Methods to determine the age of a vehicle are as follows: 1. Check the vehicle's nameplate. The nameplate on the car contains the manufacturing date, which can be used to determine the age; 2. Check the production dates of car parts. Many parts on the car also have production dates, but all parts' production dates should be earlier than the car's manufacturing date. Therefore, the vehicle's manufacturing date must be later than the production dates of its parts. If a part's production date is later than the car's manufacturing date, that part has been replaced later; 3. Check the registration date of the car from the vehicle registration certificate and the driving license.

Can a car that is not your own be used as collateral?

Yes, as long as the vehicle owner agrees, this type of loan is called an auto title loan. Here are the relevant details: Auto Title Loan: An auto title loan is a loan obtained from financial institutions or auto consumer loan companies using the borrower's or a third party's car or purchased vehicle as collateral. Used Car Loan: Used cars can be used as collateral for loans, but the conditions are very strict. Although many banks do not refuse used car title loans, there are numerous requirements. You must provide proof of intent to sell the vehicle, a vehicle appraisal report, the seller's vehicle ownership certificate, the vehicle's annual inspection certificate, and the loan amount must not exceed 50% of the vehicle's total value. Some banks even require that the application for a used car title loan must be secured with real estate; otherwise, even if all five conditions are met, the loan will not be approved.

Does the new car need to be driven for license plate registration?

Yes, before going to the vehicle management office for license plate registration, the car will have a temporary license plate. When picking up the car at the 4S store, a temporary license plate will be issued for the vehicle. Some of these temporary license plates are only valid within the province, while others can be used nationwide. Generally speaking, nationwide use is relatively rare now, and most are only valid within the province. Below is relevant information: Exempted vehicle types: Exempted vehicle types do not include off-road vehicles, small and micro ordinary passenger cars, or heavy and medium-duty trucks; Exemption does not mean direct license plate registration: The exemption for new cars does not mean that you can go directly to register the license plate. Currently, it only exempts some items from the online inspection. Before registering the license plate, the new car must still go to the inspection site for appearance inspection, photography, and number tracing. In addition, exhaust emission tests required for environmental purposes must also be conducted.

What Lights Should Vehicles Use on Rainy Days?

What lights vehicles should use on rainy days depends on different situations: 1. Use width indicator lights when the rain is light; 2. Turn on headlights or front fog lights when the rain is heavy; 3. Activate rear fog lights during heavy rainstorms. Safe driving methods on rainy days include: 1. Turn on the windshield wipers promptly; 2. If there is frost on the front windshield, turn on the air conditioning and direct the cold air toward the front windshield; 3. The driver should hold the steering wheel with both hands in a balanced manner, maintain straight and low-speed driving, and gently apply the brakes when turning to prevent tire lock-up and vehicle skidding; 4. Reduce the vehicle's speed, pay attention to the distance from vehicles in front and behind, and be mentally prepared to take emergency measures in advance.

Why is it unnecessary to observe traffic lights when turning right?

When driving, turning right does not require observing traffic lights, primarily due to the principle of right-hand traffic in China. Here is the relevant information: Reasons: At intersections without a dedicated right-turn arrow traffic light, vehicles turning right can do so as long as they do not impede the normal passage of other vehicles. Right-turning vehicles maintaining normal traffic flow have minimal impact on other lanes, thereby improving road traffic efficiency. Relevant regulations: Article 44 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' states that on roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction, the left lane is designated as the fast lane, and the right lane as the slow lane. Motor vehicles driving in the fast lane should travel at the speed specified for the fast lane. Those not reaching the specified speed should drive in the slow lane.

Where is the problem when the engine shuts down due to parking oil pressure?

It is generally caused by insufficient engine oil or a malfunctioning oil pressure regulator. The following is an introduction to the oil pressure regulator: Introduction to the oil pressure regulator: The oil pressure regulator is essentially an overflow valve controlled by a diaphragm. The diaphragm divides the regulator into an upper spring chamber and a lower fuel chamber. The diaphragm controls the opening of the overflow valve to maintain pressure balance between the upper and lower chambers. Working principle: When the fuel chamber pressure exceeds the combined force of the spring pressure and vacuum gas pressure, the diaphragm arches upward, opening the regulator valve. Some fuel flows back to the fuel tank through the return port via the ball valve, reducing the fuel pressure. When the pressure drops to the set control pressure of the regulator, the ball valve closes to maintain a certain pressure in the oil circuit from the pump check valve to the pressure regulator.
