Currently, the annual inspection sticker must be displayed as there are no relevant policies indicating otherwise. Please note the following points: 1. Penalty for not displaying the sticker: According to Article 13 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," the vehicle inspection compliance sticker and insurance sticker should be affixed to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield. Failing to display these stickers as required is a violation of the law. If the annual inspection sticker is not displayed, the penalty is a 1-point deduction on the driver's license and a fine. 2. Digitalization of inspection stickers: In 2020, electronic inspection labels were widely promoted to replace the paper version of the annual inspection compliance sticker. Electronic inspection labels hold the same legal validity as the paper version. In provinces and cities where digital inspection stickers have been implemented, displaying the physical inspection compliance sticker is no longer mandatory.

Does 'Driving License Review Completed' Mean It's Approved?

Driving License Review Completed means the review has been approved. Below are the specific details regarding driving license review: 1. Large and Medium-sized Vehicles: These vehicles require driving licenses of levels A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2, primarily for driving buses or trucks. China imposes relatively strict requirements for such licenses. If any demerit points are incurred during the scoring cycle, an annual review of the license is required the following year. For frequent violations or accumulating up to 12 demerit points, the license may face revocation. 2. Small and Medium-sized Vehicles: These vehicles mostly require driving licenses of levels C, D, E, and F. As is widely known, the validity period for such licenses is typically six years, and they do not require annual reviews. They only need to be renewed within three months before the expiration date. Simply bring your ID card, driving license, and photos to the local vehicle management office for processing. 3. Being in a Different Location: In this case, the driving license requires an annual review.

What does it mean when the tire pressure monitoring light is on in the new Wuling Hongguang S?

The tire pressure monitoring light being on in the new Wuling Hongguang S indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure is generally caused by the following three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: The system usually alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system is not reset in time, it will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to turn on. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which is used to monitor tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

How Large an Inverter Can a Sedan Power?

Inverters generally have a conversion efficiency of around 80%, while the fuse for a typical car cigarette lighter is only 10A, and some are 20A. If connected to the car cigarette lighter, a sedan can power an inverter of up to about 150W. For inverters with higher power, they need to be connected to the car battery. Specific details are as follows: 1. Battery Current Capacity: If connected to the car battery, a sedan can power an inverter of up to about 3000W, but the exact capacity depends on the car battery's current. Most car batteries do not exceed 100A, meaning they can only power an inverter of around 1000W. Using an excessively large inverter may damage the battery and shorten its lifespan. 2. Inverter Usage: Inverters must be used strictly according to the user manual. Since the output voltage of an inverter is 220V AC, extra caution is required when using it in the confined space of a car. Additionally, the operating environment temperature of the inverter should not exceed 40°C, so avoid placing the inverter in direct sunlight or near the heater outlet.

How Long After Missing an Inspection Will a Driver's License Be Revoked?

A driver's license will be revoked if the inspection is missed for more than one year. After revocation, it can be reinstated within two years by retaking the traffic rules test. If the driver fails to renew the license within one year after its expiration, the license will also be revoked. However, even if revoked, the license holder can apply for reinstatement. Penalties for missing an inspection: If a vehicle fails to undergo the required periodic safety and technical inspection, the driver or vehicle owner will be fined for each missed inspection. For other motor vehicles, the driver or owner will also be fined for each missed inspection. If an overdue vehicle is discovered during a traffic police inspection on the road, penalties will be imposed. If the vehicle remains uninspected for an extended period, it will be considered as having missed the next inspection cycle, leading to penalties as per regulations. Of course, this applies only if the vehicle is caught while driving. If the vehicle is brought for inspection at the DMV normally, even if it missed a previous inspection, it can still pass the next annual inspection without fines.

What is the problem when the steering wheel makes noise at full lock?

Steering wheel making noise at full lock is due to: 1. The plane bearing under the steering wheel is damaged; 2. The ball joint of the stabilizer link is loose. During car steering, the front suspension system is subjected to constantly changing forces, with internal stress accumulation. When steering reaches a certain degree, increased stress causes instantaneous displacement at the loose ball joint, resulting in vibration and abnormal noise. The plane bearing, also known as the pressure bearing, is located at the top of the front shock absorber where it connects to the vehicle body. Its working principle is that when the car turns, the shock absorber rotates with the wheel, and the plane bearing is required to complete this rotation between the shock absorber and the vehicle body. If such abnormal noise occurs, it should be promptly inspected and repaired, otherwise it may cause the steering wheel to become unable to turn.
