No, everyone knows that domestic vehicles must have license plates to be driven on the road, and to obtain a license plate, the corresponding taxes and fees must be paid, along with providing the vehicle's qualification certificate. These smuggled vehicles lack the necessary documentation, making it impossible to obtain a license plate, and thus the vehicle naturally cannot be driven on the road. Expansion: Regarding smuggled vehicles, there are two explanations. One is that they cannot be registered due to tax evasion, hence they are called 'water vehicles,' similar to how 'water goods' like iPhones are smuggled from Hong Kong. The second explanation is that these vehicles are luxury cars from Europe, America, and the Middle East that cannot be directly imported into the country through customs. Instead, they are transported via waterways to neighboring countries and then smuggled across the border. Purchasing smuggled vehicles is already suspected of constituting the crime of smuggling ordinary goods, with sentencing based on the amount of tax evaded.

How to Determine When Engine Oil Should Be Changed?

Here are the methods to determine when engine oil should be changed: 1. Observe with an oil test paper. Take a small amount of oil from the dipstick and drip it onto the oil test paper, then let it sit overnight, waiting for the oil to fully diffuse on the paper. The harder the edges between the oil ring, sediment ring, and diffusion ring, the more the oil performance has degraded. 2. Judge based on the driving feel after an oil change. Engine oil performance has a 'shelf life.' At a certain point, if you feel the power is 'sluggish' and acceleration is slower, it indicates the oil's 'shelf life' has been reached, and it's time to change the oil. Additionally, if you notice a significant improvement in power after changing the oil, it means the last oil change interval was a bit too long. Next time, you can consider changing the oil 500 kilometers earlier. After 1-2 times, you can find a more accurate oil change interval. A reminder to everyone: when changing the oil, it's best to replace the oil filter as well. The oil filter's role is to trap impurities in the oil. If not replaced in time, accumulated impurities can cause blockages. At best, it may lead to insufficient oil pressure and poor lubrication of mechanical parts; at worst, it can cause excessive engine wear.

How to Turn Off the Radio in a Buick Car?

Here are the steps to turn off the radio in a Buick car: 1. Remove the memory card and insert it into a computer using a card reader. 2.

Locate the file starting with FM (with a .dll extension; some computers may not display the extension if not configured, but we won't delve into that here). You can choose to delete this file or change its extension to another name, such as .txt, for easy retrieval if you want it back later. 5. Reinsert the navigation memory card back into the navigation device.

Why does the steering wheel pull to one side?

The reasons why the steering wheel pulls to one side are as follows: Tire pressure issues: If the tire pressure on both sides is unbalanced, the vehicle will naturally pull toward the side with lower pressure when driving on a flat road. Tire wear: It is necessary to rotate the tires regularly because the drive tires wear out faster than the others. Neglecting this can cause the vehicle to pull to one side. Uneven tread wear on both sides can also lead to steering pull. Steering system abnormalities: For example, bending or deformation of the steering knuckle arm or steering knuckle can generally cause the vehicle to pull to one side. The most severe case is when the tie rod end ball joints become severely worn and loosen, which will result in steering failure, causing the vehicle to completely lose control.
