Whether a repaired tire can be used on the highway mainly depends on the following situations: 1. Depth of the damage: If the tire's damage does not exceed 6mm, it can be used on the highway. If it exceeds 6mm, it should not be used on the highway. Additionally, adjustments should be made based on the tire drive type of each vehicle. 2. Location of the repair: If the tire repair is not on the tread but on the sidewall, it should not be used on the highway. The sidewall of the tire is very thin, and generally, damage in this area cannot be repaired. 3. Number of repairs: If the tire has been repaired more than twice, it should not be used on the highway to prevent a blowout while driving. A repaired tire can be used as a spare tire.

Which Side is the Slow Lane and Fast Lane on the Highway?

When driving on a highway, in the case of two lanes in the same direction, the fast lane is the left lane, and the slow lane is the right lane. For three or more lanes in the same direction, the fast lane is the leftmost lane, the driving lane is the middle lane, and the slow lane is the rightmost lane. Additional Information: Highway: Highways are classified as high-grade roads, abbreviated as expressways. According to the "Technical Standards for Highway Engineering" by the Chinese Ministry of Transport, a highway is defined as "a road that can accommodate an average annual daily traffic volume of over 25,000 small passenger vehicles, is exclusively for high-speed divided-lane automobile traffic, and has fully controlled access." Although different countries have varying names for highways, they all refer to roads with four or more lanes, bidirectional separated traffic, fully controlled access, and all-grade interchanges. Restricted Traffic, Automobile-Only: Highways prohibit pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles, tractors, electric vehicles, agricultural transport vehicles, wheeled special machinery, full-trailer tractors, and motor vehicles with a design speed below 70 km/h. Only automobiles are allowed. China also specifies that the design speed of highways is generally 120 km/h. Controlled Access, "Closed" Except at Entrances and Exits: Non-motorized vehicles, pedestrians, and livestock are restricted from entering highways through measures such as barriers, high embankments, and guardrails to "close" the highway. For intersections where vehicle access is not permitted, grade-separated interchanges are installed for isolation. For intersections where vehicle access is allowed, designated interchange ramps are used for connection. Separated Traffic, Safe and High-Speed: Highways adopt a dual-carriageway form with a central median to separate opposing traffic flows, thereby preventing head-on collisions. For traffic in the same direction, lane markings are used throughout to divide lanes, reducing interference caused by overtaking and varying speeds in the same direction, which facilitates high-speed and safe driving.

Is it mandatory to pay compulsory traffic insurance if the car is not driven?

If the car is not driven, you don't have to purchase compulsory traffic insurance, but it absolutely cannot be driven on the road, because only with compulsory traffic insurance can the car be legally driven without penalty. According to Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: If a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display an inspection compliance mark or insurance mark, or the driver does not carry the vehicle registration certificate or driver's license, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the motor vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license, mark, or complete the required procedures, and may issue a warning or impose a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Vehicles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured motor vehicle, within the liability limits. The premium is based on the nationally unified standard rates. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies for different vehicle types, mainly influenced by the number of car seats. Compared to the more than 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party insurance, the exemption scope of compulsory traffic insurance covers losses caused by intentional acts of the victim, property losses of the insured, related arbitration and litigation costs, and some indirect losses caused by accidents, with much broader coverage. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in an accident, compulsory traffic insurance will compensate within the liability limits, without any deductible or exemption. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies An electronic insurance policy refers to a digital policy issued by an insurance company using digital signature software and enterprise digital certificates that comply with the PKI system, bearing the electronic signature of the insurance company. An insurance policy, abbreviated as a policy, is the official written proof of the insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. The policy must fully record the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties to the insurance contract. The content recorded in the policy serves as the basis for both parties to fulfill the contract. The policy is proof of the establishment of the insurance contract. Advantages of Electronic Insurance Policies: Saves paper resources, eliminating the need to print insurance proof marks; Time-saving and convenient, unrestricted by time or location, with information universally accessible online anytime, fast and easy; Can apply for reissuance or resending, no need to worry about losing it, and if a paper version is needed offline, it can also be printed or mailed; Easy management, as electronic unification makes it convenient for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage the insurance information of all vehicles.

Can a temporary ID card be used for the Subject 4 test?

Temporary ID cards can be used for the Subject 4 test, as they hold the same legal validity as regular ID cards. Applicants can visit any public security bureau (even non-local ones) to submit their household registration booklet, a recent one-inch black-and-white photo with no hat (same size standard as ID photos), and pay the certificate processing fee.
