You can take the driver's license test in another city. According to the new regulations on driver's licenses, the restrictions on taking the test in a non-resident city have been lifted, and the driver's license can be applied for in a city other than the applicant's registered residence. The full name of the driver's license is the Motor Vehicle Driver's License, which is the certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. The following are the relevant regulations regarding the nationwide unified test and the cross-regional subject tests for driver's licenses: 1. The small car driver's license can be applied for nationwide with just one ID. With an ID card, you can directly apply for a small car driver's license anywhere in the country, and no longer need to submit proof of residence or temporary residence permits. 2. Cross-regional subject tests are allowed. If an applicant changes their place of residence due to work, study, or other reasons after completing part of the test, they can apply once to continue the test in another location, and the scores already passed will remain valid.

Indeed, you can complete your driver's license learning in another city, which fully complies with traffic regulations. I've checked the relevant rules—as long as you've lived outside your registered residence for a certain period (usually over six months), you can enroll at a local driving school by providing your ID and proof of residence, such as a temporary residence permit or rental contract. This is especially convenient for people like me who work or study away from home, as it saves time and travel expenses without needing to take leave to return to my hometown. However, be aware that policies may vary slightly by location—some cities may require additional medical certificates, so it’s safer to consult the local vehicle management office or driving school in advance. Personally, I recommend checking local policies online first to ensure all documents are prepared before proceeding, making the entire process much smoother. Don’t wait until the last minute to find out you’re missing materials and delay your progress.

How Often Should Automotive Gear Oil Be Replaced?

Generally, automotive gear oil should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers to effectively improve the efficiency of gear transmission of engine power. Gear Oil Selection: Viscosity is the most fundamental factor when selecting gear oil for replacement. If the viscosity is too high, it may cause overheating of friction surfaces and unnecessary power loss. If the viscosity is too low, centrifugal force may throw the oil off the gear surfaces, potentially leading to oil seal leaks and insufficient lubrication on gear surfaces. This can result in increased wear or even sintering. Therefore, selecting the appropriate viscosity is crucial. To prevent gear surface scuffing, peeling, or sintering caused by high stress during gear contact, it is essential to choose gear oil with excellent anti-wear and extreme pressure performance to maintain proper load-bearing capacity. Users must avoid adding other oils such as internal combustion engine oil or hydraulic oil into the gearbox, as this may lead to insufficient extreme pressure anti-wear performance and gear damage. Manual Transmission Gear Oil Replacement Method: Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature; locate and unscrew the oil level check plug; remove the transmission gear oil drain plug, drain all the old gear oil, and then tighten the plug; use a gear oil filler to add the specified gear oil into the transmission through the oil level check hole.

Is Installing Soundproofing Cotton in Cars Effective?

Installing soundproofing cotton in cars does have certain effects, as it can enhance the vehicle's sound insulation performance. The functions of car soundproofing cotton: During operation, cars generate noise due to mechanical movement. Soundproofing cotton can effectively mitigate this noise, providing drivers with a better driving environment and preventing normal driving from being affected by car noise. Another function of soundproofing cotton is heat insulation. It can reduce the heat transferred from the engine to the hood surface. Cars equipped with hood soundproofing cotton generally do not produce white fog during rainy days. In overcast or winter weather, the significant temperature difference between the external environment and the engine, combined with rain washing over the hood, accelerates paint oxidation. Soundproofing cotton can, to some extent, protect the hood's paint. Precautions for installing soundproofing: Ensure the soundproofing material is environmentally friendly and free from unpleasant odors; pay attention to the material's fire resistance to avoid the risk of spontaneous combustion; consider the material's waterproof and moisture-proof performance; choose a professional shop for installation.

What Are the Reasons for a Car's RPM Not Increasing?

