Driver's license photos cannot be taken with glasses. The requirements for driver's license photos are as follows: 1. No colored glasses, scarves, earrings, or other accessories that obscure facial features are allowed. The face should not have obvious distortion, tilting, turning, heavy makeup, or excessive accessories. 2. The driver's license photo must be a one-inch color photo with a white background, taken within the last 6 months of the applicant. 3. Hair should not be styled in an unusual or multi-colored manner. Temporary hair wax can be used to style hair into a normal state. 4. The photo must be clear and recognizable, with no blurring or significant discrepancies in appearance, as this would make it difficult for traffic police to verify if the license belongs to the holder, defeating the purpose of having a photo on the license. 5. Collared shirts are allowed, but not pointed collars. Standing straight with good posture during the photo can enhance one's appearance and effectively improve personal demeanor.

I once personally experienced the issue of wearing glasses for my driver's license photo. That time at the DMV, I was wearing my prescription glasses when taking the photo, but the staff immediately stopped me. They explained that the photo must be a front-facing, bareheaded shot without glasses, as lenses can easily reflect light or obscure the eye area, affecting the system's ability to recognize identity. They told me that the Ministry of Public Security's regulations require clear facial images to facilitate traffic police verification. When I retook the photo without glasses, it was done in seconds, saving both time and money. Since then, I've advised my friends to confirm the standards in advance to avoid unnecessary trips like mine. Nowadays, many people take photos for convenience, but if the photo doesn't meet requirements, the driver's license application might be delayed, postponing their ability to drive. I often see similar lessons shared online, where people had to retake photos for free or seek guidance to pass. So, safety first—don't take unnecessary risks.

What Causes Soft Brakes in Heavy-Loaded Trucks?

There are several reasons for soft brakes in heavy-loaded trucks: air in the system; excessive free play; poor-quality brake fluid with a low boiling point, causing bubbles during braking; and poor sealing of the master cylinder or wheel cylinders, leading to pressure loss. Below are some tips for driving near large trucks: 1. Avoid truck blind spots: Trucks have large blind spots, especially on the right side. Often, trucks drive in the middle of the road, and if slow vehicles block the fast lane, drivers may attempt to overtake from the truck's right side, which is highly prone to accidents. 2. Dangers of truck turns: When a truck turns, there is a specific term called 'inner wheel difference,' referring to the difference between the front and rear wheels on the turning side. If a car stays in this area, the truck driver may not see it at all. Keep a safe distance.

Why Do Large Trucks Have Many Streamers?

Large trucks have many streamers primarily to water and cool the tires. Due to their heavy loads and long-distance travel, the tires generate significant heat under high pressure. The streamers help sprinkle water to lower the tire temperature, preventing blowouts during travel. Additionally, they serve as a visual aid to indicate the position of the rear wheels, which is particularly helpful for novice drivers. Below are some tips for encountering large trucks on the road: 1. Avoid the truck's blind spots: Trucks have large blind spots, especially on the right side. Often, trucks drive in the middle of the lane, and if slow vehicles block the fast lane, overtaking from the truck's right side becomes necessary, which is highly prone to accidents. 2.
