To safely overtake while driving at night, it is necessary to increase the vehicle's speed and pass on the left side of the vehicle being overtaken. During the overtaking process, the turn signal should be activated, and it is important to maintain a following distance of no more than 20 meters. Additionally, flashing the headlights between high and low beams can be used to signal intention. Failure to use the turn signal when changing lanes may result in a penalty of three demerit points. Not using the turn signal during lane changes can create safety hazards for vehicles behind, as the lack of signal increases the risk of rear-end collisions. Continuous lane changes can be determined by observing the vehicle's turn signals, for example, a vehicle will typically activate the turn signal in advance before changing lanes. Drivers can adjust their speed based on the speed limits indicated by navigation for each road section. Vehicles should try to maintain an appropriate speed, as driving too slowly may lead to other vehicles following too closely, which also poses safety risks.

Can a lost vehicle license be processed online?

Lost vehicle licenses cannot be processed online. If a motor vehicle license is lost or destroyed, the vehicle owner must fill out an application form for replacement or renewal of the motor vehicle license. The driver should apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office that issued the original license or another office outside the issuing jurisdiction within 90 days before the expiration of the current license, but cross-region processing is not supported. The vehicle management office will, within two days of receiving the application, verify the vehicle identification number (VIN), review submitted documents and proofs, and issue a new vehicle registration certificate, license plate, vehicle license, and inspection sticker. After the one-year probationary period for the driver's license, there is no need to visit the issuing vehicle management office for renewal, as the system will automatically convert the probationary license to a regular one. However, any traffic violations must be addressed and resolved.

Is it necessary to repair bumper scratches?

Bumper scratches affect the appearance of the car body, so it is necessary to repair them. If you feel that they do not affect the appearance, you can choose not to repair them—this depends on the owner's preference. The bumper is a plastic component, and after scratches, the paint surface will be damaged. Once the paint is damaged, the black plastic underneath will be exposed, which significantly impacts the car's aesthetics. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop to repaint the entire bumper. Methods to handle bumper scratches: 1. Toothpaste filling: Toothpaste is not a method to repair car paint but rather a temporary remedy to prevent further erosion when scratches are severe; 2. Polishing and waxing: For lighter scratches, polishing and waxing can make the marks much less noticeable; 3. Scratch repair pen: For slightly larger scratches, a touch-up pen can be used as an emergency solution.