There are several reasons why a car's RPM does not increase when accelerating: clutch slippage, incorrect fuel type, insufficient engine oil, air filter issues, and spark plug problems. Clutch Slippage: One of the most common reasons for a car's RPM not increasing when accelerating is clutch slippage. Clutch slippage is mainly characterized by the vehicle's speed not increasing with the engine's RPM during acceleration, as the engine's power is not fully transmitted to the drive wheels, resulting in weak driving performance, especially noticeable when going uphill. The primary cause of clutch slippage is insufficient friction in the clutch, and the clutch disc should be replaced. Incorrect Fuel Type: Using gasoline with a lower octane rating than required may lead to weak acceleration, reduced engine power, and increased fuel consumption. Switching to a higher-octane gasoline can resolve this issue. Insufficient Engine Oil: If the engine oil is insufficient for a prolonged period, it may result in reduced power and increased fuel consumption in mild cases, or piston knocking and mechanical damage to related components in severe cases. Adding more engine oil can address this problem. Air Filter Issues: If the air filter or throttle body is clogged or malfunctioning, leading to insufficient air intake, it can cause weak acceleration, slow speed increase, and a jerky feeling. Replacing the air filter can solve this issue. Spark Plug Problems: If the spark plugs have poor ignition, leakage, or atomization issues, it can affect the engine's acceleration. Replacing the spark plugs can resolve this problem.

What are the reasons for a car's inability to accelerate?

There are several reasons why a car may struggle to accelerate, including clutch slippage, poor fuel quality, and carbon buildup in the throttle body. Clutch slippage: The symptom of clutch slippage is when you press the accelerator hard, the engine RPM rises quickly, but the vehicle speed does not increase accordingly, resulting in a noticeable lack of acceleration. Solution: Replace the clutch disc. The main causes of clutch slippage are incorrect driving habits, such as coasting with the clutch pedal depressed for extended periods, not fully depressing the clutch when shifting gears, or keeping the car in a semi-clutch state for too long. Poor fuel quality: Using low-quality fuel can affect the gasoline filter and fuel lines, potentially leading to insufficient fuel supply and resulting in poor acceleration. Solution: Seek professional repair at a 4S shop. Throttle body carbon buildup: Carbon deposits accumulating in the throttle body can restrict air intake, leading to insufficient engine power and difficulty in accelerating. Solution: Clean the throttle body.

What are the penalties for vehicle overloading, and are there fines?

For private cars, overloading by one person results in a 2-point deduction and a fine. For passenger vehicles, overloading by one person leads to a 6-point deduction. Generally, exceeding the limit by 50% incurs a fine and the revocation of the driver's license. The maximum capacity for private cars is only 5 people. Carrying just one extra person means an overloading rate of up to 20%, so even a slight oversight could result in a heavy penalty of a 6-point deduction.

What Causes Low Engine Coolant Temperature?

Low engine coolant temperature in vehicles is typically caused by a faulty thermostat or abnormal radiator fan operation. Generally, the normal operating temperature for most vehicles is around 90 degrees Celsius, though this may vary slightly between different car brands. The engine requires a specific operating temperature to function properly, and both excessively high and low temperatures can adversely affect engine performance. Faulty Thermostat: The thermostat regulates engine temperature based on coolant temperature. If the thermostat malfunctions and fails to close, coolant will continuously circulate through the large cooling circuit, potentially causing the engine to run too cold. Some owners remove the thermostat during summer to lower temperatures, which also results in abnormally low engine temperatures. Solution: After starting the engine, check for coolant flow in the radiator; inspect whether water flows through the radiator inlet hose; monitor the temperature gauge for abnormal readings. Abnormal Radiator Fan Operation: If electrical issues cause the cooling fan to run continuously, it will reduce the warming efficiency of both the engine and coolant, resulting in slow temperature rise and significantly increased fuel consumption. During cold starts, observe whether the fan is running (without turning on the AC) to help diagnose the issue. After ruling out sensor failure and radiator fan malfunction, persistent abnormal temperatures usually indicate thermostat problems. Solution: Professional repair shop service is recommended.
