor vehicles must not exceed a speed of 30 kilometers per hour when entering or exiting non-motorized vehicle lanes. Below is relevant information about non-motorized vehicle lanes: 1. Introduction: A non-motorized vehicle lane refers to the lane on highways or urban roads, located between the right-hand sidewalk curb (or line) and the first vehicle lane division line (or barrier/island), or lanes marked on sidewalks. Except under special circumstances, these lanes are exclusively for non-motorized vehicles. 2. Lane Width: The width of non-motorized vehicle lanes is generally determined based on the types of non-motorized vehicles using them, their operational requirements, possible lateral combinations of various vehicles, and considerations for unfavorable scenarios like side-by-side driving and overtaking. Different width combinations may arise when various non-motorized vehicles mix in the lane, with a lateral safety distance of approximately 0.4 to 0.5 meters between two different types of non-motorized vehicles.

How Long Does Antifreeze Expire After Leaving the Factory?

Antifreeze expires 2~3 years after leaving the factory. Antifreeze replacement cycle: Vehicle antifreeze generally needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. This is just a reference cycle. For commercial vehicles with longer mileage, the replacement cycle is shorter. Since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the replacement should be based on actual usage. Check the antifreeze's condition; if it is insufficient, replenish it promptly. If suspended matter, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are found in the antifreeze, replace it immediately and clean the system. How to choose antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are its freezing point and boiling point. On the market, antifreeze comes in several specifications with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Antifreeze plays a crucial role in the engine's cooling system.
