There is no specific regulation on the time for licensing a new car, but temporary license plates or formal licensing must be obtained before driving on the road. Traffic Safety Law stipulates: The "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" clearly stipulates that vehicles driving on the road must display license plates as required, and those failing to do so will be penalized. However, before obtaining formal license plates, temporary motor vehicle license plates must be applied for as required to drive on the road. The use of temporary license plates for new cars must not exceed 15 days, and the owner should promptly apply for formal license plates from the vehicle management authority. Validity period of temporary license plates: The vehicle management office may issue temporary license plates no more than three times. For ordinary new car drivers, the maximum duration for using temporary license plates is 45 days.

Should lead-acid batteries be recharged after depletion or frequently?

If an electric vehicle is frequently used, it's better to charge it regularly. This is because electric vehicle batteries are generally lead-acid batteries, whose service life is determined by the number of charge-discharge cycles, approximately around 350 times. This means that after 350 normal charge-discharge cycles, the battery has essentially completed its service life. Relevant information about automotive batteries is as follows: Introduction: Automotive batteries, also known as storage batteries, are a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, what people refer to as batteries are lead-acid storage batteries. That is, a type of battery mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Working principle: It uses lead plates filled with spongy lead as the negative electrode, lead plates filled with lead dioxide as the positive electrode, and 22-28% dilute sulfuric acid as the electrolyte. During charging, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy, and during discharging, chemical energy is converted back into electrical energy.

What is the entire process of the Subject 3 driving test?

Subject 3 driving test process: Preparation before starting: First, enter the vehicle and verify identity information. After confirmation by the safety officer, exit the vehicle to perform a walk-around inspection. Once safety is confirmed, re-enter the vehicle to adjust mirrors and seat position, while checking if the gear, handbrake, and lights are reset. Starting the vehicle: Activate the left turn signal and check the rear traffic by turning your head. After confirming safety, sound the horn and slowly enter the left lane. Note: Start in first gear, release the clutch slowly, and apply appropriate throttle to prevent stalling. The starting phase requires smooth operation—no rolling back, jerking, or stalling. Driving in a straight line: While driving straight may seem the simplest task, many fail here. Due to high usage of test vehicles and operation by novices, the vehicle may not drive straight even when the steering wheel is centered, indicating inaccurate alignment. In this situation, the student should focus on the distant view, making minor steering adjustments (excessive movement leads to failure) to maintain a straight path rather than keeping the wheel fixed.
