The new regulations for 7-seater vehicle annual inspections in 2021 mainly involve an expansion of the exemption period and changes in inspection items. Expansion of the exemption period: Starting from November 20, 2020, non-operational minibuses (excluding vans) with 7-9 seats within 6 years of use are included in the exemption range; inspections for vehicles aged 6-10 years are changed from once a year to once every 2 years; inspections for vehicles aged 10-15 years remain unchanged, once a year; for vehicles over 15 years old, inspections are required every six months. By expanding the scope and duration of motor vehicle inspection exemptions, the number of annual inspections for vehicle owners can be further reduced, with the biggest beneficiaries being owners of 7-seater SUVs and MPVs. Changes in inspection items: Starting from 2021, motor vehicle annual inspections will eliminate tests for speed, speedometer error, suspension, headlight deviation, electronic parking brake, and interior noise, while adding inspections for vehicle lifting, wheelbase, and tread depth. The lifting inspection allows for a more thorough examination of the vehicle's chassis, as there are few opportunities to notice the chassis during normal driving, and even during maintenance, only a rough observation of whether the chassis is bumpy or rusty is possible, with no detailed inspection of areas like the suspension. Professional inspections can help vehicle owners reduce driving safety hazards, and the same applies to tire tread depth inspections.

What Are the Consequences of Insufficient Car Antifreeze?

The consequences of insufficient car antifreeze include triggering an engine overheating alarm in summer, and in severe cases, causing cylinder scuffing. In cold climates, it may lead to the freezing and cracking of the engine or radiator, resulting in engine failure. It also affects the radiator's cooling efficiency, failing to achieve the necessary cooling effect. Poor circulation can generate high temperatures, and in severe cases, may cause engine burn-out. Methods to determine if antifreeze is insufficient: Observe the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to insufficient antifreeze, though it could also be caused by excessively high cylinder temperatures. Check the antifreeze reservoir. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving; promptly add antifreeze. Inspect the water level scale markings on the antifreeze bottle. The antifreeze level should normally be between the maximum and minimum marks. To check if antifreeze is insufficient, observe the scale. If the antifreeze is below the minimum mark, it indicates a shortage. Functions of antifreeze: Antifreeze is a coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and resisting scale and corrosion year-round.

What Does Upgrading to C1 Mean?

Upgrading to C1 refers to the process where holders of original driving licenses such as C2, C3, C4, D, E, or F apply to upgrade their qualification to a C1 driving license. C1 Driving License Test: Test Subjects: The test subjects include four items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving common sense. Passing Standards: Traffic Regulations and Related Knowledge (Subject 1) - Written test, full score is 100, passing score is 90 or above. Field Driving (Subject 2) - On-site, actual vehicle. The minimum passing score is 80, below which is considered a fail. Road Driving (Subject 3) - Highway or simulated field, actual vehicle. Full score is 100, must achieve 90 or above to pass. Safe and Civilized Driving Common Sense - Written test, questions mainly in the form of cases, pictures, animations, etc., including true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions, totaling 50 questions. Full score is 100, passing score is 90.

Will I get points deducted for running a yellow light at an intersection?

When the yellow light is flashing at an intersection, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. If the yellow light is already on and you still rush through, it constitutes a traffic violation, resulting in a 6-point deduction. Below are specific details about traffic signals: 1. Green light: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not impede the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. 2. Yellow light: When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. 3. Red light: When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without separate non-motorized vehicle or pedestrian signals, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians should follow the indications of the motor vehicle traffic signal. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed provided they do not impede the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians that have been given the right of way.

How to Learn to Drive a Motor Vehicle?

Inspect the vehicle before getting in. Walk around the vehicle once before entering to check the exterior, tires, and undercarriage for any oil or water leaks. You must open the hood once a week to inspect engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid. Ignition steps. Pull the handbrake tight (to prevent slipping), press the clutch pedal all the way down, shift into neutral, do not press the accelerator (throttle pedal), turn the key to the second position and hold for 6 seconds to allow the car's electronic system to power up and self-check (you can fasten your seatbelt at this time), then continue turning the key to the third position to ignite. Gently press the accelerator when igniting. Warm up the car before driving. EFI vehicles hardly need warming up. Warming up here refers to starting the lubrication system. If the car has been parked for more than 3 hours, after igniting the engine, let it idle for more than 10 seconds until the tachometer drops to around 1000 rpm, then start driving. In extremely cold weather in the north, the idle warm-up time should be appropriately extended. Start in first gear. Vehicle transmission design emphasizes speed. Starting in second gear not only increases the engine load but also causes premature clutch wear. Therefore, regardless of the engine displacement, the car should always start in first gear.

How often do commercial vehicles require annual inspections?

For passenger-carrying commercial vehicles, annual inspections are required once every year for the first 5 years, and then every 6 months starting from the 6th year. Annual inspection procedure: First, after submitting the inspection application, the vehicle undergoes an on-site inspection. The vehicle is driven into the automatic inspection area where various tests are conducted sequentially, including exhaust emissions, speed, lighting, side slip, and chassis to ensure compliance with standards. Only when all items pass can the vehicle proceed. Next is the appearance inspection, verifying the accuracy of the vehicle's license plate, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number. Then, the body appearance is examined, checking details such as the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, paint condition, engine operation status, and the interior of the passenger compartment and wheels. Finally, the owner can obtain the inspection report and application form from the inspector. If all items pass, the owner can proceed to pay the inspection fee and collect the vehicle registration certificate and compliance label. If any items fail, the owner must repair the vehicle and undergo a re-inspection until all items pass before proceeding with the visa formalities. Annual inspection considerations: During the annual inspection, the vehicle management office will check the vehicle's lighting. If the lighting is found to be too dim or too bright, it will be deemed unqualified and fail the inspection. If the lighting is too dim, check the lighting circuit and bulbs for aging, replacing relevant parts if necessary. If xenon headlights have been installed, it is recommended to revert to the original headlights before the inspection to pass the test.
