Place several bags of bamboo charcoal in the car to absorb moisture and eliminate odors. On a sunny day, drive the car into the sun and open all doors and windows to air it out for one or two hours. Turn the car's air conditioning to the maximum heat setting and cycle through all air outlet modes for about 20 minutes.

Is the ETC toll photo on the highway for speed measurement?

ETC toll photos on the highway are not for speed measurement. Instead, they are part of a new gantry-based segmented tolling model, where both ETC and manual payment vehicles are charged based on their actual travel routes. The ETC system utilizes wireless communication and data exchange between the onboard unit in the vehicle and the antenna installed in the toll lane. The ETC system primarily consists of an automatic vehicle identification system, a central management system, and other auxiliary facilities. It employs automatic vehicle identification technology to enable wireless data communication between the vehicle and the toll station, facilitating automatic vehicle recognition and toll data exchange. By leveraging computer networks for toll data processing, the ETC system achieves fully automatic toll collection without the need for vehicles to stop or for toll booths.

What does the driver's license reform mean?

Driver's license reform refers to the formal implementation of measures such as self-study and direct examination for small cars, self-scheduling of examinations, and relaxation of driving license requirements for disabled individuals. For self-learners, actions such as not obtaining a learning driving permit, having an expired learning driving permit, or not having a qualified instructor accompanying them during practice are considered illegal unlicensed driving. In the event of a traffic accident during the learning period, the accompanying instructor is legally responsible. If there is no qualified instructor, the self-learner bears legal responsibility. The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driving license. If the driver does not accumulate 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the motor vehicle driving license, they can renew it for a ten-year validity period. If the driver does not accumulate 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, they can renew it for a long-term valid motor vehicle driving license.
