If your motor vehicle driver's license is lost, you can still drive by preparing and submitting the required materials as specified by the local vehicle management office, following the necessary procedures, and paying the processing fee. Motor vehicle drivers can also authorize an agent to handle the renewal or replacement of their driver's license. The classifications of driver's licenses are as follows: 1. Category One: A1 for large buses and A3, B1, B2; A2 for tractors and B1, B2.M; A3 for city buses and C1; B1 for medium-sized buses and C1.M; B2 for large trucks and C1.M. 2. Category Two: C1 for small cars and C2, C3; C2 for small automatic transmission cars; C3 for low-speed trucks and C4; C4 for three-wheeled cars. 3. Category Three: D for regular three-wheeled motorcycles and E; E for regular two-wheeled motorcycles and F; F for light motorcycles; M for wheeled self-propelled machinery; N for trolleybuses; P for trams.

Never drive on the road after losing your driver's license, as driving without carrying the document is illegal. If caught by the police, you could face a fine ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan, and may also receive penalty points or even detention—not to mention being fully liable for any accidents and compensation. I recommend stopping the car immediately, calling the 122 traffic police hotline to report the loss, or going online to the traffic management app to fill in the lost item information. Head to the vehicle management office to apply for a replacement license, bringing along a copy of your ID card and a photo. Paying a small fee of around a few dozen yuan will get it done, and you’ll usually receive the new license the same day or the next. For a temporary solution, check if your local area offers an electronic driver’s license service—register and use the QR code as a substitute. It’s best to keep a photocopy in the glove compartment as a backup and make it a habit to check that you have all necessary documents before driving. Safety first—don’t take risks.

Do all China VI emission vehicles have particulate filters?

Most small-displacement naturally aspirated models can relatively easily meet the China VI emission standards, so they do not come equipped with particulate filters. However, small-displacement turbocharged engines that do not meet the emission standards are equipped with particulate filters. Most Japanese models do not have particulate filters, while most German models do. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned away during vehicle operation. Working principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipeline. After passing through its densely arranged bag-type filter, the carbon soot particles are adsorbed onto the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, turning the adsorbed carbon soot particles into harmless carbon dioxide that is then expelled. To check whether a vehicle has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, you can carefully review the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" warning light indicator. Check the label above the oil filler cap. If the oil cap clearly indicates 0W-20 grade oil, it means the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter. Check whether there is a cylindrical section on the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter. If there is, that is the particulate filter.

What items are included in a 20,000-kilometer car maintenance?

A 20,000-kilometer maintenance is typically the third service for a car and is generally considered a major maintenance. The routine items for the third car maintenance include changing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin air filter, spark plugs, etc. Some brand manufacturers may add additional maintenance items. More detailed descriptions are as follows: 1. Changing the engine oil and oil filter is a mandatory item. Due to the harsh high-temperature and high-pressure environment inside the engine, the shelf life of the engine oil is significantly shortened, and its performance greatly declines. Over time, it fails to protect the engine. The oil filter prevents impurities from mixing into the oil, causing oxidation and producing sludge that can clog the oil passages. The engine oil and oil filter are always replaced simultaneously. 2. Secondly, the air filter also needs to be replaced by this time. If it wasn't replaced during the 10,000-kilometer maintenance, it must be replaced during the 20,000-kilometer maintenance. The air filter's function is to block dust and particles inhaled by the engine during the intake process. If the filter is not cleaned for a long time, it can lead to dust being sucked into the engine, causing abnormal wear on the cylinder walls. 3. Additionally, if the car uses standard material spark plugs, preparations should be made to replace them at the 20,000-kilometer mark. Spark plugs directly affect the engine's acceleration performance and fuel consumption. When you feel a lack of engine power while driving, maintenance should be performed. The service life of spark plugs varies depending on their material.

How to Drive Through Flooded Road Sections?

Drive at low speed when passing through flooded road sections. Here are precautions for navigating flooded areas: 1. Pre-entry inspection: Before entering, someone must investigate the water to determine its depth, road width, flow velocity, damage to the road, and whether water levels are rising or receding. Based on these factors, assess whether it's safe for the vehicle to proceed. If conditions aren't safe, do not risk entering. 2. Protective measures: When passage is confirmed possible, take necessary vehicle protections - close louvers, elevate the battery position, implement waterproofing for electrical systems, and raise the muffler outlet if possible.

In fact, a manual-automatic transmission is a type of automatic transmission, so it is permissible to drive such vehicles. A manual-automatic transmission combines manual and automatic shifting modes, essentially still being an automatic transmission. It simulates the operation of a manual transmission through an electronic control system, allowing the driver to freely choose the appropriate gear and shifting timing, thereby enhancing the driving experience.
