C1The probationary period for a C1 driver's license is 12 months. The requirements during the probationary period for a C1 driver's license are as follows: 1. Must display a probationary sign. When driving a motor vehicle during the probationary period, a uniform probationary sign must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle. 2. During the probationary period, if a driver wishes to drive on the highway, there must be a companion in the same vehicle who holds a driver's license for the same or a higher vehicle type and has more than three years of driving experience. 3. During the probationary period, if the driver accumulates 12 or more demerit points due to traffic violations, the C1 driver's license will be revoked. The driver must reapply for learning and pass the examination before obtaining a driver's license again.

I just got my C1 driver's license, and the probation period is a full year, starting from the day I received it. During this time, I can't drive alone on highways, which feels quite frustrating, but safety comes first. I always put up the novice driver sticker when driving, and my friends say my newbie label is very obvious. Remember to drive carefully during the probation period, don't speed or violate traffic rules, as points can quickly accumulate to 12 and lead to license revocation. When the probation ends, I need to visit the DMV to confirm my license status. Once everything is normal, I can drive freely. Practicing reversing and night driving more often can help me get the hang of it faster.

How to Renew a Driver's License After 6 Years?

There are two ways to renew an expired driver's license: One is to visit the local traffic management department in person. According to Article 57 of the 'Traffic Regulations and Penalty Rules,' the driver should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office that issued the license or another authorized office within 90 days before the license expires. The other method is to use the online renewal service via the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15 and above or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12 and above). Taking Apple iOS 15 as an example: Open the Traffic Management app on an iPhone, navigate to the driver's license services page, find the 'Renew Expired License' option, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the online renewal process. For driver's license renewal and annual review, the old license must be surrendered to the vehicle management office. According to the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, drivers can apply for renewal up to 90 days in advance at the original issuing office. Documents required for renewal: Original and photocopy of ID card. Medical examination certificate from a designated hospital. Completed renewal application form and processing fee. Three one-inch white-background color photos. Photos and medical certificates can be prepared in advance. If unsure about compliance, they can be obtained directly at the traffic police office to save time. Important notes on renewal: Driving with an expired license may result in a fine but no penalty points. Renewal deadlines apply: if expired for less than a year, normal renewal is possible; if expired for 1-3 years, the license is revoked, but can be regained by passing the written test; if expired for over 3 years, the license is permanently revoked. For applicants of special small automatic passenger vehicles for disabled individuals, a medical certificate from a designated provincial medical institution is required.

What is the difference between ATV and UTV?

Here is an introduction to the differences between ATV and UTV: 1. Structure: ATV stands for All Terrain Vehicle, commonly known as a "quad bike." It generally has an open design without a roof, comes in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations, and is simple, practical, and offers excellent off-road performance. The biggest difference from UTV is its fully open structure, using a motorcycle engine and handlebars, with many parts interchangeable with motorcycles, which is why it is sometimes referred to as a "four-wheel motorcycle." 2. Safety Performance: ATVs lack a roll cage, resulting in lower safety. UTV, derived from ATV, resembles a car more closely. It is controlled with a steering wheel, throttle, and pedals, and also comes in four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive versions, giving it more of an off-road vehicle feel. Additionally, UTVs are equipped with safety features like roll cages and seat belts, making them an upgraded version of ATVs.

Is It Safe to Buy a Mortgaged Car Without Transferring Ownership?

Mortgaged cars that cannot be transferred can be purchased, but buying such vehicles carries significant risks. Here are some precautions to consider when purchasing a mortgaged car: 1. Source: If you plan to buy a mortgaged car, it is essential to verify its source. If the car is stolen or involved in illegal activities, it must not be purchased. Even after purchase, such vehicles may be seized by law enforcement, resulting in substantial financial losses for the buyer. 2. Documents: Relevant documents must be provided by the lending institution, including a clear mortgage agreement and the borrower's identity information, such as a copy of their ID card. 3. Condition: Inspect the condition of the mortgaged car. Many mortgaged cars have underlying issues, such as major repairs or high mileage. Purchasing such vehicles may lead to numerous performance problems.

What is the Solution for Blue Screen in Rearview Camera?

Generally speaking, when the display shows no video signal input or a blue screen, it is usually due to signal input or camera issues. First, check if the video connector is loose. If there is no looseness and the screen remains blue, inspect whether the camera is functioning properly by connecting it to another display to see if an image appears. If there is still no image, it is recommended to reconnect the camera's power and data cables, as poor contact might be the cause. Below are some related details: 1. Display: The rearview camera system provides clear visibility even at night through infrared technology. Professional vehicle probes have enhanced anti-magnetic, shockproof, waterproof, and dustproof performance. The vehicle display uses TFT true color with anti-magnetic treatment to eliminate signal interference and flickering. It can receive two video inputs simultaneously and play VCD or DVD without a decoder. It also features automatic level switching and automatic on/off functionality for reverse viewing. The dashboard or rearview mirror display clearly shows the rear information captured by the rear camera. Additionally, two rearview cameras can be installed to eliminate blind spots during reversing. 2. Functionality: The car rearview camera is a comprehensive system that can be enhanced by adding a camera device and a vehicle display. Of course, the 360-degree panoramic view system addresses the limitations of relying solely on radar or a single rearview camera in China. The panoramic view system can output four video feeds, covering the front, rear, left, and right sides. Cameras are installed at the front, rear, and under the side mirrors. Controlled remotely, it automatically switches between views, which can be composed of four videos or a single video. This enhances vehicle security monitoring and driving safety.
