It is no longer required to display the annual inspection and insurance stickers. Here is additional information: Digitalization timeline: On March 1, 2020, 16 cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing began piloting the digitalization of annual inspection stickers; starting from June 2020, the digitalization of annual inspection stickers was implemented nationwide, achieving full coverage. How to obtain: Vehicle owners can apply for the electronic certificate through the Internet Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Platform or the 'Traffic Management 12123' mobile app. The electronic certificate has the same legal effect as the paper certificate, and you only need to present the electronic annual inspection sticker when checked by traffic police.

I've been driving a private car for nearly twenty years. In the past, I had to go through the hassle of affixing the annual inspection sticker and insurance sticker on the windshield every year, which often got smudged in bad weather and made me worry about fines. Since the major policy change in 2020, most regions have adopted digitalization, no longer mandating the display of paper stickers. Now, as long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection and compulsory traffic insurance is purchased, the information is recorded in the system. By downloading the Traffic Management 12123 app, I can check the status anytime, saving trouble and being more eco-friendly. My car's windshield stays clean and tidy, making daily driving much more relaxed. Police can scan the license plate to access records, so I no longer worry about fines due to missing stickers. However, a reminder to everyone: not displaying stickers doesn’t mean you can slack off. Expired inspections or missing insurance will still be flagged electronically, and getting caught will result in fines and demerit points. This digital management is truly thoughtful—using less paper helps protect the environment.

How to Clean Spark Plug Carbon Deposits?

Steps to clean spark plug carbon deposits: 1. Remove the spark plug from the engine cylinder. Before removal, clean the dust and oil stains around the spark plug to prevent them from entering the cylinder when removing the spark plug. After removal, cover the spark plug installation hole; 2. Use a small knife to scrape off dirt and carbon deposits from the spark plug, then soak it in carburetor cleaner; 3. Soak for about an hour, then rinse with clean water. The spark plug is an important component of the gasoline engine ignition system, and carbon deposits on the spark plug are a common cause of abnormal spark plug operation. Regular cleaning of the spark plug is very important.

Is Wheel Alignment Necessary for Tire Wear?

Tire wear indicates that the wheel alignment data is incorrect, leading to the issue of uneven tire wear. It is recommended to replace the worn tires and then perform a wheel alignment. Below is relevant information: 1. Adjust Tire Pressure: If both shoulder edges of the tire are wearing, the tire pressure may be too low; if the center is wearing, the tire pressure may also be too low. It is important to promptly replenish tire pressure and avoid overloading. 2. Perform Wheel Alignment: If the outer edges of the tires are wearing, it may be due to excessive toe-in or camber angle, or a bent steering knuckle arm. If the inner edges are wearing, it may be due to insufficient toe-in or camber angle, requiring a wheel alignment correction.

What is the Suitable Tire Pressure in Winter?

According to the provisions and requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the tire pressures for different types of tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5bar. In winter, the tire pressure should be based on the standard tire pressure of the car and appropriately increased by about 0.2bar. In summer, when the car is parked outdoors, the pressure can generally be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures. Other factors affecting tire pressure: Empty/half load: Use the lower limit of the standard tire pressure (the tire pressure indicated on the vehicle sticker can be used as a reference for the minimum tire pressure). Full load: When fully loaded, use the upper limit of the standard tire pressure (the maximum tire pressure indicated on the tire can be used as a reference for the theoretical maximum tire pressure). Hot tires: The tire pressure of cold and hot tires is different, so be careful when measuring. The difference is about 0.3bar. Cold tires: After parking for at least three hours or if the tires have not been driven more than 2 kilometers. If you can only measure the tire pressure when the tires are hot, subtract approximately 0.2bar from the measured tire pressure to get the cooled inflation pressure.

Where is the Light Switch in a Sedan?

The light switch in a sedan is typically integrated into the stalk-type switch located on the left side of the steering wheel. Here is a detailed introduction to car lights: 1. Signal Lights: These include turn signals (hazard lights) and brake lights. Proper use of signal lights is crucial for safe driving. 2. Turn Signals: Activated when the vehicle is turning, they flash intermittently to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. 3. Brake Lights: These are highly bright and inform the following vehicle that the car ahead is slowing down or stopping. Improper use can easily lead to rear-end collisions. 4. Night Driving Lights and Width Indicators: Driving lights, commonly known as headlights, should be used appropriately by switching to low beam during oncoming traffic and back to high beam afterward to extend visibility and compensate for reduced visibility during encounters. Changing between high and low beams is also used to signal at intersections and during overtaking. Width indicators, often called parking lights, are used to display the vehicle's width and length at night.

What are the consequences of not displaying the annual inspection sticker?

Failure to display the annual inspection sticker and other required decals will result in a fine and a deduction of one point from the driver's license. Below are the requirements for displaying vehicle annual inspection stickers: 1. Display location: If the annual inspection pass sticker, compulsory traffic insurance sticker, or green environmental protection sticker are not affixed to the designated position, according to Article 13 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations": The motor vehicle inspection pass sticker and insurance sticker must be pasted on the upper right corner of the front windshield of the motor vehicle. 2. Punching holes in the annual inspection sticker: Punching holes in the annual inspection sticker was an early method to identify the vehicle's inspection date. Along the edge of the upper part of the sticker, there are 1 to 12 positions where holes can be punched, representing the 12 months. If the inspection date is in June, a hole will be punched at the number 6.

What to Do When the Motorcycle Keyhole is Locked?

The plastic handle of the original key has a magnetic head with the same shape as the lock cover. Align it with the corresponding concave hole on the lock cover (note the direction), twist it to open the lock cover, exposing the keyhole, and then you can insert the key to start the motorcycle. Related information is as follows: 1. Mechanical Key: Currently, car keys are divided into two types, one without an anti-theft chip and the other with an anti-theft chip. Keys without anti-theft chips are commonly found in some low-end models, which don't even have a remote control, and are now quite rare. Since it's a mechanical key without an anti-theft chip or remote control, duplicating such a key is very convenient and quick, costing only a few dozen yuan. 2. Anti-Theft Key: Keys with anti-theft chips are naturally more advanced. In addition to the mechanical key part being correct, the key also needs to be reprogrammed to match the encoding of the key chip with the engine's anti-theft system for the engine to start. Duplicating this type of key is relatively complex and can be done at large repair shops outside, with prices being relatively cheaper, around a few hundred yuan.
