An expired ID card can be replaced with a temporary ID card for taking the Subject 3 driving test. A temporary ID card has the same legal validity as a regular ID card and can be used as a formal ID within its 3-month validity period. Materials required for ID card replacement: The original Household Register of the applicant. Filled-out Application Form for Resident ID Card. Applicant's Proof of Replacement. ID photo receipt or on-site photo collection. Application process: Visit the local police station and request the household registration officer to issue a replacement proof for the lost ID card. Bring your Household Register, replacement proof, photo information (ID photo receipt), and the filled-out Application Form for Resident ID Card to the temporary ID card processing window at the police station. The window officer will review the application materials. If approved: Pay the applicable fee and receive a Certificate Collection Notice. If rejected: The officer will explain the reason. Collect the new ID card at the designated location by presenting the Certificate Collection Notice at the specified time.

Does Remote Starting the Vehicle Air Conditioning Harm the Car?

Remote starting the vehicle air conditioning does not harm the car. This is because when the air conditioning is turned on while idling, the engine experiences an increased load. However, the engine will automatically raise its RPM to ensure normal operation, though this may result in slightly higher fuel consumption. Below are detailed explanations about this: Engine: A machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines), and electric motors. Air Conditioning Temperature: When the ambient seasonal temperature rises above 35 degrees Celsius, the interior temperature of a closed car can reach 65 degrees within 15 minutes.

How often should a C1 driver's license be reviewed for individuals over 60 years old?

Individuals over 60 years old with a C1 driver's license do not need to undergo an annual review. A review is only required when renewing the license.

The calculation method for the driver's license scoring cycle is as follows: Method 1: Starting from the day the driver's license is initially obtained, every 12 months is considered a cycle. The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is initially obtained. Method 2: Based on the severity of road traffic safety violations, the points deducted for a single violation can be 12, 6, 3, 2, or 1 point.
