I just renewed my driver's license in Shenzhen, and it went smoothly. You'll need the original and copy of your ID card, both the original and duplicate of your expired driver's license, plus two one-inch white background photos. A physical exam is mandatory—just go to a designated hospital like Shenzhen Second People's Hospital for a check-up, which costs only a few dozen yuan. For online processing, use the Traffic Management 12123 App to upload documents, submit an application, pay a 10-yuan fee, and opt for mail delivery to save hassle. For offline processing, visit a vehicle management office like the Luohu Branch to submit materials and collect it directly. It's advisable to get the physical exam done three months in advance to avoid expiration issues—delaying renewal too long might require retaking the test. The whole process takes a few days, but make sure to prepare everything early. By the way, after driving for years, don’t neglect document maintenance or skip checking your car lights—driving with faulty lights can lead to major problems on the road.

Why Should Overtaking Be Done from the Left Side?

Here are the reasons for overtaking from the left side: 1. Traffic laws stipulate that vehicles should keep to the right. Overtaking from the right side can easily lead to collisions. 2. The driver's seat is on the left, providing a wider field of vision on the left side, making overtaking from the left safer. 3. Overtaking from the left aligns with human habits. Here is relevant information: 1. The main danger of overtaking from the right is the blind spot in left-hand drive vehicles. For left-hand drive cars, the blind spot on the driver's right side is larger, severely limiting visibility. Drivers can easily overlook vehicles in this position. If the overtaken vehicle fails to notice the illegal vehicle on the right in time and changes lanes to the right, it can easily collide with the vehicle overtaking from the right. 2. "Overtaking from the right" is explicitly prohibited by traffic regulations. In the event of a traffic accident, traffic police will investigate whether "overtaking from the right" occurred. If confirmed, corresponding penalties will be imposed.

What are the consequences of not changing manual transmission fluid?

Failure to change transmission fluid for an extended period can lead to the following consequences: 1. The quality and performance of the fluid will deteriorate, reducing its cleaning and lubrication functions. 2. It will accelerate the wear of transmission components, making the transmission more prone to malfunctions. Most transmission failures are caused by deteriorated transmission fluid. Compared to the cost of changing transmission fluid, the repair cost for the transmission is significantly higher. Here is some relevant information: 1. Both automatic transmission fluid and manual transmission fluid need to be replaced. Generally, automatic transmission fluid should be changed every two years or after driving approximately 40,000-60,000 kilometers. 2. Most manual transmission fluids require replacement every three years or around 80,000-100,000 kilometers. However, the specific timing depends on the condition of the transmission and the usage of the fluid. If you experience issues such as difficulty shifting gears, jerking, lack of acceleration power, or unusual noises from the transmission, it may indicate a problem with the transmission fluid, and it should be inspected and replaced.

What are the reasons for no response when starting a Polo?

When the Polo shows no response during ignition and there is no sound from the starter, one possible reason is a dead battery, while another could be a damaged starter. Battery depletion can occur not only due to the natural aging of the battery itself but also because of the owner's usage habits. Some owners, in an effort to save fuel, prefer to turn off the engine while using electrical devices such as the audio system or cigarette lighter. However, this practice can lead to rapid battery depletion and shorten the battery's lifespan. When the battery is depleted or nearing the end of its life, symptoms such as difficulty starting the engine and flickering dashboard lights during ignition may appear. Additionally, the capacity and voltage of a battery nearing the end of its life will decrease, making it unable to start the engine after just one or two attempts. Methods to maintain the battery and extend its lifespan include: 1. Turn off all electrical devices before shutting down the engine. 2. Avoid using electrical devices when the engine is not running. 3. After each start, allow the engine to idle for at least half an hour to ensure the battery is sufficiently recharged. 4. When the vehicle is parked or not used for an extended period, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent natural discharge.

What is the car skidding indicator on the dashboard?

The skidding car icon on the dashboard represents the status of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP). This indicator light, typically yellow in color, displays the operational status of the electronic stability system. Normally, this light remains off. When illuminated continuously, it may indicate that the electronic stability system has been turned off, often due to accidental operation by the driver. Below are common dashboard indicator lights: 1. Coolant Temperature Light: This light, primarily yellow, shows the temperature of the coolant in the engine. In models without a temperature gauge, the light color indicates coolant status: blue for too cold, off for normal, and red for overheating. Typically, the light turns on during vehicle self-check when the key is turned and turns off after the engine starts. If it stays on after starting, the coolant temperature exceeds the safe limit. 2. Battery Light: Displaying the battery's status, this light is usually red or yellow. It lights up during the self-check and turns off after the engine starts. Continuous illumination after starting signals a battery issue requiring inspection or replacement. 3. Oil Pressure Light: This red or yellow light indicates engine oil level and pressure. It also activates during self-check and should turn off after starting. Persistent illumination suggests oil level or pressure is below standard. Therefore, before a road trip, it's advisable to carry a bottle of oil for emergencies.

Does adding a spoiler to a sedan require registration?

Registration is required. Installing a spoiler on a car is considered an alteration to the vehicle's appearance, and the owner must register the modification with the vehicle management office in advance. If a spoiler is installed without registration, the traffic management department will detain the vehicle, confiscate the illegal modification, order restoration to the original condition, and impose a fine according to the law. Here is relevant information: 1. After the modification is completed, the vehicle license must be re-photographed and replaced to ensure that the photo on the license matches the modified vehicle, so that the car can pass annual inspections and routine safety checks. The requirement for adding a spoiler is that it should not exceed the overall dimensions of the vehicle after installation. 2. The main function of a car spoiler is to provide sufficient downforce, reducing lift at the rear of the vehicle, ensuring the car remains firmly on the road and maintains stability during driving. 3. If a vehicle owner wishes to change the body color, replace the engine, or alter the body or frame, they are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first make the changes (such as altering the vehicle color, adding body kits, or replacing the engine) and then apply for modification registration at the vehicle management office within 10 days.

How long does it take to repaint a section of a car?

It usually takes about a week. Disassembly and reassembly take one day, and the preparation work, including priming and base coating, depends on the extent of the damage to the car body, which is the most time-consuming part. If the damage is not severe, this process typically takes three days up until the painting stage. Below is some relevant information: 1. Automotive paint is generally baked-on paint. In car factories, after the frame and body shell are welded (and sometimes manually repaired), the next step is painting. Usually, the first step is applying the primer. The bare car body is dipped into a syrup-like paint tank, then removed and baked to dry the primer. It is then sent to a dust-free workshop where the topcoat is applied using electrostatic spray painting. After that, it is baked at around 200 degrees Celsius. For higher-quality finishes, a layer of clear coat is added. This completes the painting process. 2. There are generally several types of topcoats: standard paint, metallic paint, and pearl paint. Standard paint consists of resin, pigments, and additives. Metallic paint includes aluminum flakes, which give it a shiny appearance. Pearl paint incorporates mica particles. Mica is composed of very thin flakes, which create directional reflections and produce a colorful effect. If metallic paint is combined with a clear coat, the car's finish will look very bright and attractive.
