The sixth-year vehicle inspection must be conducted at a testing station. Below are the relevant details for the inspection. You need to drive the vehicle and bring your ID card, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle and vessel tax or tax exemption certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance policy to the testing station for vehicle inspection. After applying for the annual inspection, drive the vehicle into the automatic detection area to sequentially check exhaust emissions, speed, lighting, side slip, and chassis to ensure they meet the requirements. Verify the accuracy of the vehicle license plate, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number. Inspect the vehicle's exterior: check details such as the bumper, engine hood, rearview mirror, lower rearview mirror, car windows, paint, engine operation status, interior, and wheels.

I just took my family car for its annual inspection, which has now reached the 6-year mark. According to the new regulations, private cars are exempt from on-site inspections for the first 6 years, only requiring an online application for an inspection sticker every 2 years. However, after 6 years, an on-site inspection becomes mandatory, and the exemption no longer applies. This process must be done at a local inspection station, where they check items like lights, brakes, emission systems, seat belts, and safety devices. It usually takes about 30-60 minutes and costs 200-300 RMB, depending on the location. If the car fails the inspection—for example, due to worn brakes or excessive emissions—it must be repaired and re-inspected. It's recommended to book an appointment in advance and bring your vehicle registration and ID card to avoid long queues. Remember, this is about road safety, so don’t procrastinate or skip it.

What are Engine Braking and Service Braking?

Engine braking involves flexibly using the parking brake to minimize the use of foot braking. Below are the functions and principles of engine braking: Functions of Engine Braking: Engine braking refers to lifting the throttle pedal without depressing the clutch, utilizing the compression resistance generated by the engine's compression stroke, internal friction, and intake/exhaust resistance to create a braking effect on the drive wheels. Principles of Engine Braking: Engine braking means keeping the vehicle in gear without applying the throttle, so the engine does not provide traction. Instead, the rotation of the wheels drives the transmission system, and the idling engine generates a counteracting resistance on the vehicle. Higher gears result in less engine resistance, while lower gears produce more. This differs from clutch braking, brake braking, and parking braking.

Can people with color weakness pass the driver's license physical examination?

People with color weakness can pass the driver's license physical examination. Here are some precautions for the color weakness test during the driver's license physical examination: 1. Conduct the examination under sufficient lighting: The more adequate the lighting during the examination, the more saturated the colors will be, making it easier for individuals with color weakness to identify colors. 2. Wear color weakness correction glasses: Whether it's color weakness or myopia, wearing glasses is allowed during the driver's license physical examination. Therefore, individuals with color weakness can purchase correction glasses from professional stores, which can enhance their perception of color contrast. 3. Inform the staff about the condition: After being informed, medical staff will arrange a different color blindness test, which can increase the chances of passing for individuals with color weakness.

Are Aftermarket Three-Way Catalytic Converters Effective?

Replacing with a quality-qualified aftermarket three-way catalytic converter is effective. Recommendation to replace at authorized locations: Without professional knowledge, it's advisable to choose an authorized 4S dealership to replace with an original three-way catalytic converter. The quality of the three-way catalytic converter directly affects whether the vehicle can pass the annual inspection. Generally, the original three-way catalytic converter has better compatibility than aftermarket ones, thus effectively catalyzing harmful substances in the exhaust. Avoid using inferior products: Using a substandard three-way catalytic converter not only causes excessive emissions but also increases the vehicle's exhaust pressure, adversely affecting the engine's power output.
