You should wash your car before applying window tint because the vehicle needs to be clean before the tinting process, and you cannot wash the car for a week after the tint is applied. Car window tinting involves applying a thin film to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sometimes the sunroof. This film is also known as solar film or heat-insulating film. The benefits of car window tinting include: 1. Heat and Sun Protection: The film effectively blocks a significant amount of infrared heat. 2. UV Protection: Medium and long-wave ultraviolet rays can penetrate thick glass, but the heat-insulating film blocks most UV rays, protecting your skin and reducing the aging of car interiors. 3. Safety and Explosion Protection: The base layer of the film is made of polyester, which is highly resistant to tearing and puncturing. Combined with the adhesive layer, the film enhances the strength of the glass, preventing injuries from accidental glass breakage.

It is essential to wash the car before applying window film, as dirt can affect the adhesion. I have experienced bubbling issues due to not washing the car, so I recommend thoroughly cleaning the glass and letting it dry.

Does Rainy Weather Affect Electric Vehicle Charging?

Charging electric vehicles on rainy days is highly unsafe. Here are the specific details: 1. Although current construction technology can ensure the safety of charging piles, the vehicles themselves are highly conductive. Therefore, in the event of thunderstorms, it is easy to cause overloading of the charging piles. 2. During charging, if rainwater leakage occurs, it can easily lead to electric leakage from the charging pile, posing significant risks to both personal and vehicle safety. Here are some additional considerations: 1. The most important thing when charging during thunderstorms is to inspect the charging pile and charging gun, and only proceed with charging after ensuring safety. 2. During thunderstorms, it is necessary to avoid using the "flying wire" charging method to prevent personal injury and property damage caused by electrical short circuits.

What is the maximum number of days allowed for the annual review of an A2 driver's license?

The annual review of an A2 driver's license can be postponed for a maximum of three years, and the driver is not allowed to operate a motor vehicle during the extension period. The driver's license review can be delayed, but the driver must submit an application, and the delay cannot exceed three years. The specific details are as follows: Within 1 year: The renewal or review can be processed through normal procedures. More than 1 year but less than 3 years: The driver must take the subject one exam at the vehicle management office and pass it before the renewal or review can be processed. More than 3 years: Class C driver's licenses will be invalidated, and the driver must reapply. Class A and B driver's licenses will be downgraded to a C1 license. Generally, driver's licenses below Class C do not require an annual review, only Class AB licenses do. Driver's licenses below Class C require an annual review if the driver is involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bears equal or greater responsibility without having their license revoked. Class AB driver's licenses must be reviewed by the traffic management department of the public security authority within thirty days after the end of each scoring cycle. However, if there are no demerit points recorded during a scoring cycle, the review for that cycle is exempted. If there are demerit points within a scoring cycle, an annual review is required. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": Article 70: Motor vehicle drivers shall, in accordance with the provisions of laws and administrative regulations, regularly undergo review by the traffic management department of the public security authority. When motor vehicle drivers renew their driver's licenses in accordance with Articles 57 and 58 of these regulations, they shall undergo review by the traffic management department of the public security authority. Drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks shall undergo review by the traffic management department of the public security authority within thirty days after the end of each scoring cycle. However, if there are no demerit points recorded during a scoring cycle, the review for that cycle is exempted. Drivers holding licenses for vehicle types not specified in the third paragraph of this article shall undergo review by the traffic management department of the public security authority within thirty days after the end of the scoring cycle if they are involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bear equal or greater responsibility without having their license revoked.

What are the new regulations for renewing an A2 driver's license?

If an A2 driver's license has not incurred any demerit points for 6 consecutive years since the date of issuance, it can be renewed for a 10-year license. If there are no demerit points for 10 consecutive years, it can be directly renewed for a long-term license. Note that this is a renewal, not a review. For renewal, provide the original driver's license, original ID card, a medical certificate from a county-level or above medical institution, photos, and fill out the driver's license application form. Penalties for expired driver's license: Driving a motor vehicle during the expiration period is treated as driving without a license. If the license is expired for less than one year, the driver can renew it at any time, but driving on the road will result in a 200 yuan fine. If the license is expired for more than one year without renewal, the traffic management department will cancel it. If the expiration is less than three years, the driver must retake and pass the subject one exam to restore driving privileges. Driving during this period will result in a fine ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan. If the license is expired for more than three years, it will be permanently canceled. To drive again, the driver must retake the driver's license exam. Otherwise, driving on the road will be treated as driving without a license, resulting in a 2000 yuan fine and up to 15 days of administrative detention.
