Commercial vehicles are not limited to being driven only by the owner. Any driver with a road transport professional qualification certificate can operate a commercial vehicle. Commercial vehicles and their operators are separate entities, and there is no binding between the vehicle's commercial license and the driver's road transport professional qualification certificate. When applying to become a commercial driver, the applicant must possess a motor vehicle driver's license and a non-professional driver training completion certificate. To apply for a professional qualification certificate for large passenger vehicles or articulated vehicles, in addition to the above requirements, other conditions must be met. For example, to apply for a large passenger vehicle qualification certificate, the applicant must have held a Class A license for more than two years; to apply for an articulated vehicle qualification certificate, the applicant must have held a Class B license for more than two years. Vehicles engaged in road transport activities for profit-making purposes can be referred to as commercial vehicles. These include vehicles that generate and obtain economic benefits through transport related to business activities, such as taxis, contracted minibuses, private large dump trucks, and small trucks.

I've been driving commercial vehicles for several years, and people often ask about this. The owner doesn't necessarily have to drive the commercial vehicle themselves. According to the law, as long as the driver has the corresponding professional qualification certificate and driver's license, it's acceptable. For example, truck drivers need a B2 license, and taxi drivers require a service certificate. Owners can hire professional drivers or engage in cooperative operations to improve operational efficiency. In practice, it's common for fleets to have day and night shift rotations, but safety comes first—regular training and inspections are essential. Ignoring the rules can easily lead to accidents, and insurance may refuse to pay, leaving the owner to cover fines. The key is to register the vehicle's purpose with the vehicle management office and ensure drivers have the necessary documents to avoid trouble. These regulations ensure road safety, giving owners peace of mind and the opportunity to earn more.

How to Check Tire Pressure in the Honda Avancier?

In the latest Honda Avancier models, when the vehicle detects abnormal tire pressure, a warning to check tire pressure will appear on the dashboard. Resetting the tire pressure light no longer follows the traditional method. The tire pressure light can be cleared in the vehicle settings on the central control screen by locating the "Tire Pressure Monitoring System Calibration" option. Additional Information: 1. Tire Pressure Check Notes: Remember to check tire pressure at least once a month. Avoid checking immediately after driving; wait until the tires are in a cold state before measuring pressure. Do not reduce tire pressure when the tires are hot. Adjust tire pressure accordingly when the vehicle is under heavy load. 2. Daily Precautions: Avoid rapid acceleration or high-speed cornering. Regularly inspect the wear level of the tires.

How to Align the Car Properly When Exiting the Parking Space?

To determine if the car body is aligned, ensure it remains parallel to the horizontal lines on both sides of the parking space. Make timely adjustments if it is not aligned. Below are several scenarios where the car body may be misaligned: 1. Parallel parking: When straightening the car after entering the space, turning the steering wheel too late can cause misalignment; failing to stop in time after entering the space can also lead to misalignment. Additionally, reversing into the space without proper observation can make it difficult to correct the misalignment once noticed. 2. Reverse parking: Driving too fast during reverse parking can cause misalignment; not accurately identifying reference points can also result in misalignment. 3. Hill start: Failing to align the car body properly before ascending the hill can lead to misalignment.
