There are no national regulations requiring the unified scrapping of National II vehicles in 2021. The scrapping regulations for private vehicles remain: vehicles will be forcibly scrapped only when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers or if they fail to undergo annual inspections for three consecutive years. Previously, the state set a 15-year limit for mandatory scrapping. However, many owners had driven their cars for 15 years with very low mileage and good vehicle condition. Now, switching to mileage-based scrapping guidance is more reasonable. Extended content: Methods to protect your vehicle are as follows: 1. Body maintenance: Regularly wash your car's body. Car washing should not be taken lightly; improper cleaning can damage the outer clear coat, leading to a dull finish on your car's paint. Use a neutral and mild detergent to remove sand particles and dirt from the car's paint surface. 2. Cabin cleaning: Cabin cleanliness is related to the health of your entire family. Neglecting cabin hygiene can easily lead to bacterial growth, which is detrimental to the physical and mental health of your family. In fact, with the appropriate use of some auxiliary tools, cabin cleaning can be done easily. A car vacuum cleaner is a great cleaning assistant. 3. Tire maintenance: Since tires are in constant contact and friction with the ground, they are more prone to damage. Without proper maintenance, it is difficult to ensure driving safety. Therefore, daily car maintenance should not overlook details like tire care.

Can only one ETC be installed per vehicle?

Each vehicle can only register for one ETC. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application Service of Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) on Highways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, ETC registration is tied to the vehicle's license. If you own multiple vehicles, you can use different licenses to register for ETC. Documents required for ETC registration: The vehicle owner's original valid ID card, the original and a copy of the vehicle's license (the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp), and if registering on behalf of someone else, the original valid ID card of the proxy. If registering for ETC through major bank branches, you will also need a debit or credit card from the respective bank. Some banks only support ETC binding with credit cards, while others may require freezing a portion of the amount as a deposit when binding with a debit card. The current year's vehicle insurance policy is also required. For corporate registrations, the handler's ID (or driver's license), the company's organization code certificate (or business license), and the company seal are needed. ETC billing principles: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with banks, the system achieves the purpose of paying tolls without stopping at toll stations, all based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by avoiding stops at toll stations; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by minimizing frequent starts and stops, lowering wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council's "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" explicitly states the goal of "achieving interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters by 2020 and significantly increasing the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC," with a specific target of "50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020." Future possibilities: Beyond improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, future efforts will promote ETC use for trucks and explore deeper integration of ETC systems with vehicle-to-vehicle communication, vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination, and other smart transportation developments, providing comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, maintain a distance of over 10 meters to prevent automatic fee deduction for the wrong vehicle due to ETC device failure or absence. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h. Speeding may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and billing failure. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, will render the tag invalid. It can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or a highway service center for inspection. If the issue is not due to human interference, reactivation may suffice. Insufficient balance when using a debit card linked to ETC will cause billing failure. Follow on-site staff guidance to use manual MTC lanes with cash or card payment. Thick windshields may cause poor signal reception, especially for vehicles with replaced or modified windshields after accidents.

How Many Points Are Deducted for Making a U-Turn at an Intersection?

On regular roads, making an illegal U-turn results in 3 penalty points and a fine; making a U-turn at a left-turn intersection is considered a traffic violation for not following the designated lane, resulting in 2 penalty points and a fine; making a U-turn, reversing, or driving in the opposite direction at a highway intersection results in 12 penalty points and a fine. Permissible U-turn situations are as follows: U-turn signal or sign: When there is a U-turn signal at the intersection, a U-turn can be made when the U-turn signal is green; if there is a U-turn sign at the intersection or a U-turn indicator on the lane, a U-turn can be made while ensuring the safety of oneself and others. No U-turn sign but left turns are allowed (no prohibition of U-turn signs or markings): Vehicles can make a U-turn at intersections where left turns are permitted and no prohibition of U-turn signs or markings are present. It is important to note that vehicles must proceed according to the left-turn signal without affecting the normal movement of other vehicles. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left-turn waiting area, vehicles can first enter the left-turn waiting area when the straight signal is green and wait until the left-turn signal turns green to make the U-turn. U-turns are allowed at dashed lines: Whether it is a white or yellow dashed line, U-turns are permitted. For double yellow lines with one solid and one dashed, check if the side you are on is dashed—if so, a U-turn can be made safely; if it is solid, U-turns are not allowed.

What do Gross Vehicle Weight and Curb Weight mean?

Gross Vehicle Weight refers to the total weight of a fully equipped vehicle, including passengers (including the driver) and cargo, as per regulations. Curb Weight refers to the weight of the vehicle when it is ready to operate under normal conditions, without passengers (including the driver) or cargo. Illegal Operations: Transport authorities specify that the following five scenarios should be identified as over-limit and over-load vehicles and must be corrected: two-axle vehicles with a total weight of body and cargo exceeding 20 tons, three-axle vehicles exceeding 30 tons, four-axle vehicles exceeding 40 tons, five-axle vehicles exceeding 50 tons, and six-axle or more vehicles exceeding 55 tons. Traffic police departments will temporarily confiscate the driver's license if the cargo weight exceeds the registered weight on the vehicle registration certificate by more than 30 tons, even if none of the above five scenarios apply. Vehicles that have already been penalized or unloaded on the same day and whose post-unloading weight matches the records on the relevant certificates should not be penalized or unloaded again. Considerations: The curb weight of a vehicle affects fuel consumption. Generally, vehicles with higher curb weights consume more fuel. For household car purchases, it is advisable to prioritize economical, small-displacement cars to achieve fuel efficiency.

Is It Okay to Run the Car Air Conditioner Without Turning Off the Engine?

It is possible to run the car air conditioner without turning off the engine, but it is not recommended. If the car is not started, the air conditioner will not have a cooling function and will only blow natural air. After a period of use, the car's battery will be depleted, making it difficult to start the car. Consequences of running the car air conditioner without turning off the engine: When the air conditioner is turned on without starting the car, the air blown out is natural air from the blower. This is because the air conditioner compressor is driven by the engine's power, and when the car is turned off, the compressor naturally does not work. The blower's natural air is powered by the battery. Therefore, running the air conditioner for a long time without starting the car will lead to battery depletion. Precautions for using the car air conditioner: When using the car air conditioner, follow the principle that cold air sinks and hot air rises. The correct approach is to direct the air vents upward when cooling and downward when heating. Not using the air conditioner for extended periods can harm the air conditioner itself, but running it continuously for too long can also be harmful to health. Therefore, each use of the air conditioner should not be too long. If the interior temperature has reached a comfortable level, you can turn off the air conditioner and turn it back on after a while.
