Head-Up Display (HUD) can indeed be installed aftermarket. Also known as a Parallel Display System, HUD is a driver-centric, blind-operation, multi-functional instrument panel. Its primary function is to project driving information such as speed and navigation onto the windshield in front of the driver, allowing them to view navigation and speed details without lowering or turning their head. Vehicles equipped with HUD include the BMW 5 Series Li, Peugeot 3008, Peugeot 508, Audi A6, Audi A7, and Lexus GS, among others. HUD systems are categorized into two types: 1. Suspended HUD; 2. Dashboard-mounted HUD.

Heads-up displays can definitely be retrofitted – I installed one in my car myself. There are mainly two types on the market: One is a standalone device, like a small box placed on the dashboard that connects to the OBD port to display speed and navigation; the other requires dismantling the center console for wiring and can show more data but is more complicated to install. Regular windshields may produce double images, which can be solved by applying special reflective film or choosing models with built-in reflectors. I opted for the standalone type and installed it myself in about 20 minutes – it's super practical for monitoring speed to avoid overspeeding. Just remember to test the angle after installation; too high may block your view, too low makes it hard to see. Overall, it's a cost-effective modification, especially for highway driving where it reduces the risk of looking down at the instrument cluster.

What date is used for the restoration of 12 points on a driver's license?

The restoration of 12 points on a driver's license is based on the date the license was issued, with a scoring cycle lasting 12 months. For example, if the license was issued on March 6, the scoring cycle will run until March 5 of the following year. At 24:00 on March 5, the points on the license will be reset, and a new scoring cycle will begin counting from March 5. If the accumulated penalty points within a scoring cycle do not reach 12, the scoring system will automatically reset the points from the previous cycle at the start of the next cycle. If the points reach 12, the license holder must attend a study session and pass the written test (or the road test if the license holder has accumulated 12 points twice consecutively within one scoring cycle) at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or where the violation occurred. Only after passing the test will the points be reset; otherwise, the license cannot be used normally.

How Long Does It Take for Car Paint to Dry Before Driving?

Under standard painting procedures, car paint can be touched after 2 hours, and the paint surface will reach 80% hardness after 24 hours. It takes 36 to 72 hours for the paint to fully dry, but the car can generally be driven after about 24 hours. Automotive paint is quite complex, consisting of four layers from the inside out: the electrocoat layer, primer layer, base coat (color layer), and clear coat. If the car has just been painted, avoid exposing the newly painted areas to water and dust. It's advisable not to drive in rainy weather, as fresh paint is still delicate and may develop watermarks that cannot be removed even by polishing. Sunlight exposure is acceptable, but be cautious to prevent contact with chemicals and grease on the newly painted surfaces.

How to Renew an Expired Vehicle License?

Vehicle license renewal process: 1. The renewal should be initiated three months in advance, i.e., within 90 days before the vehicle inspection is due; 2. For vehicles not exempt from inspection, the owner needs to bring the power of attorney, vehicle license, and compulsory traffic insurance policy to the local motor vehicle inspection station for inspection; 3. It is no longer necessary to apply for an inspection qualification mark. After passing the inspection, the vehicle license's auxiliary page will be directly endorsed. Note: The vehicle license itself does not have an expiration date. As long as the vehicle passes the inspection, it will continue to be endorsed as valid. Renewal essentially means getting the endorsement stamp. Although the vehicle license is long-term and does not expire, it still requires annual inspection and endorsement stamps. If the auxiliary page of the vehicle license is full of endorsement stamps, the owner must renew the license at the vehicle management office where the license plate was issued before the next annual inspection.

What Are the Tips for Balancing an Electric Bike?

Keep the bike upright, gradually start the throttle, but ensure the bike has sufficient power to move. If the throttle is too low, the bike can easily wobble, making it difficult to maintain balance. When practicing turning, master the transition of the throttle and adjust the speed appropriately. In case of an emergency, pull the emergency brake handle. An electric bicycle refers to a personal transportation device that integrates mechanical and electrical components, based on a regular bicycle, equipped with a motor, controller, battery, throttle handle, brake handle, and display instrument system, using the battery as an auxiliary power source.

How to Keep the Same License Plate When Changing Cars?

Method for keeping the same license plate when changing cars: Follow the process for canceling the registration of a motor vehicle to complete the scrapping and deregistration of the original vehicle. Within six months after the vehicle is scrapped and deregistered, submit an application to retain the license plate, along with the scrapping certificate of the original vehicle and the registration documents of the vehicle corresponding to the license plate, to the vehicle management office.

Eligible owners will have their applications accepted, the original license plate recorded, and a temporary license plate printed and issued to the vehicle owner. To apply for the use of the original motor vehicle license plate number, the following conditions must be met: 1. The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation of registration; 2. The vehicle owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years; 3. All traffic violations and accidents involving the original vehicle must be resolved.

How to Transfer ETC from Old Car to New Car?

The specific steps to transfer ETC from an old car to a new one: 1. Bring the vehicle license and ID card, fill out a change form. There is a button on the back of the ETC device—pressing it will pop it out, rendering the device inactive. 2. Re-match at the purchase location, go to the ETC customer service to update the data. If selling or changing cars, deregister first. 3. Bring the ETC card and OBU device to the ETC service center for removal. Use the removal receipt issued by the center to cancel the contract with the bank. 4. The old license plate must be under your name and used for at least three years.

Apply to use the original vehicle license plate and submit it to the processing officer. Note: The name and ID number on the new car invoice must match those of the old car.
