Temporary license plates for small cars come in two types: one is for temporary driving within the administrative jurisdiction, issued with a validity period not exceeding 15 days, and the plate is blue in color; the other is for temporary driving across administrative jurisdictions, issued with a validity period not exceeding 30 days, and the temporary plate is yellow in color. Relevant information about license plates is as follows: Introduction: License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates mounted on the front and rear of a vehicle, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. Function: License plates serve to number and register vehicles. Their primary purpose is to identify the vehicle's region of registration through the plate, and to access the vehicle's owner and registration details based on the plate.

I've encountered this issue before. When buying a new car, you're given a temporary license plate, which is usually valid for about 15 to 30 days, depending on where you register it and the vehicle's purpose. For example, temporary plates within the province are typically valid for 15 days, while inter-provincial ones might last 30 or even 90 days, but the most common duration is 15 days. This design is mainly to give you a transition period to get the official plates. I suggest going to the DMV to complete the formalities as soon as you receive the temporary plate to avoid penalties or demerit points for exceeding the validity period. I remember a friend who delayed too long and ended up driving with an expired temporary plate, getting pulled over by the police and fined heavily. Additionally, while temporary plates are convenient, they are prone to damage, so be careful not to dirty or lose them when keeping them in the car. In short, new car owners should act promptly and not let convenience lead to trouble—safety first. With policies constantly changing these days, it's always good to stay updated on the latest regulations.

What is the correct way to use the L gear in a car?

The correct way to use the L gear in a car is: The L gear can be used when going up or down a steep slope. After shifting into L gear, the transmission will remain in a lower gear without upshifting. When the car is in a low gear, the wheel torque increases, making it more suitable for climbing. When going downhill, shifting into a low gear can utilize engine braking to slow down the car. Other gears in a car include: 1. P is the parking gear. When the vehicle is stationary, it should be put in P gear to prevent accidental operation or rolling. 2. N is the neutral gear. Pressing the accelerator in neutral has no effect, and it is used for temporary parking. 3. D is the drive gear, used when the vehicle is moving. Pressing the accelerator in this gear will make the vehicle move forward.

What is the principle of an automobile muffler?

The principle of an automobile muffler is: The automobile muffler is a component used to reduce the noise generated by the engine of a motor vehicle during operation. Since the length difference between the two pipes is equal to half the wavelength of the sound wave emitted by the automobile, the two sound waves interfere with each other when superimposed, canceling out and weakening the sound intensity, thereby reducing the noise and achieving the effect of noise reduction. Automobile mufflers can be classified according to their noise reduction principles and structures into: 1. Reactive mufflers: Inside the muffler, components such as pipes and partitions form various noise reduction units like expansion chambers and resonance chambers. When sound waves propagate, they undergo reflection and interference, reducing sound energy to achieve noise reduction. 2. Impedance composite mufflers: These mufflers combine reactive noise reduction units with sound-absorbing materials, featuring characteristics of both reactive and resistive mufflers.
