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.

Should ETC be activated or installed first?

ETC should be installed first and then activated. The installation process of the ETC device on the windshield is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and the electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly illuminate. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. ETC activation method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice in succession until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth On." If "Tag Invalid" appears when inserting and removing the card twice without the electronic tag attached, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, you can directly press the button on the top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth and open the corresponding mobile app (usually a download QR code is provided on the electronic tag). Navigate to the device activation interface. Click "Connect Device" and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. Once connected, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete the activation.

Can You Make a U-Turn on a Single Yellow Line on the Road?

A single yellow line, if solid, strictly prohibits crossing for actions like overtaking, turning, or making a U-turn. Under normal driving conditions, you should not cross the line unless under special circumstances. If the single yellow line is dashed, you may overtake or make a U-turn as long as it is safe to do so. Circumstances under which a U-turn is permitted include: Presence of a U-turn signal or sign: If there is a traffic signal allowing U-turns at an intersection, you may make a U-turn when the U-turn signal is green. If there is a U-turn sign or a lane marking indicating U-turns, you may proceed with a U-turn after ensuring the safety of yourself and others. No U-turn sign but left turns are allowed (no prohibition signs for U-turns): At intersections where left turns are permitted and there are no signs or markings prohibiting U-turns, vehicles may make a U-turn. It is important to note that the maneuver should not disrupt the normal flow of other vehicles and must follow the left-turn signal. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left-turn waiting area, you may first enter the waiting area when the straight signal is green and proceed with the U-turn once the left-turn signal turns green. U-turns are allowed at dashed lines: Whether the dashed line is white or yellow, U-turns are permitted. For double yellow lines with one solid and one dashed, check if your side is the dashed line. If it is, you may make a U-turn if safe; if it is solid, U-turns are not allowed.

Car Light Signals Reference Table?

Car light signals reference table refers to a comprehensive guide of car light signals. The following is an introduction to the car light signals reference table: 1. When the light turns green but the car in front doesn't move or when you want to overtake: flash the headlights once. This is commonly used when the car ahead is driving slowly on the road and the driver behind intends to overtake, or when at a traffic light that has turned green but the car ahead still hasn't moved, flashing the headlights once serves as a reminder to the driver ahead. 2. When encountering strong glare from headlights at night: flash twice as a reminder. This is commonly used when meeting another car at night, and the other car is still using high beams, causing glare. The affected driver needs to flash the headlights twice to remind the other driver to switch to low beams. 3. When there is a problem with a neighboring car: flash the headlights three times. This is generally used when the trunk or door of the neighboring car is open, or when the tire pressure is insufficient, to remind the neighboring car to pull over and check for potential safety hazards. 4. When a car needs to merge: a single flash indicates agreement, while continuous flashing indicates refusal. This is commonly used when a car in the same direction is changing lanes or when a car from another lane is merging onto the main road. 5. When the following car is too close: intermittently illuminate the brake lights. This is commonly used during driving when the car behind is following too closely, increasing the risk of a traffic accident, so the brake lights are used to remind the following car to maintain a safe distance.

How often should the throttle be cleaned on a Sagitar?

The throttle cleaning interval for the Sagitar, as specified in the maintenance manual, is recommended every 15,000 to 30,000 kilometers. The exact timing depends on factors such as the vehicle's operating environment, fuel quality, and air filter replacement schedule. The reasons for cleaning the throttle are as follows: 1. As the vehicle accumulates mileage, carbon deposits naturally build up, and the throttle is particularly prone to carbon accumulation. 2. Increased carbon deposits can thicken the throttle plate. Given the throttle's precise control, even minor carbon buildup can disrupt the air intake volume, causing it to deviate from the engine computer's requirements. This leads to poor combustion, reduced engine power, and increased fuel consumption. 3. In more severe cases, carbon buildup can cause throttle sticking, resulting in symptoms like sluggish acceleration, engine vibration, higher fuel consumption, or even stalling. Therefore, regular throttle cleaning is essential.

How much tire pressure should a car have in summer?

According to the season, the general tire pressure in summer is 2.3kg for the front tires and 2.5kg for the rear tires; in winter, it's 2.5kg for the front tires and 2.7kg for the rear tires. The exact values may vary slightly depending on the vehicle model and style. It is necessary to refer to the standard tire pressure chart on the car. The standard tire pressure chart can usually be found in the following places: the vehicle user manual, the label near the driver's door (near the B-pillar), the drawer next to the driver's seat, or the fuel tank cap door. Excessive tire pressure: If the tire pressure is too high and significantly exceeds the standard pressure, the tire's friction and adhesion will decrease, affecting braking performance, causing steering wheel vibration and deviation, and reducing driving comfort. At the same time, it accelerates the wear of the central tread pattern, shortens the tire's lifespan, increases body vibration, and indirectly affects the lifespan of other components. Insufficient tire pressure: If the tire pressure is too low and significantly below the standard pressure, it increases the friction coefficient between the tire and the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption. It also makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, among other factors that are detrimental to driving safety. Insufficient tire pressure increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling.

Is Engine Restoration Protection Fluid Useful?

Engine restoration protection fluid has certain benefits. It can effectively reduce wear and corrosion of engine components, inhibit the formation of deposits such as gum and sludge, and form an extremely thin yet highly pressure-resistant and wear-resistant protective layer on metal surfaces. This prevents oil oxidation, thickening, and acidification, thereby protecting engine parts and extending engine life. It also effectively reduces noise caused by friction or degraded oil lubrication performance. Engine restoration protection fluid, also known as engine protectant, is used when a gasoline engine is in the break-in period or when hydraulic lifters produce abnormal noise. Simply mix it with engine oil according to the specified ratio and add it to the engine crankcase.
