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. Note: Anyone acting as a proxy to apply for or collect an ID card must present their own ID card. Subject 3, which includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. It is commonly referred to as the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test. The full score is 100, with a passing score of 90. One retake is allowed on the spot. If the retake is failed, a new appointment can be made after 10 days. The road driving skills test for Subject 3 includes: vehicle preparation, light simulation test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing crosswalks, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. Subject 3 test precautions: Starting: Close the door, fasten the seatbelt, turn on the left signal, shift to 2nd gear, honk three times, check the left rearview mirror, slowly release the clutch while accelerating, and release the parking brake to start without rolling back. Driving straight through intersections: Speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20; crossing the yellow line is prohibited. Bus stops: Speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20; crossing the yellow line is prohibited. Turning right at intersections: Turn on the left signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20; crossing the line is prohibited. Changing lanes: Turn on the left signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20; crossing the side line is prohibited. Overtaking: Turn on the left signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20; crossing the side line is prohibited. Turning left at intersections: Turn on the left signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20; crossing the line is prohibited. Passing school zones: Speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20; crossing the line and honking are prohibited. Driving straight: Shift to 5th gear when speed exceeds 40; speed should remain above 40; crossing the line is prohibited. Accelerating: Shift to 5th gear when speed exceeds 40; speed should remain above 40; crossing the line is prohibited. Making U-turns: Choose an appropriate section, turn right to move to the far-right lane, stop, turn left, shift to 2nd gear, and make a two-forward-one-reverse U-turn without rolling back. Pulling over: Turn on the right signal for 3 seconds before pulling over. The right wheel should be no more than 30 cm from the roadside line. Apply the parking brake and shift to neutral.

How Long Can You Use Temporary License Plates Before Switching to Permanent Ones?

You can switch to permanent license plates as soon as they are issued. Temporary license plates are valid for 15 days and can be renewed up to three times, allowing a maximum usage period of 45 days. Within these 45 days, you must install the permanent license plates. Vehicle License Plate Application Process: The applicant must bring the required materials to the local vehicle management office to complete the necessary procedures. The inspection department will review the vehicle's factory qualification certificate for domestically produced vehicles. The registration review department will examine the submitted materials, input the registration information if everything complies with regulations, and issue an acceptance certificate to the vehicle owner. The archives management department will verify the information in the computer registration system, organize the documents, and file them. Rules for Using Temporary License Plates: Before the permanent license plates are issued, only temporary license plates should be used. Once the permanent plates are issued, even if the temporary plates are still within their validity period, they cannot be used anymore. If caught by traffic police, you will face corresponding penalties.

Is Waxing Good for Cars?

Waxing is beneficial for cars. Benefits of waxing: The primary functions of waxing include waterproofing, protection against acid rain, effectively preventing paint aging, anti-static properties, dust resistance, and more. Additionally, car wax can provide a polishing effect. It prevents static electricity in cars, which can be caused by synthetic fibers or silk fabrics, as well as friction with dust particles in the air. Regardless of the source, static electricity can be troublesome for drivers. Therefore, car wax not only prevents static electricity but also effectively blocks the friction damage caused by air and dust on the paint surface. Drawbacks of waxing: It can wear down the paint surface over time. Long-term waxing essentially means gradually wearing down the paint, as waxing involves polishing with microscopic particles. It is prone to oxidation because car wax uses petroleum as a solvent, making it susceptible to oxidation, which means it cannot provide long-term protection for the car paint once oxidized.

What is the Difference Between All-Season Tires and Regular Tires?

The difference between all-season tires and regular tires lies in their appearance: all-season tires have an "AT" marking on the tread, while regular tires have wider tread grooves, offering better drainage, making them more suitable for use in rainy summers. All-season tires, also known as multi-purpose tires, are designed to adapt to various road conditions and are often used in complex and demanding environments. Below is some relevant information about tires: 1. Function: Tires are one of the key components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the vehicle's suspension system, they help absorb shocks during driving, ensuring a comfortable ride and smooth handling. They also maintain good traction between the wheels and the road, enhancing the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities. 2. Classification: Vehicle tires can be categorized by their use into passenger car tires and truck tires. Passenger car tires are mainly used for inflatable tires on passenger vehicles, while truck tires are designed for trucks, buses, and trailers. Based on their structure, vehicle tires can also be divided into pneumatic tires and solid tires. Most modern vehicles use pneumatic tires, while solid tires are only used on low-speed vehicles or heavy-duty trailers operating on main roads with asphalt concrete surfaces.

How to Brake Smoothly While Driving?

Here are techniques for smooth braking under different circumstances: 1. Following distance and preventing "kiss" technique. When noticing the vehicle ahead starts braking (brake lights illuminate), place your foot on the brake pedal, apply pressure evenly, and decelerate smoothly until matching the speed of the front vehicle. Maintain the brake pedal position, then observe the speed change of the front vehicle to adjust braking force. If the front vehicle's speed stops decreasing, you can slowly release the brake pedal, accelerate gently, and continue maintaining the same speed as the front vehicle for smooth following. 2. Emergency braking. Immediately press the brake pedal fully to the floor while preparing for an emergency lane change. 3. Light braking over long distances. The skillful technique of light braking over long distances ensures passengers feel no jolt, requiring accurate anticipation of road and traffic conditions ahead. Begin by releasing the accelerator pedal, then perform braking based on distance and speed. 4. Braking on dirt or sandy roads. Braking on dirt or loose gravel surfaces remains hazardous, not just on rural roads but even on urban asphalt surfaces where construction may leave loose soil or sand particles along the edges. Extreme caution is advised when performing emergency braking maneuvers. 5. Preventing "nose-dive" braking. Given sufficient stopping distance, press the brake pedal slowly and continuously to decelerate evenly. As the vehicle comes to a stop, gradually release the brake pedal until fully disengaged when stationary. 6. Hill braking. Uphill braking techniques are similar to those on level ground, but due to the deceleration effect from the vehicle's weight, less braking force is required compared to flat roads. Brake gently uphill, even more so than on level ground, but release the brake pedal quicker to prevent excessive speed loss. For manual transmission vehicles, rapid speed reduction can easily lead to inappropriate gear selection, with too low a gear causing vehicle shuddering. Timely gear shifting after uphill braking is essential. 7. Emergency braking in rain. Exercise caution with emergency braking during rainy conditions. Although most modern vehicles are equipped with ABS systems, significantly reducing wheel lock-up incidents, it's advisable to control speed carefully in wet weather and use emergency braking maneuvers judiciously.

Can I make an appointment immediately after canceling Subject 1?

After canceling the appointment for Subject 1, you can immediately make another appointment. Each student has three opportunities to cancel appointments for each subject, so canceling in advance is a legitimate and reasonable operation and will not affect subsequent exam appointments. The content of the Subject 1 exam includes basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; basic knowledge of safe driving and civilized driving; and basic knowledge related to motor vehicle driving operations. The process for the Subject 1 exam is as follows: First, follow the staff's arrangements to receive your driving training file in order in the waiting area; carry and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer. Note that mobile phones must be turned off when entering the exam area, no loud noise is allowed, and law textbooks are not permitted in the exam area (or must be kept in your bag). After the exam, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the exam room. Students who pass the exam will sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit before leaving the exam room. Students who fail the exam can leave the exam room immediately and wait for notification from their driving school staff about the retake time.
