As a stay-at-home dad who enjoys road trips, I specifically researched the BMW X5 when considering an SUV upgrade. Honestly, I place great importance on space requirements because I have two kids who need seating. After checking information and test-driving at a dealership, I found that the fifth-generation BMW X5 offers an optional 7-seat configuration, but it’s not standard—usually requiring an extra custom fee to install the third-row seats. The additional cost is roughly tens of thousands of yuan, and the space is relatively compact, likely only suitable for children or short trips, with slightly lower comfort compared to the standard 5-seat version. After consulting at the dealership, I felt that if the family frequently travels with more passengers, opting for the 7-seat version is a good choice, but you’d need to place an order in advance, otherwise the waiting time can be long. My advice for those genuinely wanting a 7-seater is to directly discuss with a sales consultant and bring the family along for a test sit to ensure everyone’s comfort justifies the cost.

What are the penalties for vehicle inspection omission?

According to relevant laws and regulations, if a vehicle fails to undergo self-inspection, the penalty standard includes a fine and a deduction of 3 points, along with a fine of twice the compulsory traffic insurance premium. Additionally, the vehicle must undergo re-inspection. The penalties for vehicle inspection omission are as follows: 1. If the inspection is overdue by less than 3 months: The traffic police will issue an oral warning to the owner but will not impose any penalties. The owner can proceed with the normal annual inspection procedures. 2. If the inspection is overdue by more than 3 months but less than 2 years: A fine will be imposed, and 3 points will be deducted. After handling the violation, the owner can proceed with the normal annual inspection procedures. 3. If the inspection is overdue by more than 2 years: The vehicle management office will cancel the vehicle's motor vehicle file, making it impossible to proceed with the annual inspection. To restore the annual inspection, the owner must pay the corresponding fine. 4.

How to Solve Window Fogging?

Press the defog button, turn on the air conditioning (A/C) switch, set the temperature to the lowest, and turn on the external circulation to defog. You can use either cold or warm air to remove fog from the car windows, but warm air is slower than cold air. The most effective method is to use cold air, which blows dry cold air directly onto the glass, preventing water vapor from condensing on the glass and achieving defogging. The method of using warm air to defog is the same as using cold air, but note that warm air should not be used for defogging on rainy days, as it may initially worsen the fogging. Always use external circulation when defogging car windows. The reason for car window fogging: There is a certain temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. If the temperatures inside and outside the car are different, the surface with the lower temperature will have a lower saturated vapor pressure than the surrounding environment, causing water vapor to gather on the glass surface and form tiny water droplets, resulting in fog. Methods to defog car windows: Air Conditioning Cooling: Use the air conditioning's cooling and dehumidifying function to reduce air humidity and remove fog. In summer, especially when multiple people enter the car, if the air conditioning is not turned on promptly, the high humidity of exhaled air can quickly cause the windshield to fog up. At this point, turn on the air conditioning to blow cold air onto the windshield, using the dehumidifying function to remove the fog quickly. If the humidity is too high and the air conditioning is not effective, slightly open a window to rapidly reduce the humidity inside the car. Combining this with the air conditioning can speed up the process. Air Conditioning Heating: Use the method of reducing the temperature difference to remove fog. In winter, blow warm air onto the glass to quickly raise the temperature of the windshield and reduce the temperature difference between the inside and outside surfaces of the window, preventing heavy fogging. However, note that the rear and side windows heat up more slowly, so it takes longer to remove all the fog. Whether the air conditioning is automatic or manual, turning it on helps with dehumidification. Do not set the air conditioning temperature to the coldest position, as this can cause frost to form on the outside of the windshield over time. Applying Anti-Fog Spray or Other Preventive Measures: Spray a small amount of defogging agent on the car windows and wipe it clean to remove dirt and stains. While polishing the glass, a thin transparent protective film forms, effectively preventing water vapor from condensing into fog, especially useful in cold winters. Alternatives to anti-fog spray include dish soap, soapy water, glycerin, alcohol, or saline solution. After applying, let it dry and then wipe off excess residue with a chamois or soft dry cloth. This can keep the windows fog-free for several days. Opening Windows for Airflow: If the fog inside the car is not too heavy, you can open the windows on both sides to create airflow between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and gradually eliminating the fog. The principle of this method is the same as using cold air from the air conditioning. However, the downside of opening windows is obvious: it cannot be used during rain, snow, on highways, or when the fog is heavy. Rear Window Heating: Most cars have a rear window heating function, though the button location may vary. Turn on the rear window heating switch, and the fog will disappear in about a minute.

What is the purpose of paying vehicle and vessel tax?

Vehicle and vessel tax has an unclear positioning, but its most basic function as a tax—raising local fiscal revenue—still plays a certain role, although the total revenue is very limited. The tax reduction and exemption policies for new energy vehicles and other energy-saving small-displacement vehicles make the vehicle and vessel tax more like an environmental tax. More related information is as follows: 1. Vehicle and vessel tax: It refers to a property tax levied on vehicles and vessels that should be registered with public security, transportation, agriculture, fishery, military, and other management departments in China according to their types, based on the prescribed tax calculation basis and annual tax standards. Vehicle and vessel tax should be paid annually together with compulsory traffic insurance. It is levied on an annual basis, with a one-time payment, and the tax period is from January 1 to December 31 each year, so it is collected every year. 2. Vehicle and vessel tax is a local tax: It is collected and managed by local tax authorities. For motor vehicles, to facilitate taxpayers and save their costs and time, insurance institutions engaged in compulsory traffic accident liability insurance for motor vehicles are designated as withholding agents for vehicle and vessel tax. They collect and remit the tax when selling compulsory traffic accident liability insurance and promptly transfer the tax to the treasury.

Must a driver's license with 12 points deducted be processed within 15 days?

A driver's license with 12 points deducted must be processed within 15 days. The driver is required to attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security authority in the place where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days. After completing the study session, the vehicle management office will conduct an examination (i.e., the subject one test) within 20 days. If the test is passed, the points will be cleared. More relevant information is as follows: 1. If the driver fails to attend the seven-day study session within 15 days as required: According to Article 48 of Order No. 111, when the vehicle management office issues a replacement motor vehicle driver's license, if it is found that the driver has the above-mentioned situation, a new driver's license will not be issued. The driver can only obtain a new license after completing the education and examination. If the driver refuses to attend the study session notified by the traffic management department of the public security authority or refuses to take the examination, the traffic police department will announce the suspension of the driver's license. Continuing to drive in violation of the regulations will result in a warning or a fine. 2. Notes: If a motor vehicle driver has more than two instances of reaching 12 points or accumulates more than 24 points in a scoring cycle, the vehicle management office must also conduct a road driving skills test within 10 days after passing the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge examination. The road driving skills test should be conducted according to the highest permissible driving model specified on the driver's license. It is important to note that if the points exceed 12 but are less than 24 in a scoring cycle, only the regulations training and examination are required. However, if the violation points reach 24 or more in a scoring cycle, the driver must not only attend the subject one test training but also re-attend the subject three test training. Only after passing all tests can the driver regain the driver's license.
