As a veteran driver with ten years of experience in Beijing, applying for an electronic driver's license is quite straightforward. First, you need to have a valid physical driver's license as a prerequisite. Then, download the Traffic Management 12123 App on your phone, which supports both iOS and Android. During account registration, complete the real-name authentication and ensure the information is correct. After logging in, find the electronic driver's license option on the main page, upload your driver's license photo and a personal selfie as required, and the system will automatically approve it in just a few minutes. It's incredibly convenient to use. Once, I forgot to bring my physical card when going out, and when the police checked, I simply showed the electronic version on my phone—scanning the QR code was enough to pass. However, it relies on your phone's battery, so I recommend carrying a power bank just in case. The benefits go beyond avoiding fines; it also saves time since you don’t need to rummage through your bag for the card. This policy, promoted in Beijing, is recognized nationwide, making it valid even when traveling to other cities. It’s definitely a major step forward in urban driving.

I just applied for an electronic driver's license in Beijing and would like to share my experience. First, download and install the Traffic Management 12123 App, then register an account and complete real-name verification using your ID card. Next, open the service menu and select 'Electronic Driver's License', then fill in your driver's license number and upload a photo as prompted. The approval process usually takes less than an hour, after which it's ready to use. The biggest advantage I found is that you don't have to worry about losing your card or forgetting to bring it – just show your phone during a traffic check and it's done quickly. However, you must have a physical driver's license linked to it, and keep the App updated to avoid functionality issues. The service efficiency in Beijing is high, and it's implemented nationwide, making it convenient for driving trips. I recommend all Beijing car owners try this policy to make traffic management smarter and easier.

Once approved, you can generate the electronic version, which is very convenient to use and avoids the embarrassment of forgetting your card. The benefit is that it's efficient and safe during checks. I recommend all Beijing drivers to apply for it, as it's applicable nationwide. Remember to keep your phone charged.

What is the Normal Reading for a Paint Thickness Gauge?

Paint thickness gauge readings between 120 to 180 microns are considered normal. The paint thickness gauge is primarily used to measure the thickness of a car's paint surface, thereby determining whether the vehicle's paint has been redone. Automotive paint consists of four layers, from the inside out: the electrocoat layer, primer layer, basecoat layer, and clearcoat layer. The electrocoat layer can be roughly considered as the paint layer directly attached to the car body's steel plate, hence it is also referred to as the primer. The primer layer is an intermediate layer between the electrocoat and basecoat layers, with relatively simple functions: it provides UV resistance, protects the electrocoat layer, enhances rustproofing capabilities, and also contributes to the smoothness and impact resistance of the paint surface. The basecoat layer is the colored paint layer that provides consumers with direct visual color perception. The clearcoat layer is the surface of the car paint, a transparent layer that can be directly touched with fingertips.

What to Do When the Steering Wheel Loses Control?

Steering wheel loss of control can be addressed by: 1. Lifting the accelerator; 2. Shifting the gear lever into a lower gear; 3. Applying the parking brake evenly and firmly; 4. When the vehicle speed significantly decreases, pressing the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a gradual stop. Steering wheels are categorized into: single-spoke, dual-spoke, triple-spoke, and quad-spoke. Their working principle involves transmitting torque to the rack-and-pinion mechanism, thereby enabling the wheels to turn left or right. The method for operating the steering wheel is: 1. Place both hands with appropriate force at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions on the steering wheel; 2. Naturally grip the wheel with fingers curled inward and thumbs extended naturally along the edge of the steering wheel.

The Difference Between Over-the-Line Parking and Running a Red Light?

When the traffic light is red, if the front wheels of the vehicle have just crossed the stop line and the vehicle stops immediately without moving further, it will not be considered as running a red light. However, if the vehicle continues to proceed in violation of the rules, it will be deemed as running a red light, resulting in a penalty of 6 demerit points. If the vehicle completes crossing the line and continues to move until it is completely over the line before stopping, thereby affecting the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians, it will be penalized as over-the-line parking. According to Article 10 of the new traffic regulations, failing to stop at the stop line will result in a penalty of 1 demerit point. Article 38 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states the following for motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle signal lights: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles and pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed provided they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. At intersections where there are no non-motor vehicle or pedestrian crossing signal lights, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the signals of the motor vehicle traffic lights. The new traffic regulations clearly define three necessary conditions for a vehicle to be considered as running a red light: The vehicle illegally crosses the stop line. The vehicle illegally enters the intersection. The vehicle illegally crosses the opposite stop line. Electronic police (traffic cameras) capture three complete video images to constitute a red light violation: an image of the vehicle at the moment of violation; an image of the vehicle's license plate; and a panoramic image. There are three scenarios regarding whether a vehicle is running a red light while driving: If the front wheels of the vehicle cross the stop line or both the front and rear wheels cross the stop line but the rear of the vehicle has not yet crossed the stop line and the vehicle stops immediately, traffic police will not penalize it as running a red light. However, the driver may be penalized for improper parking, resulting in 3 demerit points. If the front wheels of the vehicle cross the stop line, regardless of whether the entire vehicle has completely crossed the stop line, and the vehicle stops and then reverses back, being captured by traffic cameras with two complete movement images processed, it will be considered as running a red light, resulting in a penalty of 6 demerit points and a fine. If the entire vehicle completely crosses the stop line and stops or continues to proceed, and within one red light cycle, the electronic cameras capture the three complete images constituting a red light violation, regardless of whether the vehicle proceeds to the intersection or crosses the opposite stop line, it will be considered as running a red light, resulting in a penalty of 6 demerit points and a fine.
