Basic process for vehicle transfer: Check files at the vehicle management office → Criminal investigation and industrial and commercial vehicle inspection → Receive the acceptance receipt of the driving license → Receive the original driving license → Transfer of purchase tax → Rename the insurance. Below is an introduction to motor vehicles: 1. Introduction: Motor vehicles, referred to as "motor vehicles." They are wheeled "vehicles" driven or towed by their own power devices, without the need for tracks, and can travel on land. In China, it generally refers to vehicles that travel on roads for passenger use or (and) transporting goods or performing special operations, including cars, trailers, trolleybuses, agricultural transport vehicles, motorcycles, motorized tricycles, and transport tractors (including wheeled tractors with trailers) as well as wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles, but does not include any vehicles running on tracks. 2. Definition: Motor vehicles are driven by their own power devices, have two or more wheels, do not require overhead lines or tracks, and can travel on road or non-road surfaces, mainly used for transporting personnel, goods, or meeting certain special work requirements of "vehicles."

I went through this process last year. You'll need to bring your ID card, vehicle license, motor vehicle registration certificate, and used car transaction invoice. Both the buyer and seller must personally go to the DMV to fill out the transfer application form on site. The staff will first inspect the vehicle and verify the engine number and VIN - remember to wash your car beforehand. After inspection, go to the service hall to pay the fees, which only cost a few dozen yuan. Finally, wait to receive the new vehicle license and registration certificate. The whole process can be completed in half a day if everything goes smoothly. Note that the vehicle must not have any outstanding traffic violations, otherwise the transfer cannot proceed. If the owner cannot come in person, a notarized power of attorney is required. It's best to check the vehicle's insurance status before the transfer to avoid future hassles.

What is the use of car ABS?

Car ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) automatically controls the braking force during vehicle braking to prevent wheel lock-up, keeping the wheels in a state of rolling and sliding to ensure maximum traction between the wheels and the road surface. Here is some relevant information about ABS: 1. Background: The braking effect of a car does not increase with the driver's increased force on the brake pedal. This system ensures that the vehicle's brakes remain in an "anti-lock" state during braking, maintaining maximum braking force. 2. Classification: In ABS, the brake lines that can independently adjust braking pressure are called control channels. ABS systems are classified into four-channel, three-channel, two-channel, and one-channel types.

What to Do If the Vehicle License Is Lost?

After losing the vehicle license, you must return to the vehicle management office at the original registration location to apply for a replacement. Here is some relevant information about the vehicle license: 1. Introduction: The People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle Driving License, commonly referred to as the driving license or 'driver's license,' is a mandatory document issued under the laws of the People's Republic of China for individuals who operate motor vehicles. Anyone driving civil motor vehicles on public roads must apply for a motor vehicle driving license in accordance with the 'People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle Driving License Management Regulations.' The motor vehicle driving license is valid nationwide. It records the holder's ID number, name, gender, date of birth, permanent address, nationality, permitted vehicle type code, initial issuance date, validity period, and management records. It also includes the issuing authority's seal, file number, and the holder's photo. The design of the motor vehicle driving license is standardized by the Ministry of Public Security. 2. Examination Content: The examination subjects include traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving).

The Difference Between 95 and 92 Gasoline

The differences between 95 and 92 gasoline are as follows: 1. Different main components: Analyzing the main components of 95 and 92 gasoline, 92 gasoline consists of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. The reason why 95 gasoline is slightly more expensive is that it has a higher proportion of isooctane. 2. Different functions: Isooctane also has another function, which is anti-knock. This means that the higher the proportion of isooctane, the better the anti-knock performance. Each engine is given a comprehensive evaluation before leaving the factory, and based on the engine's performance and other data characteristics, the anti-knock requirements are specified, which determines the type of gasoline that should be used.

Can Private Cars Drive on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge?

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge allows the following five types of vehicles to pass: cross-border taxis, freight vehicles, cross-border buses, shuttle buses, and cross-border private cars. Dual-plate private cars are permitted, while private cars with only mainland license plates are temporarily not allowed on the bridge. Here is more information about the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge: 1. Access Requirements: Social vehicles with Guangdong-Hong Kong or Hong Kong-Macao license plates can enter the ports of the three regions. 2. Important Notes: The main bridge follows the mainland's right-hand traffic rule. Upon arriving at or departing from the Hong Kong or Macao ports, drivers should adjust their driving direction according to the road signs. Vehicles can switch between left and right-hand traffic. Under non-emergency circumstances, U-turns are not permitted on the main bridge or at the ports.

Why does the dash cam always show low battery?

If the dash cam displays low battery, it may be caused by poor power contact. Here is more information about dash cams: 1. Solutions: Check the wiring, replace the wiring, and inspect for poor contact or disconnection of the power cable. 2. How to conserve built-in battery power: It is recommended to power the dash cam through the cigarette lighter or reading light, rather than relying solely on the built-in battery. Also, ensure that the dash cam automatically shuts down a few seconds after the vehicle is turned off. However, sometimes the cigarette lighter socket may become loose, leading to the depletion of the built-in battery.

Where Can I Check Tire Pressure?

Places where you can measure tire pressure include auto repair shops, 4S stores, and other locations equipped with tire pressure gauges. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressure for standard tires is 2.4-2.5 bar; for reinforced tires, it is 2.8-2.9 bar. The maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. Tire pressure monitoring automatically checks the tire pressure in real-time while driving and alerts the driver in case of leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common methods of tire pressure monitoring: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure data is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure readings for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other tires. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Overview: This system combines the advantages of both direct and indirect monitoring. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to a fully direct system, this hybrid approach reduces costs and overcomes the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect low pressure in multiple tires simultaneously. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as effectively as a fully direct system.
