C1 to C2 is a downgrade of the driver's license, so the written test (Subject 1) does not need to be retaken. The differences between C1 and C2 are as follows: 1. Definition: A C1 license refers to a manual transmission driver's license, while a C2 license refers to an automatic transmission driver's license. 2. Eligible vehicle types: A C1 license allows driving small and micro passenger cars, light and micro trucks, and light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles, whereas a C2 license permits driving small and micro automatic transmission passenger cars and light and micro automatic transmission trucks. The main difference is that a C1 license allows driving both manual and automatic transmission vehicles, while a C2 license only permits driving automatic transmission vehicles. 3. Annual physical examination: For C1 license holders, annual physical examinations are required starting at age 70, while for C2 license holders, they are required starting at age 60.

In Which Year Should a Private Car Undergo On-Site Inspection?

Private cars must undergo on-site inspection in the 6th year. Below are the specific details about vehicle annual inspections: 1. Meaning of Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual 'physical examination' for vehicles conducted according to the 'Technical Requirements for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety.' 2. Exemption Policy: The 6-year exemption from inspection for non-commercial small private passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats) means the vehicle is exempt from on-site inspection. However, the owner must still pass an exhaust emission test within the specified period (usually 2 years) and apply for the inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office, motor vehicle registration service station, or traffic police squadron, which must then be affixed to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield. 3. Scope of Exemption Policy: The 6-year exemption policy for non-commercial vehicles such as passenger cars has been in trial implementation since September 1, 2014. Vehicles registered after September 1, 2012, can be exempted twice; vehicles registered between September 1, 2010, and August 31, 2012, can be exempted once; vehicles registered before August 31, 2010, must still follow the original inspection regulations for annual review procedures.

However, it is important to note that the owner must not lend the vehicle to someone without a driver's license or whose license does not match the vehicle type. In the event of a traffic accident, the owner bears joint liability. More details are as follows: Overview: The motor vehicle license is the legal document permitting a motor vehicle to operate on roads within China. The license consists of three parts: the cover, the main page, and the supplementary page.

The supplementary page contains additional endorsed core information. Content: The text on the front of the main page is in black. The phrase 'People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle License' is in 12pt bold font and centered.

How to Turn the Steering Wheel When Reversing?

Methods for turning the steering wheel when reversing: 1. When reversing, if the rear of the car needs to go left, turn the steering wheel to the left; if the rear needs to go right, turn the steering wheel to the right. 2. To straighten the car body, if the rear is leaning left, turn the steering wheel to the right; if the rear is leaning right, turn the steering wheel to the left. 3. Once the car body is corrected, return the steering wheel to the straight position and reverse slowly. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, and airplanes. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a frame, foam, and the driver's airbag. Working principle of the steering wheel lock: The steering wheel lock is a mechanical lock composed of a lock handle, lock base, and lock rod. The shell is installed on the lock handle, and one end of the lock handle is equipped with a lock rod. When in use, the positioning fork and hook of the steering wheel lock are secured on the steering wheel rim to restrict the rotation of the steering wheel, achieving an anti-theft effect.

What is the reason for loose steering gear and abnormal noise when driving on rough roads?

Loose steering gear and abnormal noise when driving on rough roads indicate damage to the steering gear. Maintenance of the steering gear: It is necessary to check whether the intermittent movement of the outer tie rod ball joint of the steering gear is normal and whether the movement of the inner tie rod ball joint gap of the steering gear is normal. If any abnormality is found, simply replace the tie rod ball joint; there is no need to replace the entire steering gear. However, if the internal rack has significant play, replacement is the only option. Causes and maintenance of abnormal noise when driving on rough roads: The buffer rubber pads in the suspension components may crack due to prolonged use, leading to metal-to-metal contact and resulting in noise. In this case, the front suspension components need to be replaced. If the shock absorbers are too old and leaking oil, they may produce abnormal noise, requiring replacement at a repair shop. The rubber bushings of the stabilizer bar may become hard in winter due to cold weather and deteriorate over time. Since they are rubber products, they require frequent replacement. If abnormal noise occurs in winter, it is generally not a major issue.
