Phone number display device and dash cam. Cars require certain items to be placed inside, not only to decorate the vehicle but also to be highly useful in critical moments. Of course, for some novice drivers, the choices can be quite confusing, and they may not know which items are practical. Phone number display device: It's important to note that parking spaces are becoming increasingly scarce. Faced with this serious issue, many car owners park their vehicles on the roadside, making a phone number display device essential at such times. Dash cam: A dash cam can help car owners continuously and completely record sounds inside the vehicle. Don't underestimate its importance. In cases of malicious fraud or traffic accidents, the dash cam proves to be invaluable.

I believe there are essential safety items that should never be missing in a car. For instance, a warning triangle is crucial—placing it dozens of meters behind your car when parked roadside can alert approaching vehicles and prevent secondary accidents. A reflective vest is also indispensable, especially for nighttime repairs, as it makes you highly visible under light for added safety. A first-aid kit should always be stocked with bandages, antiseptic cotton, and a tourniquet to handle minor injuries or accidents without panic. A spare tire and jack are core necessities, allowing you to quickly change a flat tire yourself instead of regretting it during an emergency. Never overlook a fire extinguisher—engine overheating in summer increases fire risks, making a compact car version highly practical. I also recommend carrying bottled water and a blanket for long trips, which may involve water shortages or cold temperatures. Regularly inspect these items, as safety is the baseline of driving. Don’t follow those who only bring a charger when heading out—being unprepared leaves you helpless in emergencies.

There are quite a few must-haves for daily driving with kids. The child safety seat is the top priority, ensuring the little one's safety and compliance with the law. I always keep extra fever reducers and band-aids in the first aid kit—kids tend to fall while running and jumping. A snack box with some dried fruits and bread helps curb hunger and prevents crankiness on the road. Wet wipes and spare diapers are essentials for families with infants, avoiding mid-trip hassles. A reflective vest is easy to carry and makes kids more visible to cars when it gets dark. Keep a water bottle handy to stay hydrated during traffic jams. Check the spare tire's pressure—learning to change a tire isn’t hard. Tuck a small blanket in a corner just in case the heater fails in winter. These little details make family trips worry-free, saving a lot of trouble.

Can You Take the Subject Two Test Without Passing Subject One?

Normally, you cannot practice for Subject Two without passing Subject One. The prerequisite for learning Subject Two is passing the Subject One exam and obtaining a driving study certificate. This certificate serves as a practical training permit, allowing you to begin hands-on driving practice. Additionally, this certificate is valid for three years, during which you must complete all other subjects except Subject One; otherwise, you'll have to start over. Generally, driving schools will have students practice basic skills before moving on to Subject Two, such as operating the clutch, steering, and shifting gears. Once these fundamentals are mastered, students may practice moving forward and backward to grasp the concept of half-clutch control. The key to Subject Two is controlling the vehicle speed with the clutch, with little to no use of the accelerator. After mastering clutch control, students begin practicing the actual Subject Two test items. For C1 and C2 driver's licenses, you must wait at least ten days after obtaining the driving study certificate before you can schedule the Subject Two test. The vehicle management office will issue the driving study certificate within one day after passing Subject One. Therefore, it takes at least ten days after passing Subject One to meet the conditions for scheduling Subject Two. For first-time applicants or those applying to upgrade to large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, or large trucks, they must wait at least twenty days after obtaining the driving study certificate before scheduling the test.

How Many Years Can a Car Be Driven Before It Can Be Scrapped?

For domestic 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, there is no usage period limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Commercial vehicles have a scrapping period, as follows: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out one copy of the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, Scrapping Approval Application Form" and stamp the owner's seal. The registration office accepts the application and issues a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period, the motor vehicle inspection office will determine if they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" if they do. The owner chooses a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company dismantles the vehicle and takes photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner submits the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the motor vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates are then recycled, and the scrapping registration is processed according to regulations. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to non-commercial use, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping period. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of motor vehicle registration, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased vehicle. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

Does Tire Patching Affect Driving on Highways?

Tire patching still allows for highway driving. Here is some information about driving on highways with patched tires: Conditions: Tires repaired at authorized 4S stores can continue to be used. However, due to the quality of the repair or aging of the patch over time, air leakage may occur. If you continue to drive at high speeds without realizing this, prolonged driving with low tire pressure could cause sidewall damage, leading to tire failure. Therefore, patched tires carry certain safety risks compared to intact tires. Recommendations: For the sake of highway driving safety, it is generally advised to move patched tires to the rear wheels or use them as spare tires. This helps minimize the potential adverse effects of compromised tire performance on highway safety.
