Stock vehicles refer to those that remain unsold in inventory. As for what constitutes a stock vehicle and the duration of stock time, there are no explicit legal definitions or boundaries. Generally, it is considered a stock vehicle if it has been in inventory for 3 to 6 months after leaving the factory. Some may exceed 6 months or even a year, with extreme cases lasting several years. When picking up a vehicle, it is crucial to conduct a thorough inspection to avoid receiving a stock vehicle. Pay attention to the following points during the inspection: 1. Check the production dates of the tires and glass; significant discrepancies may indicate issues. 2. Ensure there are no scratches on the exterior and no stains on the interior. 3. Start the vehicle to check if the lights, electronic instruments, wipers, turn signal levers, dashboard, etc., are functioning properly. 4. Inspect the trunk to confirm the completeness of tools, such as the warning triangle, spare tire, etc.

Which province does the license plate starting with 'Hong' belong to?

As of now, there is no license plate in China that starts with the character 'Hong'. The first character of a license plate is a Chinese character representing the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the abbreviation of provinces, municipalities directly under the central government, and autonomous regions. The second character is an English letter, representing the prefecture-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the letter code for prefecture-level cities, regions, autonomous prefectures, and leagues. The combination of numbers and letters in the license plate serial number should be used in an orderly manner according to regulations. When the usage rate of the serial number exceeds 60%, the next combination method should be enabled in sequence after approval by the provincial public security traffic management department and reported to the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security for record.

What Do Tire Pressure Monitoring Data Represent?

Tire pressure monitoring data represent the air pressure of each tire. The recommended tire pressure should be between 220kPa and 280kPa. Pressures above 300kPa may increase the risk of a blowout, while pressures below 200kPa can lead to abnormal tire wear. Methods to check tire pressure monitoring data include: 1. Using a tire pressure monitor; 2. Detecting tire pressure changes through navigation; 3. Pressing the tire pressure monitoring button in the central control panel area. Tire pressure monitoring automatically and continuously measures tire pressure while driving, alerting the driver to leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. The system works by using pressure sensors installed in the tires to measure air pressure, then transmitting this data wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module.

Will parking violations with temporary license plates be fined?

Temporary license plate parking violations will be fined, and the penalty for temporary license plate violations must be paid promptly. Late payment will incur late fees, and demerit points may carry over to the next scoring cycle. Temporary license plates, also known as temporary vehicle movement permits, are paper motor vehicle license plates that allow temporary road use before formal registration. Issued by vehicle management authorities, they serve as provisional driving permits for newly purchased vehicles. The validity period of temporary plates generally does not exceed 30 days. Based on plate type, they can be categorized into: temporary plates for administrative jurisdictions, cross-jurisdictional temporary plates, test-use temporary plates, and special-type vehicle temporary plates.

How many points will be deducted for driving straight in the wrong lane?

Driving straight in the wrong lane will result in a deduction of 2 points. Penalties for not driving in the designated lane: According to Article 51 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, when a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic signals, it must enter the designated lane according to the intended direction of travel at intersections with marked lanes. If a driver does not follow the designated lane (i.e., drives in the wrong lane), they will generally be penalized with a deduction of 2 points and a fine. Common violations of not driving in the designated lane include: 1. Making a U-turn or left turn in sections where such actions are not allowed or prohibited; 2. Not following the guiding markings at intersections and driving in the corresponding lane; 3. Illegally entering a dedicated lane. Borrowing a lane: This refers to pedestrians crossing the roadway where there is no marked sidewalk, or vehicles entering other lanes when turning, meeting, overtaking, making a U-turn, or parking. It includes motor vehicles changing lanes, entering non-motorized lanes or sidewalks, and non-motorized vehicles entering motorized lanes or sidewalks. If there are no traffic signs in a parking lot indicating whether driving in the opposite direction is allowed, ignorance may be excused. Otherwise, if there are corresponding warning signs, traffic police can impose penalties. On the road, driving in the opposite direction is generally determined by traffic markings. On two-way roads, vehicles must drive on the right side. Occupying the opposite lane will result in penalties for driving in the wrong direction.

Can a car purchased from another location be registered locally?

A car purchased from another location can be registered locally, provided the following conditions are met: possession of the car purchase invoice and vehicle certification. Key considerations for registering a car bought elsewhere locally: 1. Purchase compulsory traffic insurance (CTI), as the CTI policy is required for registration and driving on the road, which is a national regulation; 2. Obtain temporary license plates—driving without either license plates or temporary plates is prohibited; 3. Before registration, prepare the original and a copy of the vehicle certification, the original purchase invoice, purchase tax payment, the owner's ID card, and the CTI policy (specific requirements can be confirmed in advance with the local vehicle management office); 4. Pay the purchase tax locally—if paid elsewhere, local registration will not be possible, as regulations require purchase tax to be paid at the tax department in the registration location, ensuring the payment location matches the registration location.
