Kia is a joint venture car. The advantages of joint venture cars and domestic cars are specifically introduced as follows: Introduction to Domestic Cars: Domestic cars refer to cars designed by Chinese people, manufactured by Chinese people, with independent intellectual property rights, and under Chinese brands. Advantages of Domestic Cars: The biggest advantage of domestic cars is their affordability—they are cheaper in terms of the whole vehicle, parts, and even repair labor costs. Due to the lack of good roads in China, which are not suitable for high-speed motorcycle operation (there are too many cars on highways with high speeds, which is not conducive to safety), to prevent motorcycle users from speeding or operating at high speeds in daily use, the design speed of domestic cars generally does not exceed 120Km/h, thereby ensuring safety.

Do I need to display the 2021 motor vehicle inspection sticker?

In 2021, motor vehicle inspection stickers no longer need to be displayed. Since 2020, vehicles are not required to display any stickers. Starting from June 2020, China has implemented electronic inspection stickers nationwide. After passing the annual inspection, vehicle owners will not be issued paper inspection stickers. Instead, they can directly obtain the electronic inspection sticker through the 12123 traffic management app. 2021 Inspection Sticker New Regulations: The latest policy combines the vehicle annual inspection with the environmental protection inspection sticker. As long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection, there is no need to obtain a separate environmental protection sticker. Penalties for Not Displaying Inspection Stickers: According to Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, driving a motor vehicle without displaying the inspection sticker will result in a fine and 1 penalty point. In serious cases, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the vehicle and notify the party to provide the corresponding license, sticker, or complete the required procedures. Note that for vehicle owners who have obtained the electronic inspection sticker, it has the same effect as the paper sticker. When stopped by traffic police, presenting the electronic inspection sticker is sufficient.

Are the license plates of court-auctioned vehicles transferred together?

Court-auctioned vehicle license plates are not transferred together. The vehicle can be transferred, but the license plate cannot. When transferring the vehicle, the vehicle management office will cancel the original license plate and vehicle registration certificate, and issue new ones to the transferee. Legality of motor vehicle license plate auctions: License plate auctions are illegal and lack legal basis. The "Automobile Industry Development Policy" promulgated by the National Development and Reform Commission also stipulates that no unit may impose any non-operational service fees on automobile consumers except for the fees stipulated by the state. Vehicle license plates are public resources, not government property, and taxpayers are the true owners of the plates. Auctioning public resources should require public consent and cannot exclude the public from decision-making. Article 19 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles" stipulates that for transfer registration, the current owner of the motor vehicle shall fill out an application form, submit the vehicle for inspection, and provide the following documents and certificates: Identity proof of the current owner, proof and certificate of vehicle ownership transfer, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle registration license, for customs-supervised vehicles, the "Release Certificate of Customs-Supervised Vehicles" or customs-approved transfer certificate, and for vehicles exceeding the inspection validity period, the vehicle safety technical inspection certificate and compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate.

What is the Function of a Roll Cage?

Roll cages are most widely used in racing cars and are a mandatory piece of equipment in official racing competitions. They serve two main purposes: protecting the driver's safety and enhancing the car body's strength and resistance to torsion. Protecting the Driver's Safety: Due to their reasonable geometric structure design, proper welding points, and qualified materials, roll cages maximize their sturdiness, ensuring the driver remains unharmed in the event of severe accidents such as rollovers. Enhancing Car Body Strength and Resistance to Torsion: In racing competitions, the car body is often stripped and fully welded to ensure its strength. The roll cage is typically welded to the car body, effectively absorbing impacts from the ground and preventing the frame from deforming. Roll cages are not suitable for family cars. However, many car modification enthusiasts install roll cages in their vehicles to achieve a cooler, more race-car-like appearance. Although they may look similar, the actual performance differs significantly. Professional manufacturing must consider welding points, angles, and materials, whereas most roll cages made by non-professionals fail to meet quality standards. In the event of an accident, these substandard roll cages can easily break, causing additional harm to the occupants.

A higher value means a thicker tire, lower mobility, but increased comfort; r stands for the tire type, radial tire, and 18 indicates the rim diameter of 18 inches. Below is relevant information about tire specifications: 1. Tire specifications: Tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers. The first number indicates the tire's cross-sectional width, and the latter represents the rim diameter in inches. For example, 165/70R14 means a tire with a width of 165mm, an aspect ratio of 70, and a rim diameter of 14 inches for a radial tire. Some tires may include other letters or symbols with special meanings: "X" indicates a high-pressure tire; "C" stands for reinforced; "B" denotes a bias-ply tire; "-" represents a low-pressure tire. M and S are abbreviations for Mud and Snow in English, indicating that the tire is suitable for use on snowy and muddy roads. 2. Tire model: Tire model markings mostly appear as: 215/70R15. The meanings of these numbers are: 215 indicates the tire's cross-sectional width in mm; 70 is the aspect ratio, representing the ratio of the tire's sidewall height to its cross-sectional width, with 70 meaning 70%; R is the abbreviation for Radial, indicating the tire has a radial structure, and 15 is the rim's outer diameter in inches.
