Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles must undergo annual inspection every 2 years within the first 6 years, once a year after exceeding 6 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law", family cars are exempt from inspection within the first 2 years and must undergo biennial inspections within the first 6 years. The consequences of overdue vehicle inspection are as follows: 1. Vehicles that fail to undergo annual inspection on time are not allowed on the road; 2. Driving a vehicle without timely annual inspection will result in 3 penalty points and a fine; 3. In case of a traffic accident involving a vehicle that has not undergone inspection, the party involved will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not compensate; 4. Driving without timely annual inspection is considered illegal driving and may result in vehicle impoundment; 5. According to the "Compulsory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles", vehicles that fail to obtain the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark for 3 consecutive inspection periods after the expiration of the inspection validity period will be forcibly scrapped.

Is a Dual Clutch an Automatic Transmission Car?

Dual clutch is an automatic transmission car. Dual clutch refers to the dual-clutch transmission, which simply means there are two sets of clutches working simultaneously—one managing the odd-numbered gears and the other managing the even-numbered gears. This design aims to avoid the power interruption issue during gear shifts in traditional manual transmissions, achieving the goal of rapid shifting. Pros and cons of dual-clutch transmissions: 1. The advantages of dual-clutch transmissions include high transmission efficiency, fast shifting speed, compact size, and low fuel consumption; 2. The disadvantages include low-speed jerkiness and relatively poor reliability, as incidents caused by dual-clutch failures or design defects are not uncommon.

Is it necessary to drive a new car at high speeds?

New cars do not need to be driven at high speeds. Here is an introduction to some other aspects related to driving a car at high speeds: 1. Driving at high speeds is a supplementary method for running-in a vehicle, but it is not essential. However, driving at high speeds appropriately can benefit the engine's running-in. The new pistons and camshafts inside the engine attempt to work rapidly for the first time, allowing them to have better intimate contact with each other. 2. It allows the transmission gears inside the gearbox to attempt high-speed rotation, making the engagement between the brand-new gears smoother. Driving at high speeds can help the car achieve good power in future driving and smoother gear shifting.
