Whether a car with temporary license plates can drive on the highway depends on the type of temporary license plate, which is distinguished by color. Temporary license plates with a sky-blue background, black characters, and black borders are only valid within the city and are referred to as local temporary license plates. Vehicles with these plates cannot travel to other regions and are subject to significant restrictions. On the other hand, temporary license plates with a brown-yellow background, black characters, and black borders can be used for inter-city travel and are known as non-local temporary license plates. These plates allow travel to other regions, and there is no need to worry about driving on the highway. Below is additional information about license plates: 1. Temporary License Plates: The use and regulations for temporary license plates are the same as for regular license plates. It is not the case that temporary license plates exempt the vehicle from penalties. If the temporary license plates are not correctly displayed, if expired temporary license plates are used, or if any traffic law is violated, the driver will still be subject to penalties and fines. 2. Placement of Temporary License Plates: Temporary license plates usually come in two pieces. One should be affixed to the lower left or right corner of the front windshield, ideally without obstructing the driver's view, and the other should be placed on the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. If there is insufficient space to display both plates, the other temporary license plate should still be carried in the vehicle. If there is only one temporary license plate, it should be affixed to the lower left or right corner of the front windshield.

Are Car Cigarette Lighters Universal?

Car cigarette lighters are universal, but it is recommended that car owners choose the appropriate cigarette lighter to avoid abnormalities during use that may affect driving safety. When selecting a cigarette lighter, pay attention to its allowable current to prevent circuit overload during use. The functions of a car cigarette lighter are as follows: 1. Car Charger: While driving, if your phone runs low on battery, you can charge it via the cigarette lighter, providing convenience for passengers. 2. Car Inverter: A car inverter can convert the vehicle's 12V voltage to 220V, allowing passengers to use it, which is particularly convenient for those who enjoy road trips without affecting normal usage. 3. Car Air Pump: Long-distance drivers may need an air pump. If a tire gets punctured halfway, they can directly replace and inflate the inner tube without the hassle of changing to a spare tire, saving time for long-distance drivers. 4. Car Heated Cup: Car heated cups are also quite common in many drivers' vehicles. By connecting to the car cigarette lighter, drivers can have hot water to drink while driving, especially useful in colder weather. 5. Car Dash Cam: A dash cam is an essential safety accessory for driving, and it can also be powered via the cigarette lighter.

When picking up a vehicle, it is crucial to conduct a thorough inspection to avoid receiving a stock vehicle. Pay attention to the following points during the inspection: 1. Check the production dates of the tires and glass; significant discrepancies may indicate issues. 2. Ensure there are no scratches on the exterior and no stains on the interior. 3. Start the vehicle to check if the lights, electronic instruments, wipers, turn signal levers, dashboard, etc., are functioning properly. 4.

Why is there no signal in the car's reversing camera?

Here are the reasons why there is no signal in the car's reversing camera: 1. The operation of the reversing camera may be interfered with when the car is just started. 2. The probe of the reversing camera is damaged or the photosensitive signal of the chip is blocked due to prolonged use. 3. Poor line contact may cause the reversing radar to be intermittent. 4. The navigation card slot may be damaged, causing the reversing camera function to fail. Here are the solutions for no signal in the car's reversing camera: 1. The operation of the reversing camera may be interfered with when the car is just started. You can try restarting to check the situation. It may also be electromagnetic interference from other electrical devices in the car. Try turning off the radio or music player before restarting. 2. If the probe of the reversing camera is damaged or the photosensitive signal of the chip is blocked due to prolonged use, you can remove the camera and connect it to someone else's navigation system to test if the camera is damaged. 3. Poor line contact may cause the reversing radar to be intermittent. Check the connection points between the reversing radar lines and the vehicle's wiring for loose connections. 4. If the reversing camera in the car is part of an integrated navigation and reversing camera system, the navigation card slot may be damaged, causing the reversing camera function to fail. When selecting a reversing camera, pay attention to whether it matches your vehicle model. Consider factors such as the camera model, power voltage, screen size, waterproofing, shock resistance, and anti-interference capabilities. Cars generally use a power voltage of 12V, while large vehicles such as trucks and buses usually use 24V. The reversing cameras for cars and large vehicles should not be mixed.
