You cannot practice driving with a private car before obtaining a driver's license, as it constitutes unlicensed driving. During the period of studying for a driver's license, you are also considered unlicensed and can only practice driving in designated locations with designated vehicles. Private cars are not among these designated vehicles. There are many precautions to take when driving after obtaining a license. Pre-driving preparations: Before driving, inspect the car thoroughly, including various fluids, tires, the braking system, etc. Ensure all pre-driving preparations are complete and fasten your seatbelt. Remember the rules: Once on the road, always remember the traffic rules. Understand that all vehicles on the road follow established traffic rules. As long as you drive within these rules, you will generally avoid problems. Start by following other cars: When you first start driving, you can begin by following other cars. Observing the driving routes of the car in front can help reduce confusion when you are unfamiliar with road signs and traffic signals. Slow down and drive cautiously: While driving, pay attention to slowing down and maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles. This gives you more time to react to any situation. Be mindful of braking: Develop the habit of braking. No matter the situation, always be prepared to brake and ensure you can do so smoothly.

Can a leaking shock absorber be repaired?

Whether a leaking shock absorber can be repaired depends on the specific situation. If the leakage is caused by normal aging and damage of the internal oil seal, it can be repaired. However, if the leakage is induced by factors such as strong impact, it cannot be repaired and must be replaced. This is currently the mainstream repair method adopted by 4S shops and repair shops. To rapidly attenuate the vibration of the frame and body and improve the smoothness and comfort of the car, shock absorbers are generally installed on the vehicle's suspension system. The most widely used type in automobiles is the double-acting telescopic shock absorber. Shock absorbers are vulnerable components during vehicle use, and their condition directly affects the driving stability of the car and the lifespan of other components.

On what road surfaces are vehicles prone to wheel lock-up?

Vehicles are prone to wheel lock-up when braking on road surfaces with low friction coefficients, such as icy or snowy roads. Due to the minimal friction generated on such surfaces, when the friction between the brake pads and brake discs exceeds that between the road and the wheels, the wheels may lock up and skid, significantly increasing the risk of rollover or tipping accidents. Wheel lock-up is defined as the tires ceasing to rotate while the vehicle continues to move, creating dynamic friction between the tires and the road surface. A similar phenomenon is wheel spin during acceleration (where the vehicle remains stationary while the tires rotate freely). In certain high-performance models, switching the driving mode to drift mode can deactivate the wheel lock-up system. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a crucial safety feature designed to prevent such accidents.

How to Deal with Excessive Airbag Resistance?

Methods to address excessive airbag resistance: 1. Check for open circuits. Poorly connected wiring harnesses causing open circuits will trigger a high resistance alert in the system; 2. Use a diagnostic tool to determine which airbag has excessive resistance, then inspect the corresponding wiring harness connector for looseness; 3. Examine whether the airbag connector is loose. If it is secure and unobstructed, the issue lies within the main airbag's internal fault; 4. Inspect the wiring beneath the airbag to ensure proper connection, thereby determining if the airbag clock spring is damaged; 5. If the airbag resistance is too high and the cause cannot be identified, consider adding a resistor or directly replacing the airbag with a new one.

How Many Months Does a Car Need to Be Considered as Stock?

How many months a car needs to be considered as stock depends on its origin. For domestic brand vehicles, they are considered as stock if they remain unsold for six months after leaving the factory. For imported brand vehicles, the threshold is 12 months. For joint-venture brand vehicles produced domestically, the timeframe aligns with domestic brands—six months before they are deemed stock vehicles. There is no clear legal definition for stock cars; it is merely a term used by car salespeople to indicate that the vehicle has been in inventory for a relatively long time. This has a significant impact on dealers because vehicle models are updated rapidly nowadays, and stock cars often lag behind in configuration, which can be described as outdated.

Where is the VIN located on the vehicle license?

The VIN is located in the 'Vehicle Identification Number' section of the vehicle license. It consists of 17 alphanumeric characters. The VIN, also known as the chassis number, serves as the car's unique identifier, similar to an ID card. It provides information about the vehicle's manufacturing details. In addition to being found on the vehicle license, the VIN can also be located on the car itself, typically on a metal plate in the engine compartment or on the inner side of the door. The vehicle license is the legal document that permits a motor vehicle to operate on public roads, and it is also unique, with one license issued per vehicle. The vehicle license contains various details, including the vehicle type, license plate number, usage nature, VIN, engine code, and brand model.
