First, ensure the steering wheel of the exam vehicle is functioning normally and the forward visibility is good. Straighten the steering wheel and look directly ahead. Align the top of the steering wheel with your line of sight, then locate the reference points in the exam area to achieve a three-point alignment, which can serve as a substitute for windshield wipers.

What are the standards for reverse parking?

Reverse parking setup requires a total road length of 15.9 meters, with a single side length of 6.8 meters and a width of 5.8 meters. The standard vehicle width is 1.75 meters, plus 60 centimeters, totaling 2.35 meters. Below are the specific details about reverse parking: The scoring criteria for reverse parking are: Before reversing, if both front wheels fail to pass the control line, 100 points will be deducted. Exceeding the allotted time for the task results in a 100-point deduction. Stopping midway deducts 5 points. Not following the prescribed route or sequence deducts 100 points. Failing to park properly deducts 100 points. If the vehicle body crosses the line, 100 points are deducted. Not following the prescribed route or sequence results in failure; vehicle body crossing the line results in failure; failing to park properly results in failure; stopping midway results in failure; exceeding 4 minutes results in failure. Precautions for reverse parking: Generally, start in 1st gear and avoid shifting incorrectly; do not turn the steering wheel the wrong way; slowly release the clutch to prevent stalling; while maintaining control of the speed, turn the steering wheel as quickly as possible. If there’s a conflict between the two, prioritize speed control. In case of an unexpected stop, slowly release the clutch to avoid stalling; when turning the steering wheel back, avoid miscounting the turns; stay relaxed and maintain a casual attitude.

Should I Service My Car When the Time Comes Even If the Mileage Hasn't Been Reached?

You should service your car when the time comes even if the mileage hasn't been reached. Here are some car maintenance precautions: Car engine maintenance: The car engine should be cleaned at the appropriate time. Prolonged use can form a thick layer of carbon deposits on the engine surface, which can cause significant corrosion to the rubber components in the engine. Prevent evaporation of gasoline and water: In summer, temperatures are generally higher. Therefore, gasoline and water evaporate more easily than usual. It is necessary to frequently check the water tank and fuel tank, and promptly add gasoline and water when they are low. Pay attention to interior hygiene: Summer is the season when bacteria multiply the fastest. Therefore, the car interior should be kept clean, especially items that are prone to dirt such as car seat covers, steering wheel covers, and car floor mats. Replace the car wipers: When driving in the rain, make sure the wipers are in good condition. The rubber blades on older wipers will deteriorate. To ensure good driving visibility during rainy weather, car wipers should be replaced every one to two years. Update car mats: Good car cooling mats are an important choice for sun protection during the hot season. Choose mats that are cool and not too slippery to avoid accidents caused by body slipping while driving.

How many days after the vehicle transfer will the original owner's information be removed?

After the vehicle is transferred, the original owner's information before the transfer remains as administrative vehicle management information and cannot be removed. Below is relevant information: No display of related information: Generally, after the vehicle transfer procedures are completed, the original owner will no longer see the vehicle's information in the system on the same day, while the new owner can access the vehicle's details within three days. Original owner's information cannot be removed: Vehicle transfer refers to changing the owner's name, but each vehicle also has its own identity record. The vehicle account is used to register the owner's information, home address, and relevant vehicle parameters. After the transfer, the previous owner's information can only be viewed through authorities such as the police station or procuratorate. The original owner's details remain as administrative vehicle management data and cannot be deleted. Documents required from the original owner for a used car transfer include: registration certificate, vehicle license, and ID card, among others. The buyer must provide an ID card, and if they are from another region, a residence permit or temporary residence certificate is required. Vehicle transfer first requires an evaluation of the vehicle. The evaluation fee is usually 1%-2% of the assessed value, while other costs include license plates, vehicle license fees, etc. The original owner's commercial insurance can be canceled (compulsory insurance cannot be canceled), or it can be transferred to the new owner at the insurance company. Precautions when purchasing a used car: Incomplete documentation. Complete used car documentation includes: vehicle registration certificate (or original purchase invoice), vehicle license, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, road maintenance fee records, and compulsory insurance. Missing documents or unpaid fees can cause endless trouble for the buyer. Therefore, if the seller cannot provide complete documentation, the buyer should be cautious. Tampering with the odometer. Many buyers rely on the odometer to judge a car's condition, and sellers often manipulate it. The odometer not only records usage but also indicates maintenance history. If the buyer follows a tampered odometer for servicing, it could lead to potential safety hazards. New paint covering 'external injuries.' When buying a used car, if the vehicle has been repainted and shows signs of repair on the front, rear, or around the A, B, and C pillars, it may have been involved in a major accident. 'Tuning the heart' to raise the price. Many buyers focus excessively on the engine while neglecting the car's overall condition. Sellers take advantage of this by replacing engine parts to make the vehicle appear younger and justify a higher price.

