If the driver's license has been expired for less than 1 year, you can go to the vehicle management office to complete the renewal procedures normally. If the driver's license has been expired for more than 1 year but less than 3 years, the license will be locked and revoked. In this case, to renew the license, you must first take the subject one exam at the vehicle management office and pass it before you can proceed with the renewal. If the driver's license has been expired for more than 3 years, it will be invalidated, and you will need to re-enroll in a driving school to obtain a new license. Below are the relevant details: For drivers with Class C licenses: The annual review of the driver's license is conducted when renewing the license upon its expiration. The owner can go to the vehicle management office up to three months before the license expires. There is also a grace period after the license expires. If it has been less than one year since expiration, the owner can still follow the normal renewal process and undergo the annual review. For drivers holding Class AB licenses: Drivers of large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority within 30 days after the end of each scoring cycle for an annual review. If there are no demerit points recorded during a scoring cycle, the review for that cycle is exempted.

When was the first generation Honda Civic released?

Since the birth of the first-generation Civic in 1972, it has undergone 8 generations of evolution over 40 years. Through continuous advancements across these 8 generations, the Civic has earned unanimous recognition from over 20 million owners across more than 160 countries and regions worldwide. In 2006, the eighth-generation Civic officially entered the Chinese market. Development history of the first-generation Honda Civic: On July 11, 1972, the first-generation Civic was introduced. One of its hatchback variants featured a separately opening trunk design. The powertrain was equipped with Honda's EB-series 1.2L 2-valve inline four-cylinder engine, delivering a maximum power of 60 horsepower and maximum torque of 93 N·m, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Positioned as an economy car, the Civic had a 2200mm wheelbase and a curb weight of just 615kg. The vehicle could accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 12.3 seconds, with a top speed of 143 km/h. Honda also launched a 3-door version, which was the more common full-opening hatchback design. The maximum power was increased to 69 horsepower. In May 1973, a Civic model equipped with Honda's Hondamatic 2-speed semi-automatic transmission was introduced. That same year, a 1.5L displacement engine was added, and Honda responded to consumer feedback by introducing a standard 5-door Civic variant. Later, the Civic entered the European market, where it secured third place in the "European Car of the Year" awards. In October 1974, the Civic Sport 1200RS model was released. This car still used the 1.2L engine, but with maximum power increased to 76 horsepower, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It could accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 11.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 157 km/h. At that time, the 1.2L Civic's performance was already competitive with European-brand vehicles in its class.

Where is the ECO switch located on the Highlander?

The ECO switch on the Highlander is located on the right side of the steering wheel. Use the right directional button to select functions, then press the down directional button to scroll down until you see ECO, and finally use the center button to toggle the switch on or off. How ECO works: ECO primarily operates by comprehensively analyzing and evaluating various factors during vehicle movement that affect fuel consumption, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal fuel quantity to supply the engine for operation, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving modes. Simply put, it controls the engine speed with appropriate gear selection to minimize unnecessary fuel consumption. When to use ECO mode: The ECO mode is most effective when driving in congested urban traffic. In such stop-and-go conditions where strong power is not required and fuel consumption tends to be high, activating ECO mode not only reduces fuel consumption but also enhances driving comfort.

Why is the LANGDONG seat slightly tilted?

Check if the seat mounting bracket is loose and address the issue accordingly. Here are the solutions: 1. There are adjustment buttons beside the LANGDONG seat that the driver can use for adjustments. Setting the appropriate seat height is fundamental for obtaining a good driving view. When adjusting the seat, height adjustment should typically be the first step. Ensure there's at least a fist's distance between your head and the car roof to prevent head impact during bumps. 2. For adjusting the seat's fore-aft position, except for people with special height requirements, having the seat too far forward or backward is incorrect. A seat too forward reduces limb movement space. The correct approach is to ensure your right leg maintains a slight natural bend at the knee when fully depressing the brake pedal. During this process, you can also adjust the steering wheel to a suitable height. The adjustment principle is that when holding the 9 o'clock position, your arms should maintain a comfortable bent angle between 90 to 120 degrees.

Can the License Plate Be Retained When Transferring Vehicle Ownership?

The original owner of the vehicle can choose to retain the original license plate when transferring ownership. After the vehicle transfer, the original license plate can be applied for retention within two years. If not used within this period, the license plate number will be automatically revoked. If the original owner wishes to keep the license plate, they must promptly apply to the relevant authorities to use the plate on a newly purchased vehicle; otherwise, the plate will be forfeited. According to Article 52 of China's "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations": After completing the transfer or cancellation of motor vehicle registration, the original owner may apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased vehicle. To apply for the use of the original license plate number, the following conditions must be met: The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation of registration. The original owner must have owned the vehicle for at least three years. All traffic violations and accidents involving the original vehicle must be resolved. Documents required for the original owner during a used car transfer include the registration certificate, vehicle license, and ID card. The buyer must provide an ID card, and if they are from another region, a residence permit or temporary residence certificate is also required. The vehicle transfer process begins with a vehicle evaluation. The evaluation fee is typically 1%-2% of the assessed vehicle value, with additional costs for license plates, vehicle licenses, etc. The original owner's commercial insurance can be canceled (compulsory insurance cannot be canceled) or transferred to the buyer through the insurance company. Important considerations when purchasing a used car: Incomplete documentation. Complete used car documentation includes the vehicle registration certificate (or original purchase invoice), vehicle license, vehicle purchase tax certificate, road maintenance fee records, and compulsory insurance. Missing documents or unpaid fees can cause significant issues for the buyer, so caution is advised if the seller cannot provide complete documentation. Odometer tampering. Many buyers rely on the odometer to judge a vehicle's condition, and sellers may manipulate it. The odometer not only indicates usage but also serves as a record for maintenance and part replacements. Relying on a tampered odometer for maintenance can pose safety risks. New paint hiding damage. If a used car has been repainted, especially around the front, rear, or A, B, and C pillars, it may have been involved in a major accident. Engine modifications to inflate price. Buyers often focus on the engine's condition, neglecting the rest of the vehicle. Sellers may replace engine parts to make the vehicle appear newer and justify a higher price.
