The photo on the driver's license is not pasted on. Drivers cannot arbitrarily change the photo on their driver's license due to personal preferences, as doing so would constitute the illegal act of altering a motor vehicle driver's license. Below is the relevant information: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," forging, altering, or using forged or altered motor vehicle registration certificates, license plates, driving permits, or driver's licenses will result in confiscation by the traffic management department of the public security authorities, detention of the vehicle, up to 15 days of detention, and a fine; if the act constitutes a crime, criminal liability will be pursued in accordance with the law. Additional information: Pasting one's photo onto another person's driver's license is also an illegal act. A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal certificate issued by relevant administrative authorities after passing the required examinations, permitting the holder to drive certain types of motor vehicles. The name, ID number, photo, and other details recorded on the license cannot be arbitrarily altered by others.

The photo on the driver's license isn't pasted on; nowadays, it's directly printed on the card. I remember that about 20 years ago, the older versions of driver's licenses might have had pasted photos, but those were prone to falling off or being tampered with. When applying for a new license now, you either take a photo at the DMV or upload a digital photo, and then the machine processes and prints it directly onto the card, giving an overall more professional and secure feel. This method offers better anti-counterfeiting properties, making it difficult for others to replace the photo easily. I've been driving for over a decade and renewed my license twice, both times with this printed version, and the color has never faded. Moreover, the card material is more durable, so getting it wet or driving in hot weather won't affect the photo. If someone still thinks the photo is pasted on, they might have seen a very old license or a fake one. Modern technology has made these everyday documents more reliable, allowing us to drive without worrying about minor details.

Is It Normal for the Four Tires to Have Different Tire Pressures?

It is not necessarily normal for the four tires to have different tire pressures. The tire pressures of a car's four tires cannot always be the same, but the difference between the front and rear tires should not be too large. Generally, a difference of around 0.1 bar is considered normal. Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure while the car is in motion, alerting the driver to tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver when the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure alert systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): TPMS combines the advantages of both systems mentioned above. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and an indirect system for all four wheels. Compared to a fully direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time data on the actual pressure in all four tires as a direct system does.

Do I Need to Make an Appointment to Register My Car at the DMV?

New car registration does not require an appointment. Here is an introduction to the registration process: 1. Obtain the vehicle certificate of conformity: The vehicle certificate of conformity is very important and is required for vehicle registration. Currently, some car dealerships delay handing over the certificate of conformity, which can postpone the registration process. Therefore, it is advisable to obtain the certificate of conformity as soon as possible by communicating firmly with the dealership. 2. Keep the triplicate car purchase invoice: After purchasing a car, the dealership will issue a triplicate car purchase invoice. It is essential to keep this invoice safe as it will be needed for subsequent registration and other procedures. The invoice consists of red, yellow, and blue copies. Generally, the red and yellow copies need to be submitted, while the yellow copy should be kept for personal records.

What is the difference between 5w30 and 5w40 engine oil?

The difference between 5w30 and 5w40 engine oil lies in their viscosity: 5w30 means the viscosity index of the oil at 100 degrees Celsius working condition is 30; 5w40 means the viscosity index at 100 degrees Celsius working condition is 40. The higher the number, the greater the viscosity, and the better the protection for the engine under high temperatures. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting certain new properties.

What symptoms will appear if the knock sensor is broken?

Cars with a faulty knock sensor will exhibit the following conditions: engine shaking, noise generation, the malfunction indicator light will illuminate, and in severe cases, it may lead to significant damage to the firmware. Below are the reasons related to a faulty knock sensor: 1. Early ignition, poor exhaust gas recirculation: Engine knocking caused by low-grade fuel and other reasons can result in engine damage. The knock sensor provides the knocking signal to the computer (some through the Powertrain Control Module PCM), allowing the computer to readjust the ignition timing to prevent further knocking. 2. The knock sensor is placed in different locations on the engine block or cylinders: When vibration or knocking occurs, it generates a small voltage peak; the greater the knocking or vibration, the larger the peak produced by the knock sensor. A certain high frequency indicates knocking or vibration, and knock sensors are typically designed to measure frequencies in the range of 5 to 15 kHz.

What does 5w30 mean for engine oil?

In engine oil 5w30, the 5 represents resistance to external low temperatures of minus 30 degrees, W stands for winter suitability, and 30 indicates the kinematic viscosity standard at 100 degrees Celsius is 30. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption for the engine. The roles of engine oil include: 1. Lubrication and wear reduction, forming an oil film between components through flow to reduce frictional resistance and minimize wear; 2. Cleaning effect, circulating within the engine to remove carbon deposits, oil sludge, and other contaminants produced by the engine; 3. Protective effect, utilizing its 'oiliness' to provide protection; 4. Auxiliary cooling, as the oil continuously circulates and flows during high-speed engine operation, it helps dissipate some of the engine's heat; 5. Shock absorption, the oil can bear part of the impact load transmitted by bearings and also provide a certain cushioning effect for impacts between components.
