Driving an electric vehicle requires a driver's license. Here are the specific details about driving an electric vehicle: 1. Driving without a license: According to Article 99 of China's "Safety Law," driving a motor vehicle without obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license, or when the license is revoked or temporarily suspended, will result in a fine and may also lead to detention for up to 15 days. 2. Driving without a license plate: According to national regulations, electric vehicles must meet the relevant provisions of the "National Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products Announcement" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and must have a vehicle certificate, purchase invoice, tax certificate, compulsory traffic insurance, etc. Motor vehicles not listed in the "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products Announcement" cannot be licensed as required.

Driving an electric vehicle definitely requires a driver's license, which is no different from traditional gasoline-powered cars. I've seen many friends who can't wait to drive their newly purchased electric cars, only to find out they haven't obtained a license yet—this is unacceptable. The law stipulates that operating any motor vehicle requires a valid driver's license, including pure electric and hybrid vehicles. The process of obtaining a license can be quite challenging, but the benefit is learning traffic rules and safety awareness, such as recognizing road signs and controlling speed. Even though electric vehicles are eco-friendly and quiet, the risks and regulations on the road remain the same. Driving without a license can result in fines or vehicle impoundment if caught by traffic police, and it may also affect insurance claims. So, if you're considering buying an electric vehicle, getting your driver's license should be the top priority. I recommend enrolling in a driving school for systematic learning rather than cutting corners for convenience.

Can I Apply for a Total Loss Claim if My Car is Flooded?

If a car is flooded, you cannot apply for a total loss claim. If a vehicle suffers damage due to flooding or water submersion, as long as the engine is not affected, other damages can be claimed through the vehicle damage insurance. However, if the engine is flooded and you do not have special engine loss insurance, the engine damage will not be covered. Additional Information: 1. Partial Loss: If a part of the insured vehicle is damaged and the insured amount reaches the actual value at the time of underwriting, regardless of whether the insured amount is lower than the actual value at the time of the incident, partial loss will be compensated based on the actual repair costs. If the insured amount of the vehicle is lower than the actual value at the time of underwriting, partial loss will be compensated proportionally based on the ratio of the insured amount to the actual value at the time of the incident. 2. Insurance Limit: The maximum compensation amount for vehicle damage is limited to the insured amount.

What Does Vehicle Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 Maintenance Mean?

Introduction to the meaning of vehicle level 1, level 2, and level 3 maintenance: 1. Level 1 maintenance: Tightening of various assemblies and connecting parts, lubrication of main assemblies and components, and some necessary adjustment operations found during external inspections. It is generally performed when the vehicle has traveled 1,500~2,000 km. The main tasks include: inspecting and tightening loose bolts and nuts on the exterior of the vehicle, applying grease to lubrication points as specified in the lubrication chart, adding lubricating oil to various assemblies, and cleaning all filters. 2. Level 2 maintenance: In addition to the tasks of level 1 maintenance, the focus is on inspection and adjustment, including tire removal and rotation. It is generally performed when the vehicle has traveled 6,000~8,000 km. 3. Level 3 maintenance: This is second only to a major vehicle overhaul, focusing on disassembling assemblies, cleaning, inspecting, adjusting, and eliminating potential hazards. The maintenance cycle for level 3 is generally 36,000~40,000 km.

What is the mnemonic for judging car distance using side mirrors?

The mnemonic for judging car distance using side mirrors: The smaller the rear vehicle appears, the safer it is; When the rear vehicle occupies 1/3 of the mirror, the distance is about 10 meters; When occupying 1/2 of the mirror, the distance is about 7 meters - safe for turning; When the rear vehicle fills the entire mirror, the distance is about 3 meters - not suitable for turning. Below is an introduction to rearview mirrors: 1. Structure principle of rearview mirrors: Rearview mirrors involve a field of vision issue, referring to the range that the mirror surface can reflect. The industry proposes three elements of vision: the distance between the driver's eyes and the rearview mirror; the size of the rearview mirror; and the curvature radius of the mirror surface. These three elements are interrelated - with equal distance and size, a smaller curvature radius provides a wider reflected field. With equal curvature radius, a larger mirror size provides a wider reflected field. 2. Reflectivity index of rearview mirrors: Rearview mirrors also have a reflectivity index. Higher reflectivity means clearer reflected images, which depends on the reflective coating material on the mirror's inner surface.

What documents are needed for vehicle license plate replacement?

To replace a vehicle license plate, you need to prepare: "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form", original copy of "Motor Vehicle Driver's Physical Condition Certificate", original and photocopy of the applicant's identity proof, (if processed by an agent, the original and photocopy of the agent's identity proof must also be submitted), original motor vehicle driver's license, and 3 photos of the motor vehicle driver. When transferring vehicle ownership, the license plate must be changed. Since the real-name registration of motor vehicles was implemented, all vehicle ownership transfers nationwide now require changing the motor vehicle license plate. Currently, one license plate number corresponds to only one individual. If the vehicle is transferred for secondary transactions, the number must be changed. After the vehicle is transferred, the original license plate can be retained by the original owner for 6 months. When applying for new vehicle registration after completing the motor vehicle transfer registration or cancellation registration, the original vehicle owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original motor vehicle license plate. After 6 months, the number will be automatically invalidated and returned to the number pool for archiving.
