Hongqi car driver evaluation criteria Serial number Basic standards: Conduct pre-departure inspections, on-the-way checks, and post-return as required; Complete the vehicle yard day tasks as required by the unit leader; Perform vehicle maintenance according to regulations and meet the specified standards. Methods to identify whether it is a new car are as follows: Check the manufacturing date: The vehicle's manufacturing date should match the certificate of conformity, which is usually difficult to alter. If the manufacturing date exceeds 15 days, then it is an old car. Check the brake discs: Most small passenger vehicles nowadays have disc brakes (at least the front brakes are disc brakes), and examining the brake discs is a very reliable method. Generally, after driving more than 200 kilometers, the brake pads will leave obvious marks on the brake discs. Typically, there is a 1-2 mm distance between the brake pads and the outer edge of the brake disc. After driving a certain distance, the outer edge of the brake disc will develop what is commonly known as a "step" (the "step" on a new car is very low).

I have been engaged in professional driving for many years and have participated in the selection of Hongqi vehicle drivers for a long time. The evaluation criteria are among the strictest in the country: first, candidates must have a record of zero at-fault accidents for over ten consecutive years, with quarterly reassessments of driving skills and emergency response capabilities. The political review process is exceptionally rigorous, examining the political backgrounds of three generations of the family and evaluating the candidate's ideological awareness, often taking up to three months. Physical fitness requirements are extremely high, including not only meeting vision standards but also passing a seven-hour continuous driving endurance test. We place special emphasis on psychological resilience, particularly the reaction speed in simulated scenarios involving foreign guest reception and unexpected situations. Daily assessments also cover international etiquette, compliance with confidentiality regulations, and even the standard standing posture in formal attire, which requires three weeks of practice. Service details are critical to success, with even the 45-degree angle for opening and closing car doors included in the scoring criteria.

As a fleet manager, I believe there are three hard thresholds for Hongqi vehicle drivers. Safety indicators take top priority, requiring an A1 driver's license held for over eight years with a cumulative safe driving distance exceeding 200,000 kilometers and a clean traffic violation record. Political reliability must pass three rounds of background checks by superior departments, with all family member information filed and archived. Health monitoring is more frequent than for airline pilots, with monthly eye fundus examinations and quarterly cardiovascular tests strictly enforced. In practical assessments, special driving tasks account for 40% of the score, requiring precise right-angle turns on slippery surfaces and stopping from 80 km/h within 200 meters with an error margin not exceeding 30 centimeters. Emergency response tests involve simultaneously handling dual failures of tire blowouts and vehicle smoke. Weekly diplomatic etiquette training is mandatory, with even tea-serving gestures recorded and evaluated. Service level carries equal weight as driving skills in the evaluation system.

My uncle has been a Hongqi car driver for twenty years and often shares insider stories about the selection process. The selection is divided into two rounds: preliminary and final. The preliminary test is a grueling driving : performing continuous S-curve drifts on snow without hitting cones, and navigating an infrared obstacle course at night without headlights. The political vetting goes beyond reviewing personal files—local police officers conduct neighborhood visits to verify character. The final review is even more intense: candidates must drive in a simulated leader's vehicle while answering sudden political questions from examiners. Physical tests include extreme temperature tolerance assessments, such as standing shirtless in minus ten-degree weather for three minutes to measure heart rate stability. Daily protocols are absurdly strict: shoes must be polished to a mirror shine, and phone calls must begin with "Hello" followed by stating one's position. Confidentiality training involves scenario simulations, like how to handle persistent journalists asking about schedules.
