In Guangzhou, it generally takes 6 months to a year to obtain a driver's license. The specific details are as follows: In Guangzhou, even if you pass all the driving test subjects at once, it usually takes at least over a year to get the license, though some driving schools may be faster. Learning to drive in Guangzhou is different from other places. Here, you must take each subject one by one, and you can only register for the next subject after passing the previous one. The key factor is the number of students enrolled in your driving school—if there are many, the waiting time can be quite long. If you fail any subject, you'll have to wait another month. The process of learning to drive in Guangzhou: 1. Subject 1 Test: From registration to taking Subject 1, the waiting time alone can be lengthy, usually 2 to 3 months. However, the pass rate is high, and the difficulty is low, as it mainly involves theoretical knowledge. 2. From Subject 1 to Subject 2: Typically, you'll have to wait in line for 4 to 5 months, and sometimes even half a year. During this period, you must practice your driving skills diligently; otherwise, if you fail the test, you'll have to wait another month or so. 3. Subject 3: After passing Subject 2, you'll usually wait another 3 to 4 months. During this time, the driving school will arrange a long-distance driving session and charge an additional fee for it. 4. The final subject, the Civilized Driving Test: You'll need to wait at least another month. After registration, if you don't have time to practice all at once, your enrollment remains valid for two years.

How to Check the Manufacturing Date of Tires?

Tire manufacturing date can be found on the outer sidewall of the tire. There is a set of four-digit numbers in an elongated oval shape at the end of the letters DOT. The first two digits represent the week of the year, and the last two digits represent the year. For example, 1713 means the tire was manufactured in the 17th week of 2013. Sometimes, if these corresponding marks cannot be found on the tire, it may indicate that the tire was installed incorrectly. For all tires produced after 2000, the last four digits of the tire identification number (TIN) represent the manufacturing date of the tire. Among these four digits, the last two digits represent the production year of the tire. For example, xx13 means the tire was produced in 2013, while the first two digits represent the production week number. For instance, 3513 means the tire was produced in the 35th week of 2013.

How to Deal with Frozen Car Windows?

Methods to handle frozen car windows: 1. Start the car, and once the engine's water temperature rises, use the warm air to blow on the windshield until the ice layer melts; 2. Spray de-icing agents are specially designed high-speed anti-ice spray concentrates for thawing frozen windows and wipers, which do not damage the car's surface and can prevent re-icing and dirt accumulation; 3. Car owners can prepare a hard plastic scraper or use a dedicated glass frost shovel, which is more convenient and faster. Besides the windows being prone to icing, wipers and rearview mirrors are also susceptible to freezing due to low temperatures. If the wipers are frozen, never use boiling water. Car owners can thaw the wipers by spraying windshield washer fluid. A simple method to prevent wipers from freezing is to lift them up when parking the car the night before.

Is there a charge if entering before the highway toll-free period and exiting after it starts?

There is no charge if you enter the highway before the toll-free period and exit after it starts. However, please note that if you enter the highway early and exit the province before the toll-free period begins, you will be charged for the section of the highway up to the provincial boundary toll station. It is recommended to plan your departure time carefully or wait at a nearby service area before exiting the province until the toll-free period begins, so you won't have to pay any tolls. The vehicles eligible for toll-free highway travel include passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats), as well as motorcycles allowed on regular toll roads. Highways, abbreviated as expressways, are multi-lane roads designed exclusively for directional and lane-separated vehicle travel, with fully controlled access.
