You cannot drive if your driver's license hasn't been issued yet. Driving without a license is considered unlicensed driving. Penalties for unlicensed driving: Article 99 of the "Safety Law" stipulates that driving a motor vehicle without obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license, or when the motor vehicle driver's license has been revoked or temporarily suspended, shall result in corresponding fines and detention for up to 15 days. Circumstances considered as unlicensed driving: No driver's license, obtaining a driver's license illegally without examination, driver's license being canceled or revoked, not meeting the driving conditions (age and health status), obtaining a driver's license illegally, driver's license has expired, driver's license is temporarily suspended, driving a civilian motor vehicle with a military or armed police force driver's license, driving in China with a foreign driver's license, driving a vehicle beyond the highest permitted vehicle type, not carrying the driver's license.

I have thoroughly studied traffic regulations and must emphasize that driving without obtaining your driver's license is absolutely prohibited. This is a strict rule—operating a vehicle without an official license or temporary permit constitutes unlicensed driving, which carries extremely high legal risks. If stopped and checked by traffic police, you could face fines of at least several hundred yuan, potential vehicle impoundment, and even more troublesome consequences like delays in license issuance or impacts on your credit record. I've seen many friends who couldn't wait to drive right after passing their test end up with tickets and deep regrets. The safest approach is to patiently wait for the physical license to arrive by mail, or proactively visit the DMV to inquire if an electronic certificate can serve as a temporary substitute. Safe travel should always be the priority—never risk it just to save time.

Do car audio speakers have positive and negative terminals?

Speakers need to distinguish between positive and negative terminals, or more accurately, phase polarity. Here is additional information: Reasons for noise in car audio: 1. Poor contact: Loose connections can cause a buzzing sound in the car audio. Locate the loose connection and secure it properly. 2. Quality issues with the speaker: Negotiate with the supplier, as this involves the design and installation of the audio system, so it's best left to professionals. 3. Grounding issues (caused by ground potential differences): Grounding treatment for the amplifier is required, but this process can be quite complex. Additionally, since the system integrates many circuits, incorrect wiring could pose potential safety hazards.

What is the equivalent of a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine in terms of turbocharged engines?

2.5L naturally aspirated engines generally have power output comparable to 2.0T engines. Below is an introduction to turbocharging technology: 1. Origin: Turbocharging technology was initially developed for aircraft engines to address the issue of insufficient air intake at high altitudes. Later, this technology was widely adopted in both gasoline and diesel automotive engines. 2. Components: A turbocharged engine includes a turbocharger, which consists of two main parts: a compression turbine and an exhaust turbine. 3. Technical Principle: When the engine reaches a certain RPM, the exhaust gases contain sufficient energy to drive the exhaust turbine. As the exhaust turbine rotates, it simultaneously spins the compression turbine, which then compresses air and delivers it into the engine cylinders.

What are the components of brake fluid?

Brake fluid is composed of polyethylene glycol ether solvent, lubricant base fluid, and a small amount of additives. Below is relevant information about brake fluid: 1. Performance: Brake fluid, also known as brake hydraulic fluid or mineral oil brake fluid, possesses properties such as oxidation stability, anti-foaming, resistance to rubber swelling, and rust prevention. 2. Replacement: The replacement cycle is related to the vehicle's braking during driving and the braking system. Brake fluid has water-absorbing characteristics. If not replaced for a long time, the safety factor of driving will decrease. For vehicles used frequently, brake fluid can be replaced at around 30,000 kilometers; for less frequent use, the replacement cycle can be extended accordingly, generally around 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers.
