A driver's license can be renewed in advance. Article 57 of the "Traffic Regulations and Penalty Points Rules" states: A motor vehicle driver shall apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the license issuing location or elsewhere within 90 days before the expiration of the motor vehicle driver's license. If the driver's license expires, traffic police will impose a fine upon discovery, but no penalty points will be deducted. There is a latest deadline for license renewal. If the license has expired for less than one year, it can be renewed through the normal process; if it has expired between one to three years, the license will be canceled, but it can be re-obtained by passing the subject one exam; if it has expired for more than three years, the license will be canceled. Article 57 of the "Traffic Regulations and Penalty Points Rules": When applying, the applicant shall fill out the application form and submit the following documents and proofs: the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver, the motor vehicle driver's license, and a medical condition certificate issued by a county-level or military regimental-level medical institution. For applications for a special small automatic passenger vehicle for the disabled, a medical condition certificate issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority shall be submitted. Materials required for renewing a driver's license: original ID card and its copy, a qualified medical examination form from a hospital designated by the vehicle management office, three one-inch white-background color photos, a completed driver's license renewal application form, and the processing fee. The photos and medical examination proof required for renewal can be brought by the applicant. If concerned about their validity, these can be processed directly at the traffic police department's certification hall to avoid delays. Relevant matters for renewing an expired driver's license: Regarding renewal: For annual review and renewal of an expired driver's license, the old license must be surrendered to the vehicle management office. Before renewal, all related traffic violations must be resolved; otherwise, the application will not be accepted. Renewal of a motor vehicle driver's license can be done through the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123," or via the vehicle management office, traffic management departments, or public security authorities, ensuring an effective renewal process.

What are the reasons for the car key not responding when starting the ignition?

The reasons why the car key does not respond when starting the ignition: 1. The car battery is low on power: First, check the car battery. If the car battery is completely drained, you need to find an external power source to jump-start the car; 2. The car's ignition system has a problem: Check the car's ignition system to see if there is power in the wire entering the ignition switch; 3. The car's steering wheel is locked: Place one hand on the steering wheel and use the other hand to turn the car key back and forth. This will quickly start the car; 4. Circuit issues: Faults that cause the car not to start or respond include blown fuses, open high-voltage coils, open low-voltage circuits, detached central ignition wires, leaking distributor heads, and damaged spark plugs.

What to Do If a Small Patch of Paint Comes Off the Car?

Solutions for a small patch of paint coming off the car: You can repair scratched car paint by waxing. If the surface paint of the car body has been damaged and partially peeled off, you can try to touch up the paint yourself. You need to purchase a touch-up paint pen kit with the same color code, which includes all the necessary tools for touch-up, such as sandpaper, putty, and polishing compound. If the scratch has damaged the car's primer or even caused metal deformation, the situation is very serious. If not addressed promptly, it may lead to rust in the future. To repair the primer and deformation, the paint on the affected area needs to be sanded off, followed by metal repair, and finally, repainting with all layers of paint.

How to Deal with ETC Device Malfunctions?

Methods for handling ETC device malfunctions: 1. Check if the ETC device has power. Remove the ETC card and reinsert it into the device. If the ETC device does not emit a beep sound, it can be confirmed that the device is out of power. Simply drive the car to a sunny area to recharge it. 2. If the ETC device displays an "invalid tag" message, it means the electronic tag attached to the car's front windshield has fallen off. In this case, you need to visit an ETC card service point for reactivation. ETC is an electronic toll collection system, also known as an automatic road toll system. It is a road toll method specifically designed for toll roads, commonly found on highways, toll bridges or tunnels, and certain sections of urban roads, aimed at alleviating urban traffic congestion.

What to Do When the External Tire Pressure Monitor Cannot Be Removed?

Solutions for removing an external tire pressure monitor: Apply a few drops of lubricating oil at the nut, wait for an hour, then use the original nut to unscrew it or use small needle-nose pliers to twist it off. The external tire pressure monitor uses a pin to push open the valve core, and the air pressure impact received by the sensor is the internal tire pressure. The sensor cleverly utilizes the thread that secures the dust cap to fix it onto the valve stem. Tire pressure monitors can be categorized into built-in and external types based on the installation position of the sensor module. Both external and built-in types are manifestations of direct tire pressure monitoring systems. There are differences in product positioning between built-in and external types, but there is no functional superiority or inferiority between them.

Do I Need to Replace the Rims When Changing Tires?

Replacing tires does not require replacing the rims. As long as the rims are undamaged, you only need to replace the tires with the same size and specifications as the original factory tires during a tire change. There is no need to replace the rims as well. Tires, as components that directly contact the ground to bear the vehicle's weight and provide the necessary friction for driving, operate under extremely harsh conditions. They not only endure exposure to sun and rain but also withstand extreme cold in winter and high temperatures in summer. When replacing tires, it is crucial to ensure that the new tires match the original factory tire size and specifications, and that all four tires on the vehicle are of the same size and specifications. Using tires that do not meet the required specifications can significantly impact the vehicle's driving quality and even pose serious safety risks, creating major safety hazards.

What is the method of pressing the clutch before braking?

The method of pressing the clutch before braking: If you encounter a red light at an intersection and need to stop, or when pulling over to the side, you should first press the clutch. When approaching the crosswalk, directly apply the brakes. This is because the lower the car's speed, the greater the frictional resistance between the tires and the ground. If you brake first, the engine is more likely to stall. The minimum speed for each gear is the speed when the engine is idling. When the speed in a certain gear is lower than this threshold, the engine is prone to stalling. When decelerating, as long as the current speed is higher than the idle speed of the current gear, there is no need to press the clutch. When braking in the current gear, as long as the engine speed does not drop below idle, there is no need to press the clutch.
