Generally, a motor vehicle driver's license cannot be used to check into a hotel, but some hotels have less strict requirements for identification documents. Since the driver's license contains a photo and ID number, you can inquire in advance whether it can be used for hotel check-in. Below are specific details about the driver's license: Function: The driver's license is a legal document permitting the operation of a motor vehicle on the road, which records detailed information about the vehicle and its owner. Regulations: Drivers must operate motor vehicles according to the vehicle types specified on their driver's license and must carry both the driver's license and vehicle registration certificate while driving. If caught driving without carrying the driver's license or vehicle registration certificate, one point will be deducted from the driver's record, and the vehicle will be temporarily impounded until valid documents are provided.

As someone who frequently travels by car, I must say a driver's license really can't be used to check into a hotel room. That thing is specifically for starting your car engine and proving you're qualified to drive. Hotels require an ID card or passport for identity verification when checking in. While a driver's license has personal information, it's incomplete, and the front desk definitely won't accept it for registration. Last year when I drove to Huangshan for vacation, I only brought my driver's license when booking the hotel. The front desk guy shook his head and said no, so I had to rush back to the car to get my ID card before I could check in. This experience taught me that when going on long-distance drives, you must bring your ID card—don't mix up your documents; their purposes should be clear. Road trips are fantastic, but you need to handle the details properly, like having all the right documents to make the journey smoother. The driver's license handles safe driving, while the ID card takes care of accommodation—that's the proper pairing to avoid awkward and embarrassing situations on the road.

Additionally, pay attention to the speed limit of the test road to avoid speeding.

Can a new car be returned or exchanged if it malfunctions?

New cars can be returned or exchanged if they malfunction, but there are strict regulations regarding the conditions for returns or exchanges. The relevant regulations on car warranties and returns/exchanges are primarily based on the "Regulations on the Repair, Replacement, and Return of Household Automotive Products" issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine, commonly known as the "Automobile Three Guarantees." Below are the conditions for returning or exchanging a car: 1. Service Target: The service targets household automotive products, which refer to passenger vehicles purchased and used by consumers for personal consumption. If the car is purchased for rental purposes, such as leasing to a car rental company or for ride-hailing services like Didi or Hitch, or for other commercial purposes, it is not covered under the three guarantees for car returns or exchanges. 2. Time Regulations: The time frame for returning or exchanging a car must be within 60 days from the date of the purchase invoice or within 3,000 kilometers of driving (whichever comes first). This means that if more than two months have passed since the purchase, the car generally cannot be returned or exchanged. The warranty period for the car is no less than 3 years or 60,000 kilometers. 3. Other Conditions: If the car has undergone two repairs for the same serious safety performance fault and the fault remains unresolved or a new serious safety performance fault occurs, the consumer may choose to return or exchange the vehicle.

How soon can a new car be transferred to someone else?

A new car can be transferred to someone else the day after completing the registration procedures, with no time restrictions. For the transfer, both parties need to bring their ID cards, the vehicle license, and the motor vehicle registration certificate. As long as the new car has all the necessary documents, is free from any mortgage or pledge, and has no outstanding traffic violations or accidents, it can apply for the transfer procedure at any time. Here are four types of vehicles that cannot be transferred: 1. Vehicle identification code does not match the engine hood code: Such vehicles are usually of unknown origin, often being smuggled or modified cars. Even if purchased, they cannot be registered or transferred. 2. Failed to meet environmental inspection standards: Starting from 2018, China implemented the National V emission standard nationwide. Vehicles meeting National III or IV standards could not be registered even if purchased. With increasingly strict environmental standards, the National VI standard followed soon after. It is advisable to purchase vehicles meeting at least National V standards. 3. Vehicles without a certificate of conformity: The certificate of conformity is another crucial document for a car and is essential for registration. Without it, the car cannot be registered or transferred. 4. Non-compliant vehicle frame number: Every vehicle has a unique frame number, much like a person's ID card. Many stolen or cloned vehicles have their frame numbers altered when forging license plates.

How to Solve Brake Locking on a Van?

Force start the vehicle and press the accelerator hard until the rear wheels rotate; or remove the tire and lightly tap the brake drum with a hammer or similar tool to loosen the brake drum and brake pads. Below is related information about brake locking: 1. Causes: Brake locking usually occurs after rain, washing the car, or when the vehicle has been parked for a certain period (generally about a day). The interior of the rear brake drum and the surface of the brake pads are prone to rust, leading to locking. 2. Prevention methods: To prevent brake locking, after the brake drum gets wet, do not park immediately. Drive for a while and apply the brakes multiple times to allow the moisture inside to evaporate; or when parking, do not engage the handbrake. For manual transmission vehicles, shift into 1st gear, and for automatic transmission vehicles, shift into P gear. This ensures the vehicle won't roll. By keeping the brake drum and brake pads from contacting each other, rust-induced locking can be avoided.
