A driver's license being expired for one or two days does not affect renewal; it can be renewed normally. Time regulations: If the license has been expired for less than one year, it can be renewed normally; if expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be canceled, but renewal is possible by passing the subject one exam; if expired for more than three years, the license becomes invalid and cannot be renewed. The renewal process is as follows: The motor vehicle driver should bring the required materials to the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued to apply for renewal. The vehicle management office will process the renewal within one working day after approval. Drivers can renew their license via the "Traffic Management 12123" APP. Download the "Traffic Management 12123" APP, then select Service Center -- Expired License Renewal Service -- fill in the required information. The new license is generally delivered by mail. Visit the "Police-Medical-Post" service point at a postal office to complete the renewal process. The entire process, from registration to medical examination to new license production, takes only half an hour. Currently, only a few cities offer this service, such as Hangzhou.

I've been driving for almost 20 years, and based on personal experience, I can tell you that having your driver's license expire for a day or two generally doesn't affect the renewal process. Last time I forgot to renew mine and it was expired for a day and a half, but I went to the DMV and got it renewed quickly without any major issues. However, it's important to note that you shouldn't drive from the day it expires, otherwise, if caught by traffic police, you could face a fine starting from 200 yuan. When renewing, just bring your ID card, photos, a one-inch photo, and your medical examination report. Back then, it only took me 15 minutes at the counter to get it done, and the staff were quite polite. I recommend you handle it as soon as possible and don't delay too long, because if it's expired for over a year, you might have to retake the written test (Subject 1). It's a good idea to set a phone reminder to renew your license a month in advance for peace of mind while driving.

As a post-95s young person who loves sharing life tips, here's my advice: Driver's license expired for a day or two? No big deal! Just head to the DMV for renewal—the process is super simple. Just don't drive with an expired license to avoid tickets. My friend went three days after expiration with just their ID and medical exam materials, and it only cost a few dozen yuan. Save time by booking via app. Go early to skip long queues. Post-renewal, you'll feel more at ease and can even add an e-license to your phone. Pro tip: Regularly check expiration dates instead of waiting till the last minute.

Does the Levin have an anti-collision beam?

Toyota Levin cars are equipped with a rear anti-collision beam. Here is more information about the anti-collision beam: 1. The anti-collision beam is a device used to absorb collision energy when the vehicle is impacted. It consists of a main beam, an energy absorption box, and an installation plate connected to the car. Both the main beam and the energy absorption box can effectively absorb collision energy during low-speed collisions. 2. It minimizes the damage to the vehicle's longitudinal beams by reducing the impact force, thereby playing a protective role for the vehicle. 3. Anti-collision beams are divided into front and rear anti-collision beams. The front anti-collision beam is usually connected to the vehicle's longitudinal beams to protect rear components such as the radiator, reducing losses in minor accidents. The materials used are generally steel, fiberglass, or aluminum alloy, with a thickness of 1.5 to 3mm. The front anti-collision beam is usually covered with a layer of foam supporting the outer plastic skin, mainly serving to protect pedestrians.
