Can the driver's license and vehicle license be kept together?

Driver's license and vehicle license can be kept together. In China, the definition of a driver's license is: A motor vehicle driver's license refers to a legal document issued to individuals who are legally permitted to learn to drive motor vehicles. After studying and mastering traffic regulations and driving skills, and passing the administrative department's assessment, they are granted the legal certificate to drive certain types of motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle recklessly may lead to traffic accidents. Ordinary people cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who already possess safe driving skills, the certificate that allows them to drive vehicles on the road is the 'driver's license.' This indicates that a driver's license is a kind of 'permit.' The permission to drive a vehicle is realized by issuing a driver's license. This shows that obtaining a driver's license is a formal procedure and must be issued by a specialized authority. Internationally, a driver's license is defined as 'a certificate issued by the competent authority that permits the holder to drive a vehicle for the purpose of driving a car.'

What is the speed rating code for car tires?

Car tire speed rating codes can be divided into 24 different codes from A to Z (excluding I and O grades), with grade A further subdivided into 8 different levels from A1 to A8. Each tire sidewall is marked with this tire's speed symbol (also known as the speed rating), and the corresponding speed symbol indicates the maximum speed of the tire. Here is additional information: 1. Load index: A number corresponding to the maximum load capacity (in kilograms), indicating the maximum weight the tire can bear under normal inflation conditions. 2. Tire width: Refers to the width of the tire (the distance between the two sidewalls, in millimeters). The width of this tire is 185 millimeters. 3. Aspect ratio: Refers to the ratio of the tire's width to its height. "65" indicates that the height of the tire is equal to 65% of the tire's width. 4. Rim diameter: Represents the diameter of the rim used for this tire (in inches). 5. Tread pattern code: Represents the name of the tire's tread pattern.

What is the purpose of road calibration function?

Road calibration function mainly serves to inform and alert people. Below is a relevant introduction about the road calibration function: Location setting: Road traffic signs are usually set on the right side of the road, where drivers can easily see them. For lanes such as overtaking lanes, driving lanes, and emergency parking belts, road traffic signs are typically set above the road through gantries. Near the end of highways, some prohibition or warning signs are also placed within the central divider. The setting of road traffic signs for interchanges, service areas, etc., follows the principle that approaching traffic will not obstruct the driver's line of sight at intersections or points of divergence and convergence. Precautions: The placement of road traffic signs must ensure that drivers have sufficient reaction time to make necessary judgments for safe operation. Roadside traffic signs must maintain a clear distance of 250mm from the outer edge of the shoulder, and the lower edge of the signboard must have a clearance of 2000mm from the outer edge of the emergency parking belt. When setting signs above the road, ensure that the lower edge of the signboard maintains a clearance of more than 5000mm from the road surface. Road traffic signboards are generally set at a right angle to the road, with a slight inward tilt, and the front of the board faces the direction of travel for easy observation by drivers.

How to Use Car Lights Correctly?

When heavy rain pours down, drivers' visibility can easily become blurred, making it difficult to judge the surrounding conditions. At this point, you can consider turning on the fog lights to alert other drivers to your presence. In foggy weather, it goes without saying that fog lights must be turned on—both to avoid hitting others and to prevent being hit yourself. However, it's important to note that because fog lights are brighter than regular headlights and have strong scattering effects, turning them on unnecessarily can interfere with other drivers' visibility, especially for oncoming traffic. In severe cases, this could lead to accidents. After turning on the parking lights, you can then activate the fog lights. Among them, the front fog lights can be turned on independently, while the rear fog lights can only be turned on simultaneously with the front fog lights and cannot be operated alone. There are two main styles of fog light switches: button-type and knob-type. Different car manufacturers have their own preferred methods for activating fog lights. This type of fog light switch is commonly found in American brands like General Motors and Ford. Its characteristic is ease of operation—simply press the button to achieve the desired function. This type of fog light switch itself comes in two variants: one is integrated into the left stalk (turn signal stalk), commonly seen in domestic and Japanese brand models; the other is a standalone knob located on the left side of the dashboard, with Volkswagen models being a typical example of this style. Turn signals are warning lights used by motor vehicles to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians when turning. When activated, the lights flash repeatedly to draw attention and prevent accidents. Drivers must develop the habit of using turn signals when on the road and avoid driving blindly. This indicator light displays the position of the vehicle's turn signals. It is usually off. When the driver activates the turn signal, the corresponding indicator light will illuminate simultaneously and turn off automatically once the turn signal is deactivated. The turn signal switch is typically installed on the left side of the steering wheel, and its operation can be summarized as "up for right, down for left." Pushing the switch upward (clockwise) signals a right turn, while pushing it downward (counterclockwise) signals a left turn. However, with advancements in automotive technology, many cars now feature a "one-touch three-flash" quick-turn function on the hazard light switch. By lightly tapping the stalk, the turn signal will flash three times and then turn off automatically. This eliminates the hassle of manually turning off the turn signal when changing lanes or overtaking. Unlike conventional turn signal switches, Ferrari's turn signal switch is uniquely mounted on the steering wheel. Turn Signal Usage Notes: 1. Turn off hazard lights before using turn signals (if no turn signal priority function exists). Many models lack a turn signal priority function, so if you need to use the turn signal while the hazard lights are on, you should first turn off the hazard lights before activating the turn signal. 2. Quickly identify if the turn signal is malfunctioning. Turn signals come with either contact-type or contactless flashers. For contact-type turn signals, if there is a fault, the corresponding indicator on the dashboard will stop flashing. For contactless turn signals, the dashboard indicator will flash at a faster frequency if a fault occurs.
