Shanghai license plates can be obtained either through a lottery or auction. A license plate, also known as a vehicle registration plate, is a metal or plastic plate attached to the front and rear of a vehicle, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration region, and other basic information. License plates serve as unique identifiers for vehicles, allowing authorities to determine the province, city, or county to which a vehicle belongs, and enabling vehicle management offices to identify the owner. Below are the requirements for participating in the lottery: 1. Be a resident of Shanghai or hold a Shanghai residence permit and have continuously paid social insurance or personal income tax in Shanghai for at least three years prior to the application date; 2. Not currently hold a passenger vehicle quota certificate; 3. Not own a motor vehicle registered with a passenger vehicle quota; 4. Hold a valid motor vehicle driver's license; 5. Have no records of relevant road traffic violations within one year prior to the application date.

Can the ETC still be used after vehicle transfer?

The ETC cannot continue to be used after vehicle transfer. Because the vehicle information has changed, the ETC associated with the vehicle will become invalid. The original owner needs to cancel the previous ETC information, and the new owner needs to apply for a new ETC with the following documents: the new owner's ID card and its copy, the vehicle license and the last vehicle inspection record on it, and a debit card. The documents that the original owner needs to provide for a used car transfer include: the registration certificate, vehicle license, and ID card. The buyer needs to provide an ID card, and if they are from another city, they need a residence permit or temporary residence permit. For vehicle transfer, the first step is to conduct a vehicle evaluation. The evaluation fee is generally 1%-2% of the evaluated vehicle price, and other fees include the license plate, vehicle license, etc. The original vehicle's commercial insurance can be canceled (compulsory insurance cannot be canceled), or the insurance can be transferred to the buyer at the insurance company. Precautions for buying used cars: Incomplete procedures. The complete procedures for a used car include: vehicle registration certificate (or original purchase invoice), vehicle license, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, road maintenance fee procedures, and compulsory insurance. If the vehicle registration certificate or vehicle license is missing, or if there are arrears in compulsory insurance or road maintenance fees, it will bring endless trouble to the buyer. Therefore, when buying a car, if the seller cannot provide complete procedures, consumers should be especially vigilant. Tampering with the odometer. Most consumers like to judge the condition of the car based on the odometer, and sellers often take advantage of this psychology to tamper with the odometer. In fact, the odometer is not only an indicator of usage intensity but also a recorder of the maintenance and replacement of other vehicle parts. If the buyer follows the maintenance schedule based on a tampered odometer, it will bring a series of potential safety hazards. New paint covering external injuries. When consumers choose a used car, if the car has been repainted and there are repair marks around the front face, rear, and A, B, and C pillars, the car is very likely to have been involved in a major accident. Adjusting the heart to raise the price. Many consumers often pay too much attention to the heart of the car (engine) when buying a car and ignore the health of the car body. Used car sellers take advantage of this psychology by replacing engine parts to make the heart of the car appear younger, thereby raising the price.

What is the Difference Between Replacement and Renewal of a Driver's License?

Replacement: When a driver's license is lost, a new one needs to be issued. Article 63 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": If a motor vehicle driver's license is lost, the motor vehicle driver shall apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office of the issuing authority or another vehicle management office outside the issuing authority. Renewal: The driver's license is not lost, but its validity period has expired, requiring a new license to be issued. Article 57 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": A motor vehicle driver shall apply for a renewal at the vehicle management office of the issuing authority or another vehicle management office outside the issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of the motor vehicle driver's license. Renewal: When a driver's license is about to expire, it must be renewed with a new one, which can be done up to 90 days in advance. Plan your time wisely to prevent expiration. Before renewal, check for any traffic violation records. If there are any, they must be cleared before renewal. Fill out the renewal application form and submit the following documents and proofs: Identity proof of the motor vehicle driver. The motor vehicle driver's license. A medical condition certificate issued by a county-level or military medical institution at the regiment level or above. Submit all documents and materials to the staff, pay the fee, and receive the new driver's license. Replacement: Apply for a replacement promptly. Otherwise, driving without a license may result in fines if caught by traffic police. Fill out the replacement application form and submit the following documents and proofs: Identity proof of the motor vehicle driver. A written statement declaring the loss of the motor vehicle driver's license. Submit all documents and materials to the staff. The process is usually completed on the spot. The difference between a replaced license and the original one lies in the barcode (also known as the license core code) on the back of the main copy: After replacement, the original driver's license becomes invalid and must not be used. If the original driver's license is used after obtaining a replacement, the old license will be confiscated by the traffic management department of the public security authority, and a warning or fine may be imposed. Replacement is for when the driver's license is lost, and a new one is issued to replace the original. Renewal is for when the driver's license is not lost, but its validity period has expired, requiring all information to be updated before a new one is issued.

How to Calculate Vehicle Turning Radius?

Vehicle turning radius is the distance from the turning center to the contact point between the outer front steering wheel and the ground. Below is a detailed introduction to vehicle turning radius: 1. Turning radius: The minimum turning radius refers to the trajectory radius rolled by the center plane of the outer steering wheel on the supporting surface when the steering wheel is turned to its limit position and the vehicle turns, moving forward at the lowest stable speed. If the direction is turned left or right, the vehicle will perform circular motion on a specific circumference, and the radius of this circle is the vehicle's turning radius. 2. Standard radius: Generally, the turning radius is about 12 meters.
