Yes, if new license plates have been issued, the temporary license plates become useless. Even if picked up by others, they hold no legal validity. Here are some precautions regarding temporary license plates: Validity period of temporary license plates: Temporary license plates have an expiration date, and using them beyond this period may result in vehicle impoundment, fines, and penalty points. The validity period for temporary license plates within administrative jurisdictions is typically 7-12 days, while those for cross-jurisdictional use vary from 1 to 30 days. Accident compensation:

I also got a temporary license plate when I bought my car, and you really can't just throw it away after use. Because it contains the vehicle identification number and your personal information, such as name and address. If someone picks it up, they might use it for fraud or car theft identity. I always keep it carefully as a record of the car, or tear it into tiny pieces before throwing it in the trash—never throw it away whole. Last time, a friend didn't handle it properly and later received harassing calls—a pretty serious lesson. Before driving, you need to think carefully about these small details—safety first.

As someone who frequently handles automotive matters, I've encountered too many cases where clients casually discard temporary license plates, leading to issues. Although small, these plates contain sensitive data like VIN numbers, making them prime targets for malicious use if thrown away carelessly. My advice is to first take photos for records after use, then shred them or store them in a safe. Always handle vehicle documents with caution—protecting privacy is fundamental. Don't underestimate the importance of this.

Hey, don't just throw away expired temporary license plates carelessly. As someone who's been driving for decades, I've seen it all. Those papers contain your vehicle details and personal information – someone could pick them up and impersonate you for shady purposes. Better to shred them or burn them in a boiler for maximum security. One simple step saves you from potential headaches later.

How to Adjust the Air-Fuel Mixture When the Motorcycle Spark Plug Turns Black?

Motorcycle spark plug turns black method to adjust the air-fuel mixture: First, gently turn the mixture screw clockwise all the way in, then turn it counterclockwise one and a half turns; this should be approximately the correct mixture position. For more precise adjustment, first adjust the idle speed to around 1000 RPM, then finely adjust the mixture screw left and right. During adjustment, the idle speed will increase or decrease. Adjust it to the point where the idle speed is the highest. Then, lower the idle speed back to what you consider appropriate. At this point, if you turn the mixture screw either clockwise or counterclockwise, the RPM should decrease. This indicates the optimal air-fuel mixture has been achieved.

Does one-touch window control operate all four windows?

One-touch window control in cars can operate all four windows. Relevant details are as follows: How to use one-touch window control: Cars equipped with one-touch window control have a two-stage window switch. The first stage works like a regular power window—you need to hold the switch until the window reaches the desired position, then release to stop the movement. The second stage allows you to simply press and release the switch, and the window will automatically open or close completely. Advantages of one-touch window control: This feature is typically found in mid-to-high-end models, primarily for the convenience of drivers and passengers, reducing distractions and improving safety. One-touch windows usually come with an anti-pinch function. If an object is detected between the glass and the window frame during automatic closing, the window will stop and reverse to its initial position.

Is it okay to keep the clutch at half-engagement while reversing?

Yes, but it is not recommended to operate this way for extended periods. Clutch half-engagement refers to the state where the clutch friction disc is just pressed against the flywheel when the clutch pedal is partially released, stopping at an unstable, non-fully engaged position. This allows the engine to maintain operation while partially transferring power in a slipping state, which is a primary cause of clutch wear. The clutch friction disc is a consumable part, but good driving habits can effectively reduce clutch wear and extend its service life. Methods to identify the half-engagement point during hill starts: 1. Change in engine sound: When the clutch reaches the half-engagement point, the engine begins transferring power to the drivetrain, consuming engine power and causing a noticeable drop in RPM and sound. This indicates the clutch has reached the half-engagement point. 2. Foot sensation: At the half-engagement point, the clutch pedal will produce a slight resistance against the foot, confirming the clutch is at the half-engagement position.
