Cars over 15 years old require two inspections per year. Vehicle annual inspection refers to the annual inspection of vehicles that have already obtained official license plates and registration certificates, conducted according to the 'Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety'. Annual inspection precautions: Make sure to clear any traffic violations in advance and prepare the vehicle properly, otherwise it will not pass the inspection. Only when the vehicle has no violations and is in good condition can it pass the annual inspection. The vehicle's appearance must match the appearance on the registration certificate, and illegal modifications are not allowed. If the car has been modified with body kits, spoilers, or rims without filing with the vehicle management office, it must be restored to its original factory condition before the annual inspection. Vehicle inspection process: After entering the motor vehicle inspection site, take photos to confirm the motorcycle's appearance; fill out forms and pay fees, and be sure to keep the receipt after payment; after payment, submit the forms to the inspection line staff and wait for the online inspection; once the inspection is passed, the vehicle can be driven away.

Speaking of vehicle inspections, private cars generally require biannual checks once they exceed 15 years of service. Take my 17-year-old classic car as an example - it needs two inspection station visits annually. Each time involves long queues for brake, lighting, and emission tests, which is quite time-consuming. But there's good reason: older vehicles experience accelerated part deterioration, raising safety risks like brake failure or electrical fires. I'd advise owners not to skip inspections to avoid fines - safety comes first. These checks help identify hidden issues for early repairs, preventing more troublesome roadside breakdowns. Remember, once your car crosses that 15-year threshold, treat these inspections as routine maintenance.

Is Honda Gasoline Cleaner Necessary?

Honda gasoline cleaner is necessary. The primary purpose of Honda gasoline cleaner is to improve the combustibility of gasoline, thereby saving fuel and reducing the damage of carbon deposits to the car engine. Honda gasoline cleaner can effectively prevent the formation of carbon deposits, remove sediments caused by low-quality gasoline, and clean carbon deposits on valves and fuel injectors, improving the engine's combustion efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions. Engines with direct injection technology spray fuel directly into the cylinder, and most Honda car engines are direct injection. When using fuel additives, the area above the engine's intake valve cannot be cleaned. To clean carbon deposits above the intake valve, the engine must be disassembled to completely remove the carbon deposits.

What is the meaning of the jagged white solid line?

It is a variable direction lane marking. It allows for left turns, right turns, or going straight, depending on the traffic signal or road signs. Two solid white lines indicate fixed direction lanes. Below is a detailed introduction to variable direction lane markings: 1. Introduction: Variable direction lane markings mean that the direction after entering the lane must be determined according to the signal light corresponding to the lane. Variable direction lanes are flexible, unlike ordinary lane markings where the direction is indicated by road markings. Variable direction lane markings are usually set up on road sections with complex traffic conditions. 2. Lane requirements: These are lanes where the direction can be changed according to traffic flow. This is mainly for sections where traffic is concentrated during peak hours but there are fewer lanes, or where there is a significant difference in traffic flow between morning and evening peak hours.
