Can I use my own photo for a driver's license?

You can use your own photo, but it is not recommended. Here is relevant information: After passing the test: First, after passing the driver's license test, when applying for the license, the licensing office will usually take your photo. There is a somewhat cumbersome process where the photo needs to be reviewed and approved through an official platform to generate a photo receipt. If you need to take your own photo, the staff or driving school instructor will inform you. If they don't mention it, just follow the standard procedure. Receiving the license: When collecting your driver's license, you do not need to bring a passport photo because the photo for the license was already submitted when you registered at the driving school. There is no need to submit another photo for the license; you only need to participate in the license collection oath ceremony. For the photo submitted during driving school registration, you can bring your own, but it must have an electronic version since the photo needs to be uploaded online. Normally, the photo is taken on-site when registering at the driving school, but specific requirements may vary depending on the driving school.

I've been driving for over 20 years and have plenty of experience renewing my driver's license. Every time I go to the DMV, I can't take my own photo—it has to be taken at a designated spot. Official requirements specify that the photo must be uniform in size, with a pure white background, facing forward without a hat or glasses, to prevent identity fraud or misuse. If you take it yourself with a phone, poor lighting can make it blurry, and incorrect dimensions might cause the system to fail recognition. Last year, my neighbor tried using a travel selfie for a new license and got rejected—it took two tries to get it right. Nowadays, DMVs have professional machines that upload and verify photos instantly, making it convenient and secure. Don't skip this step—just book an appointment and get it done on-site to save time and avoid disputes.

Does Canceling the Subject One Exam Reservation Have Any Impact?

Canceling the reservation for the Subject One exam will not affect future reservations. Each subject allows for three cancellation opportunities. Additional details are as follows: 1. Driver's License Exam Reservation Rules: For the first-time reservation of the Subject One exam, the order is determined by the acceptance time. If canceled due to personal reasons after a successful reservation, the order is based on the cancellation time. For non-first-time reservations, the order is determined by the last exam time. Cancellations not due to personal reasons (e.g., power outages or network failures at the exam center preventing normal completion of the exam) do not change the ranking time. 2. Exceeding Five Reservations: If an applicant schedules the Subject One exam for a driver's license online, the number of daily online reservations cannot exceed five. If the reservation is unsuccessful within five attempts, the applicant's reservation system will be locked by the DMV system, preventing further reservations. Therefore, applicants must be cautious not to exceed five reservations. If the reservation system is locked due to exceeding five attempts, the applicant must visit the DMV to unlock it.

What does the wrench symbol on the Geely Emgrand dashboard mean?

Geely Emgrand dashboard wrench symbol is a maintenance reminder light. Its function is to remind the owner to perform maintenance on the car after it has been driven for a certain mileage or time. If the car is under normal maintenance and has not reached the maintenance interval, the small wrench light flashes, or the small wrench light flashes shortly after maintenance, then you need to manually clear the small wrench light. The actual elimination process is as follows: Turn off the ignition switch; At the same time, press the two arrow symbol buttons, then turn on the ignition switch; After the ignition switch is turned on for about 3 seconds, release the two arrow symbol buttons; At this time, the display will show a maintenance menu bar, asking whether to reset; Press the SET (reset) button for more than 3 seconds; Press the MODE (mode) button; Turn off the ignition switch to complete the reset.

What tires are compatible with the 9090-12 tire?

The 900/90-12 tire model is interchangeable with 80/100-12, 80/90-12, 3.0-12, 90/70-12, and others. 80/90 and 90/90 represent the width of the tire, while the number 12 indicates the tire diameter. As long as the tire diameter is the same, variations in tire width (thicker or thinner) will not affect normal driving. Therefore, these two types of tires can be interchanged and are compatible. Below is an introduction to tire specifications: 1. Tire width: The wider the tire, the larger the contact area with the ground. This increases the friction between the tire and the road during driving, which can negatively impact fuel efficiency. However, increased friction also enhances wet traction performance and improves tire drainage, thereby boosting driving safety in rainy conditions. 2. Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio is the percentage of the tire's cross-sectional height divided by its width. A higher value means a thicker tire, which reduces maneuverability but improves comfort. Generally, ordinary cars should not use tires with an aspect ratio greater than 75%, while luxury cars and high-performance sports cars are recommended to use tires with an aspect ratio below 60%. 3. Letters R and H: In tire specifications, you may notice two letters alongside numbers. R stands for the tire type (radial tire), and H represents the speed rating. The speed rating indicates the maximum speed a tire can sustain under specified conditions with a given load. For example, V denotes a maximum speed of 240 km/h (refer to the speed rating chart for details).

How to Determine if the Reversing Camera is Broken?

If the central display screen of the car does not show any image when reversing, or if there are shadows in the image, it usually indicates that the reversing camera is broken. There are many reasons why the car reversing image may not display, for example: 1. Car battery is dead: The display screen of the car reversing image is powered by the car battery. When the car battery is dead, the reversing image naturally does not display. 2. Poor connection of the connecting wire: If the connecting wire between the camera and the car display screen is detached, it will also cause the reversing image not to display. In this case, simply reinstalling the connecting wire will suffice. 3. Poor contact of the switch: Similar to the second step, this situation requires reinstalling the switch.

What are the solutions when the car battery is dead and the car won't start?

When the car battery is dead and the car won't start, you can replace the car battery or use jumper cables to transfer power. Here are some maintenance methods for car batteries: 1. In-car electricity usage: To maintain the car battery, avoid activities like listening to the radio loudly, charging mobile phones, or using air pumps when the engine is off. Prolonged use of these features can drain the battery, and frequent depletion significantly reduces the battery's lifespan. 2. Long-distance highway driving: Regular highway driving has many benefits. It not only helps remove carbon deposits from the vehicle but also fully charges the battery. Generally, driving on the highway for more than an hour can fully charge the car battery, keeping it in optimal condition. 3. Avoid prolonged vehicle inactivity: If the car won't be used for an extended period, disconnect the battery cables or start the vehicle every two weeks and drive several dozen kilometers to ensure the battery remains functional. 4. Connection of high-power electrical devices: Many modern car accessories, such as car refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, and air pumps, have high instantaneous power consumption. Avoid powering these devices directly from the car battery. Instead, start the vehicle first before connecting any electrical equipment.

What is the fuel consumption of the Enclave Plus?

The fuel consumption of the Enclave Plus is 7.4 to 7.8L. Not maintaining the engine leads to high fuel consumption: Abnormalities in the engine ignition system also significantly affect fuel consumption. Issues such as inaccurate ignition timing, leaking high-voltage wires, and weak ignition due to spark plug carbon buildup can reduce engine combustion efficiency and increase fuel consumption. Additionally, poor engine maintenance can lead to a 10% or 20% increase in fuel consumption, which is considered normal according to statistics. Using the trunk as storage increases fuel consumption: The relationship between vehicle weight and fuel consumption is directly proportional. It is said that for every 10% reduction in vehicle weight, fuel consumption will correspondingly decrease by several percentage points.
