In 2021, vehicles no longer require any physical inspection stickers. Starting from June 2020, China has implemented electronic vehicle inspection labels nationwide. When vehicle owners complete their annual inspections now, they will not receive paper inspection stickers. Instead, they can directly obtain electronic inspection labels through the 12123 traffic management app. For vehicle owners who have obtained electronic inspection labels, these digital labels hold the same validity as paper stickers. During traffic police inspections, presenting the electronic inspection label is sufficient. For vehicles under 6 years old, owners need to apply for an inspection label every two years at the vehicle management office, though online application is also available. For vehicles older than 6 years but under 10 years, the inspection frequency has been relaxed from annual to biennial inspections. This means only two on-site inspections are required within 10 years - at the 6th and 8th years - effective from November 20, 2020. Vehicles over 10 years old continue with annual inspections. As for vehicles older than 15 years, semi-annual inspections are required to ensure they meet roadworthiness standards.

What kind of marking is the yellow dashed line?

Road center yellow dashed lines are used to separate opposing traffic flows. If there is a yellow solid and dashed line in the center of the road, vehicles are prohibited from crossing the line or making left turns on the solid side, while vehicles are allowed to cross the line for overtaking or making left turns on the dashed side. Here is more information about yellow lines: 1. Single solid yellow line: Strictly prohibited from crossing, such as overtaking, turning, or making U-turns. Under normal driving conditions, vehicles should not cross this line. Driving over solid lines is not allowed, and making U-turns is considered a violation of prohibited markings, resulting in 3 penalty points and a fine of 200 RMB. 2. Single yellow dashed line: Overtaking or making U-turns is permitted when safe to do so. Single yellow lines serve as center dividing lines to separate opposing traffic flows. Yellow dashed lines allow temporary crossing for lane changes when driving; solid lines should be treated as a wall, strictly prohibiting any crossing. Roads with four or more lanes in both directions are marked with double yellow lines, while those with fewer lanes use single yellow lines.

What to Do If the Original LED Headlights Are Not Bright Enough?

Here are the solutions for insufficient brightness of the original LED headlights: 1. Solution A: Remove the halogen bulb and socket, and directly install vehicle-specific LED bulbs. This method can address the issue of dim low beams, but the improvement in high beam performance is limited. This is mainly because LED lights have shorter wavelengths and higher color temperatures, causing the focal point to deviate from the original halogen bulbs. Directly replacing with LED bulbs results in scattered high beams and shorter illumination distance. 2. Solution B: On the basis of Solution A, add a lens to the high beam position. This approach can resolve the scattering issues for both low and high beams, yielding better results. However, it requires disassembling the headlight to install the lens. 3. Solution C: Due to the high color temperature of LEDs, consider replacing the halogen bulbs with xenon headlights. Generally, installing xenon headlights involves disassembling the headlight, cutting off the original halogen socket, and installing a lens and new socket. Since the color temperature of xenon headlights is adjustable, they can adapt to various road conditions and provide high brightness.

How to activate one-touch window lift for Toyota CHR?

Start the vehicle and use the window control buttons on the door armrest to perform the activation operation. The system will record the settings to successfully activate the function. More related information is as follows: 1. One-touch window control: Refers to a system where car windows can be fully opened or closed with a single press of a button. Vehicles equipped with this feature have two-stage window control switches. The first stage operates like a regular power window. The second stage allows automatic full opening/closing when pressed briefly. Conventional power windows require continuous pressure on the switch until reaching the desired position. This feature is typically found in mid-to-high-end models for convenience and safety, preventing driver distraction during window operation. One-touch windows usually include anti-pinch protection to avoid injury. 2. One-touch window malfunction: This is often caused by momentary power disconnection in related components. Simply resetting the one-touch window function will resolve the issue.

What does it mean when the driver's license issuance location information fails to be retrieved?

It means the traffic management system cannot retrieve the file information. This situation is usually caused by a system failure that prevents finding the driver's information. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Driver's license issuance location: The driver's license issuance location refers to the place where the license was issued, which is the local vehicle management office where the driver's license was obtained. The registration location of the driver's license is the personal residential address registered when applying for the driver's license. The vehicle license is a document for motor vehicles, serving as the 'identity proof' of motor vehicles. 2. Driver's license: Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. People lacking these skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive motor vehicles without permission. Generally, people cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have mastered safe driving skills, the document that permits them to drive vehicles on the road is the 'driver's license'.

What to Do If the Other Party Flees After a Collision?

Be sure to call the police immediately and report the other party for hit-and-run. Here are the steps to handle a traffic accident: 1. Turn on hazard lights and press the dashcam: The first reaction should always be to stop the car as soon as possible. Turn on the hazard lights, and if you have a dashcam installed, press the 'record' button (dashcams can record events that occurred up to half a minute or more beforehand). This will help the traffic police gain a clearer understanding of the accident and make a ruling. 2. Take photos and do not move the car: If the damage is minor and the accident liability is relatively clear, take some photos of the scene, including the impact area, skid marks, license plate numbers, and an overview of the accident. Take as many photos as possible. Then quickly move the car to a safe area (moving the car is only suitable for minor damage). 3. Place a triangular warning sign: If the vehicle is severely damaged and cannot be moved, be sure to set up a triangular warning sign at least 150 meters away from the accident scene in the direction of oncoming traffic, and wait for the traffic police and rescue teams to arrive.
