No appointment is required for annual vehicle inspection at the DMV. Vehicle inspection process: Vehicle inspection stations can be found in the city's motor vehicle safety technology inspection supervision information network system. Locate the nearest inspection station, bring all required documents, and proceed for annual inspection. Fill out forms: you'll need to complete two forms - the Motor Vehicle License Plate Application Form and the Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form, using a carbon pen. Find the annual inspection registration window to submit and review materials. Then proceed to the violation inquiry window. If there are any violations, settle the fines here. Next, a inspector will conduct an exterior inspection of your vehicle, requiring you to open the hood to verify the VIN. The inspector will provide a signed inspection approval page. Proceed to the inspection fee payment window to receive an invoice. Then go to the inspection registration window where all materials will be kept. You can then drive to the inspection workshop. Queue for inspection as directed. After inspection, you'll receive an inspection report. Return to the service hall with this report, submit it to Window 5 to retrieve all documents (already stapled together), and sign as required. Submit these documents to Window 1 along with your vehicle license, where the clerk will issue the annual inspection sticker and update the new inspection date on the back of the duplicate license. About vehicle annual inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to mandatory testing for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It's essentially an annual physical examination for vehicles conducted according to motor vehicle operational safety technical standards.

How to Handle Skidding?

When a car skids, the first step is to firmly hold the steering wheel, reduce the throttle as necessary, and quickly determine the nature of the skid, such as whether it is front-wheel or rear-wheel skidding. If the skid is caused by braking: Immediately release the brake. If the speed is not very high, based on experience, you can decisively depress the clutch and cautiously use "pump braking" to achieve the goal of deceleration. When skidding occurs while turning the steering wheel: This is usually related to the driver making abrupt steering movements or driving at a high speed. In such cases, the skid often manifests as "rear-wheel bilateral skidding," which is more dangerous and harder to handle. Apart from road and vehicle conditions, it depends on the driver's emergency response skills and experience. The handling procedure is as follows: firmly hold the steering wheel, gradually reduce the throttle (do not brake or shift gears), immediately steer in the direction of the skid to reduce the skidding force and prevent the vehicle from continuing to slide toward the roadside; then, depending on the situation, adjust the steering to gradually eliminate the skid and resume normal driving.

What does RPT mean in car audio?

The "RPT" button in a car stands for loop playback or repeat playback, which can also be understood as single-track repeat. "RPT" is the abbreviation of the English word "Repeat," meaning to repeat or replay. Its corresponding function button is "RDM," short for "Random," which means shuffle playback. Single-track repeat and shuffle playback are presumably easy to understand, just like the music player on a mobile phone. Here is an introduction to car audio: 1. In car audio equipment, integrated radio and tape players have been widely adopted. 2. When a tape is inserted into the slot, the tape player starts working. When the Eject button on the operation panel is pressed, the tape automatically ejects, and the tape player stops working. 3. The radio does not work when the tape player is in operation. The operation buttons on the front panel have dual functions. The tape player features fast forward, rewind, side A/B switching, and loop playback, among other functions.

How to ventilate when you can't open the windows while driving in the rain?

When you can't open the windows while driving in the rain, you can turn on the fan or open the sunroof. Here are the specific methods: 1. Turn on the fan: Switch to the cold air position and turn on the fan, but do not press the AC button. Select the external circulation mode, which allows fresh outside air to directly enter the car. 2. Open the sunroof: If your car has a sunroof, you can open it slightly. When driving at high speeds, opening the sunroof creates negative pressure on the roof, which helps draw out stale air from the car. While driving forward, due to headwind, a small amount of air will enter the car through the air conditioning ducts, generally not causing oxygen deprivation. However, if the car is well-sealed and the occupants are not in good health, prolonged driving under such conditions may inadvertently lead to feelings of stuffiness and fatigue. If you feel the air is fresher after getting out of the car after a long drive, it actually indicates oxygen deprivation.

What to Do When a Vehicle Stalls Due to Flooding Caused by Heavy Rain?

When driving through flooded areas, avoid slamming on the brakes. Instead, opt for downshifting to reduce speed and prevent water from flowing back into the engine. If the vehicle stalls, occupants should immediately exit the vehicle and move to higher ground. Do not stay inside the car or attempt to push the vehicle during heavy rain. After relocating to a safe, elevated area, contact emergency services or your insurance provider for assistance. Here are some tips for driving through waterlogged roads during rainy conditions: 1. Reduce Speed: When navigating flooded sections, first downshift to lower your speed. Maintain a steady engine speed of around 4,000 RPM to ensure smooth and consistent vehicle movement. 2. Control the Throttle: Be sure to control the throttle carefully. Avoid pressing it aggressively, as this can increase resistance, cause tire slippage, and potentially draw water into the engine due to a sudden surge in air intake.
