A new car can still enjoy the six-year exemption from inspection after transfer of ownership. The conditions for the six-year exemption policy for new cars include: the vehicle must be a non-operational vehicle; the approved seating capacity is 6 or fewer people (starting from November 20, 2020, non-operational mini and small buses with 7 to 9 seats are also included in the exemption scope); the vehicle type specified on the driving license includes cars (mini, small, medium, large), mini ordinary passenger vehicles, mini off-road passenger vehicles, small ordinary passenger vehicles, small off-road passenger vehicles, and small special passenger vehicles; the vehicle must be registered within 4 years from the date of manufacture; and the vehicle must meet all the above conditions and must not have been involved in any traffic accidents causing casualties during the exemption period. Regulations on exemption from inspection: The so-called exemption from inspection refers only to exemption from on-site inspection. Drivers are still required to undergo a biennial regular inspection. After providing proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance, proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption, and resolving any traffic violations or accidents, they can directly apply to the traffic management department for the inspection label without needing to undergo a safety technical inspection at an inspection agency. However, if the vehicle is involved in a traffic accident causing casualties during the exemption period, it must undergo inspection according to the original regulations. Regulations on annual vehicle inspection: Operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years and once every 6 months after 5 years; trucks and large or medium non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years and once every 6 months after 10 years; small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, with a biennial application for the inspection label (starting from November 20, 2020, vehicles older than 6 years but less than 10 years will be inspected once every two years instead of annually, and vehicles older than 10 years will be inspected once a year); vehicles older than 15 years must be inspected once every 6 months.

I just bought a used car that's only three years old, and after the transfer, it qualifies for the six-year exemption from inspection. This is because the exemption policy only considers the vehicle's initial registration date, not whether the owner has changed. You need to promptly visit the vehicle management office after the transfer to complete the procedure. Bring your vehicle license, ID card, and the new vehicle license, and they will affix the exemption sticker for you. However, note that even with the exemption, you still need to apply for the inspection sticker annually, or you'll face a fine. After my transfer, I booked an appointment online—it was quite convenient and saved me a lot on inspection fees. The whole process is straightforward, but the key is to ensure the vehicle's registration information is updated to avoid any delays. In short, as the new owner, just relax and enjoy this benefit. Before driving, just check the tire pressure and lights.

What Causes the Clutch to Fail to Engage Gears?

When the clutch pedal is depressed but the gears cannot be engaged, the most common cause of failure is the presence of debris inside the clutch, which leads to improper adjustment of the booster push rod's travel. This results in air entering the clutch's hydraulic system, preventing the clutch plates from separating cleanly. Below are relevant details about the clutch: 1. Description One: The clutch is a mechanical device located between the engine and the transmission. The output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. Automotive requirements for the clutch include rapid disengagement, smooth connection, and sufficient heat dissipation capability. 2. Description Two: During driving, the driver operates the clutch pedal to separate or connect the engine and the clutch, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission. All vehicles are equipped with a clutch, which is an assembly connecting the vehicle's drivetrain to the engine system. It reduces gear-shifting impacts during vehicle operation and protects the engine.

What Causes the Engine to Stall During Reverse Parking?

If the clutch is pressed too low, the resistance increases when turning the steering wheel, which naturally causes the engine to stall. Below is an introduction to Subject 2: Overview: 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. For small vehicles (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). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection. Teaching Aids: Teaching Software: Students can use driver simulation test software on mobile or computer devices to study traffic regulations. Teaching Materials: "Safe Driving Starts Here," compiled by the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China. Driving schools may provide these learning materials uniformly, or students may purchase them at their own expense.

When to Turn on the Turn Signal During a Right-Angle Turn?

You should turn on the turn signal in advance for a right-angle turn. When entering the right-angle turn, there will be a voice announcement saying 'Please start the right-angle turn.' After the announcement ends, you must turn off the turn signal. Sometimes, the steering wheel may automatically return, so it's important to note that there is a time limit for keeping the turn signal on during a right-angle turn. Additional notes: Things to pay attention to during a right-angle turn: 1. After turning on the signal, it's best to use your finger to prevent the steering wheel from automatically returning, as an automatic return will result in a 10-point deduction. 2. If the turn signal turns off automatically when returning the steering wheel, you must immediately reactivate it; otherwise, it will be considered as not using the turn signal, resulting in a 10-point deduction. Turning it off too early is also not allowed, and failing to return the turn signal after completing the right-angle turn will also lead to point deductions.

What are the materials of car covers?

Car cover materials: Car covers are divided into PVC material, single-coated material, double-coated flame-retardant material, nano flame-retardant material, leather oil material, and gold-pulled flame-retardant material. Here is the relevant information: 1. PVC material: Car covers made of PVC material have good dustproof and rainproof effects, but they are not sunproof or scratch-resistant, and can only be used on one side. PVC car covers only come in silver, are relatively heavy, usually weighing around 3-4 kilograms, and have a service life of about 2 years. 2. Single-coated material: Car covers made of single-coated material have good dustproof and sunproof effects, but they are not rainproof or scratch-resistant, and can only be used on one side. Single-coated car covers only come in silver, which is very effective in blocking ultraviolet rays. They are relatively light, usually weighing around 1 kilogram, and have a service life of about 2 years.

How Often Should a Car Undergo Tire Rotation?

It is recommended to perform a tire rotation every approximately 20,000 kilometers. Tire rotation involves swapping the positions of the wheels, such as front-to-rear, side-to-side, cross rotation, or full rotation. The purpose is to account for the uneven weight distribution of the vehicle and the varying forces exerted on the front and rear tires during driving, which leads to different wear patterns on the four tires. This practice helps ensure even tire wear and extends the overall lifespan of the tires. The steps for tire rotation are as follows: 1. Use a jack to lift the vehicle about 10 cm off the ground to test stability, then safely raise the vehicle to the appropriate height; 2. Remove the tires from the vehicle; 3. Perform dynamic balancing on all four tires; 4. Carry out the tire rotation; 5. Use a torque wrench to tighten the wheel bolts in the correct sequence and to the specified torque; 6. Lower the vehicle and tidy up.
