Open the navigation app, connect to the internet, click on the profile icon in the upper left corner, select Settings, then choose Navigation Settings, and finally tap on 'Avoid Traffic Restrictions for Passenger Vehicles'. Select your city and enter your license plate number to activate the traffic restriction avoidance feature.

Just got my driver's license and already hit with city traffic restrictions – what a headache! I used to check the calendar every time before heading out, but now I simply mount my phone on a holder and use navigation apps like Amap or Baidu Maps. After registering my license plate during setup, they automatically avoid restricted routes. Last time I had business in Pudong, the system rerouted me around the inner ring road's restricted zone. Key reminder: always turn on the 'avoid restrictions' feature before driving off, or it's all for nothing. I'd recommend getting a car wireless charger too – no worries about your phone dying during navigation, plus dodging congested areas can save you half an hour. Actually, EV drivers have it easier since green plates are mostly exempt, but still need to check local policies.

What does it mean when the 12123 document status is locked?

12123 document status being locked may indicate that there are unresolved traffic violations on the driver's license; there is a record of drunk driving that has not been cleared; there is a record of being penalized with a full 12 points that has not been cleared; or the driver's license is in a state of cancellation, revocation, or suspension. It could also mean that the driver has just obtained the license and is temporarily not allowed to transfer the registration, etc. Below is an introduction to the driver's license: 1. A driver's license is a "permit": Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle recklessly could lead to traffic accidents. Drivers without a license are not allowed to drive on the road. However, for those who have mastered safe driving skills, the document that allows them to drive vehicles on the road is the "driver's license." This shows that a driver's license is a "permit." 2. Definition of a driver's license: Internationally, a driver's license is defined as: "A document issued by the competent authority permitting the holder to drive a motor vehicle." In China, a driver's license is defined as: "A legal certificate issued by the administrative department to individuals who have legally learned to drive a motor vehicle, have mastered traffic regulations and driving skills after training, and have passed the examination, permitting them to drive a certain type of motor vehicle."

Can I still take the test if I'm late for the first session of Subject 1?

Subject 2: Also known as the small road test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. For small vehicles (C1 and C2), the test includes five mandatory items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as the S-curve). 2. Subject 3: This includes the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized driving knowledge test, which are part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed. 3. Subject 4: Also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: the road test and the addition of the safe and civilized driving knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which evaluates "driving ethics." The test consists of 50 questions, presented in the form of case studies, images, animations, etc., with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90.

Can temporary license plates be used on highways?

Temporary license plates can be used on highways. As long as they are within the validity period, they allow driving in all areas. However, relevant documents such as invoices, certificates of conformity, and proof of insurance purchase must be carried. Temporary license plates are paper motor vehicle license plates that permit temporary road use of a motor vehicle, also known as temporary driving license plates. They are temporary vehicle driving permits issued by the vehicle management department of the public security authorities for newly purchased vehicles before official registration. The use and regulation of temporary license plates are the same as those of regular license plates. It is not the case that temporary license plates are exempt from penalties. If temporary license plates are not displayed correctly, expired temporary license plates are used, or any traffic law is violated, fines and penalties will still be imposed.

How many ring roads can the Beijing Entry Permit allow access to?

The Beijing Entry Permit allows vehicles to drive within the Sixth Ring Road. The permit should be placed on the lower left side of the vehicle's front windshield. If applying through the Beijing Traffic Police APP, you need to download and print the permit yourself. Each vehicle can apply for a Beijing Entry Permit up to 12 times per year, with each permit valid for a maximum of 7 days. The vehicle must exit the designated area before the permit expires. If a vehicle without a valid Beijing Entry Permit is parked on urban roads above the branch road level within the designated area, the number of days the vehicle can apply for a Beijing Entry Permit in that year will be reduced accordingly based on the number of days parked. Driving within the designated area without a valid Beijing Entry Permit is considered a violation of traffic prohibition signs and will be penalized by the traffic management department of the public security authority in accordance with the law.

What does eco mean on a car and how to turn it off?

Eco on a car refers to the economy mode. Its main principle is to comprehensively judge and analyze factors affecting fuel consumption during vehicle movement, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature.
