Article 57 of the "Traffic Regulations Penalty Points Rules": Motor vehicle drivers should apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the original issuing location or elsewhere within 90 days before the expiration of their motor vehicle driver's license. If the driver's license expires, traffic police will impose a fine upon inspection but will not deduct points. There is also a latest deadline for license renewal. If it expires for less than a year, the renewal can proceed through the normal process; if it expires between one to three years, the license will be canceled, and the driver can retake the subject one exam to regain the license; if it expires for more than three years, the license will be canceled. When applying, the applicant must fill out an application form and submit the following documents and proofs: the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver; the motor vehicle driver's license; a medical condition proof issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military regiment-level or higher medical unit. For applications related to small automatic passenger vehicles for the disabled, a medical condition proof issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority must be submitted. Relevant matters for renewing the driver's license upon expiration: The driver's license can be renewed within 90 days before its expiration. You can apply for renewal at the local vehicle management office or online. When renewing, after filling out the renewal application as needed, the applicant must bring their ID card, driver's license, medical examination report, and other relevant materials. For the driver's license renewal, a recent one-inch color photo with a white background and no hat must be used. If the photo is not compliant, a new compliant photo must be taken. After the motor vehicle driver's license is renewed, the original license becomes invalid and cannot be used again. The driver must properly keep the personal information on the driver's license and not discard it randomly to avoid information leakage, which could lead to issues in the use of the driver's license. Regarding renewal: Before renewal, all relevant traffic violations must be resolved; otherwise, the application will not be accepted. Processing location: The driver's license renewal can be processed at the vehicle management office of the original issuing location or elsewhere. Photos and medical examination proofs required for renewal can be prepared in advance. If concerned about non-compliance, they can be processed directly at the traffic police office to save time.

I just heard that when a C1 driver's license is about to expire, you can apply for a renewal up to three months in advance. This regulation was set by the national transportation department, mainly to make it easier for everyone to schedule their time and avoid missing the renewal deadline due to procrastination. A few years ago, when I renewed my license, I went to the local traffic management office 90 days in advance—the process was quite simple: just bring your ID card, the original driver's license, a one-inch photo, and fill out a form. If you delay until after the expiration date, you may face fines or even have to retake the written test (Subject 1), which is too much hassle. So, I recommend friends start paying attention to reminders about two months before their license expires to ensure uninterrupted driving safety. Recently, a colleague of mine forgot to renew their license, causing travel disruptions—it really wasn’t worth the trouble. Handling it on time makes life easier. Additionally, you can now book the renewal process online; with advanced technology, things are more efficient these days. Don’t let a small issue affect your daily driving habits.

What are the warning lights on the car dashboard?

Car dashboard warning lights include: engine oil warning light, coolant temperature warning light, tire pressure warning light, battery warning light, and electronic stability control (ESC) indicator. The engine oil warning light often indicates low oil level, which is relatively simple to address by adding oil, and car owners can handle it themselves. The coolant temperature warning light typically signals overheating. When the coolant temperature in the radiator reaches 100°C while driving, this light will illuminate. If the tire pressure warning light comes on, it's important to determine whether the pressure is too high or too low. Excessive pressure can lead to tire blowouts while driving, so the tire pressure should be reduced. The battery indicator displays the working status of the car battery and is usually red or yellow in color. When turning the key for a self-check, this light will turn on and should automatically turn off after starting the car. The ESC indicator shows the working status of the electronic stability control system and is typically yellow. Normally, this light is off. If it stays on, it may indicate that the ESC system has been turned off, usually due to accidental operation by the driver.

How Does a Tire Pressure Monitoring System Work?

Tire pressure monitoring systems operate differently based on their monitoring methods: 1. Direct TPMS: Uses pressure sensors installed inside the tires to measure air pressure, transmitting pressure data wirelessly from within the tire to a central receiver module; 2. Indirect TPMS: When tire pressure decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to reduce, monitoring tire pressure by comparing rotational speed differences between tires. The functions of tire pressure monitoring are: 1. Preventing accidents; 2. Extending tire service life; 3. Reducing wear on the suspension system.
