2020's latest regulations for B2 driver's license annual inspection: According to the current regulations, the B2 driver's license requires an annual inspection, which must be conducted within 30 days after the end of the current scoring cycle at the local vehicle management office where the license was issued. However, if there are no accumulated demerit points during the current scoring cycle, the inspection for that cycle can be exempted. In simple terms, if there are no demerit points, no inspection is required until the license needs to be renewed upon expiration. Important notes for annual inspection: During the annual inspection, the vehicle management office will check the vehicle's lights. If the lights are found to be either too dim or too bright, the vehicle will be deemed unqualified and will not pass the inspection. If the lights are too dim, check the wiring and bulbs for aging, and replace the relevant parts if necessary. If xenon headlights have been installed, it is recommended to restore the original headlights before the inspection to pass the test.

I've been driving trucks for over a decade, and I feel the 2020 B2 license annual review has changed significantly. The new regulations emphasize online processing, so you don't have to keep going to the traffic management office. Now I use a mobile app to submit materials, like uploading my medical certificate. The cycle is still every two years, but if you're over 60, it's required annually. My buddy just turned 58, so I reminded him to pay attention. The penalty point system has become stricter—if you have a full-point record, you have to take safety courses. I think this helps improve driving safety. It's not difficult to operate; preparing a month in advance saves time and avoids delivery delays. It's quite convenient.

As a young driver who just got my B2 license two years ago, the 2020 regulations are quite friendly to us. Everything can be handled through the 'Traffic Management 12123' App. Medical reports can be uploaded online without visiting in person. The key is the flexible annual review cycle—once every two years if you have no full demerit points, but you must clear any records before review. I also found that the system can remind you of the due date to avoid missing it and getting fined. The actual operation is simple, taking just a few minutes, making it worry-free and efficient—perfect for us young people who love to tinker. One more thing: keeping your license clean is crucial to avoid affecting your job.

What causes the intermittent shaking of the Focus engine?

The reasons for the intermittent shaking of the Focus engine are: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits: Symptoms include poor engine performance, increased fuel consumption, and even difficulty starting; 2. Issues with the ignition system: Certain components or wiring of the ignition coil in the arc system may have open circuits or short circuits; 3. Unstable oil pressure: This can be due to insufficient engine oil, dirty oil, thinning oil, oil pipe leakage, oil pump damage, or excessive wear of its components. The Focus is a compact car launched by Changan Ford, with dimensions of 4647mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2705mm. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine or a 1.5T turbocharged engine, paired with an 8-speed automatic, 6-speed automatic, 6-speed manual, or 8-speed automatic manual transmission.

What are the reasons for fifth gear disengagement?

The reasons for fifth gear disengagement are as follows: 1. Self-locking device damage: To prevent gear disengagement during driving, the transmission control mechanism is usually equipped with a self-locking device. If this device is damaged (e.g., broken self-locking spring, fractured self-locking ball head, etc.), it may cause transmission disengagement. 2. Severe synchronizer wear: When the synchronizer engagement sleeve lock ring or slider is severely worn, the synchronizer may overcome the locking force of the self-locking device during high-speed rotation, sliding out of the engagement gear ring and causing transmission disengagement. 3. Severe wear of the shift lever or fork: If the shift lever or fork is severely worn, the fork may fail to push the synchronizer to the engagement position, preventing perfect meshing with the engagement sleeve. During high-speed rotation, the synchronizer may then slide out of the engagement sleeve, leading to transmission disengagement.

How Many Years Should You Drive a Car Before Replacing It?

The usable lifespan of a car is not determined by its age but by its mileage. The government will recommend scrapping a car once it reaches 600,000 kilometers. Here are some ways to extend your car's lifespan: 1. Maintain good driving habits: The way you drive significantly impacts your car's longevity. Gentle driving, gradual acceleration, and anticipating braking can reduce wear and tear while saving fuel. In cold weather, warm up the car first to allow the lubricant to circulate freely and fully lubricate internal components. 2. Regular cleaning and weight reduction are essential: Take care of the car's exterior with periodic washing and waxing, and don’t neglect the interior. Spend time cleaning instead of just masking odors with air fresheners, and vacuum the carpets regularly. 3. Choose a trusted repair shop: Visiting different shops each time means every technician has to relearn your car, perform the same thorough inspection, identify potential issues, and then address them. This process takes longer and may cost more.

What does 'road' mean on a car?

On a car, 'road' refers to a differential lock. The function of a differential lock: A differential lock is a differential with an automatic locking function. Its purpose is to enhance the vehicle's ability to traverse poor road conditions. Specifically, when one of the vehicle's drive axles spins freely, the differential lock can quickly lock the differential, turning the two drive axles into a rigid connection. Standard differential: A standard differential allows the left and right wheels to rotate at different speeds. However, when one wheel spins freely, the other wheel on good road surface also fails to receive torque, causing the vehicle to lose driving power. In such cases, the differential becomes ineffective. By connecting the two wheels together, power can at least be transmitted to the other wheel, providing the vehicle with driving force to escape the predicament. This situation also applies to central differentials. As a result, various differential locking mechanisms have been developed.

Can I Turn on the Air Conditioning Directly After Getting in the Car?

You should not turn on the air conditioning directly after getting in the car. It is recommended to wait a few minutes after the vehicle is running before turning it on, as it takes a few minutes for the lubricating oil to fully lubricate the various components of the engine. Turning on the air conditioning immediately after getting in the car will increase the load on the engine, and starting the air conditioning without sufficient lubrication will accelerate engine wear. Below is an introduction to air conditioning maintenance: 1. Comprehensive inspection of the air conditioning: When using the air conditioning for the first time in summer, you should first check the air conditioning system, such as checking the refrigerant and whether the air conditioning filter is too dirty through the liquid storage tank, and whether there are foreign objects in the radiator. 2. Pay attention to the cleaning of the air conditioning: The air filter should be replaced regularly, otherwise the air conditioning will produce a musty smell. In addition, the condenser should also be cleaned regularly, and the water tank should be removed for thorough cleaning.

Why can't the car key be turned and the steering wheel can't be moved?

The reason why the car key can't be turned and the steering wheel can't be moved is that the car's automatic steering wheel lock function has been activated. Reasons for the steering wheel lock: For the safety of the vehicle, when the car is turned off, if the steering wheel is turned left or right or the wheels are not parked straight, the force will cause the steering wheel to rotate, triggering the steering wheel self-locking function. This causes the steering lock pin and steering column to engage. The vehicle's anti-theft system perceives a potential theft risk, thus locking the steering wheel to prevent theft. Unlocking method: First, insert the key and press the brake, then turn the steering wheel left and right. Although the steering wheel is in a locked state at this time, it can still be slightly rotated when turning. While turning the steering wheel, turn the key simultaneously to complete the steering wheel unlocking procedure.
