Driving a vehicle without annual inspection will result in 3 demerit points and a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Below is relevant information about vehicle annual inspection: 1. Annual inspection rules: According to Article 16 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law", effective from July 1, 2018, motor vehicles must undergo safety technical inspections within the following periods from the date of registration: passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected annually within the first 5 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 5 years, etc. 2. Rules for vehicle annual inspection labels: Starting from June 20, 2020, the electronic service for motor vehicle inspection labels has been implemented nationwide. Electronic certificates for motor vehicle inspection labels are issued through the unified national internet platform for traffic safety comprehensive services.

Last time I heard from a friend that he was stopped by traffic police for driving a car without an annual inspection. He was issued an on-the-spot fine of 200 yuan and had 1 point deducted from his driver's license, which was both funny and frustrating. I've kept this in mind because driving without an inspection is a violation that can easily lead to problems, such as non-functioning lights or brake failure. In case of hitting a pedestrian or an accident, the responsibility falls entirely on you, and insurance might even refuse to pay. I recommend setting a reminder on your calendar and spending half a day at the inspection station to get the annual inspection done. This not only avoids fines but also ensures safety. Actually, vehicle checks are routine—don’t take chances. Handling it early is the most hassle-free approach, far better than scrambling at the last minute.

Dude, if you drive a car without annual inspection on the road and the police catch you, you'll definitely be fined 200 bucks and have 1 point deducted from your license. My neighbor got busted once and kept complaining about it. It's not just about the money—poor vehicle condition can easily lead to accidents, like skidding in the rain, and you'll bear greater responsibility if someone gets hurt. I heard in some places it even affects the inspection cycle, making the re-inspection process more troublesome. Now I set an alarm on my phone to remind me when the inspection is due—don’t slack off and delay it. A quick inspection takes just two hours, and driving safely gives you peace of mind. Why take the risk?

What is the Principle of Car Fingerprint Lock?

The principle of car fingerprint lock: A device that uses the biometric feature of fingerprints to control the activation and deactivation of a car's anti-theft system. It controls the car's onboard computer, door locks, engine power supply and ignition system, fuel and power supply lines, electronically controlled transmission lock, electronically controlled engine hood lock, electronically controlled trunk lock, and electronically controlled glove box lock. Unauthorized individuals cannot decrypt or simulate these controls, thereby ensuring effective management of the vehicle. It is a high-tech product for both management and anti-theft purposes. Due to the uniqueness of human fingerprints, it can quickly and clearly implement a real-person system, which is fundamentally different from the current real-name system. By distinguishing different fingerprints, it can achieve vehicle management that avoids lending cars based on personal relationships and prevents improper operation by children, among other significant benefits.

What are the signs of a well-functioning engine?

Signs of a well-functioning engine are as follows: 1. Power per liter: Engine performance indicators based on crankshaft output power are called effective indicators, which reflect the overall performance level of the engine. Effective indicators include effective power, effective torque, power per liter, etc. The two indicators of power and torque can reflect the quality of the engine. 2. Fuel economy: Automotive fuel economy is an important performance characteristic. Fuel consumption refers to the volume of fuel required per unit distance traveled when the vehicle is fully loaded. Both China and Europe use the amount of fuel consumed per 100 kilometers (L) to represent this. 3. Smoothness: This refers to the level of vibration during engine operation. This characteristic directly affects the comfort of the vehicle and reflects the mechanical quality of the engine. 4. Durability: Indicates the quality of the engine.

Will spilled antifreeze dry naturally?

Antifreeze is primarily composed of ethylene glycol and water. Since the boiling point of ethylene glycol is close to 200°C under normal temperature conditions, its evaporation rate is relatively slow. It may take several days to completely dry when placed in a warm environment with direct sunlight. Additional information: Functions of antifreeze: 1. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the vehicle's cooling system when parked in cold winter conditions, while in summer it prevents "boiling over". 2. During operation, automobile engines generate substantial heat as fuel converts from chemical energy to mechanical energy. Gasoline engines have an efficiency of about 30%, with the remaining energy being converted into heat.
