What is the driving experience after merging D license with C1?

The driving experience is calculated from the date when the first driver's license was obtained. For example, if you first obtained a C1 driver's license and later acquired a D license through an additional driving test, then the driving experience is calculated based on the C1 license. If you first obtained a D license and later added a C1 license, then the driving experience is calculated based on the date of obtaining the D license. In other words, the driving experience is calculated based on the date of whichever type of driver's license was obtained first. C1 Driver's License: The C1 driver's license is one of the codes for motor vehicle driver's licenses. The C1 license allows driving small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles, as well as light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles; small passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 9 or fewer people. Age Requirements: The minimum age requirement for a C1 driver's license is 18 years old, with no upper age limit.

What is the vehicle scrapping disposal plan?

Vehicle scrapping process: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out the "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, or Scrapping" in duplicate and affix the owner's seal. Apply at the registration acceptance counter, where a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age limit. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age limit, the vehicle inspection counter will determine if they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" if applicable. The owner can then choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle by presenting the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the application will be submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration.

What does a red exclamation mark on the car dashboard mean?

Red exclamation mark (specifically a circle with an exclamation mark inside parentheses) indicates a warning for the braking system, mainly due to braking system failure or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system is required to avoid accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark representing braking system failure, other exclamation marks on the car are yellow, indicating general faults, automatic transmission failure, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Fault: An exclamation mark inside a triangle. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission fault or transmission lubricant level below the normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below parentheses. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in the car lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue.
