You can obtain a driver's license while serving in the military. Below is relevant information about getting a driver's license during military service: Military Driver's License: Every military unit (even some division or brigade-level units) has a driver training team (battalion). Soldiers can obtain a driver's license (military Class B license), but the number of slots allocated to each unit annually is limited, making the competition quite intense. Driving in the military requires a military driver's license, which must be converted to a civilian license after discharge. Learning to drive in the military is free. After joining the military, if you are assigned to a motor transport unit or participate in driver training during service, you can learn to drive. Military Vehicle Use: Those who hold a military or armed police force motor vehicle driver's license, or a foreign motor vehicle driver's license, and meet the application requirements of the regulations, can apply for a corresponding motor vehicle driver's license.

I served in the military for several years, so this is a very practical question. In the military, it is indeed possible to obtain a driver's license, but it depends on the specific circumstances. Most military units allow soldiers to enroll in driving schools during leave or on weekends, as soldiers also have personal time management. I used my leave to obtain a C1 driver's license back then, and the process wasn’t too complicated. First, I got a certificate from my unit, then took leave to register at the local vehicle management office. The only things to keep in mind are adhering to military discipline—ensuring daily training isn’t affected—and avoiding distractions from driving during training periods. Actually, getting a driver's license in the military is quite convenient. There are usually driving school cooperation points near military bases, and the fees might even be discounted. I’d advise my fellow soldiers to act early—having a driver's license can be a big help when transitioning to civilian jobs, such as driving taxis or working as drivers, making life more flexible.

How to Determine Thermostat Failure?

Methods to determine thermostat failure are as follows: 1. Open the filler cap of the coolant reservoir and observe if there is any water flow inside. If not, it indicates that the thermostat is damaged or there is debris stuck between the main valve switch. 2. Remove the thermostat from the vehicle and place it in boiling water to observe if it opens as the water temperature rises. 3. Start the engine and after 3 minutes, feel the upper and lower radiator hoses. If the thermostat is functioning properly, the upper and lower hoses will have different temperatures—typically, the upper hose will be hot and the lower hose will be cool. The thermostat is a valve that controls the flow path of the coolant, serving as an automatic temperature-regulating device. It usually contains a temperature-sensitive component that opens or closes the flow of air, gas, or liquid through thermal expansion or contraction.

What is the principle of the clutch?

Clutch works as follows: The torque generated by the engine is transmitted to the driven plate through the friction between the flywheel, pressure plate, and the contact surface of the driven plate. When the driver depresses the clutch pedal, the diaphragm spring's large end moves the pressure plate backward through mechanical transmission, separating the driven part from the driving part. During vehicle operation, the driver can depress or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine with the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmission systems, allowing the drivetrain to be disconnected or engaged at any time.

Can the 'Study to Reduce Points' Program Be Used to Deduct Points from Parents' Driver's Licenses?

The 'Study to Reduce Points' program cannot be used to deduct points from parents' driver's licenses; learners can only reduce points on their own driver's licenses. Within one scoring cycle, a maximum of 6 points can be reduced. There are three ways to reduce points through the program: 1) Participating in online learning (accumulating at least 30 minutes within 3 days) and passing the exam can reduce 1 point at a time; 2) Participating in on-site learning (each session must be at least 1 hour) and passing the exam can reduce 2 points at a time; 3) Participating in traffic safety public welfare activities (1 hour per session) can reduce 1 point at a time. There are 7 situations in which one cannot apply for the 'Study to Reduce Points' program: 1) Within the current scoring cycle, the driver has two or more full-point records or has accumulated 12 points; 2) In the previous scoring cycle, the driver had two or more full-point records; 3) In the most recent three scoring cycles, the driver was penalized for hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving, using forged or altered vehicle license plates, driving licenses, school bus signs, or other vehicle license plates or driving licenses, or buying/selling points; 4) The driver's license is in the probationary period, overdue for inspection, or has been seized or suspended; 5) The driver has unresolved traffic violation records; 6) The driver has vehicles with overdue safety inspections or vehicles not deregistered as required; 7) The driver engaged in fraudulent activities or impersonation while participating in traffic safety education to reduce points or during full-point education and inspection exams.

Where is the fuse box of the Bora located?

It is located at the top left side of the instrument panel and can be seen after opening the driver's door. The fuses inside the fuse box serve to prevent current overload. In case of an electrical fault in the vehicle, such as excessive current, the fuse will automatically blow to avoid fire hazards. Below are the steps to replace a fuse: 1. Turn off the ignition switch and the corresponding electrical appliance. 2. Insert a flat object (e.g., a screwdriver) into the groove on the outside of the fuse box and carefully pry open the cover. 3. Remove the relevant fuse. 4. If the fuse is blown (metal strip melted), replace it with a new fuse of the same specification (color and markings must match). 5. After replacing the fuse, make sure to reattach the cover properly.
