You can renew your driver's license within 90 days before its expiration. During the grace period after expiration, normal renewal is allowed. If the renewal period exceeds one year but is within three years, the license status becomes 'canceled but recoverable'. After exceeding three years, the license status changes to 'canceled' and cannot be recovered. Here are specific details about driver's licenses: 1. Definition: A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal document issued by authorities to individuals who have learned traffic regulations and driving skills, passed examinations, and are legally permitted to operate certain types of motor vehicles. 2. Classification: To facilitate management, China's Ministry of Public Security issued the 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License Business Regulations' and related provisions, further dividing the previous three license types (Class A for large buses, Class B for large trucks, and Class C for small cars) into seven categories, while eliminating the Q license.

Can Car Interiors Be Modified?

Yes. If the modification items do not affect driving safety and are not explicitly prohibited by regulations, modifications are allowed.

Below is relevant information: Car Interiors: Car interiors (Automotive-Interior) primarily refer to the automotive products used for modifying the interior of a car, covering various aspects such as steering wheel covers, seat cushions, floor mats, car perfumes, hanging accessories, interior decorations, storage boxes, etc. Domestic Car Interiors: In China, what is referred to as car interiors is essentially the Interiors-System in English.
