Registration is required. Installing a spoiler on a car is considered an alteration to the vehicle's appearance, and the owner must register the modification with the vehicle management office in advance. If a spoiler is installed without registration, the traffic management department will detain the vehicle, confiscate the illegal modification, order restoration to the original condition, and impose a fine according to the law. Here is relevant information: 1. After the modification is completed, the vehicle license must be re-photographed and replaced to ensure that the photo on the license matches the modified vehicle, so that the car can pass annual inspections and routine safety checks. The requirement for adding a spoiler is that it should not exceed the overall dimensions of the vehicle after installation. 2. The main function of a car spoiler is to provide sufficient downforce, reducing lift at the rear of the vehicle, ensuring the car remains firmly on the road and maintains stability during driving. 3. If a vehicle owner wishes to change the body color, replace the engine, or alter the body or frame, they are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first make the changes (such as altering the vehicle color, adding body kits, or replacing the engine) and then apply for modification registration at the vehicle management office within 10 days.

How to Open a Honda Car When the Key is Locked Inside?

If the key of a Honda car is locked inside, you can use the spare key to open the door or call a locksmith. Additional information is as follows: 1. Use the spare key to open the door: The original keys that come with the vehicle usually include at least two: one as the primary key and the other commonly referred to as the spare key. When the primary key is locked inside the car, try to retrieve the spare key to open the door. 2. Call a locksmith: If you are far from home or traveling, retrieving the key may not be practical. In such cases, hiring a locksmith is a viable option. Documents required when contacting a locksmith include: valid identification (ID card, passport, or household registration book); proof of vehicle ownership (vehicle registration certificate). If the registration certificate is also locked inside the car, you can provide proof to the locksmith after opening the door. If you don't have the registration certificate, you may need to file a report at the nearest police station.

What Causes the Formation of Oil Film on Glass?

Automobile exhaust, due to incomplete combustion of gasoline, produces various exhaust pollutants. These pollutants are often trapped on urban roads, especially behind trucks, and inevitably adhere to the car glass, forming an oil film. Another cause is smoke pollution. If the car is frequently parked near restaurant chimneys, over time, a significant amount of smoke residue will accumulate on the glass. Below is relevant information: 1. Oil Film Removal: Oil film cleaners are generally simple to use. Spray them evenly on the car glass, then wipe and rinse with water. Other methods, such as using acidic solvents or deep abrasives, can also be effective. However, these may damage the glass and affect the strength of the windshield, so they are not recommended. 2. Hazards of Oil Film: Firstly, it poses safety risks while driving. During nighttime driving, especially in rainy conditions, oil film on the windows can cause headlights from oncoming vehicles to appear more glaring, creating significant safety hazards. Additionally, it increases the consumption of windshield washer fluid and shortens the lifespan of windshield wipers.

How many days can traffic violations be checked on the phone?

Generally, traffic violations can be checked within 3-7 days after the offense, and no later than 13 working days. The following is relevant information: 1. Reason: Because the traffic police team needs to collect, organize, and review the data, and after the data is entered and transmitted, it will be uploaded online within a week. If the violation is captured by a camera (non-on-site violation), it may take up to 15 days to be checked. 2. On-site inspection: If the violation is confirmed on-site by a traffic police officer and signed, the vehicle owner must go to the local traffic police station within 15 days to handle the violation. If it exceeds 15 days without handling, a late fee of 3% per day will be charged, but the late fee will not exceed double the original fine amount.

What to Install After Buying a New Car?

After buying a new car, it is generally recommended to install a dash cam or radar detector. Here are some important considerations after purchasing a new car: 1. No driving without a license: You can buy a car without a driver's license, but you cannot drive it on the road without one, as it is illegal. 2. License plate registration: When registering your car after purchase, a driver's license is not required for inspection. To register a new car, you will need your ID card, vehicle certificate, purchase invoice, proof of vehicle purchase tax payment, and insurance policy. At the vehicle management office, staff will inspect the vehicle and take photos. After registration, you will receive a vehicle registration certificate and a vehicle license. 3. Always carry your vehicle license: When driving, you must carry both your driver's license and vehicle license. During the probationary period, you are not allowed to drive on highways.

What is the simplest solution for a squeaky scooter?

Here are the causes and solutions for scooter noise: 1. Piston issue in the lower pump: If the piston is stuck, it may prevent the brake shoes from fully separating from the disc, leading to squeaky wear. The piston can be disassembled and cleaned. 2. Brake shoes need replacement: If the brake shoes are worn (including uneven wear, which could also be caused by the aforementioned piston issue), and the friction surface has exposed metal edges, it will squeak when rubbing against the disc. 3. Uneven disc surface: If the disc shows obvious concentric groove marks and is no longer a smooth friction surface, and if there are marks, the brake shoes are likely unevenly worn.

What Causes Water Leakage from a Car Chassis?

There are three main reasons for water leakage from a car chassis: 1. Condensation water generated during the use of air conditioning: Most cars do not have a water hose at the bottom, so the moisture from the air conditioning is directly discharged from the car chassis. 2. Fault in the radiator cooling system. 3. Windshield washer fluid leakage: It may be caused by scratches on the chassis that damage the windshield washer fluid pipe. Here are additional details: There are two other reasons for water dripping from other parts of the car: 1. Water dripping from the exhaust pipe at the rear of the car: This is caused by carbon dioxide and water vapor produced by the complete combustion of gasoline, forming water droplets. 2. Water dripping from the car body: This is a normal phenomenon after rain or car washing.
