Small car driver's licenses are exempt from inspection for six years. However, the exemption refers to being exempt from "on-site inspection." Below is an introduction to the exemption: 1. On-site inspection content: On-site inspection requires testing nine items of the vehicle, including exhaust emissions, side slip, speedometer, axle weight, lights, noise, chassis, and braking. This inspection can be conducted once every six years, but private vehicles still need to undergo regular inspections every two years. Currently, most regions nationwide have implemented electronic labels for vehicle annual inspections, eliminating the need to obtain a paper inspection compliance label. 2. Exemption type: For household small cars within the six-year new car exemption scope, as long as compulsory traffic insurance is purchased and vehicle and vessel tax is paid (neither requires paper receipts, as electronic receipts are now linked online, and new energy vehicles are exempt from vehicle and vessel tax), they can be exempt from the on-site annual inspection at the vehicle inspection station. For household small cars older than six years, after paying compulsory traffic insurance and vehicle and vessel tax, only driving to the vehicle inspection station for an on-site inspection is required. There is no need to obtain an annual inspection label, nor is there a need to stamp the inspection validity period on the driver's license.

I remember a few years ago when my driver's license expired, I thought I didn't need to do anything about it, but in reality, it needs to be renewed every six years. Six years after obtaining the license for the first time, you have to go to the vehicle management office to renew it. Bring your ID card, photos, and a physical condition certificate. You don't need to bring your car for inspection; just a simple physical exam to check your eyesight and limb functions. Don't confuse the annual vehicle inspection with the driver's license renewal. Only vehicle inspections have an exemption policy—under the new regulations for small vehicles, you only need an on-site inspection in the sixth year within the first ten years, with other years exempt. Renewing the driver's license ensures your driving ability is normal, which I think is quite reasonable. Each renewal reminds me to drive safely and reduce accidents.

Having driven for over a decade, I know there's no such thing as a driver's license exemption from inspection. Every six years, you need to visit the vehicle management office to renew your license, which just requires a simple physical check-up without going through complicated vehicle inspection procedures. Many beginners misunderstand, thinking that a driver's license inspection exemption is a policy, but in reality, it's the vehicle inspection rules that have been optimized. From my personal experience, renewing the license is quite convenient, taking only about half an hour, with a focus on checking vision and reaction time, reminding me to maintain good health. As for vehicle inspection exemptions, for example, small passenger vehicles only require on-site inspections in the sixth and tenth years, saving a lot of time and money.

What does traffic violation code 1039a mean?

Violation code 1039a means: Illegally parking or temporarily stopping the vehicle with the driver not present or refusing to leave immediately even if the driver is present, thereby obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. According to Article 56, Paragraph 1, Article 93, Paragraph 2, and Article 90 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," as well as relevant provisions of Article 63 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," the penalty is: 0 demerit points; fine amount: 50 RMB; other penalties: none. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, classified according to the principles of the traffic law. The order from left to right is: the first digit represents the behavior classification code, the second digit represents the demerit point classification code, the third and fourth digits are sequential numbers, and the fifth digit represents the item number under the specific clause. The first digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category of the violation under the Road Traffic Law. The second digit: Demerit point classification code, indicating the classification of demerit points for the traffic violation. The third and fourth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of the violation within the same behavior category. For example: 13035—"1" indicates a motor vehicle violation, the second digit "3" indicates 3 demerit points, and "035" indicates the fifth item under the third clause in the 3-point deduction category. Behavior classification code violation descriptions: Codes starting with "1" indicate motor vehicle violations, e.g., 1003. Codes starting with "2" indicate non-motor vehicle violations, e.g., 2002. Codes starting with "3" indicate pedestrian or passenger violations, e.g., 3030. Codes starting with "4" indicate highway violations, e.g., 4002. Codes starting with "5" indicate other regulations, e.g., 5005. Codes starting with "7" indicate provisions from provincial, autonomous region, or municipal implementation rules, e.g., 7008. Codes starting with "8" indicate local regulations from cities (prefectures, autonomous prefectures, or leagues), e.g., 8606. There are four common ways to check motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic branches in various districts and counties to inquire via touch-screen terminals. Log in to the external service websites of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of each city, find the vehicle violation inquiry section, enter the license plate number and engine number, and click to inquire. Call the inquiry hotline (area code + 114). Use the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to inquire. After opening the Traffic Management 12123 app, click on "More" in the middle business bar, scroll down to find the "Violation Handling" section, select the "Violation Handling" option, choose the vehicle, and then view the violation details in the window. Violations involving illegal parking or temporary stopping with the driver not present or refusing to leave immediately, thereby obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians, can be handled through this Traffic Management app. After logging in, enter the violation handling process, complete the handling, and make the payment.

In which situations can you make a U-turn without waiting for the left-turn signal?

The situations where you can make a U-turn without waiting for the left-turn signal are: 1. At an intersection where there is a sign indicating that U-turns are not controlled by traffic lights, you can make a U-turn directly without waiting for the signal; 2. At an intersection where there is a dashed line for U-turns before the stop line, and the dashed line does not extend beyond the stop line, you can make a U-turn directly without being controlled by traffic lights; 3. At an intersection where there is a dedicated U-turn lane before the stop line, such as in a green belt or behind a barrier, U-turns are not controlled by traffic lights. When making a U-turn at an intersection where it is permitted, whether or not you need to wait for the traffic signal, you must not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians traveling normally on the road. The vehicle making the U-turn does not have the right of way.

Is the Aventador the Lamborghini 'Big Bull'?

The Aventador is indeed the 'Big Bull,' as Aventador is its official name. The Aventador is Lamborghini's flagship supercar. As the successor to the Murcielago, it made its official debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. The Aventador's 6.5-liter V12 naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum power output of 544 kW and a peak torque of 690 Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 8,400 rpm and its maximum torque at 5,500 rpm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and utilizes aluminum alloy cylinder heads and blocks. The use of aluminum alloy helps reduce the engine's weight, thereby improving the car's fuel efficiency. The Aventador employs a horizontal suspension with lateral push rods at the front and rear. The horizontal push-rod suspension is typically found in F1 race cars. This suspension design significantly lowers the car's center of gravity, enhancing its handling capabilities. Additionally, the horizontal suspension with lateral push rods helps minimize body roll during cornering.

Does the 2021 Tiguan L380 have a particulate filter?

21 Tiguan L380 does not have a particulate filter. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. Function of the particulate filter: The particulate filter can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. To check whether a vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, you can carefully check the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" warning light indicator. Check the label above the oil filler cap. If the oil cap clearly indicates 0W-20 grade oil, it means the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter. Check whether there is a cylindrical section behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe. If there is, that is the particulate filter.
