2020 Chengdu's latest traffic restriction rules for vehicles are: Starting from April 7, 2020, the city will orderly resume the traffic management measures of restricting vehicles based on the last digit of their license plates during weekday rush hours. The restricted hours are during the morning rush from 7:30 to 9:00 and the evening rush from 17:00 to 19:00 on weekdays. The restricted area covers all roads within the Chengdu Ring Expressway. Restricted vehicles are prohibited from driving within the restricted area during the restricted hours on each weekday based on the last digit of their license plate numbers.

I live in Chengdu and have been driving for many years. The 2020 vehicle restriction policy did affect my daily commute. The core is the tail number restriction policy: between 7:30 and 20:00 on weekdays, vehicles with the last digit of their license plate matching two designated numbers are restricted. For example, on Mondays, vehicles ending with 1 or 6 cannot drive within the area inside the Second Ring Road, and similar rules apply on other days. The restricted area covers most parts of Chengdu's main urban area, but the Second Ring Road itself is not restricted. Pure electric or hybrid new energy vehicles are exempt. As an ordinary driver, I have to check the last digit of my license plate before every trip. If I accidentally violate the rules, the fine is not cheap, usually starting at 100 yuan, and sometimes points are deducted. Additional topic: Back in 2020, the traffic pressure was high, and the restriction was aimed at alleviating congestion and air pollution. I often noticed people switching to subways or shared bikes, especially during rush hours. I recommend local car owners to download the traffic management app for real-time reminders about restriction days. Don't risk breaking the rules for temporary convenience, or you might get caught by surveillance cameras, which would be a big trouble. New energy vehicles are the best choice as they are not subject to restrictions, making life easier.

How much fuel is generally consumed per 100 kilometers?

Different cars have different fuel consumption levels. Generally, a car consumes around 6-8 liters per 100 kilometers. The fuel consumption level is related to many factors, including driving environment and driving habits. Below are some fuel-saving tips: Avoid pressing the accelerator pedal too hard when starting: When starting the car, gently pressing the accelerator pedal is a more fuel-efficient way to let the car start slowly. Maintain a reasonable speed and drive at a steady pace. A speed of 60-90 kilometers per hour is relatively fuel-efficient. Try to maintain a constant speed and avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration. Avoid prolonged idling: Excessive idling will inevitably increase fuel consumption, especially during traffic jams. It is recommended to turn off the engine if idling for more than 5 minutes. Avoid long-distance driving at low speeds: Fuel consumption is higher at low speeds. It is recommended to maintain a speed above 60 kilometers per hour whenever possible. Avoid sudden braking: Emergency braking increases fuel consumption. Therefore, slow down in advance at intersections or crowded areas.

How to Transfer Commercial Insurance for Used Cars?

Methods for transferring commercial insurance in used car transactions: After the vehicle ownership transfer is completed at the vehicle management office, the new owner of the used car should bring the transfer invoice, copy of the vehicle license, original insurance policy, their ID card, and the original policyholder's ID card to the original insurance company. By filling out a transfer application form, the endorsement transfer can be completed. Below are relevant details about transferring used car insurance: 1. Changing the policyholder: First, prepare the ID cards of both parties involved in the transfer, the new vehicle license, the vehicle registration certificate, the original insurance policy, and other required materials. Then, visit the original insurance company to fill out a 'Vehicle Transfer Application Form' to complete the transfer. 2. Applying for policy cancellation: If the new owner is unsatisfied with the previous owner's insurance company or finds the transfer process too cumbersome, they can directly apply for policy cancellation to terminate the original insurance. When applying for cancellation, only the premium from the start of the insurance period to the cancellation date needs to be paid, and the insurance company will refund the remaining fees. After cancellation, the new owner can choose a new insurance company and repurchase insurance for the vehicle.

What to Do When the Parking Brake of the Tiguan Fails?

It is likely caused by liquid entering the electronic parking brake switch, leading to a short circuit. It is also necessary to check if the electronic parking brake fuse has melted and replace it if needed. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Parking Brake: Usually refers to the manual brake installed in motor vehicles, commonly known as the handbrake, used to stabilize the vehicle after it has come to a stop, preventing accidents caused by rolling on inclined surfaces. The common handbrake is typically located at the right hand side of the driver for easy access. 2. When Applying the Parking Brake: Press down on the brake pedal and pull the parking brake lever all the way up. 3. Precautions: For vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, always apply the parking brake first before shifting the gear lever to the "P" (Park) position. When parking on an incline, if you shift to "P" first and then apply the parking brake, the weight of the vehicle may make it difficult to shift out of the "P" (Park) position when preparing to drive.

Can I Renew My Driver's License If One Eye Fails the Physical Exam?

If your driver's license is about to expire and you have lost vision in one eye due to special circumstances, you can still renew your driver's license, but you must pass the physical exam first. However, if you originally held a C1 or higher-level license, you may not pass the physical exam because higher-level licenses have stricter vision requirements. In this case, you can only apply for a license below C1. Additional details are as follows: 1. Vision requirements for driver's licenses: Current regulations on driving conditions for people with disabilities have gradually relaxed. Even if one eye is blind, you can still apply for a driver's license. According to the rules, if you have monocular vision impairment, the other eye must have a naked or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0, and the horizontal field of vision must reach 150 degrees. Under these conditions, you can apply for a license for small cars, small automatic transmission vehicles, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, or small automatic transmission passenger vehicles specially designed for people with disabilities. 2. Color blindness disqualifies applicants: Note that since monocular color blindness is rare and most cases involve binocular color blindness, individuals with color blindness cannot take the driving test.
