You cannot participate in the license plate lottery without a driver's license. Legal basis for driver's license: Article 57 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses". The "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" must be filled out. Driver's license renewal time: Motor vehicle drivers should apply for a license renewal at the vehicle management office of the driver's license issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of their motor vehicle driver's license. For the motor vehicle driver's license, a medical certificate issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military medical institution at the regimental level or above is required. If applying for a license to drive a small automatic transmission passenger vehicle for the disabled, a medical certificate issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority must be submitted.

I've also lived in Beijing for several years, so I'm quite familiar with the license plate lottery. Even if you don't have a driver's license, you can still apply for a car purchase quota through the lottery. The lottery mainly depends on whether you have local household registration or have continuously paid social insurance for several years—it's not directly related to having a driver's license. However, if you win the lottery and buy a car, you must obtain a driver's license before driving on the road, otherwise, you may face fines or even have your vehicle impounded. My neighbor won the lottery last year but didn't have a license, so they had to sell the quota, wasting the opportunity. I recommend learning to drive while applying for the lottery—killing two birds with one stone. After all, urban traffic regulations are strict now, and driving without a license is too risky. Another small tip is to maintain stable social insurance payments, as this increases your chances of winning. Overall, the rules are quite user-friendly, allowing you to secure a plate first and then learn to drive.

Is October too early to switch to snow tires?

It is not too early to switch to snow tires in October. The weather in October tends to have significant temperature differences between morning and evening. Snow tires are not only for snowy conditions; they should be installed when the local temperature drops below 7°C to enhance the vehicle's traction and ensure more stable driving. Snow tires offer excellent drainage: In terms of appearance, unlike regular or unidirectional tires, snow tires feature asymmetric directional tread patterns. They have more grooves, meaning a higher proportion of the tire surface is covered with grooves. The higher the proportion, the better the drainage. Snow tires typically have at least 1,000 fine grooves, whereas regular tires have around 200. Snow tires improve safety: Snow tires are made of softer materials compared to regular tires, primarily due to special tread formulations. For example, silica-compound rubber blends are designed to grip icy surfaces more tightly, generating greater friction than all-season tires. This significantly enhances the vehicle's handling and safety on slippery ice.

Food items should not be stored in the trunk for long periods: Due to high temperatures inside the car, food can spoil quickly and produce unpleasant odors.
