When registering for the driver's license test in Guangzhou, you need to prepare your ID card, medical examination form, and photos. Non-local residents also need to provide a residence permit. Here is the relevant information about applying for a driver's license: 1. Other requirements: (1) You must be at least 18 years old to apply for a driver's license, with the maximum age range being 18-70 years old, and your height must be above 150cm (above 155cm for large trucks). (2) No red-green color blindness. (3) Naked eye or corrected vision must reach 4.9 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. (4) Hearing must be such that with hearing aids, you can distinguish the sound source from a tuning fork placed 50cm away from each ear. (5) Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other intact fingers. 2. Notes: Medical examination fee: The cost is generally not high, and you can go for the examination yourself. Some driving schools can also pay the fee on your behalf; Photo fee: You need to provide a one-inch white-background bareheaded photo when registering, which can be taken at a designated place or elsewhere; Driving test fee: The cost varies depending on the driving school. Some schools collect the fee during registration, while others require you to pay it yourself.

I got my driver's license in Guangzhou last year, and there is indeed a distinction between local and non-local household registration. For those with a Guangzhou local household registration, you just need to bring your original ID card and the medical examination form when signing up. But for non-locals like me, a residence permit is mandatory for registration. I specifically went to the local community office to apply for residence registration and only received the physical card six months later. The vehicle management office will swipe the residence permit on-site to input the information into the system. It's even more complicated for compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, as they need to prepare additional documents like their travel permits and proof of residence. A reminder to everyone: it's best to call the driving school to confirm the latest policies before signing up, as some suburban branches might have different requirements.

What is the speed limit on urban roads?

Urban roads generally have a speed limit of 40 km/h. The following are the hazards of speeding: Weakened perception of changes inside and outside the vehicle: Excessive speed makes it difficult to obtain sufficient road information, increasing the risk of traffic accidents. For example, when a car travels at 50 km/h, it moves 1.39 meters in 0.1 second, and objects outside the window pass by in a flash. However, it takes 0.4 second for a person to sense a target within their field of vision and an average of 1 second to clearly see an object. Driver's spatial perception weakens: The focus point moves forward, the field of vision narrows, and clarity deteriorates, making driving dangerous. The faster the speed, the farther the focus point moves. At speeds above 50 km/h, the focus point is often 305-601 meters away. It becomes difficult to recognize small and slowly changing objects, and by the time they are noticed, it may be too late to react.

How many minutes must be taken for rest to avoid fatigued driving?

If a driver operates a vehicle continuously for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or takes a break of less than 20 minutes, electronic surveillance will identify these fatigued drivers. Traffic police departments will legally require the driver to stop and rest, issuing a warning. In severe cases, penalty points may also be deducted according to the law. Precautions for driving on highways are as follows: 1. Safety check: Check for potential hazards before getting in the car. Before driving on the highway, inspect the vehicle for any safety risks. 2. Wear seat belts: Always wear seat belts on the highway, including the driver, front passenger, and rear seats. Avoid placing unsecured items in the car. 3. Stay in one lane: Avoid frequent lane changes on the highway, switching between the passing lane and the travel lane, and never make sudden unannounced decelerations or stops in the travel lane. While driving, do not drive side by side with other vehicles, avoid prolonged driving in the passing lane, and never attempt to overtake from the emergency lane. Additionally, prepare for lane changes in advance when exiting the highway to avoid missing the exit.

What does MT mean?

In automobiles, MT stands for Manual Transmission, also known as manual gearbox. It involves manually shifting the gear lever to change the gear meshing positions inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve the purpose of shifting. A manual transmission is a type of gearbox used to modify the speed and torque transmitted from the engine to the driving wheels. Under various driving conditions such as starting from a standstill, climbing hills, turning corners, and accelerating, it enables the vehicle to achieve different levels of traction and speed while keeping the engine operating within a more favorable range. Functions of a manual transmission: Changing the gear ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variations at the driving wheels, adapting to frequently changing driving conditions. While maintaining the engine's rotational direction, reverse gear is used to enable the vehicle to move backward. With the engine still running, neutral gear can be used to interrupt power transmission, which is beneficial for engine startup, warm-up, idling, and facilitates gear shifting, coasting, or temporary parking. The transmission can also divert engine power to drive other mechanisms, such as the winch on certain vehicles or the oil pump on dump trucks.

Which is more important, front or rear tires for a car?

Whether front or rear tires are more important for a car mainly depends on whether the car is front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive means the front tires are more important, while rear-wheel drive means the rear tires are more important. Rear-wheel drive vehicles: For rear-wheel drive vehicles, the rear tires are more important when replacing tires. For rear-wheel drive cars, new tires should be installed at the rear because the rear tires of such vehicles are prone to slipping, and the power is also concentrated on the rear wheels. When the rear tires are severely worn, their grip becomes very weak, making the car more likely to roll over during driving. On wet or slippery roads or during sharp turns, accidents are more likely to occur. Front-wheel drive vehicles: For front-wheel drive cars, new tires should be installed at the front because the front tires of such vehicles require higher grip. During sudden braking, the car's center of gravity shifts forward. If the front tires lack sufficient grip, accidents are more likely to happen. Therefore, new tires for front-wheel drive cars should be replaced at the front.

What lights to use when passing under an arch bridge at night?

When passing under an arch bridge at night, alternately use high and low beams no less than 2 times. Below is a detailed introduction to light usage methods: 1. Night driving: When turning at intersections at night, use low beams. When driving on low-visibility roads at night, turn on high beams. When passing sharp curves at night, alternately use high and low beams no less than 2 times. When passing slopes at night, alternately use high and low beams no less than 2 times. When passing under arch bridges at night, alternately use high and low beams no less than 2 times. When passing crosswalks at night, alternately use high and low beams no less than 2 times. When passing intersections without traffic lights at night, alternately use high and low beams no less than 2 times. When overtaking at night, first turn on the left turn signal, then alternately use high and low beams no less than 2 times, then turn on the right turn signal. When meeting other vehicles at night, turn on low beams. 2. Driving in fog: Turn on width markers, front/rear fog lights, and hazard lights. 3. In case of malfunction: Turn off headlight assembly and turn on width markers and hazard lights.

Is Battery Drain Covered Under Warranty?

Whether battery drain is covered under warranty requires a comprehensive analysis based on the specific purchase time of the battery. Daily maintenance of the battery is essential. Below are some key points regarding battery maintenance: Proper Driving Habits: If the vehicle fails to start, wait for about 5 seconds before attempting to restart. Avoid repeated starting attempts, as continuous cranking can lead to excessive battery discharge, damaging its lifespan. Car Battery Maintenance: When the battery voltage is low and the lights appear dim or the engine struggles to start, it is advisable to charge the battery externally. Regularly check the battery connections to ensure they are secure. All live terminals must maintain good contact to prevent sparking, which could cause the battery to explode. Any oxides or sulfates on the battery terminals should be thoroughly cleaned off.
