Can I take the driver's license and motorcycle license tests together?

No. Those who have obtained one type of driver's license (such as a motorcycle license) can only take other types of driver's license tests (e.g., car driver's license) after one year. When registering for and taking the additional license test, applicants must bring their ID card and the previously obtained driver's license. Those who pass the test will be eligible for the additional license. Below is relevant information about driver's licenses: License issuance period: If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of their motor vehicle driver's license, they can renew it for a ten-year validity period. If they continue to have no 12-point accumulations in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, they can renew it for a long-term valid motor vehicle driver's license. Test content: The examination subjects include three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). Each subject requires prior appointment before taking the test (special circumstances may be scheduled through the green channel for driving tests), and the test is taken after the appointment.

Can Motorcycles Be Purchased with Installment Loans?

Motorcycles can be purchased with installment loans. Generally, there are two methods: Credit Card Installment Payment: Bring your income proof and ID card to apply for a credit card directly at the bank. After obtaining the credit card, go to the motorcycle dealership to pay in full by swiping the card, and you can take the motorcycle away. Then, call the bank's service hotline to apply for installment repayment, and deposit money into the card monthly to repay the loan. The advantage of this method is that no down payment is required, and there is no direct relationship with the motorcycle dealership. Later, you only need to repay the credit card. Installment Payment at a Motorcycle Dealership: Typically, you first sign a vehicle purchase contract and pay a deposit at the motorcycle dealership, then go to the bank to complete the procedures, including providing documents and signing loan details. If there are no issues, the bank will issue a loan approval letter to the motorcycle dealership within about 5 working days. Then, you pay the down payment and take the motorcycle. Afterward, you only need to make regular repayments (principal + interest).

Do you have to cross the zebra crossing before making a right turn?

The front of the car must cross the zebra crossing before starting to turn, so as not to touch the solid right-turn line. Here is some additional information: No U-turns on zebra crossings: The purpose of zebra crossings is to guide pedestrians safely across the road, and pedestrians have the right of way on them. U-turns are not allowed on zebra crossings. Even at intersections where U-turns are permitted, the maneuver must be performed after crossing the zebra crossing. Generally, there is a space left for drivers to make a U-turn before reaching the zebra crossing, or they can do so after crossing it. No U-turns when there is no left-turn lane: If the leftmost lane at an intersection is not a U-turn lane or a combined U-turn/left-turn lane but a straight lane, U-turns are not allowed. The leftmost lane for motor vehicles is for straight-through traffic only, and not following lane markings will result in a fine. On highways or urban expressways, not driving in the designated lane will also incur 3 penalty points.

How Early Should You Renew Your Car Insurance?

Normally, commercial insurance can be purchased up to three months in advance, while compulsory traffic insurance can be bought one month ahead. The renewal period varies in different cities, so it's advisable to consult local insurance companies. Compulsory traffic insurance is legally required and takes effect immediately, whereas commercial insurance does not yet offer instant activation. Therefore, the best time to renew is 5 to 10 days before the current policy expires. Key considerations for car insurance renewal: Early renewal is necessary: After the previous policy expires, the new one will take effect immediately, so it's recommended to renew one to two weeks in advance. Choosing an insurance provider: For renewal, it's advisable to select a reputable and large-scale domestic insurance company to avoid potential claim issues.

Is the Vehicle Inspection Fee Refundable if the Inspection Fails?

Typically, the vehicle inspection fee is non-refundable if the inspection fails. Below is relevant information about vehicle inspections: Non-commercial passenger vehicles, including non-commercial cars, small and micro passenger vehicles, are eligible for a 6-year exemption from annual inspections. However, vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats do not qualify for this exemption. Privately owned vehicles registered after September 2012 that meet the criteria can enjoy the exemption policy, but they must undergo an inspection once every year thereafter. Vehicles aged between 6 and 15 years must undergo an annual on-site inspection, while those over 15 years old must be inspected every six months. Handling overdue inspections: Although new vehicles within six years do not require on-site annual inspections, owners must still provide proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance, tax payment or exemption certificates for vehicle and vessel tax, and resolve any traffic violations or accidents before applying for the inspection label from the traffic management department. It is essential to comply with annual inspection requirements. Vehicle inspections can be conducted up to three months in advance, but overdue inspections are not allowed and may result in additional fines. The timing of the vehicle inspection is based on the initial registration date of the vehicle. For example, if the registration date on the vehicle's license is June 2018, the annual inspection should be conducted every June.
