Identifying the production date of tires can be done by looking at the numbers on the sidewall of the tire. The production date is represented by a four-digit number, which is printed on the sidewall. For example, '1019' indicates that the tire was produced in the 10th week of 2019. When purchasing tires, it's crucial to check the production date. Avoid buying tires that were produced more than three years ago, as tires are made of rubber and can age even when not in use. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage during that period is low. The sidewall of the tire also contains other important information, such as the tire's specifications, recommended tire pressure, load index, and speed rating.

Is there a fine for not wearing seat belts in the back seat on the highway?

If passengers are found not wearing seat belts on the highway, whether in the front or back seats, a fine of 50 yuan will be imposed according to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China"; for drivers who do not use seat belts as required while driving on the highway, a fine of 200 yuan and 2 demerit points will be imposed. More details are as follows: 1. Article 51 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" states that when a motor vehicle is in motion, the driver and passengers must use seat belts as required, and motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear safety helmets as required. 2. Article 89 states that pedestrians, passengers, and non-motor vehicle drivers who violate the road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road usage will be given a warning or fined between 5 and 50 yuan; if a non-motor vehicle driver refuses to accept the fine, their non-motor vehicle may be impounded.

Which Subject to Retake After Losing All 12 Points?

After losing all 12 points, you need to retake Subject 1. If a driver accumulates 12 penalty points during the probationary period, their license will be revoked, and they must undergo the entire learning process and retake the driving test. If the 12-point threshold is exceeded after the probationary period, the driver must attend a 7-day training course and retake Subject 1. Below are the details: 1. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points within a scoring cycle, they must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to receive a 7-day education program on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. 2. After completing the education program, the vehicle management office must administer the Subject 1 test within 20 days.

What are the components of a car air conditioning system?

An automotive air conditioning system is generally composed of a compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, pipes, and other components. Here is relevant information: 1. The car air conditioning system is a device that cools, heats, ventilates, and purifies the air inside the vehicle. It provides a comfortable environment for passengers, reduces driver fatigue, and improves driving safety. The air conditioning system has become one of the indicators to measure whether a car is fully equipped. 2. Compressor: The compressor is the "heart" of the air conditioning refrigeration system. It is a power source that circulates the refrigerant within the system. Its function is to compress the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant, completing the transformation process from gas to liquid.

Can I Take the Driving Test on Weekends?

No, the driving test is conducted at the driving test center, which follows the national statutory holidays for rest. The driving test center is under the jurisdiction of the traffic police, who are governed by the Ministry of Public Security, which in turn is managed by the government. In May 1995, China implemented a six-day workweek system. Although tests cannot be taken on weekends, driving schools remain open for practice sessions. Currently, there are four subjects in the driving test. Below is an introduction to each subject: 1. Subject 1 primarily assesses basic knowledge of road traffic safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, and driving rules. It also includes content on safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving skills in complex conditions, and emergency handling, which were previously part of Subject 1 but are now separated as the safe and civilized driving knowledge test in Subject 3, conducted after the actual road driving test. 2. Subject 2 includes five mandatory test items: reversing into a parking space, starting on a slope and stopping at a designated point, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. 3. Subject 3 covers preparations before starting, starting, passing intersections, obeying traffic signals, driving according to road markings, changing lanes, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, and stopping at designated points. It includes 16 road driving skills: preparation before starting, starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing intersections, pulling over, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, night driving, shifting gears, turning left at intersections, and turning right at intersections. 4. Subject 4 is the safe and civilized driving knowledge test, which focuses on safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving knowledge in adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods such as tire blowouts, and post-accident procedures. This written test is conducted within one day after passing the road test and can be taken an unlimited number of times for free.

Why is the car so noisy?

The reasons for loud car noise are as follows: 1. The engine mount rubber is aged or loose. In fact, the rubber blocks between the engine and the frame, if these engine mount rubbers become aged or loose, the engine will vibrate, and the faster the speed, the louder the vibration sound will be. It is necessary to tighten or replace the engine mount rubber. 2. If the oil viscosity does not match the engine, it is easy to produce carbon deposits, causing the engine noise to increase. 3. Engine misfire, mainly refers to one or more cylinders of the engine not working properly, usually manifested as obvious intermittency in the exhaust gas flow from the car, and severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, and the engine's "puttering" or "thumping, thumping" sound can be clearly heard.

Can China V Vehicles Still Be Licensed?

China VI emission standards were advanced to take effect from July 1, 2019, with the policy prohibiting licensing being implemented regionally in phases. The first batch includes Class A areas in first-tier cities. To confirm whether China V vehicles can still be licensed, it's best to consult the local vehicle management office. Below is relevant information about the China V standard: 1. China V is an emission standard level for motor vehicles in Beijing, formulated and issued by the Beijing Environmental Protection Department, equivalent to the Euro V standard, known as the 'China V standard'. 2. The China IV emission standard is the fifth stage national motor vehicle pollutant emission standard, referred to as the 'China V standard'. The emission control level of the China V standard is equivalent to the fifth stage emission standard currently implemented in Europe. It imposes stricter limits on motor vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Compared to the China IV standard, nitrogen oxide emissions are required to be reduced by 25%, and additional limits are placed on non-methane hydrocarbons and PM emissions to reduce air pollution and combat smog. 3. In 2012, Beijing planned to implement the China V standard. Once fully implemented, it would mean that vehicle models failing to meet this emission standard would not be allowed for sale in Beijing. Previously, to control motor vehicle pollution, Beijing had consistently enforced national standards ahead of schedule. To support the implementation of the China V emission standard, Beijing also planned to further improve fuel quality to align with the China V standard.
