Cars that are over 15 years old require two inspections per year. Additional information about vehicle annual inspections is as follows: 1. Qualified vehicles: Vehicles that pass the periodic inspection will have stamps affixed to both the vehicle license and the "Motor Vehicle Periodic Inspection Form." 2. Unqualified vehicles: Vehicles that fail the periodic inspection must be repaired within the specified time. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management authority has the right to confiscate the license plates and vehicle license of the unqualified vehicle, rendering it illegal to drive on the road or transfer ownership. 3. Vehicles that cannot be inspected: Vehicles that cannot undergo the periodic inspection due to special circumstances must apply for an extension in advance with the vehicle management authority. Vehicles stationed outside the jurisdiction can be inspected by the local vehicle management authority, which will then notify the original jurisdiction of the results. Vehicles that fail to undergo the periodic inspection without a valid reason are prohibited from driving on the road.

I remember that for family sedans, after 10 years of use, they generally require two annual inspections. This is because as a car ages, various parts deteriorate faster and are more prone to issues, such as worn brake pads or exhaust pipe leaks. Having driven for over a decade, I've seen many owners delay inspections until they're overdue, only to face fines and the hassle of repairs—it's just not worth it. Policies might vary slightly by region, so it's best to check the local traffic bureau's notices. Safety comes first, after all. Regular maintenance of tires and the engine can also extend the car's lifespan and save some money. Experienced drivers know that timely inspections not only avoid trouble but also ensure road safety. Before each inspection, I always do a quick check of the lights and chassis myself.

I just got my driver's license last year and bought a new car. While researching policies, I found out that family sedans require biannual inspections after 10 years of use. I specifically called a repair shop to confirm this. New drivers should be wary of higher risks as vehicles age, such as engine knocking or wiring deterioration. It's best to set a reminder to avoid missing the deadline and getting fined. I also followed discussions on automotive forums where everyone suggested checking the inspection records thoroughly before buying a used car to avoid future hassles. Simply put, the 10-year mark is a critical threshold—safe driving is more important than anything. I've already developed the habit of checking the coolant every quarter.

Family sedans require semi-annual inspections after ten years of use, for a simple reason: aging components are prone to failure. The annual inspection involves tests on the braking system, lighting, emissions, and other items. If the vehicle fails the inspection, timely repairs and re-inspection are necessary. Having driven several older cars, I deeply understand that regular maintenance can prevent accidents. Car owners should schedule appointments with authorized institutions in advance to avoid wasting time in queues. After all, policies are uniformly regulated, safety is no trivial matter, and developing a habit of regular maintenance is the way to go.

Having been a family car owner for many years, I've become particularly concerned about vehicle safety after having kids. Family sedans require biannual inspections after being driven for 10 years to ensure critical components like the steering system and air conditioning are functioning properly. These policies are based on extensive accident data, as older cars pose higher risks and are prone to undetected issues. I always choose authorized inspection centers for annual checks and promptly fix any minor problems found to prevent road accidents. Maintaining a car isn't easy, but when it comes to family safety, the investment is worthwhile. I recommend owners make preventive judgments based on mileage and change engine oil timely to prevent potential hazards.

What Does Car Insurance Cover?

Car insurance includes compulsory traffic insurance, vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, passenger liability insurance, total loss theft insurance, glass breakage insurance and other basic insurances, as well as additional insurances such as body scratch insurance, spontaneous combustion insurance, water driving insurance, cargo falling liability insurance, and no-deductible special liability insurance. Below is an introduction to some of the car insurances: 1. Vehicle damage insurance: Used to compensate for losses caused by natural disasters and accidents to the vehicle itself. It is recommended for beginners to purchase. 2. Third-party liability insurance: Used to compensate for losses caused by the car owner to third-party personal injuries or deaths. This must be purchased as it provides protection for both yourself and others. 3. No-deductible insurance: An additional insurance that transfers the responsibility the car owner needs to bear to the insurance company, reducing the owner's losses. If both vehicle damage insurance and third-party liability insurance are purchased, it is best to also purchase no-deductible insurance. 4. Theft insurance: Used to compensate for damages caused by vehicle theft, robbery, or seizure. It is recommended for new car owners without garages to purchase. 5. Passenger liability insurance: Used to compensate for losses suffered by the driver and passengers in the car due to traffic accidents. Premiums are generally paid per seat. It is recommended for beginners or family car owners to purchase.

When to Use Winter Tires?

Winter tires should be used when the temperature drops below 7°C. Extended relevant information is as follows: 1. Winter tires have a complex material composition that maintains softness in low temperatures, providing better grip and braking performance. 2. Winter tires feature intricate tread patterns with multiple grooves, offering excellent drainage and enhancing traction while reducing braking distance. 3. Winter tires typically have evenly distributed tread pressure, ensuring better ground adhesion and handling, with superior traction in snowy and icy conditions. 4. Winter tires differ from snow tires; snow tires have metal studs for better traction on snow and ice. Some regions prohibit the use of snow tires, so it's essential to check local regulations before use.

Is the Mercedes HOLD function the same as shifting to N gear?

Mercedes HOLD function is not the same as shifting to N gear. The design concept of HOLD is to eliminate the need to shift to neutral. Below are some introductions about the HOLD function and N gear: 1. HOLD function: The direct English translation is to hold or keep (something) in place. Current Mercedes models come standard with the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), and HOLD is a sub-function under this system, called the hold function. When this function is activated, whether the transmission is in D, N, or R gear, the vehicle will remain in a braking state even if the brake pedal is released. 2. N gear: N gear is called neutral. It is used for short-term parking. The engine and the drive shaft are completely separated at the transmission position, with no connection.

What Causes the Brake Caliper to Rattle on Rough Roads?

The brake caliper rattling on rough roads can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Piston ring seizure: The piston ring in the brake caliper may be seized. If this is the case, the brake caliper needs to be replaced. 2. Metal plate deformation: The metal plate that fixes the brake pads in the brake caliper may be deformed. If this is the issue, the metal plate of the brake pads needs to be replaced. 3. Function: The brake caliper is an essential component of the braking system, primarily responsible for pushing the brake pads to create friction with the brake disc, thereby reducing speed or bringing the vehicle to a stop. 4. Working principle: When the brake pedal is pressed, the master cylinder generates thrust to push hydraulic fluid to the caliper. The piston inside the caliper moves under hydraulic pressure to push the brake pads.
