Can the cover of the driver's license be replaced?

The cover of the driver's license can be replaced. The cover is only for protecting the driver's license and facilitating its storage and use. As long as the driver's license is genuine and can be correctly identified, it is acceptable. Specific reasons: The cover of the driver's license only serves a protective function. The useful parts of the driver's license are the original and duplicate copies, which must be carried when driving a vehicle. The cover can be freely replaced with a preferred style. Penalties for not carrying the original or duplicate: Deduct 1 point from the driver's license, and issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may be detained until the violation is rectified. The original copy records the driver's name, address, license number, permitted vehicle types, and initial issuance date. The duplicate copy records the license file number and important information such as the probationary period and renewal date. Relevant regulations: The "Decision of the Ministry of Public Security on Amending the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses'" has been approved by the executive meeting of the Minister of Public Security and is hereby promulgated, effective from April 1, 2016. Article 63 states that if a motor vehicle driver's license is lost, the driver shall apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office of the license issuance location or another location. When applying, the applicant must fill out an application form and submit the following documents: (1) the driver's identity proof and (2) a written statement declaring the loss of the driver's license.

Is it necessary to repair a broken urea pump?

It is very necessary to repair a damaged urea pump. When the urea pump fails and stops working, the engine's power output will be restricted. Methods to determine repair: The simplest way to determine if it needs repair is if an SCR fault warning is issued. Additionally, you can listen to see if the urea pump motor has a rotating sound; if not, it indicates damage. Working states: The urea pump has two working states: supply and emptying. When supplying liquid to the urea injection system, the motor drives the supply pump to transfer the urea solution from the urea tank to the pressure chamber. Part of the urea solution is used for injection, while another part flows back to the urea tank through the throttle hole. Precautions: In low-temperature environments, to prevent pipe blockage, the urea pump needs to empty the pressure chamber. The controller will automatically determine whether it enters the emptying state. At this time, the supply pump stops working, and the switch valve opens, allowing the reverse pump to draw the remaining urea solution in the pressure chamber back into the urea tank.

Can I Still Renew My Driver's License If I Fail the Vision Test During the Physical Examination?

If you fail the vision test during the physical examination for driver's license renewal, you cannot renew your license. If your vision does not meet the required standards, you can correct it to the specified level. If correction is not possible but you meet the conditions for other permitted vehicle types, you may apply for a downgrade in the permitted vehicle type. If correction is not possible and you do not meet the requirements for any permitted vehicle type, you must apply to the vehicle management office to cancel your driver's license. Vision requirements for a driver's license: Applicants for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams must have uncorrected or corrected vision of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart in both eyes. Applicants for other permitted vehicle types must have uncorrected or corrected vision of at least 4.9 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart in both eyes. Those with uncorrected or corrected vision of at least 5.0 in their better eye and a horizontal visual field of 150 degrees may apply for a driver's license for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, or small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled. Where to renew the license: Apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued or at another vehicle management office outside the original issuing location. When applying, you must fill out an application form and submit the following documents: the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver and the motor vehicle driver's license.

What is the speed requirement for Subject 3 driving test?

During the Subject 3 driving test, the vehicle speed should be maintained within the range of 20 km/h to 35 km/h. It is essential to balance the gear selection with the corresponding speed during the test. The speed range for first gear is approximately 1 km/h to 10 km/h, second gear is around 10 km/h to 25 km/h, third gear is about 20 km/h to 35 km/h, and fourth gear is roughly 30 km/h to 45 km/h. Candidates should mentally prepare these ranges in advance to make the test easier. Additional precautions during the Subject 3 test include: Upon entering the vehicle, do not rush to start. First, adjust the seat and rearview mirror positions according to your comfort, inspect the surrounding environment, and ensure everything is correct before fastening the seatbelt and starting the vehicle. During the test, when making left or right turns or performing a U-turn, ensure the turn signal remains on for at least 3 seconds without turning off, and match the speed with the appropriate gear. When passing through areas like bus stops or crosswalks, do not exceed 30 km/h. Perform gear shifting operations promptly within the specified time. During straight-line driving, maintain a speed of at least 40 km/h. Always use first gear when starting at traffic lights.

What does it mean to have not yet participated in driver training for the subject?

There are many reasons why the reservation for Subject 1 shows "not yet participated in driver training," with the most common being related to documentation, training hours, and on-site training, especially document review. After enrolling in a driving school, it is generally necessary to complete registration through the school. Once the school completes the registration and uploads the information to the system, the traffic management department will review the candidate's file. Below are specific details about driver training: On-site Training for Driving Test: On-site training for the driving test usually involves volunteering on the streets, primarily correcting and stopping traffic violations by pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles, as well as providing traffic guidance and promoting traffic awareness. Driving Test Training Courses: The training courses mainly cover some traffic rules and the basic structure of motor vehicles, helping candidates gain a preliminary understanding of cars and traffic knowledge before formal training, which facilitates future practice and exams.

Does washing a hot motorcycle have any impact?

Washing a hot motorcycle does have an impact and can cause damage to the engine. Here are specific details about washing a hot motorcycle: Shaking: Try to avoid washing the motorcycle when it's at high temperatures, especially after high-speed riding. Due to the physical principle of thermal expansion and contraction, it may cause the brake disc to deform in a very short time, leading to shaking during braking. Cylinder Block Cracking: Do not directly spray water on the engine when the motorcycle is hot, as it can cause the cylinder block to crack, resulting in unnecessary damage. When using a high-pressure water gun to clean the engine, it's best to adjust the spray to a scattered pattern to avoid water entering the connectors.
