Have the license translated by a translation center recognized by the local traffic management authority (must be stamped). Provide personal identification and a medical examination report issued by a designated medical center by the traffic management authority. Obtain and fill out the application form; after approval by the driver's license management department and passing the subject one test (score of 90 or above), you can exchange it for a Chinese driver's license.

Last month, I just helped an overseas colleague exchange his Chinese driver's license, and the whole process went quite smoothly. He held a U.S. driver's license, and we went to the Beijing Vehicle Management Office. The first step was preparing the materials: original passport, valid visa, foreign driver's license, and an official certified translation of the license into Chinese, which cost about 200 RMB. After submitting the application, the staff checked the exemption list, and since the U.S. is among the countries eligible for direct license exchange, he skipped the test. Next was the medical exam, just a simple vision test and basic health check, completed in 30 minutes for a fee of 50 RMB. Then came the payment and license production, totaling less than 500 RMB, and the license was ready in about a week. It's advisable to book an appointment online in advance to avoid peak hours, and the translation must be done by a certified agency, otherwise it might be rejected. The whole process wasn't as complicated as imagined, the key is to have all the required documents ready.

How to Steer the Wheel When Reversing a Car?

There are two key points for steering the wheel when reversing: 1. The steering direction depends on the turning direction during reversing - turn the wheel right when reversing to the right, and left when reversing to the left. 2. When reversing left, pay attention to the right front of the car; when reversing right, watch the left front. Precautions for reversing include: 1. Before reversing, first check the situation behind the car, estimate the reversing path, and ensure the front won't hit obstacles. Avoid pressing the accelerator and control the speed to keep it slow. 2. During reversing, don't just focus on the rear. While ensuring rear safety, frequently check the side mirrors to monitor the distance between obstacles and the car body, and use the steering wheel to adjust the car's position accordingly.

What tires does the Lexus ES use?

The Lexus ES is equipped with Yokohama's BluEarth tires. The tire size is 215/55R17. The BluEarth tires on the Lexus ES are also known as Yokohama tires. Tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle, primarily supporting the vehicle's entire weight, bearing the car's load, and transmitting forces and moments in other directions. When using the Lexus ES tires in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear from driving, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread wears flat, it will lose its water drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks may seem minor but can pose a risk of tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove small stones lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that can deteriorate rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this can accelerate tire wear. Do not splash water to cool tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, and tire pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to let the tires cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool the tires, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the road.

What to Do When the Steering Wheel is Not Aligned Properly?

Steering wheel alignment issues can be addressed with the following methods: 1. Perform a four-wheel alignment. 2. Visit a maintenance facility to check tire pressure and ensure all tires have consistent pressure. 3. Inspect the suspension and steering system. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, and airplanes. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the steering wheel edge into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a frame, foam, and the main driver's airbag. Solutions for a shaking steering wheel include: 1. Apply grease to the plane bearing or replace it. 2. Add shims to the stabilizer bar bushing. 3. Apply grease inside the dust cover. 4. Remove the steering wheel's airbag clock spring, apply grease, or replace it.
