A small car from 2015 will reach its sixth year in 2021 and requires an inspection. Below is relevant information about the annual inspection: 1. Introduction to vehicle 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 the vehicle according to the 'Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety.' Relevant regulations on vehicle annual inspections are stipulated in documents such as the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law.' Before the inspection, some preparatory work is needed (such as understanding relevant information, online appointment procedures, and vehicle-related issues) to ensure a smooth and successful inspection. There are initial and regular annual inspections, as well as related policies. 2. Purpose of vehicle annual inspection: The annual inspection can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards in vehicles, encourage better maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.

I'm a car owner who bought my vehicle in 2015 and specifically looked into this matter. For cars purchased in 2015, by 2021 they’ve just reached the 6-year mark and must undergo an on-site inspection. Don’t be confused by the '6-year exemption'—it means you don’t need an on-site inspection for the first 6 years, but before the 6th year expires, you must go to the inspection station. My neighbor missed this deadline and got fined 200 yuan plus penalty points. Remember to bring your vehicle license and compulsory insurance policy; they’ll check the lights, brakes, and emissions. If you’ve added modifications like a roof rack, remove them beforehand to avoid hassle. The inspection fee is less than 200 yuan. Oh, and after the 6th year, the 7th year actually doesn’t require an on-site inspection—just apply for the inspection sticker every two years.

What is the structure of a gasoline engine?

Conventional gasoline engines consist of components such as the fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter, carburetor, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, and exhaust muffler. Their function is to mix gasoline and air into an appropriate combustible mixture for delivery into the cylinders for combustion and to expel the exhaust gases generated from the engine. Specific details are as follows: Engine Block: This serves as the assembly base for all engine components. It includes the cylinder head, cylinder block, and lower crankcase (oil pan). The inner walls of the cylinder head and cylinder block together form part of the combustion chamber. Many parts of the engine block also function as components of other systems. Crankshaft Connecting Rod Mechanism: This is the mechanism through which the engine generates and transmits power, converting the linear reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft to output power. It includes the piston, piston pin, connecting rod, crankshaft with flywheel, and cylinder block.

How Many Years of Driving License Are Required to Drive on Highways?

Generally, drivers can drive on highways after completing a one-year probationary period following obtaining their license. If the probationary period is extended by one year due to traffic violations, then it would be two years. During the probationary period, drivers must be accompanied by someone with at least three years of driving experience to drive on highways. Below are the relevant details: 1. Definition of highways: Highways, abbreviated as expressways, refer to roads specifically designed for high-speed vehicle travel. 2. Prohibited behaviors on highways: Reversing, driving in the opposite direction, making U-turns across the central divider, or stopping in the traffic lanes. Overtaking on ramps, acceleration lanes, or deceleration lanes. Riding or straddling lane dividers or driving on the shoulder. Driving or stopping in the emergency lane unless in an emergency. Testing vehicles or learning to drive motor vehicles. The cargo compartments of trucks driving on highways must not carry passengers. Two-wheeled motorcycles must not carry passengers when driving on highways.

How long does it take to restore 12 points after deducting 9 points from a driver's license?

To restore the points, the violator must hold their own ID card and driver's license, and apply for the penalty point processing procedure at the vehicle management office within the current scoring cycle. After completion, the points on the driver's license will be reset to zero in the next scoring cycle. Below is the relevant information: 1. Scoring cycle: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is first issued. 2. Scoring rules: If a motor vehicle driver's points do not reach 12 within a scoring cycle and the imposed fines have been paid, the points will be cleared; if the points do not reach 12 but there are still unpaid fines, the points will be carried over to the next scoring cycle.

Will a tire be punctured if it runs over a glass bottle?

A tire that runs over a glass bottle may not be punctured on the first day, but it could still be punctured on the second day. This is because glass fragments may get lodged in the tire tread, and as the tire is used, the pressure on the glass shards can cause them to penetrate deeper, potentially puncturing the tire's inner liner. When inflating a tire, pay attention to the following points: Always use a pressure gauge to check the tire pressure to avoid over-inflation, which could cause the tire to burst. After stopping, wait for the tire to cool down before inflating, as driving increases tire temperature, which affects pressure. Check the valve stem. If the valve stem and core are not properly aligned or have defects, it may be difficult to inflate or measure pressure. Ensure clean air when inflating. The air should not contain moisture or oil, as these can deteriorate the inner tube rubber. Do not exceed the standard pressure significantly and then release air, nor over-inflate due to prolonged inability to inflate while traveling. Over-inflation can overstretch the tire cords, reducing their strength and shortening tire lifespan. Before inflating, clean the valve stem of dust and ensure the valve core is secure. After inflating, apply soapy water (or saliva) to the valve stem to check for leaks (bubbles indicate leaks). Install the valve cap tightly to prevent dirt from entering. When inflating radial tires, their larger contact area and greater deflection may lead to misjudgment of under-inflation or over-inflation. Use a standard pressure gauge for accurate measurement. The recommended pressure for radial tires is 0.5-1.5 kg/cm² higher than that of conventional tires.

Which finger is used for the fingerprint in Subject 2?

Subject 2 fingerprint recording generally requires the use of the thumb, index finger, or middle finger. According to examination regulations, candidate identity verification is required before both Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests, primarily through ID card verification and fingerprint scanning. Theoretically, if fingerprint recording is part of the pre-exam process in your region, it is a mandatory step before the test begins. Below is related information: 1. Definition of Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. 2. Content of Subject 2: The test includes five mandatory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving.

Is a mock test still necessary for the second attempt at Subject 2?

The necessity of a mock test entirely depends on the candidate's confidence level. If the candidate feels fully prepared, a mock test may not be required. Purpose of the mock test: It aims to familiarize candidates with the exam environment and allows instructors to point out areas prone to point deductions. Therefore, mock tests are absolutely essential—thorough preparation is key to optimal performance. Definition of Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills examination. Content of Subject 2: For car licenses C1 and C2, the test items include five mandatory components: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns).