Should You Watch the Front or Rear Door Handle When Reversing into a Parking Space?

When reversing into a parking space, focus on the rear door handle. While adjusting the direction, keep the car in reverse gear and maintain the steering wheel at its left-turn limit position. Continue reversing while the driver observes the left side mirror and adjusts the direction to guide the rear of the car into the space. Once the car is inside the space, the driver should watch the right side mirror. When the entire right line of the parking space becomes visible, immediately straighten the steering wheel. Then, shift attention to the left side mirror and stop the car as soon as the left door handle aligns horizontally with the bottom line of the parking space. Penalty items and standards for reversing into a parking space: Not following the prescribed route sequence results in a 100-point deduction; the car body crossing the line results in a 100-point deduction; failing to fully enter the space results in a 100-point deduction; not ensuring both front wheels pass the control line before reversing results in a 100-point deduction; exceeding the 210-second time limit results in a 100-point deduction; pausing for more than 2 seconds deducts 5 points each time. Tips for reversing into a parking space: Maintain a steady and slow speed. Be cautious not to release the clutch too quickly or press it too hard. Use correct steering techniques, remember how much to turn the wheel back or whether it's already centered, and turn the wheel swiftly. Ensure accurate judgment of distances when aligning reference points. Pay attention to the timing of steering and the stopping position. After entering the space, avoid turning the wheel too sharply—no more than one full turn. When exiting, observe the left and right mirrors and make slight adjustments if the car isn't aligned to prevent crossing the line. After completing the right-side parking, don’t forget to perform the left-side parking.

What is the process for filing a car insurance claim?

Here is the detailed process for filing a car insurance claim: 1. Reporting the Incident: Promptly call the nationwide unified customer service hotline of your auto insurance provider to report the incident. For example, "Pacific Insurance" uses 95500, "Taiping Insurance" uses 95589, or "Ping An Auto Insurance" allows online reporting through the "Ping An Good Driver" app. Insurance regulations stipulate that policyholders must report the incident within 48 hours of the accident. If the report is filed after 48 hours and the policyholder cannot provide relevant accident evidence, the insurance company may refuse to compensate due to the inability to verify the authenticity of the accident and the extent of the damage. 2. On-Site Investigation: After receiving the report, the insurance company will arrange for an adjuster to assist with on-site handling. The adjuster will inform you of the required claim materials, which must be submitted to the insurance company promptly after the accident is resolved. 3. Damage Assessment: The adjuster will assess the vehicle's damage and issue a damage assessment report. If the policyholder agrees with the amount stated in the report and has no objections, they can sign to initiate the claim process. If the policyholder believes the insurance company's assessment is unreasonable, they should refuse to sign the report. 4. Submission and Review of Claim Materials: After the accident is resolved, submit the required claim materials as per the insurance company's instructions. Upon receiving the materials, the insurance company will complete the approval process as quickly as possible and notify you of the results. The review time depends on the claim amount; larger claims may take longer to process. 5. Receiving the Compensation: Bring your ID card to collect the compensation. If someone else is authorized to collect on your behalf, a written authorization letter and the IDs of both the authorizer and the authorized person are required. Compensation can be paid via online banking. During the claim process, simply provide your bank card details and fill out an authorization form. Once the claim is processed, the compensation will be transferred to the designated bank account promptly.
