Motor vehicle license plates must be replaced if they are struck or scratched by hard objects, or if the background color or character color has significantly faded due to traffic accidents, sun exposure, or other reasons, resulting in inconsistent reflectivity of the characters or uneven reflectivity of the background color. Additionally, replacement is required if the mounting holes of the license plate are damaged, if there is any other physical or chemical damage, or if the vehicle registration number is incomplete, affecting the identification of the license plate. Below is relevant information about replacing damaged motor vehicle license plates: 1. Original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's identity proof. 2. The damaged or remaining part of the license plate must be recovered if it is not completely lost or missing.

I've been driving a taxi for ten years, and it's actually quite common to need to replace license plates. Generally speaking, if the license plate is severely damaged—such as numbers being worn down and unreadable, cracks large enough to affect the overall shape, or if it's warped and shaky—then it definitely needs replacement. Like last time, I encountered a passenger whose license plate was cracked from a collision, with half the numbers blurred, and the police fined them upon inspection. Minor scratches are no big deal, as long as the plate is recognizable from a distance. Getting a new plate is simple—just visit the vehicle management office and pay a small fee. Don’t delay, or you might fail the next inspection. Also, blurred license plates are even more dangerous when driving in rain or at night, as they can easily lead to accidents. Everyone should take a few extra glances at their license plates during car maintenance and address any issues early—it saves money and brings peace of mind.

What is the difference between dual CVTC and ECVT?

The differences between dual CVTC and ECVT are as follows: 1. Dual CVTC: Dual CVTC is a variable valve timing system, which is a technology used in automotive piston engines. The variable valve timing system consists of solenoid valves and variable camshaft phase adjusters. By adjusting the camshaft phase of the engine, the intake volume can change with the engine speed, thereby achieving optimal combustion efficiency and improving fuel economy. The variable valve timing system can not only change the opening and closing times of the intake and exhaust valves but also enhance power output to some extent. Its principle involves using hydraulic action to alter the angle between the camshaft synchronous timing belt pulley and the end of the camshaft, thus changing the valve timing angle. 2. ECVT: ECVT can only be used in motor-driven or hybrid vehicles and is not applicable to gasoline engines. It adjusts speed through the motor, features an all-gear structure, can withstand greater torque, and offers higher efficiency and faster speed.

What are the reasons for the abnormal noise in the rear brake of the UY125?

The reasons for the abnormal noise in the rear brake of the UY125 are as follows: 1. Break-in period for new vehicles: New vehicles or recently replaced brake discs and pads will have a break-in period, during which some abnormal noises are unavoidable. These noises typically disappear after driving a few hundred kilometers. 2. Normal activation of the ABS system: During emergency braking, the brake pedal may produce a continuous "thudding" sound, sometimes accompanied by a pulsating sensation. This indicates that the ABS system is activated, which is normal. In such cases, firmly press the brake pedal all the way down, but this applies only to vehicles equipped with an ABS system. 3. Metal hard spots on the brake pads: Brake pads may contain small metal particles, which can produce sharp, screeching noises when lightly braking. This issue can be resolved by forcefully applying the brakes several times, removing and regrinding the brake pads, or replacing them with higher-quality ones. 4. Severe wear on the brake disc: Wear on the brake disc can create deep grooves around its circumference. Friction between the brake pads and the edges of these grooves can cause abnormal noises. If the grooves are not too deep, grinding the edges of the brake pads to avoid contact with the groove edges may solve the problem. If the grooves are very deep, replacing the brake disc is necessary. Generally, it is recommended to replace the brake disc every two brake pad replacements.

What lights to use when going straight through an intersection without traffic signals?

When passing through an intersection without traffic signals, you should alternately use high and low beams more than twice, slow down in advance, and signal by alternating between high and low beams while paying close attention to the traffic ahead. At night when approaching an uncontrolled intersection, switch between low and high beams near the intersection to alert vehicles and pedestrians from perpendicular directions and opposite lanes, while also reducing your speed. Below are related lighting instructions: 1. Driving at night without streetlights or under poor lighting conditions (headlights). 2. Meeting non-motor vehicles on narrow roads at night (low beam). 3. Following another vehicle closely in the same direction at night (low beam). 4. Meeting motor vehicles at night (low beam). 5. Passing over bridges or crosswalks at night (alternate between high and low beams). 6. Navigating sharp curves or slopes at night (alternate between high and low beams). 7. Passing through intersections without traffic signals at night (alternate between high and low beams). 8. Experiencing a vehicle breakdown on the road at night that obstructs traffic and is difficult to move (parking lights and hazard warning lights). 9. Driving in foggy conditions (fog lights and hazard warning lights).

How Many More Years Can China III Gasoline Private Cars Be Driven?

China III vehicles are highly likely to be phased out. Although mandatory scrapping has not been enforced, they are facing guided scrapping. Restricted driving zones are increasing, with cities like Beijing and Shenzhen successively announcing restricted areas for China III vehicles. Additional information is as follows: 1. China III Standard: This refers to China's third-stage vehicle emission standards. The main requirements are: HC emissions below 0.2g/km, CO emissions below 2.3g/km, NOx emissions below 0.15g/km, with no PM requirement. 2. Vehicle Exhaust: Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and other solid particles harmful to human health, especially leaded gasoline, which poses greater risks. Lead in exhaust exists in particle form and spreads with the wind. Vehicle exhaust is highly complex, with over 100 components, and its main pollutants include carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. 3. Gasoline Composition: Gasoline is primarily composed of carbon and hydrogen. During normal combustion, it produces carbon dioxide, water vapor, and excess oxygen, among other substances. However, due to impurities and additives in the fuel and incomplete combustion, harmful substances are often emitted.
