You should not wash snow off a car with warm water. Solutions for snow on a car: The snow on a motor vehicle can be removed with a snow shovel. You can also rinse it with water at 0 degrees Celsius, but this should be done indoors. After rinsing, make sure to thoroughly dry the rinsed areas to prevent freezing when the vehicle is in use. Impact on tires: When driving in snowy conditions, it is necessary to switch to snow tires in a timely manner. Snow tires should not be changed only when it snows; they should be installed when the outside temperature is around 7 degrees Celsius to ensure the driving safety of the motor vehicle. Snow tires become softer at low temperatures, effectively enhancing the safety of the vehicle's operation.

What should be paid attention to when parking?

Different scenarios require different considerations. Pay attention to the following scenarios: 1. Parking in a parking lot: When parking in a parking lot, it is best to have the front of the car facing the aisle to make it easier to exit the parking space. The correct method is to drive towards the parking space you want to enter, align the car body as straight as possible with the parking space, then shift into reverse and back into the empty spot. 2. Parking between buildings: Parking in the aisles between buildings is not difficult, just park close to the side. However, before parking, you should first observe the terrain. Also consider whether your parked car will block other cars from entering or exiting, and whether your car might be blocked by others, making it difficult to exit. 3. Roadside parking: When parallel parking on the roadside, try to stay as close as possible to the right sidewalk, but avoid driving onto it. Leave some space at the front and rear of the car to make it easier for your vehicle to exit and to leave room for other cars to move out. It is best to back into the space to position the car smoothly. When parking on the roadside, first drive past the intended parking space until your car is parallel with the stationary car in front. Then, depending on the size of the parking space, decide on the parallel distance between your car and the one in front. After visually estimating, turn the steering wheel to the right by one and a half turns or more before starting to reverse. When your car's right front light is close to the left rear light of the car in front, begin to straighten and turn the steering wheel to the left. Once the entire car is properly parked in the space, check if it is protruding excessively and make adjustments if necessary. If the parking space is just big enough to accommodate your car, the reversing angle must be larger.

Is it possible to conduct vehicle inspection in a different location now?

Except for large passenger buses and school buses, which cannot be inspected in a different location, all other vehicles can undergo inspection in a different location. Currently, the traffic management authorities have fully implemented cross-province inspection for small cars, trucks, and medium-sized passenger vehicles. Applicants can directly conduct inspections in provinces other than the vehicle registration location and apply for the inspection qualification mark without needing to go through the entrusted inspection procedure. Large passenger buses and school buses cannot be inspected in a different location and must return to the vehicle registration location for inspection. Inspection time requirements: Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection within 6 years. For vehicles over 6 years but less than 10 years, inspection is required every two years; for vehicles over 10 years but less than 15 years, annual inspection is required; for vehicles over 15 years, inspection is required every 6 months. Operational passenger vehicles require annual inspection within 5 years; for vehicles over 5 years, inspection is required every 6 months. Trucks and large and medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles require annual inspection within 10 years; for vehicles over 10 years, inspection is required every 6 months. Imported vehicles, like other vehicle types, can undergo regular inspection at any inspection site. Inspection precautions: Vehicles that fail the inspection must be repaired within a specified time limit. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate their license plates and prohibit further driving. Vehicles that do not participate in the inspection without reason or fail the inspection are not allowed to drive on the road and cannot be transferred. Vehicles that meet the scrapping conditions or have exceeded the prescribed service life will not be inspected, and their license plates will be revoked, their files canceled, and they will be scrapped.
