Under the new traffic regulations, five years of A3 license experience are required to upgrade to an A1 license, and there must be no instances of accumulating 12 penalty points within the 5-year scoring cycle. Legal provisions: According to Article 15 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses', if a driver already holds a motor vehicle driver's license and applies to add permitted driving models, there must be no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before the application. Permitted driving models that can be added: Students currently receiving full-time driving vocational education who have obtained the qualification to drive small cars at school and have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before the application can apply to add permitted driving models for large buses and tractor-trailers.

How long does it usually take to warm up a car in winter?

In winter, it usually takes 1 to 2 minutes to warm up the car until the engine coolant reaches normal temperature, after which you can start driving. Tips for warming up your car in winter: 1. Reasons for warming up: When a car hasn't been driven for a long time, the engine oil flows back into the oil pan. When the car starts, the oil cannot immediately circulate from the oil pan, causing some engine components to lack lubrication, which can lead to wear. 2. Warming up techniques: (1) After starting the car, wait 30 seconds to one minute before driving. Avoid high-speed driving at this time; maintain a low speed and keep the RPM below 2000 while driving slowly. (2) Monitor the coolant temperature gauge during the process. If it rises slightly, you can shift to a higher gear appropriately. After driving about one kilometer, when the car is fully warmed up, you can drive normally.

Can the driving test be extended if it is about to expire?

It is not possible to apply for an extension of the driving test; you must re-register and start the test again. According to Article 32 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses,' for the initial application for a motor vehicle driving license or the application to add a permitted driving model, after passing the subject one test, the vehicle management office shall issue a driving skill test permit within one day. The driving skill test permit is valid for three years, and the applicant must complete subject two and subject three tests within the validity period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the results of the already passed subjects will be invalidated. Since the 'Learning to Drive Certificate' can only be obtained by passing subject one, if subject one is failed, the three-year validity period of the driving test will not take effect. The driving test includes three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). The order of the test subjects is traffic regulations and related knowledge (referred to as subject one [theory]), field driving (referred to as subject two [nine items]), and road driving (referred to as subject three [road test and safe and civilized driving]), conducted in sequence. During the test, if one subject is failed, the following subjects will not proceed. Each subject test has two opportunities. If both attempts are failed, the current test is terminated. During the validity period of the learning driving license, you can pay the retest fee and take the retest after further study. The retest fee varies depending on local conditions. After completing subject one, you must pass subject two and subject three within three years. If you cannot pass, the test content will be invalidated, and you must re-register for subject one. Under the new regulations, both subject two and subject three have five attempts. If you cannot pass within these five attempts, you must retake subject one.

Why does the ETC beep when passing on the highway?

On the highway, the ETC beeps because it uses microwave communication technology. It is normal for it to make a sound when approaching products that use microwave communication, such as cameras, probes, access control systems, and surveillance devices. This does not affect normal usage. How ETC works: Through the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, it engages in dedicated short-range communication with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. By leveraging computer networking technology for backend settlement processing with banks, it enables vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the required fees. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters to prevent automatic sensing and payment for the vehicle ahead, in case its ETC device is faulty or nonexistent. The ETC lane recognizes vehicle speeds of up to 20 km/h. Driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to failed deductions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, may render the electronic tag ineffective. It can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or to a highway service office for inspection. If the loosening or detachment was not caused by human intervention, reactivation may suffice. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause deduction failures. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane, paying with cash or card. Excessively thick windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is particularly relevant for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or those with modified front windshields.

How to Deal with Bird Droppings Corroding Car Paint?

Bird droppings corroding car paint can be handled as follows: 1. If there are only marks left, first rinse the car body with clean water to soften the bird droppings, then use car wash liquid and a towel to wipe the affected area until it is completely clean; 2. If the corrosion has been present for a long time, you can either go to a beauty service shop or perform waxing or touch-up painting yourself. Bird droppings are highly corrosive. If left uncleaned for a long time, they may leave hard-to-remove marks on the car paint at best, or cause the paint to peel off at worst.
