Generally, the vehicle management office distributes the driver's license to the driving school where the student is enrolled, and then the driving school issues it to the student; or it is mailed directly to the student. Distribution to the driving school or mailing usually takes about three to four days, and in some cases, it may take up to a week. Additionally, in some regions, the license can be obtained on the spot. After passing Subject Four, the staff at the vehicle management office will immediately produce the driver's license. Under guidance, the student will participate in a safety education session and complete the oath-taking ceremony before receiving the license. Regulations on the issuance of driver's licenses: Article 55 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses' stipulates: After passing the exam, applicants must receive no less than half an hour of traffic safety and civilized driving common sense education, as well as case-based traffic accident safety education, and participate in the license receipt oath-taking ceremony.

Just passed the subject four test, I was super excited as a newbie candidate. I waited on-site for about half an hour and got my license. After the test, the results were reviewed on the spot. Once passed, the staff printed the driving certificate letter and the probation sticker. Some test centers might be crowded and require waiting until the next day, but this time it was quite fast for me. After getting the license, it's best to check the accuracy of personal information to avoid errors and the need for reapplication. New drivers have a one-year probation period, remember to display the probation sign, and don't drive on highways without supervision. If you fail the subject four test, don't panic! You can retake it unlimited times, with just a few days' interval between each attempt. My friend passed on the second try. The whole process was smoother than expected. It's recommended to prepare photos and ID in advance to facilitate the process. You can legally drive right after passing, but start with small roads first, safety comes first.

Is it necessary to change the engine oil every 6 months?

It is not always necessary to change the engine oil every 6 months. This depends on the type of oil used in the vehicle, as well as the driver's driving habits and usage environment. Engine oil is often referred to as the 'lifeblood' of the engine, serving functions such as lubrication, cleaning, sealing, heat dissipation, buffering, and rust prevention. Without engine oil, the engine cannot operate properly. In terms of time, 6 months is typically the theoretical replacement interval for mineral oil. If the engine uses mineral oil, even if the engine hasn't been running for six months, the oil should still be changed because mineral oil oxidizes and deteriorates over six months, losing much of its intended performance. For semi-synthetic or full-synthetic oils, although oxidation and deterioration may occur within six months, they can generally continue to be used.

How Often is the Annual Inspection Required?

How often the annual inspection is required depends on the following situations: 1. For passenger transport vehicles, an inspection is required once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, once every 6 months. 2. For trucks and large or medium-sized non-passenger transport vehicles, an inspection is required once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, once every 6 months. 3. For small and mini non-passenger transport vehicles, an inspection is required once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, once a year; after 15 years, once every 6 months. 4. For motorcycles, an inspection is required once every 2 years within the first 4 years; after 4 years, once a year. 5. For tractors and other motor vehicles, an inspection is required once a year. If a transport vehicle passes the safety technical inspection within the specified inspection period, it does not need to undergo a repeat safety technical inspection.

Does running a new car at high speed without break-in have any impact?

Running a new car at high speed without break-in has no impact, as long as you don't speed or violate traffic rules. Modern factories already conduct cold break-in for vehicles before leaving the factory, so owners don't need to perform additional engine break-in after purchase. Normal driving is sufficient, and highway driving won't cause issues - it may even help the engine break in better. In the past, due to backward manufacturing techniques, automotive components had larger tolerances and insufficient fitting precision, requiring a break-in period after assembly. However, with today's advanced automobile manufacturing processes and high-precision parts machining, new vehicles no longer need a so-called break-in period. Generally, after driving at low speed for several dozen kilometers to familiarize yourself with the car's condition, the vehicle can operate at full load - meaning you can directly drive on highways or mountainous roads. This approach also helps identify potential issues early for timely resolution.

How Long Does Temporary Parking Count as a Violation?

Temporary parking at locations where parking is not prohibited is not subject to time restrictions, meaning parking for any duration does not constitute a violation. Parking is categorized into temporary parking and vehicle storage: 1. Temporary parking: The driver remains with the vehicle or stops briefly to unload goods or drop off passengers before immediately leaving; 2. Vehicle storage: The vehicle is parked and left unattended. The Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that motor vehicles should be parked in designated areas, and parking on sidewalks is prohibited (except in legally marked parking spaces). Temporary parking on roads must not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Parking in no-parking zones is considered a violation. According to Article 93 of Chapter VII of the Road Traffic Safety Law, for motor vehicles parked or temporarily parked in violation of traffic safety laws and regulations, traffic police or relevant administrative departments should first identify the illegal act, issue a verbal warning, and order the vehicle to leave immediately. If the driver is not present or refuses to leave immediately, thereby obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, a fine may be imposed, and the vehicle may be towed to a location that does not obstruct traffic or to a place designated by the traffic management department of the public security organ.

How to Calculate the Steering Wheel and Wheel Turning Angle?

The steering wheel typically rotates 540-630 degrees from the center position to one side, corresponding to a wheel turn of approximately 40-42 degrees. For every 13-16 degrees of steering wheel rotation, the wheel turns by 1 degree. One full rotation of the steering wheel results in about 25 degrees of wheel turn. When the car's steering tires and the body are perfectly aligned in a straight line, the steering wheel is at 360°, while the steering tires are at 45° because the steering tires can only turn up to 45° to either side. Steering wheel techniques: For a left turn, first activate the left turn signal, use your left hand to turn the steering wheel to the left while your right hand assists in pushing it leftward. After completing the turn, use your right hand to turn the steering wheel back to the right to straighten the vehicle's direction. For a right turn, first activate the right turn signal, use your right hand to turn the steering wheel to the right while your left hand assists in pushing it rightward. After completing the turn, use your left hand to turn the steering wheel back to the left to straighten the vehicle's direction. The key to handling continuous curves is to reduce speed. Before entering a curve, you can lean slightly to the right; if turning right, you can lean slightly to the left. The exact number of steering wheel rotations depends on the actual situation.
