For private cars aged between 6 to 10 years, the inspection frequency remains biennial, with mandatory on-site inspections required in the 6th and 8th years. From 10 to 15 years, annual inspections are required, and for vehicles over 15 years old, inspections must be conducted every six months. Below are specific details about the new vehicle inspection regulations: Optimized inspection cycles: For private cars older than 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection cycle has been relaxed from annual to biennial. For private cars over 10 years old, the original inspection cycles still apply, i.e., annual inspections for vehicles aged 10-15 years, and semi-annual inspections for vehicles over 15 years. Expanded exemption scope for private cars: Building upon the existing exemption for non-commercial mini and micro passenger vehicles with 6 or fewer seats within 6 years, the exemption scope has been further extended to include non-commercial mini and micro passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats within 6 years.

When I first started driving, private cars were inspected every two years for the first six years. After six years, the inspection became annual. This regulation is quite reasonable because as a car ages, its components deteriorate, increasing safety risks. I always make an appointment in advance before the inspection to avoid wasting time and energy in queues. The inspection process includes checking the brakes, lights, tires, engine, and exhaust emissions. If any issues are found, they should be repaired promptly. For example, once my car lights were found to be faulty, and fixing them prevented a potential nighttime accident. I recommend setting a phone reminder to avoid missing the inspection date, as failing to do so can result in fines and penalty points. The inspection fee is affordable, usually around 100 to 200 yuan. Regular inspections ensure driving safety, which is both a responsibility and a wise practice.

Within how many meters of a turn is parking prohibited?

Parking is prohibited within 50 meters of a turn. Here is some relevant information about parking: 1. Introduction to parking: Parking a car in a compliant, convenient, and safe location requires following certain steps to ensure the safety of the vehicle's occupants, the car itself, pedestrians, and other vehicles. Depending on the situation, there are several types of parking: temporary parking, short-term parking, long-term parking, and emergency parking. 2. Rules for short-term parking: If parking along the roadside in a designated space parallel to the road, park as close to the right side as possible, leaving at least half a meter of space at both the front and rear of the car. After parking, it's best to fold in the side mirrors before leaving. If parking in an open parking lot, try to choose a spacious spot along the straight lanes, positioning the car's front toward the aisle for easier exit. Avoid parking on curves to prevent scratches or dents.

What Causes the Rear Air Conditioning in Baojun 730 to Not Cool?

Baojun 730 rear air conditioning not cooling reasons are as follows: Preference for using external circulation: The reason for poor air conditioning performance is that many car owners prefer to use external circulation. Over time, the air filter gets clogged, and many people don't even know where to check the filter, which naturally affects the airflow and ultimately makes it feel less cool. Improper closure of the cold/heat air door: Inside the air conditioning system assembly, the cold/heat air door does not close tightly. This is related to the vehicle assembly process, such as installing the heater control cable. The control knob must be turned to the extreme end of either the heating or cooling position; otherwise, the air door will not close properly. The luxury version does not have this issue because it uses an electronic actuator. However, in the luxury version, if the air door does not close completely, hot air leakage can occur, making the air conditioning less cool.

Types of Gears in Automatic Transmission Cars?

There are two types: pure automatic transmission and manual-automatic transmission. Pure automatic transmissions generally have P, R, N, D, D3/D2/D1; manual-automatic transmissions have P, R, N, D, 2 (or S), L (or 1), etc. Here is a related introduction about automatic transmission cars: 1. Introduction to Automatic Transmission Cars: Generally, cars equipped with automatic transmissions (AT) adjust speed automatically. While driving, the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and manual gear-shifting operations. 2. Operational Characteristics of Automatic Transmission Cars: In modern automatic transmission cars, the driver only needs to control the accelerator pedal. The computer analyzes signals from sensors that detect the engine throttle opening and vehicle speed, automatically controlling gear shifts or engaging different gears. Generally, automatic transmissions result in some loss of engine power.
