The insurance purchased when obtaining a driver's license has a validity period of three years. The full name of a driver's license is the Motor Vehicle Driver's License, also known as a 'driver's license,' which is a certificate required by law for individuals who operate motor vehicles. Currently, obtaining a driver's license involves four subjects. The content and passing standards for these subjects are uniformly regulated nationwide, and the examination sequence follows Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4 in order. Candidates must pass the previous subject before being allowed to take the next one. Below are the examination contents for each subject: 1. Subject 1 Examination Content: Primarily tests basic knowledge such as road traffic safety laws, regulations, traffic signals and their meanings, and traffic rules. 2. Subject 2 Examination Content: Includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving. Some regions may have additional items. 3. Subject 3 Examination Content: Covers 16 driving skills, including preparation before driving, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crosswalks, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and simulated lighting operations. 4. Subject 4 Examination Content: Mainly tests knowledge of safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. Like Subject 1, it is a theoretical examination.

After driving for so long, I've found that in terms of vehicle insurance, compulsory traffic insurance is the most basic. It usually expires once a year and needs to be renewed on time. I remember once forgetting to renew it, and as a result, I was stopped by traffic police while driving, fined, and delayed my plans. Car insurance includes compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance, with a validity period generally lasting one year. Insurance companies usually send reminders before the expiration date. If you don't renew it in time, once the insurance expires, the vehicle may be fined or even prohibited from being driven on the road. Additionally, the validity period of a driver's license itself is longer, usually 10 years or adjusted according to age, and it needs to be replaced when expired. However, a driver's license doesn't have the concept of insurance; insurance is specifically for the vehicle. I recommend setting a calendar reminder to check 30 days before the insurance expires to avoid forgetting. Regularly checking the expiration date on the insurance policy can prevent a lot of trouble.

As a seasoned driver, I've personally experienced the timeliness issue with car insurance. Auto insurance, such as compulsory traffic insurance, always expires exactly one year later, and I make it a habit to renew it one month in advance. I remember one time when my insurance was about to expire and I didn't notice, resulting in discovering the insurance was invalid during an accident—I had to pay for the car repairs out of my own pocket. Driving with expired insurance is risky; police checks can lead to point deductions, fines, or even having your car towed. On the other hand, the driver's license is something you carry with you, valid for a longer period, such as 10 years before renewal, but it doesn't involve insurance. I recommend car owners develop the habit of contacting their insurance company to handle renewal procedures when the policy is about to expire each year; download an app to set up automatic reminders; and also familiarize themselves with local regulations—some places impose additional penalties if insurance is expired for more than a few days. Safety first—don't let small issues ruin major plans.

When I first started learning to drive, I often got confused about document expiration dates. A driver's license is typically valid for 5 to 10 years, depending on age, and you just need to renew it when it expires. But car insurance is completely different: policies like compulsory traffic insurance usually expire annually, so you need to renew them every year. If you forget to renew and drive after the insurance expires, you'll be fully liable for any accidents or if you're caught. I recommend that beginners check the dates on their vehicle insurance policies and note them down or set phone reminders. You can retake the test if your license expires, but the consequences of expired insurance are serious. When maintaining your car, take a moment to check the insurance card to ensure it's still valid. Don't panic—just take it step by step.

What is the range of the Jetour X70SEV?

The official range of the Jetour X70SEV version as given by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 401 kilometers, but in actual use, the range will be reduced. More related information is as follows: 1. The Jetour X70SEV is a pure electric vehicle, and it is a single-motor model. The motor of the Jetour X70SEV is front-mounted, so this vehicle is also front-wheel drive. The motor has a maximum power of 125 kW and a maximum torque of 300 Nm, making this car relatively powerful. 2. The Jetour X70SEV uses lithium iron phosphate batteries across the entire lineup. Almost no pure electric vehicles use this type of lithium battery, as most pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles use ternary lithium batteries, which have higher energy density and are lighter in weight. 3. The front suspension of the Jetour X70SEV uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension. The multi-link independent suspension can improve the wheel's ground contact performance, thereby enhancing grip. With improved grip, the vehicle's handling also improves.
