According to regulations, a new car must undergo an annual inspection in the second year. The normal annual inspection process involves taking the vehicle to a testing station for checks (lights, tires, exhaust emissions, etc.), and then obtaining the inspection label after the vehicle passes the inspection. Due to the "6-year exemption policy," the vehicle inspection part is waived, and you can directly apply for the inspection label. The relevant regulations on motor vehicle annual inspections are as follows: 1. Passenger vehicles for operational use must be inspected once a year within 5 years; after 5 years, once every 6 months; 2. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within 10 years; after 10 years, once every 6 months; 3. Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within 6 years; starting from November 20, 2020, for vehicles over 6 years but under 10 years, the inspection cycle has been relaxed from once a year to once every two years, meaning private cars only need to undergo on-site inspections twice within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years.

How to Conduct Vehicle Annual Inspection and Testing?

Drive the car to the entrance of the inspection station and wait for testing (remove valuables from the car). Hand the car over to the inspector for testing, and the owner waits to pick up the car. After the inspection is completed, the staff will issue an inspection report, payment receipt, and bind a copy of the insurance policy. Pay the inspection fee, which includes various vehicle inspection fees and administrative costs. Submit the required documents (inspection form, copy of insurance, vehicle registration certificate, and receipt) to the staff, and the vehicle inspection compliance sticker can be collected in 5 minutes.

How to Get a Stuck Car Out?

Place sand, gravel, or stones in front of the wheel stuck in the pit to increase friction. While applying forward force to the car, have passengers assist by pushing from behind. If increasing friction alone isn't enough to free the car, place sand, gravel, or stones to enhance traction. While moving the car forward, have passengers use a pry bar for additional leverage. If the above two methods prove ineffective, seek assistance from acquaintances or passing vehicles to tow your car out of the mud pit. For larger vehicles where all three methods fail, it's advisable to call for professional towing or crane rescue services.

How to Get Out When Cars Are Parked Too Close Side by Side?

First, turn the steering wheel all the way outward, shift into drive gear, and slowly move the car forward. If you visually estimate that the car might be too close to the vehicle in front, immediately brake, turn the steering wheel all the way inward, shift into reverse gear, and slowly back the car up. Use the reversing radar to gauge the distance from the vehicle behind. Try to get as close as possible to the rear car to leave enough space for the front to turn. Brake immediately when reaching the minimum distance. If you find that you still can't exit the parking space, repeat the above steps. After a few attempts, the car will be able to leave the spot.

What to Do When the Leather in Your Car Gets Scratched?

First, use a soft brush or a semi-wet towel to thoroughly clean the leather surface that needs repair and has wrinkles, then dry it with a dry towel. This ensures that subsequent materials can better penetrate the leather layer. Use water sandpaper to sand the surface that needs repair. If there are any cracked hard spots, remove them, and brush away the sanded leather debris with a toothbrush. Apply a leather softener to the leather surface to soften hardened leather. Follow the sequence of "filling—sanding—filling—sanding" when applying the repair paste. Color the surface as quickly as possible within 60 to 150 seconds. Match the color using a color card, then use a spray gun to evenly coat the leather layer. Finally, apply a post-treatment agent to fix the color.

What Are the Consequences of Running Out of Gas in a Car?

Running out of gas can cause certain damage to the fuel pump. Generally, when the car's fuel tank warning light comes on, the vehicle can still travel approximately 50 kilometers. However, it is advisable not to wait until the warning light appears to refuel, as this can negatively impact the car. This is because the amount of heat the fuel in the tank can absorb is proportional to the volume of fuel. If the fuel level continues to decrease, it may damage the fuel pump and shorten its lifespan. Refueling Precautions: When refueling, avoid filling the tank to the brim, especially during hot summer conditions. Gasoline in the tank expands when heated and can evaporate into gasoline vapor under high temperatures. If there is no extra space in the fuel tank to store the vapor, it not only leads to waste but also pollutes the environment. Additionally, it may increase the car's fuel consumption. Although refueling only when the warning light comes on does not cause obvious harm to the car, from a practical standpoint, maintaining an adequate fuel level is also a safety measure.
