There is no direct way to apply for a lifetime exemption from driver's license inspection. The only way to achieve this is by replacing your current driver's license with a long-term valid motor vehicle driver's license. To qualify for a long-term valid motor vehicle driver's license, you must meet the following conditions: you must have gone through 16 driver's license usage cycles without being deducted 12 points, and the type of driver's license you hold must be a small motor vehicle driver's license. Below is an introduction to motor vehicle driver's licenses: 1. Definition: A motor vehicle driver's license is a document applied for in accordance with the law. To obtain a driver's license, you must possess certain driving skills. Without these skills, you cannot drive motor vehicles. A motor vehicle driver's license is a permit to drive vehicles, issued by a specialized authority, and obtaining it legally requires passing an exam. 2. Validity Period: There are three types of validity periods for motor vehicle driver's licenses: the first is a six-year period, the second is a ten-year period, and the third is a long-term period. It is important to note that each time you renew the validity period of your motor vehicle driver's license, the condition is that during the use of the driver's license, you must not have been deducted 12 points in a single instance. Only then can you proceed to the vehicle management office or use the Traffic Management 12123 app to complete the renewal.

Where to Place the ETC on the Car Window?

The installation position of the ETC for small cars is generally in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower middle part. The appropriate installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 and 90 degrees. For vehicles with anti-explosion film or those that have been retrofitted with anti-explosion film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave skylight strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent must also bring their valid ID card. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card under the personal name of someone aged between 18 and 60 is required for deducting highway tolls. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have windshields with a large rearward tilt angle, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it can increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can help avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. In such cases, you will need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to avoid automatic toll payment for the wrong vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour; driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to a failed toll deduction. Additionally, insufficient balance on a debit card linked to ETC can also cause toll deduction failures.

What does 15w-40 mean for engine oil?

W stands for WINTER. The number before W represents the freezing point temperature. The freezing point temperature corresponding to 15W engine oil is -20℃. The number after W represents the kinematic viscosity of the engine oil at 100℃. The higher the number, the higher the viscosity. 40 indicates that the kinematic viscosity standard at 100℃ is between 12.5mm and 16.3mm. The following is a related introduction about engine oil: 1. Engine oil is the lubricating oil used by the engine, composed of base oil and additives. The grade after the oil classification indicates its viscosity specification. The smaller the number before W, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the engine oil, indicating a lower usable ambient temperature and better protection for the engine during cold starts. 2. The number after W is an indicator of the oil's high-temperature resistance. The larger the number, the better the protection performance of the oil at high temperatures. Higher viscosity oil also has relatively higher resistance to the movement system, which not only consumes power and increases fuel consumption but also makes the oil more prone to oxidation, affecting protection during cold starts.

What are the effects of shifting to P gear before the vehicle comes to a complete stop?

Shifting into P gear requires the vehicle to be completely stopped first; otherwise, it may damage the lock control inside the transmission and easily damage the shift switch within the transmission. The P gear is the parking gear, used when the car is parked for a long time, so it must never be shifted into P gear before the car's speed has completely stopped. The correct parking method involves the following specific steps: 1. Press the car's brake pedal. 2. Wait until the car comes to a complete stop on a safe road surface. 3. Shift the car's gear to P. 4. Pull up the car's handbrake. 5. Press the car's one-key start button to turn off the vehicle.

Are Green License Plates Only for Pure Electric Vehicles?

Vehicles with green license plates are not necessarily pure electric vehicles; they can also be plug-in hybrid vehicles. In China, both plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and pure electric vehicles (BEVs) are classified as new energy vehicles, and all new energy vehicles are eligible for green license plates. Eligibility criteria for applying for a new energy vehicle license plate: 1. The applicant must be registered in China and possess the financial capacity and funding capability commensurate with the project investment. 2. The applying enterprise can only produce "pure electric passenger vehicles," which include pure electric and range-extended (series hybrid with external charging capability) passenger vehicles, and must comply with relevant national standards. Advantages of plug-in hybrid vehicles: Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are equipped with both an engine and an electric motor, distinguishing them from conventional hybrid vehicles. Unlike regular hybrids, PHEVs can recharge their power batteries using an external power source. PHEVs offer a longer electric-only driving range, better fuel economy, and lower emissions. Consumers purchasing PHEVs are exempt from purchase tax. The greatest advantage of PHEVs is their superior fuel efficiency compared to pure gasoline vehicles, along with a longer driving range than conventional pure electric vehicles. The biggest advantage of pure electric vehicles is cost savings. Apart from the initial purchase cost, the ongoing expenses are primarily insurance and charging. Since pure electric vehicles lack an engine and transmission, they require minimal maintenance, needing only periodic checks to ensure there are no major issues before continuing operation.
