Two labels need to be affixed on the car windshield, namely the annual inspection compliance label and the compulsory traffic insurance label. The annual inspection compliance label indicates that the vehicle meets roadworthiness requirements, and its color varies by year for easy identification. Traffic police typically check the compulsory traffic insurance label during roadside inspections. If a vehicle lacks this label or the insurance has expired, the public security traffic management department will impound the vehicle and impose penalties. Both the compulsory insurance policy and its label bear the notation 'Supervised by China Insurance Regulatory Commission.' The policy is brown, with main text printed using internationally advanced red fluorescent anti-counterfeit ink, and the underline consists of microprinted text, offering good anti-counterfeiting features.

I've been driving for many years and remember that there are usually two stickers to be placed on the windshield: one is the motor vehicle annual inspection sticker, proving the vehicle has passed inspection, and the other is the compulsory traffic insurance sticker, confirming the insurance is valid. This is not just a regulation—otherwise, the police may issue a fine during checks. I was once reminded for applying them late. In some areas, an environmental protection sticker is also required, depending on local policies. The stickers should be placed lower to avoid blocking the view, as it can affect safety. Nowadays, many cities are promoting digitalization, allowing drivers to show the information on their phones, reducing the use of physical stickers. Discussing these changes is quite interesting—earlier, there were more stickers, and they were difficult to remove, but now the process is simplified, saving both money and hassle. As a car owner, I believe it’s important to regularly check these matters and not be careless.

Over the years of driving, I've noticed the number of required windshield stickers keeps changing. In earlier days, we had to display three stickers: annual inspection, insurance, and environmental compliance, which became worn, unsightly and even hazardous over time. After policy adjustments, some regions eliminated the environmental sticker, leaving just two mandatory ones. Now with digitalization, cities like Beijing and Shanghai allow drivers to show inspection and insurance info via apps, eliminating physical stickers entirely. During my recent vehicle inspection, I was pleasantly surprised to learn one less sticker was required. This progress is commendable - reducing resource waste while improving driving visibility. For veteran drivers like me, it's a welcome change that eliminates the sticker hassle.

When I first bought a car, I didn't know how many decals to affix either. Through inquiries and experience, I learned that generally two key ones need to be placed on the windshield: one is the annual vehicle inspection compliance sticker, and the other is the compulsory insurance decal. Some regions may require an environmental protection label, but this isn't common. It's essential to affix them correctly and not too high to obstruct the driver's view, otherwise, you may face penalties for violations. This concerns the basic legality and safety of driving, so I recommend that new drivers pay more attention to updates in local regulations.

I always prioritize compliance when driving, so I've carefully studied the sticker requirements. Currently, it's mandatory to display two stickers on the windshield: the annual inspection sticker and the compulsory traffic insurance sticker. This is to avoid being fined during roadside checks. The stickers should be placed at the lower right corner of the driver's side to minimize obstruction of vision. Although digitalization is becoming popular, during this transition period, we still need to display physical stickers to ensure full compliance. I believe this is essential for public road management, and vehicle owners shouldn't neglect this responsibility.

Nowadays, with the trend of digitalization in driving, the number of stickers on windshields has significantly decreased. For instance, many places allow drivers to check vehicle inspection and insurance information by scanning QR codes, so only one or even no sticker is needed, making it more aesthetically pleasing and safer. Personally, my car currently has just one sticker because the local area is still in a transition period, but I believe full digitalization is the future—it's both eco-friendly and convenient. Not having to stick papers is definitely a good thing. Discussing technological progress, it truly simplifies life. With apps enabling quick queries, why clutter the windshield with papers that obstruct the view?

Can Car Gasoline and Engine Oil Be Used in Motorcycles?

Car gasoline and engine oil cannot be used in motorcycles. Below are the detailed reasons why car gasoline and engine oil are unsuitable for motorcycles: 1. Reason: Motorcycles cannot use car gasoline or engine oil because the rotational characteristics of motorcycle engines differ from those of car engines. Motorcycles require specialized engine oil, often referred to as the 'lifeblood of the engine.' Without engine oil, the motorcycle engine cannot function properly. 2. Function of Engine Oil: Inside the engine, oil not only lubricates but also cleans, seals, cushions, prevents rust, and dissipates heat. Specifically, when the engine is running, the oil forms a protective film on the surfaces of various components, preventing direct contact and friction between parts.

How to Deal with Paint Spilled on a Car?

Paint spilled on a car can be handled as follows: 1. If the paint is still wet, you can rinse it with water, then scrub with alcohol, and polish once after scrubbing. If the paint has already dried, it can only be removed with a grinder. 2. Go to a 4S shop. After the entire car is sprayed with paint at the factory, it needs to be baked at a temperature of around 180°. 3. Use low-temperature baking paint specifically provided by paint suppliers for touch-ups. 4. Automotive paint cleaner can also be used. Excellent car factories can use advanced processes and quality control to minimize the speed of fading.

Which Gear to Use for Long-Term Parking?

For manual transmission vehicles during long-term parking, shift to N gear and engage the handbrake. For automatic transmission vehicles during long-term parking, shift to P gear and engage the handbrake. Below are detailed explanations regarding gear selection for long-term parking: 1. Conditions for using N gear: Shift to N gear when parking. Manual transmission vehicles should shift to N gear when parking, but automatic transmission vehicles have an additional P gear compared to manual ones. Essentially, the key difference between these two gears is that P gear has an extra locking mechanism compared to N gear. 2. Conditions for using P gear: When using P gear, try to avoid parking on uneven ground or slopes. This is because when P gear is engaged, the locking mechanism secures the transmission gears, which indirectly locks the wheels. Parking on uneven ground or slopes can place additional stress on P gear's locking mechanism, potentially leading to damage.

What to Do When the Motorcycle Keyhole Gets Locked?

Solutions for a locked motorcycle keyhole: Use the original key with a magnetic head of the same shape to unlock it. Below is relevant information about motorcycle engines: 1. Air-cooling system: There are two types—natural air cooling and forced air cooling. Most models rely on natural air cooling, where air passing over the cylinder head and cooling fins on the cylinder sleeve dissipates heat during riding. High-power motorcycle engines use forced air cooling, which includes a fan and air duct to direct airflow over the cooling fins, ensuring engine cooling at low speeds or before starting. 2. RPM: Motorcycle engines typically run at high RPMs, usually above 5,000 RPM. They also have a high power-to-displacement ratio (effective power output per liter of engine displacement), generally around 60 kW/liter. This indicates that motorcycle engines are highly optimized with compact external dimensions.
