I've been obsessed with cars since childhood, especially Mercedes-Benz, and I know chassis codes like the back of my hand. These are like secret codes for cars, helping me quickly identify models during forum discussions or car purchases. For example, the current popular A-Class chassis is W177, the new C-Class uses W206 while the older model is W205, the E-Class is W213, the top-tier S-Class is W223, the GLC model is divided into the older X253 and the newer X254, the GLE is W167, the GLS is X167, and the classic G-Class remains W463. The starting letters of the codes follow a pattern: W usually refers to sedans or wagons, X represents SUVs, and C is used for coupe models. These are extremely useful when checking repair manuals or buying/selling used cars, preventing the purchase of wrong parts. I recommend new car enthusiasts to note down these codes, as they also connect to year-specific technical changes, such as the super-reliable W126 S-Class from the 1980s. Maintaining this knowledge makes car life more interesting.

Is it no longer allowed to have someone else take the penalty points for a driver's license?

It is not allowed to have someone else take the penalty points for a driver's license. Penalty points are a management measure for drivers who violate traffic laws, aimed at reducing traffic violations. Having someone else take the points goes against the original intent of this management measure, disrupts the normal traffic management order, and violates the principle of fairness in the Administrative Penalty Law. Accumulating 12 penalty points: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall confiscate their motor vehicle driver's license. The driver must, within 15 days, attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security authority where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred. Taking the test promptly after the study session: After the driver completes the study session, the vehicle management office must administer a test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days.

What Age is a 14-inch Balance Bike Suitable For?

Balance bikes are generally suitable for children aged 3 to 5 years old, but the child's height should also be taken into consideration. Introduction to Balance Bikes: A balance bike is a vehicle that uses the power of pushing off with both feet to exercise a child's balance ability, hence the name balance bike, also known as a child balance bike. Unlike bicycles, balance bikes move at a slower speed, are easier to control, and when encountering obstacles, children instinctively stop by standing on their feet, almost eliminating the possibility of high-speed falls. Additionally, they are designed with steering angle limits for higher safety. Precautions for Balance Bikes: When riding a balance bike outdoors, always wear a helmet to protect the child's head safety. For beginners, it is recommended to wear gloves, knee pads, elbow pads, and other protective gear. Riding should be accompanied by an adult, and it is not allowed to ride on public roads or near dangerous areas such as water bodies, stairs, or cliffs. Below is related content about balance bikes:

What are the reasons for a 170 gasoline engine emitting black smoke and lacking power?

Possible causes include a dirty air filter in the vehicle, poor ignition state of the spark plugs, or malfunctioning ignition coils. Here is related information about gasoline engines emitting black smoke: Causes: Black smoke emission from a gasoline engine is a relatively common phenomenon, mainly due to an overly rich air-fuel mixture in the engine, resulting in incomplete combustion of fuel. This phenomenon is also a primary manifestation of engine faults, and there are many potential causes that need to be investigated one by one. When the air filter in the car is too dirty, the spark plugs have poor ignition performance, or the ignition coils malfunction, it can lead to black smoke emission from the engine exhaust. Solutions: Always refuel at designated gas stations, as using low-quality gasoline can easily lead to similar issues. The air filter should be replaced regularly, as prolonged use can cause the air-fuel mixture to become too rich; inspect the spark plugs.

Should an automatic transmission car be turned off before shifting to P gear or shifted to P gear before turning off?

For an automatic transmission car, the correct procedure is to turn off the engine before shifting to P gear. Here are the details: The correct way to turn off the engine is to first bring the car to a complete stop, then shift the gear to N, engage the handbrake, turn off the engine, and finally shift to P gear. The correct steps to start an automatic transmission car are: press the brake - engage the handbrake - ignite (do not directly shift to D gear; shift to N gear first, then ignite, and then shift from N to D) - release the handbrake - release the foot brake - press the accelerator - start moving. P gear: The structure of P gear is relatively simple, with a pawl next to the gear on the output shaft. When the gear is shifted to P, the pawl grabs the gear, thereby locking the output shaft.

Must I Renew My Driver's License Locally When It Expires?

Within 90 days before the expiration of your driver's license, you can apply for renewal at either the vehicle management office where the license was originally issued or at another location. However, once the license has expired, renewal must be processed at the original issuing location. Renewal Process: Bring your ID card, driver's license, medical fitness certificate, and three passport-sized photos to the vehicle management office where the license was issued. Fill out the 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form' and submit it along with the other documents to process the renewal. After paying the processing fee, you will receive your new driver's license. Renewal in Another Location: If you are unable to apply for renewal yourself due to being in another location, you can mail your ID card, driver's license, medical fitness certificate (issued by a county-level or above medical institution), and three passport-sized photos back home. You can then authorize a family member or friend to handle the renewal process on your behalf.
