Driver's license photos are embossed with an official seal, which online replacements lack. If caught, this could lead to unnecessary trouble. To change your photo, bring your own photos (three 1-inch color photos with white background), ID card, and a photocopy of your ID to the local vehicle management office. Fill out an application form to reissue a new driver's license. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Penalties: According to relevant regulations, altering, forging, or using altered/forged driver's licenses will result in confiscation of the license, a direct deduction of 12 points, and a fine. If caught driving with an altered/forged license, in addition to confiscation and a fine, the vehicle will be impounded, and the driver will face 15 days of administrative detention. 2. Replacing the Driver's License: Currently, there is no dedicated channel for replacing just the photo on a driver's license. The only way to change the photo is to apply for a replacement license under the pretext of loss or damage, thereby updating the photo on the license.

Is the Subject 1 Test Conducted on Computer or Paper?

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", the test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. The test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the examination. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 1 Test Content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; Road traffic conditions and regulations; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Road traffic accident handling regulations; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; Special knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 Test Notes: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the test—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in the lockers before entering the examination room. In the examination room, seats are assigned at the identity verification point. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Without a signature, the result is invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the test is terminated, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 have only five attempts each. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test.

Will traffic police impound a vehicle in locked status?

If a vehicle is impounded by the court due to economic debt issues, traffic police have no authority to seize it. If a seized vehicle is impounded by traffic police, it indicates the vehicle has violations or is involved in a hit-and-run accident. Once a vehicle is locked due to seizure, it cannot be transferred or sold. If a locked vehicle is driven on the road and discovered by law enforcement, it will be impounded. Additional information: Methods to lift the seizure: To have a vehicle unsealed, the respondent must fulfill the judgment or provide other guarantees. If the judgment has been fully executed, one can apply to the court to lift the seizure. After the court issues an order to lift the seizure, take the order to the vehicle management office to complete the unsealing process.

Is the original owner liable for accidents involving a vehicle that hasn't been transferred?

In the event of a traffic accident involving a second-hand car that hasn't undergone ownership transfer, the responsibility does not lie with the original owner but is directly related to the driver of the vehicle involved in the accident. Below are the relevant legal provisions: Article 50 of the "Tort Liability Law of the People's Republic of China": If the parties have transferred and delivered the motor vehicle through sale or other means but have not completed the ownership transfer registration, and a traffic accident occurs for which the motor vehicle is at fault, the insurance company shall compensate within the compulsory insurance liability limit of the motor vehicle. Any insufficient amount shall be borne by the transferee. Article 51: If a motor vehicle that has been assembled or has reached the scrapping standard is transferred through sale or other means, and a traffic accident causing damage occurs, both the transferor and the transferee shall bear joint liability.
