Non-commercial vehicles and commercial vehicles have different scrapping regulations, as detailed below: Scrapping regulations for non-commercial vehicles: For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as small and micro non-commercial vehicles, there is no usage lifespan limit. However, when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the government will recommend scrapping. In addition to the above vehicles, small and micro non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage lifespan limit. Scrapping regulations for common commercial vehicles: Small and micro taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping lifespan of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping lifespan of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping lifespan of 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrapping lifespan of 13 years, while other small and micro commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping lifespan of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping lifespan of 15 years. Micro commercial trucks have a scrapping lifespan of 8 years, while light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping lifespan of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The vehicle owner must fill out and submit the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, or Scrapping Approval Application Form" and affix their seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping lifespan. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping lifespan, the motor vehicle inspection office will determine if they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" if applicable. The vehicle owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle based on the "Notice." The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice." The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the chassis must be cut. The vehicle owner must submit the "Change Form," "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form," "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate," and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor vehicle inspection office for verification and approval. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," if a vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner may submit the vehicle for scrapping to a local motor vehicle recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to non-commercial use, it must still be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle scrapping timeline. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," after completing a vehicle transfer or deregistration, the original owner may apply to use the original license plate number for a newly purchased vehicle when registering it. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) submitted within six months after the transfer or deregistration; (2) the owner must have owned the original vehicle for at least three years.

Under what circumstances should fog lights be used?

Circumstances requiring the use of fog lights: When visibility is less than 200 meters during rainy or foggy weather, motor vehicles should turn on their fog lights. When driving at night in urban areas without fog, do not use fog lights. Front fog lights without shades can make the vehicle lights dazzling and affect driving safety. Since fog lights are brighter than regular vehicle lights and have strong scattering, traffic regulations in many countries clearly stipulate: It is prohibited to turn on fog lights when visibility is good. Whether it's front fog lights or rear fog lights, if they don't light up, it indicates that the bulb has burned out and must be replaced. However, if they are not completely broken but only dimmer, with red and dull light, you must not take it lightly, as this may be a precursor to failure, and reduced lighting capability is also a major safety hazard for driving.

How to Increase Engine Compression Ratio?

Methods to increase engine compression ratio: 1. Grind the cylinder head. Proper grinding can level an originally uneven cylinder head; 2. Add fixtures inside the combustion chamber. By fixing objects that occupy a certain volume in the combustion chamber, the gas volume in the combustion chamber is reduced, thereby increasing the compression ratio; 3. Replace with a thinner cylinder gasket. The cylinder gasket occupies a certain volume in the combustion chamber. Reducing the thickness of the cylinder gasket or using a thin steel cylinder gasket can decrease the combustion chamber volume, correspondingly increasing the compression ratio; 4. Modify the piston. This can enhance piston strength, reduce piston mass, and decrease friction between the piston and cylinder; 5. Replace the connecting rod. Increasing the length between the small end and the big end of the connecting rod changes the distance between the top and bottom dead centers, making the combustion chamber volume smaller and thus increasing the compression ratio.
