For a 2012 vehicle, according to the inspection regulations, it should undergo inspection every 2 years. After the implementation of the new regulations on November 20, 2020, the inspection must be conducted in the current year, and a motor vehicle inspection certificate valid for 2 years will be issued after the inspection. If the vehicle is new and within 6 years, it can be exempted from inspection twice (an inspection label must be applied for every 2 years, but the vehicle does not need to undergo on-site testing); in the 6th and 8th years, the vehicle must undergo on-site testing. Extension: For private vehicles over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies, i.e., vehicles aged 10 to 15 years must be inspected once a year, and vehicles over 15 years old must be inspected every 6 months.

How wide is 30cm in the rearview mirror?

In the rearview mirror, 30cm is approximately the width of two fingers. Here are specific techniques for finding 30cm: 1. Observe the position of the hood: After hearing the voice prompt, you need to drive forward and stay to the right. When you see the right front corner of the hood (about 1/3 of its length) align with the roadside line, the distance between the car body and the roadside line is exactly 30cm. 2. Look at the raised part of the wiper: From the driver's seat, when the raised part of the wiper aligns with the right roadside line, the distance is about 30cm. 3. Look at the right front door handle: Observe the right front door handle in the right rearview mirror. If the right front door handle is tangent to the right roadside line, the distance is 30cm; if it's too far, you need to adjust the direction slightly; if it's too close, there's a risk of crossing the line.

Why did the brake disc turn black?

The blackening of the brake disc indicates severe oxidation, and it needs to be replaced promptly. More knowledge about brake discs is as follows: 1. Overview: The brake disc is a round disc that rotates as the vehicle moves. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force. When the brake is applied, it clamps the brake disc to slow down or stop the vehicle. Brake discs offer excellent braking performance and are easier to maintain than drum brakes. 2. Features: Brakes include disc brakes, drum brakes, and air brakes. Older vehicles often have disc brakes in the front and drum brakes in the rear, while many newer vehicles have disc brakes on both front and rear wheels. Disc brakes dissipate heat better than drum brakes, making them less prone to thermal fade during high-speed braking, thus providing superior high-speed braking performance. However, their braking effectiveness is inferior to drum brakes during low-speed cold braking.

What is a Spark Plug Made of?

A spark plug consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and metal shell. Spark plugs are installed on the side or top of an engine. In early designs, spark plugs were connected to the distributor via ignition cables. Over the past decade, most passenger car engines have adopted direct coil-on-plug ignition systems where ignition coils connect directly to spark plugs. Main types of spark plugs include: Standard spark plugs, projected insulator spark plugs, electrode spark plugs, seat spark plugs, surface gap spark plugs, and surface discharge spark plugs. Spark plug working principle: The spark plug's ground electrode connects to the metal shell, which is threaded into the engine block via the cylinder head. The insulator primarily isolates the metal shell from the center electrode. The terminal nut serves as the contact point for the high-voltage coil. When current passes through the terminal nut and center electrode, it ionizes the medium between the center electrode and ground electrode to generate a spark, thereby igniting the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.

Is it allowed to drive without wearing a shirt?

There is no specific regulation in laws and regulations regarding this, so theoretically, it is permissible to drive bare-chested, but it is not recommended. Here are some relevant details: 1. The "Road Traffic Safety Regulations of the People's Republic of China" stipulate: When driving a vehicle, one must carry a driver's license and vehicle registration certificate. It is prohibited to lend, alter, or forge a driver's license, or to hand over the vehicle to someone without a driver's license. 2. Additional information: The "Road Traffic Safety Regulations of the People's Republic of China" states that when carrying passengers in a motor vehicle, the following rules must be observed: The number of passengers must not exceed the limit specified on the vehicle registration certificate. Cargo vehicles are not allowed to carry both passengers and goods simultaneously. However, large cargo vehicles can carry one to five accompanying or loading personnel during short-distance transportation, provided that safe seating space is maintained. When the height of the cargo exceeds the sides of the cargo compartment, passengers are not allowed to ride on top of the cargo.
