Currently, vehicle annual inspections can be processed online in most regions, but online inspections are only applicable to vehicles eligible for the 6-year exemption. Exempt vehicles do not require on-site testing for the first 6 years as new cars; they only need to apply for the inspection exemption mark. Vehicles that have exceeded the 6-year exemption period or are not exempt must undergo on-site testing and therefore cannot complete the annual inspection online. Relevant information about vehicle annual inspections is as follows: 1. Introduction: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained a formal license plate and registration certificate, equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." 2. Purpose: Vehicle annual inspections can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.

I just handled my vehicle annual inspection on the 12123 App a few days ago. It helps you book inspection station appointments, upload documents, and check progress, which is quite convenient. However, the actual inspection can't be done online – you must drive to an offline inspection station to check your car's performance, including safety items like brakes, lights, and emissions. After booking, I went to the inspection site and completed the whole process in half an hour. It's crucial to check your vehicle in advance to ensure everything is in order, otherwise you might be sent back to redo it. Safe driving comes first—don’t skip this step out of laziness. Annual inspections are stricter now, so make sure to prepare your vehicle license and ID card to avoid any issues.

As an average car owner, I've been exploring the usage of the 12123 website after purchasing my vehicle. It allows you to schedule annual inspection times and displays nearby testing locations, helping you avoid unnecessary trips. However, the actual hardware inspection must be performed manually offline; the website can't complete physical testing. A friend advised me to book early to avoid peak hours and save queuing time. Since annual inspections affect insurance and driving safety, I plan to change the engine oil and check the lights in advance. If you're unfamiliar with the process, 12123 provides guideline tutorials—just follow them and you'll be fine.

The core of the 12123 platform is vehicle management services. You can use it to schedule annual inspections, pay fees, and track results, but it cannot replace the physical inspection process. Regulations require offline testing of vehicle conditions to ensure safety. The system is designed to simplify the appointment process, such as one-click selection of time and location, but actual inspections require professional equipment and manual operation. Expired annual inspections may result in fines, so it is recommended to regularly use this tool to manage your schedule.

Our family just completed the annual vehicle inspection. I used the 12123 platform to book an inspection station appointment, which reduced unnecessary trips. However, key tests like emissions and lighting inspections must be conducted on-site, as they cannot be completed virtually through the website. Driving with an expired inspection affects insurance claims and increases road risks. I utilized the 12123 reminder feature to schedule my appointment and avoid forgetting. Performing pre-inspection checks on tires and brake pads helps ensure a smooth process – safety first, don't delay.

What is the Difference Between Officially Imported Cars and Parallel Imported Cars?

Here is an introduction to the differences between officially imported cars and parallel imported cars: 1. Difference one: "Officially imported cars" are vehicles supplied by the manufacturer to the Chinese market in accordance with national regulations, collectively referred to as "regular imported vehicles that comply with China's national safety standards"; so-called "parallel imported cars" are mostly products imported into the Chinese market through unconventional cross-border channels, with the biggest difference being that the cars are cheaper but do not come with original factory warranties. 2. Difference two: "Officially imported cars" must legally bear the original factory warranty in accordance with China's national mandatory regulations, otherwise they will face penalties such as suspension of imports; while so-called "parallel imported cars" (or small batches) are imported by applicants or import units according to their own usage principles after applying to the national import regulatory authorities, and they must declare that they will bear the risks of vehicle use themselves before import, in other words, they are responsible for maintenance, warranty, and whether the vehicle can be licensed.

How to Shift to Third Gear?

When shifting gears, you need to start by pressing the clutch in neutral, then press the clutch to shift into first gear. Slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator as the car begins to move. To shift into second gear, simply release the accelerator, press the clutch, and shift into second gear. Repeat these steps to shift into third and fourth gears. Below is some relevant information about shifting gears in a car: 1. Accelerate Before Shifting: When upshifting, it's necessary to gently press the accelerator before shifting. The purpose of accelerating first is to ensure the engine has sufficient power, maintaining the car's speed during the upshift. However, the accelerator should be released quickly after the initial press. 2. Accurate Downshifting Timing: When the vehicle's speed and engine RPM continue to drop, and you feel the car losing power or the engine compartment starts to vibrate, it's time to downshift. Downshifting too early can cause noticeable jerking, wasting engine power, increasing fuel consumption, and potentially affecting the lifespan of the engine and transmission.

Why does the BMW 5 Series fan keep running?

BMW 5 Series fan keeps running because in summer when the ambient temperature is higher, the electric fan needs to operate at a higher speed compared to other seasons to dissipate the heat generated by the radiator. When the air conditioning is turned on, the electric fan is required to operate. When the water temperature continues to rise, the fan needs to run at an even higher speed to ensure proper air conditioning cooling and normal engine operating temperature, which naturally makes the fan noise louder. The car radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, is a key component in the car's cooling system. Its function is to dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator to release the heat, and then returns to the water jacket to circulate, achieving temperature regulation. It is an integral part of the car engine. The BMW 5 Series has body dimensions of 5087mm in length, 1868mm in width, and 1500mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3108mm.
