Vehicle inspection can be handled by someone else as long as they have the vehicle registration certificate and the current year's compulsory traffic insurance policy. The agent needs to bring their own ID card, the vehicle owner's ID card, and the driver's license. Below is an introduction to vehicle inspection: 1. Vehicle inspection regulations: Passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years, and every 6 months after 5 years. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years, and every 6 months after 10 years. 2. Vehicle inspection precautions: (1) The compulsory traffic insurance policy must be valid. (2) Bring all possible required documents and files. (3) Bring a triangular warning sign and a fire extinguisher. (4) If the vehicle body has been modified or has non-compliant stickers, clean them up before the annual inspection.

Last time when my car was due for the annual inspection, I happened to be on a business trip, so I asked a good friend to handle it for me. He brought the necessary materials including a copy of my ID card, the original vehicle license, and the compulsory traffic insurance policy, which were sufficient at the inspection station. The station didn’t specifically require a power of attorney, but I later heard it’s better to prepare a written authorization letter signed by me to confirm the delegation, just to avoid any issues. The whole process was quite smooth, taking less than two hours, and included checks on headlight brightness, brake performance, and exhaust emissions. The key point is that the authorized person must bring their original ID card to verify their identity. This kind of thing is quite common, mainly to save everyone’s time, but don’t ask strangers to do it—protecting privacy is important. Remember to check the specific requirements of the inspection station in advance and adapt accordingly for more security.

Having driven for so many years and helped numerous relatives and friends with vehicle inspections, my experience tells me it's entirely feasible. The vehicle owner needs to prepare a copy of their ID card, the vehicle registration certificate, and valid insurance documents. The authorized person should bring their own ID card along with these materials directly to the inspection station. Some places may require a simple letter of authorization, stating the owner's information and the name of the authorized person, with a signature. I recommend going early to avoid peak hours. The inspection items include lighting functions, tire wear, and brake performance, ensuring road safety. The whole process isn't difficult, but the key is not to overlook any details in the materials, or you might make a wasted trip. The advantage of having someone else handle it is saving time, but the owner should verify the reliability of the authorized person beforehand to avoid any mishaps. Regular vehicle maintenance can also make the annual inspection go more smoothly.

As I'm older and have mobility issues, my son always handles the vehicle inspection for me. It's allowed to have someone else do it, but key documents must be prepared: a copy of my ID card, the original vehicle license, insurance policy, plus my son's own ID. We previously prepared a simple power of attorney stating the situation, signed and stamped by me. The inspection takes about an hour, checking basic items like lights and brake systems. The key point is not to be careless—the entrusted person must be trustworthy. Though vehicle inspection seems minor, it's crucial for safety. If you really can't go, entrust relatives or friends, but ensure all materials are complete to avoid hassle.

How to Deal with Excessive Exhaust Gas from a Car Engine?

Methods for handling abnormally excessive exhaust gas: If the exhaust gas is abnormally excessive, the solution is to take the car to a repair shop for inspection and maintenance. Car owners should promptly visit a repair shop for a check-up to prevent more serious faults. Common causes of excessive exhaust gas formation: 1. Incorrect adjustment of fuel injection timing: If the fuel injection timing is too late, the fuel cannot be completely burned, resulting in the emission of large amounts of black smoke. 2. Excessive gap between the cylinder and piston: Too much engine oil enters the cylinder, especially during splash lubrication, where a significant amount of oil seeps into the cylinder. 3. High-temperature gas from the cylinder leaks into the oil pan: This causes the engine oil to deteriorate, become contaminated, and thin, affecting lubrication efficiency and leading to excessive exhaust gas. 4. Severe wear of piston rings or cylinder liners: This results in poor sealing between the piston and cylinder liner, ultimately causing severe exhaust gas emission from the car's side breather, insufficient power in diesel engines, and possibly blue smoke emission.

What is the difference between the left and right fuel filler openings?

The differences between the left and right fuel filler openings are as follows: 1. Balancing vehicle weight: Some car manufacturers pay close attention to the weight distribution of the vehicle body. Since the driver's weight is a fixed load inside the car, as long as the vehicle is driven on the driver's side, it will bear the driver's weight. To achieve a balanced effect, the fuel tank is placed on the opposite side. 2. Safety considerations: For vehicles that drive on the right side of the road, the fuel filler opening is designed on the right side, which is opposite to the driver's seat. This avoids vehicles passing behind the fuel attendant, thereby protecting the safety of the fuel attendant. 3. Driving direction designation: The position of the fuel filler opening and the driver's seat is generally designed diagonally. This means that the design of the fuel filler opening is directly related to whether the vehicle is driven on the left or right side of the road in different countries.

What Are the Hazards of Leaving a Car Unused for a Long Time?

Here are the hazards of leaving a car unused for a long time: 1. Accelerated engine wear: When a vehicle remains parked for an extended period, the lubricating oil film on the surfaces of the engine cylinders and pistons can deteriorate due to exposure to oxygen and other corrosive acidic and alkaline components in the air. This forms a gummy substance that loses its lubricating properties. Upon restarting the engine, dry or semi-dry friction occurs between the cylinders and pistons, accelerating component wear. Additionally, the starting resistance significantly increases, making it difficult to start the engine. 2. Tire deformation: When a car is parked, its weight is borne by the parts of the four tires in contact with the ground, causing these contact areas to compress and deform. The longer the car remains unused, the harder it is for the deformed areas to recover, altering the mass distribution around the tires and resulting in uneven rolling radii. This imbalance can cause body vibrations during high-speed driving, affecting ride comfort, accelerating tire wear, and introducing safety risks.

What Does All-Wheel Steering System Mean?

All-wheel steering system, also known as four-wheel steering system, refers to the rear wheels having similar steering functions as the front wheels. They can not only steer in the same direction as the front wheels but also in the opposite direction. Additional information: I. Main functions of all-wheel steering system: 1. Improve the operational stability of the vehicle during high-speed driving or under lateral wind conditions. 2. Enhance the vehicle's responsiveness to steering inputs across the entire speed range. 3. Improve maneuverability at low speeds and reduce the turning radius of the vehicle, enhancing mobility. II. Classification of all-wheel steering systems: 1. Based on the relationship between the deflection angle of front and rear wheels and vehicle speed, they can be divided into two types: angle-sensing type and speed-sensing type. 2. According to the power form of the wheel deflection actuator, they can be categorized into three types: hydraulic four-wheel steering system, mechanical-hydraulic four-wheel steering system, and electronically controlled four-wheel steering system.
