Annual inspection cannot be overdue, and even one day late will result in corresponding penalties. The annual inspection can be conducted up to three months in advance, but cannot be postponed. If a vehicle fails the inspection and is caught by traffic police, the driver will be penalized with a deduction of three points and a fine of up to 200 yuan. For any traffic accidents caused by vehicles that have not undergone the annual inspection on time, the responsible party will bear the primary liability, and the insurance company will not be held accountable. The items inspected during the annual inspection include: 1. Checking whether the engine, chassis, body, and their accessories are clean, complete, and effective, whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; 2. Verifying whether the vehicle's braking performance, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with relevant regulations; 3. Checking whether the vehicle has been modified, altered, or reconstructed, and whether the driving license, license plate, and all registered vehicle records match the actual condition of the vehicle; 4. Inspecting whether the license plate, driving license, and the enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or have unclear handwriting.

Annual vehicle inspection is not something to be taken lightly. After driving for so many years, I've never heard of anyone getting away with an overdue inspection. According to the rules, your vehicle is considered overdue on the very day the inspection expires, even if it's just one hour late, and it shouldn't be driven on the road. A friend of mine was three days overdue and got pulled over by traffic police immediately. He was fined 200 yuan with 3 penalty points deducted on the spot, and had to call a tow truck to take the car to the inspection station, wasting half a day. If the inspection is overdue for more than three months, the vehicle management office will forcibly cancel the vehicle's registration record, and there won't be any chance for a late inspection then. There's also the insurance issue—if an accident happens during this period, the insurance company will definitely refuse to pay, leading to even greater losses. So when you see your vehicle license is about to expire, make an appointment immediately and don't take any chances.

Why Does the Car Feel So Hot Inside?

Because the temperature in the front engine compartment is relatively high, it is possible that the external circulation was turned on at the time, bringing in the high outside temperature. Methods to cool down the vehicle are as follows: 1. Air convection: First, when the interior is hot, you can use convection by opening the windows upon entering the car, such as opening the left rear and right front windows in a cross pattern to accelerate air flow inside the car. You can also turn on the air conditioning, which will create a convection effect for the interior air. 2. Humidifier: To reduce the high temperature inside the car, you can use the car key to remotely open the windows in advance to minimize heat buildup. Additionally, for the high temperatures during summer, if possible, you can purchase an in-car humidifier online to quickly cool down the interior by humidifying the cabin.

Why Can a Manual Transmission Car Move Without Applying the Throttle?

Manual transmission cars have an idle phase, during which they can move at idle speed without pressing the throttle or the brake. This action is commonly referred to as automatic transmission creep start, and the vehicle will not stall regardless of the speed at which the brake is released during startup. Below are the benefits of manual transmission cars: 1. First, manual transmission versions of the same car model are cheaper than their automatic counterparts, offering better value. 2. Manual transmissions are more mature in technology, highly reliable, and have lower maintenance and repair costs compared to automatic transmissions. 3. Due to the complete absence of electronic assistance, the purely mechanical structure results in a significantly lower failure rate.
