Check relevant documents to verify if the insurance is still valid. Mainly inspect for any damage to the lights, modifications to the suspension, as well as the sunroof, tires, etc. The inspection includes testing the brakes, headlights, chassis, etc., which takes approximately 5-10 minutes. After brake adjustments, the vehicle needs to be re-inspected. Once adjustments are completed, a stamp is applied.

My car has just completed its fifth year and passed the annual inspection. Vehicles under six years old enjoy the policy of exemption from on-site testing, only requiring the application for an electronic inspection mark via the Traffic Management 12123 APP every two years. The process is quite simple: log in, click on the motor vehicle services module, select the option for exempt vehicles to apply for the mark, confirm that the vehicle has no pending violations and that the compulsory traffic insurance is valid, upload a photo of the insurance policy, submit, and wait for approval. The entire process takes about 10 minutes, completely eliminating the need to visit the vehicle management office and queue up. The electronic mark will be directly displayed on the phone for easy verification by traffic police at any time. However, it's important to note that new cars will need to undergo on-site testing in their sixth year, so be sure to renew the insurance on time and avoid letting it expire.

As a long-time car owner, I recommend that private vehicles under six years old should be exempt from inspection for the first two years, while the third and fifth years require timely application for the annual inspection sticker. The most convenient method is to use the Traffic Management 12123 APP for processing, saving both time and effort. Key points to note: ensure there are no outstanding traffic violations, purchase compulsory traffic insurance and vehicle and vessel tax, and the APP will require uploading the latest electronic insurance policy screenshot. Some friends forget their insurance renewal dates, leading to inspection failures, which can be troublesome. Regularly check SMS reminders, as the system automatically sends inspection notifications one month before the deadline. After obtaining the electronic inspection sticker, it's advisable to save a screenshot in your phone gallery for quick display during traffic police checks, avoiding the need to search the APP on the spot.

I just had my car inspected for its fourth year last month. According to the policy, there was no need to drive to the inspection station; it could all be done directly via mobile phone. Log in to the Traffic Management 12123 APP, find the entry for applying for the inspection exemption label on the homepage, and the system will automatically identify vehicles eligible for exemption. You need to confirm the compulsory traffic insurance information and upload a valid electronic policy. Remember to check if there are any unpaid fines for the vehicle, as any outstanding violations must be handled before applying. Approval is usually granted within one working day, and the electronic certificate is automatically generated and linked to my driver's license. It is recommended to renew the insurance two months in advance to avoid any gaps in coverage that might affect the process.

Where is the foot brake located in an automatic transmission car?

In an automatic transmission car, the foot brake is located on the left side of the driver's footwell. The function of the brake is to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a stop. Its working principle involves converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. An automatic transmission car refers to a vehicle where the driver does not need to manually shift gears; the car automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. The correct method to start an automatic transmission car is: 1. Connect the power source, then start the car; 2. After ignition, press the brake, shift to D gear, release the handbrake, and gently press the accelerator to start; 3. After starting, accelerate appropriately according to road conditions to increase speed.
