A driver's license that has been expired for more than three years will be invalid. Motor vehicle drivers should apply for a license renewal at the vehicle management office of the driver's license issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of their motor vehicle driver's license. The license can be renewed if it has been expired for less than one year. Handling methods for overdue driver's licenses: If a driver's license has not been reviewed for more than one year but less than two years, the holder needs to retake the subject one exam and pass it before renewing the license. If a driver's license has not been reviewed for more than two years, the holder must return to the driving school to study and pass all three subject exams to obtain a new driver's license. Location for driver's license renewal: Driver's license renewal is processed at the vehicle management office. If the license has been expired for more than two years, passing the subject one exam can restore the normal use of the driver's license.

I remember experiencing the issue of an overdue driver's license myself. Last time, I was so busy with work that I forgot to renew it and only remembered after half a year. According to regulations, the maximum grace period for an overdue license is 12 months. This means that within 12 months, you can go to the DMV to get a new license without needing to take any tests—just the usual renewal procedures. However, if you exceed 12 months without renewal, you’ll have to retake the written test (Subject One), which can be quite a hassle. If the license is overdue for three or four years, it becomes completely invalid, and you’ll have to start from scratch. Driving with an overdue license is illegal and can result in fines up to 2,000 RMB, and insurance won’t cover any accidents during this period. I recommend setting a renewal reminder on your phone app—don’t be like me and procrastinate for months. It’s best to handle the renewal one or two months before the deadline to save yourself the trouble and stay safe. Twelve months is the absolute limit, so act early to avoid regrets.

Why Does It Take Three Days to Paint a Car at a 4S Shop?

4S shops typically require three days for car painting mainly because the process involves a complete set of treatment procedures that take a certain amount of time, ranging from two to three days for quick jobs to about a week for slower ones. 4S Shop Painting Process: The workflow includes receiving the vehicle, consultation, issuing a work order, and assigning tasks. When a car needs painting, the service advisor at the 4S shop will greet the owner, discuss the painting area and price, conduct a full vehicle inspection and confirmation, then proceed to issue a work order and hand it over to the workshop for task assignment. After receiving the order, the repair process begins, involving disassembly, repair, and restoration of the original position. Once the metalwork repair is completed, the car is transferred for painting. After smoothing out the metalwork, the painting process starts. This includes cleaning the repair area, mixing the paint to match the color, considering the painting angle, and masking non-repair areas. After pre-painting preparations, the actual painting begins. Car painting involves several steps: rust-proof paint, body filler, primer coat, intermediate primer, topcoat, and then paint surface treatment, including removing imperfections and mirror-finishing. This step usually takes about 1-2 hours. Finally, quality inspection and car washing are conducted before notifying the customer to pick up the vehicle. Purpose of Car Painting: Applying paint to a car not only forms a protective film on the surface, making the body less susceptible to corrosion and extending the vehicle's lifespan, but also provides an aesthetic appeal. Different car paints produce different effects, and choosing different types and colors can showcase the car's unique personality. Therefore, car paint is crucial to the vehicle itself.

Is it a violation to turn right from a straight lane when all lights are green?

Turning right when all lanes have a green light is considered a violation, as it constitutes driving not in accordance with the designated lane. When motor vehicles pass through an intersection controlled by traffic signals, they should enter the guiding lane according to the intended direction of travel at intersections with marked guiding lanes. If a vehicle going straight enters a left-turn or right-turn lane, electronic surveillance will immediately capture the violation. There are three main types of violations for not driving in accordance with the guiding lane: 1. Going straight by borrowing the left-turn lane; 2. Turning left by borrowing the straight lane; 3. Making a right turn arbitrarily from either the left-turn or straight lane. Traffic signals are lights that direct traffic flow, generally consisting of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to proceed, and a yellow light serves as a warning.

Is There a Toll for Entering the Highway the Day Before National Day and Exiting on National Day?

Entering the highway the day before National Day and exiting on National Day is toll-free, as holiday highway tolls are primarily determined by the time of exit. If the exit time falls outside the holiday period, tolls will be charged; if the exit time is within the holiday period, no toll will be charged. According to relevant regulations, the toll time for highways is determined by the time the vehicle exits the highway, while for ordinary roads, it is determined by the time the vehicle passes through the toll station. National Day Highway Travel Notes: 1. Drivers must maintain a good psychological state; 2. Vehicles must not park illegally; 3. Use lights when overtaking; 4. Do not make U-turns, reverse, or drive against traffic; 5. Do not throw objects on the highway.

Does coasting in neutral affect an automatic transmission car?

Coasting in neutral does affect an automatic transmission car, primarily impacting the transmission system. In severe cases, it may lead to transmission burnout. Additionally, coasting in neutral downhill may result in brake failure. Under normal driving conditions, an automatic transmission car won't coast in neutral. This usually occurs on uneven roads when the car is shifted to neutral without applying the brakes or engaging the handbrake, causing the vehicle to coast - most commonly happening downhill. Prolonged coasting in neutral can cause significant damage to the vehicle, severely affecting transmission performance. When coasting downhill in neutral, prolonged brake application may also potentially lead to brake failure.

Can Traffic Violation Points Be Processed on Weekends?

Traffic violation points can be processed on weekends, as traffic police departments have staff on duty who can handle such matters normally. The steps for processing traffic violation points are as follows: 1. The vehicle driver must bring their ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate to the traffic police department staff, who will confirm the vehicle's violation information and print out a penalty decision; 2. Take the penalty decision to the designated bank to pay the fine. Once the fine is paid, the violation will be cleared; 3. The printed penalty decision must be paid within 15 days. After 15 days, a 3% late fee will be charged daily, but the total late fee must not exceed the total amount of the fine.

What are the regulations for highway overtime?

Highway overtime refers to a vehicle exceeding 24 hours within the expressway network or 12 hours on the same expressway route, which requires payment of an overtime fee. Generally, highway overtime occurs when drivers rest for too long at service areas, causing the rest time to accumulate into the driving time on the expressway. Different provinces have varying approaches to handling overtime rest at service areas. Some provinces do not require any action, while others may require proof of rest at service areas to exclude the time from the driving duration. Common proofs include service area receipts, service area certificates, or dashcam footage.
