Owners need to fill out a temporary license plate application form based on their personal information. The staff will provide you with a number plate, and you just need to queue up for the temporary license plate service according to this number plate. Go to the dedicated window for temporary license plate services, and when processing, submit the required documents and the temporary license plate application form to the staff.

I just applied for a provisional driver's license last year and found the process quite straightforward. First, book an exam slot on the local DMV website, then prepare the required documents: bring your ID card, a medical certificate (mainly for vision check), and a few one-inch photos. After that, review traffic regulations and basic road sign knowledge—you can use a mobile app to practice test questions. The exam is a multiple-choice computer test, finished in just thirty minutes. Once passed, you'll receive the provisional license on the spot, usually valid for six months or a year. During this period, you can practice driving but must have an experienced driver supervising beside you. I recommend applying early to avoid delays affecting your full license test. Remember to choose safe routes for practice—no highways—safety first. The total application cost is around a hundred yuan, offering great value for money.

Is the fuel tank cap of a Mercedes-Benz on the left or right side?

On the right side. The fuel tank cap switch of a Mercedes-Benz is generally linked to the car door. When the door is opened, the fuel tank cap automatically unlocks, and pressing the fuel tank cap switch will pop it open. Below are specific details on cleaning the fuel tank: Regular Cleaning: A sealed fuel tank can accumulate a lot of gum, sludge, particulate matter, and foil. Many substances in the fuel require regular cleaning to prevent excessive impurities from causing malfunctions. Effects of Long-Term Neglect: Excessive deposits of impurities and water at the bottom of the fuel tank can clog the ventilation pipes and fuel lines, creating negative pressure inside the tank. This leads to poor fuel supply, sluggish throttle response, and reduced vehicle performance. If the fuel level is too low or insufficient at this time, it is essential to refuel immediately—do not wait until the warning light comes on. If the fuel pump continues to operate under these conditions, it may overheat, affecting its lifespan, and in severe cases, could even cause the pump to burn out.

Can I claim insurance if my car is scratched and the culprit cannot be found?

If the vehicle has purchased the scratch loss insurance, you can file an insurance claim. If not, you cannot claim insurance for scratches. Other insurances do not cover vehicle scratches. In such cases, you can report to the police and let the traffic management department check surveillance footage to resolve the issue. Detailed introduction to vehicle commercial insurance: 1. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Covers losses caused by natural disasters and accidents to the vehicle itself. Recommended for new drivers. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: Covers losses caused by the owner to third-party personal injuries or deaths. This is a must-have for both your own and others' protection. 3. No-Deductible Insurance: An additional insurance that transfers the owner's liability to the insurance company, reducing the owner's loss. It is advisable to purchase this if you have both Vehicle Damage Insurance and Third-Party Liability Insurance. 4.
