You should wash the car before applying film. If the car body is not clean, bumps will appear after the film is applied, which not only affects the appearance of the car but also makes the raised areas prone to damage. Precautions for car film application: 1. After applying the film, avoid rolling down the windows for three days and do not wash the car during this period; 2. For vehicles with a sunroof, avoid opening the sunroof while driving, especially at high speeds, within three days; 3. If bubbles appear at the edges of the film, go to the installation site for repair within 24 hours. If this period is exceeded, the adhesive around the bubbles will have dried, making the film edges immovable, and folds will inevitably occur during repair; 4. Do not use highly adhesive labels directly on the film within one month of application to prevent partial detachment of the film from the glass; 5. When applying car film, also be aware of the vehicle inspection policies in different cities.

Will Running Over a Parking Block Damage the Car?

If a car wheel runs over a parking block at a very slow speed, it generally won't damage the tire. However, if the speed is relatively fast, it may cause damage to the tire surface. After unlocking with a modifier, when selecting a purchased car to enter the garage, the F4 function of the modifier must be enabled; otherwise, the car will be hidden, leading to such a situation. Below is relevant information about parking spaces: 1. Standard parking space dimensions: Straight parking spaces should be 2.5 meters wide and at least 5 meters long; angled parking spaces should be 2.8 meters wide, with a diagonal length of 6 meters, while maintaining a vertical distance of 2.5 meters between the two angled lines. 2. Parking space design standards: Parking space design standards are divided into four levels. For vehicles with a length not exceeding 6 meters and a width not exceeding 1.8 meters, the minimum spacing between vehicles should be no less than 0.5 meters, and the spacing between the vehicle and walls or the ends of parking spaces should also be no less than 0.5 meters. For vehicles longer than 6 meters but not exceeding 8 meters, and wider than 1.8 meters but not exceeding 2.2 meters, the spacing between vehicles should be no less than 0.7 meters. The corresponding standard for turning areas is to meet the requirement for a vehicle to make a one-time turnaround.

How Many Times Can You Take the Driving License Test - Subject One?

There is no limit to the number of test attempts. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," candidates can take the Subject One test twice on the same day. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a second free retake is allowed. If the second attempt also fails, the Subject One test is terminated for that day, and the candidate must wait ten days before scheduling another test. Subject One, also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is computer-based with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for Subject One is 90 out of 100, with the test consisting of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject One test content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic motor vehicle knowledge; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject One test precautions: Candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the test room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the test room. At the test center, the identity verification desk will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the test, ensuring the camera is aligned with you and adhering to test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a same-day retake is allowed. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect your score report and sign it—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of Subject One test appointments. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if the initial attempt fails. If the retake is also unsuccessful, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject Two and Subject Three allow only five test attempts each. Appointments for Subject Two and Subject Three must be made ten days later. If the Subject Three safe and civilized driving knowledge test is failed, the passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test; Subject Three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, hence it is commonly referred to as Subject Four, though this term is not officially recognized in the regulations (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123).

How Many Kilometers Can a Car Run Before Being Scrapped?

Non-commercial vehicles and commercial vehicles have different scrapping periods, as detailed below: Scrapping regulations for non-commercial vehicles: For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, there is no usage period limit for non-commercial small and micro vehicles. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. In addition to the above vehicles, small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Common scrapping regulations for commercial vehicles: Small and micro taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and micro commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 15 years. Micro commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, Scrapping Approval Application Form" in duplicate and affix the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period, after inspection by the motor vehicle inspection office, if they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner must submit the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the application will be submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle cannot be driven back to the place of registration due to damage, the owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. Commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial vehicles must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle scrapping period. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or deregistration of a motor vehicle, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a new vehicle. The application to use the original license plate number must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or deregistration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

How to Maintain Proper Driving Vision?

Posture determines the viewing angle, and speed determines the viewing angle. Learn to scan with peripheral vision. Here are the detailed explanations: Extended Information: Maintaining the correct driving posture is essential. Do not push the seat too far forward just to get a better view. Generally, the minimum viewing distance is roughly equal to the speed in numbers—for example, at 80 km/h, you should see at least 80 meters ahead. Important Notes: The faster the speed, the farther your vision should extend to avoid fatigue. Avoid fixating on the road surface; instead, move your gaze and use peripheral vision to check the rearview mirror, road surface, and roadside vehicles and pedestrians for overtaking or jaywalkers.
