Temporary license plates cannot be used if the official plates have arrived, even if the temporary plates have not expired. Once the official license plates are received, the temporary plates become invalid regardless of their expiration status. If caught using them, you may face penalties such as vehicle impoundment, fines, and a 12-point deduction on your driving record. Definition of Temporary License Plates: Automobile temporary license plates are temporary vehicle movement permits issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau when a car has not yet been officially registered due to pending procedures. The validity period of a temporary license plate generally does not exceed thirty days. The use of temporary license plates is subject to time and regional limitations. Limitations of Temporary License Plates: Temporary license plates have a limited validity period and can still be used temporarily if removed before this period ends. Once the validity period of the temporary license plate expires, the relevant authorities will reclaim it and require the owner to destroy it appropriately. After this point, only the official license plates can be used.

Testing Basis: Automotive exhaust emission testing is based on whether the smoke opacity value meets the standards, and whether emissions meet the standards is primarily determined by vehicle testing data, confirming compliance based on the smoke opacity value. 2. Inspection Authorities: Motor vehicle exhaust inspections are conducted jointly by the environmental protection administrative departments and public security traffic management departments for law enforcement checks. Traffic police officers are responsible for directing, intercepting vehicles, and handling vehicles that exceed standards, while environmental protection personnel are responsible for monitoring.

Is It Normal for the Car Interior to Be Damp on Rainy Days?

It is normal for the car interior to be damp on rainy days. Precautions for driving in the rain: 1. Slow down: Visibility is low in rainy weather, and the field of vision is poor. The braking distance and other emergency performance of the vehicle will also be reduced, so it is necessary to slow down in advance, leaving sufficient time and space to handle situations and ensure safety. 2. Maintain distance: Driving in the rain can obstruct your vision, so it is important to maintain a safe distance between vehicles, constantly observe the distance to the vehicles in front and behind, and increase the safety margin. 3. Do not restart after stalling: In heavy rain or stormy weather, some road sections may become severely waterlogged in a short time. If you must drive through water, use a low gear and pass at a constant speed. If the vehicle stalls while moving, do not attempt to restart it immediately. Blindly restarting may cause the engine to be irreparably damaged. After the vehicle stalls, you should promptly contact a specialized repair shop. Only after the maintenance personnel have inspected the vehicle on-site and confirmed that there are no issues can the vehicle be restarted.

What are the causes of brake noise in the XPeng P7?

The following are the reasons for brake noise in the XPeng P7: 1. Reason one: Severe wear of brake pads: When the brake pads reach the end of their service life, the surface friction blocks are severely worn, causing the steel plate at the bottom of the brake pads to rub against the brake disc during braking, resulting in a screeching noise. The maintenance technician uses a lift to raise the vehicle, remove the wheels, and inspect the wear of the brake pads. 2. Reason two: Brake pads are too hard: The hardness of the brake pads is primarily due to the material used. If the brake pads are too hard, especially in low-temperature environments, and there is water on the brake pads, the driver may hear sharp friction sounds when braking. Conversely, if the brake pads are too soft, they will wear out very quickly. Therefore, brake pads that are either too hard or too soft will affect the driving experience. The maintenance technician can use a lift to raise the vehicle, remove the brake pads, and observe their thickness, or drive the vehicle in a safe area and test by applying the brakes. 3. Reason three: Brake caliper failure: During vehicle braking, the brake caliper pushes the brake pads to achieve the braking process. If the brake caliper malfunctions, the brake pads may not fully contact the brake disc when the driver applies the brakes, resulting in noise. The maintenance technician uses a lift to raise the vehicle, remove the wheels, and check if the brake caliper is cracked.
