I remember checking the requirements last year when I took the driver's license test. To apply for a Class C license, you must be at least 18 years old but not over 70. The most important physical condition is vision - your naked or corrected vision in both eyes must be above 4.9, and you can't be red-green colorblind. You need to go to a medical examination site to test hearing and color discrimination. My neighbor's uncle got stuck because of insufficient hearing. When registering, you must bring your ID card and medical examination form to the vehicle management office. I heard that non-local residents need to apply for a residence permit in advance, which takes quite some time. Most importantly, you must not have any record of drunk driving or drug use, otherwise you'll be directly disqualified from applying. There was a guy in my driving school batch who got rejected because of this.

The requirements for obtaining a driver's license can be divided into three hard criteria: Age-wise, you must be at least 18 years old for a car license, and 22 years old for a large passenger vehicle. Health-wise, when I accompanied my friend for the medical check-up, I found that finger disabilities or epilepsy are disqualifying. The qualification requirements are crucial; you must bring your original ID card, and non-local applicants must have resided locally for at least three months. During registration, you'll need to take photos and record fingerprints, and make sure you don't have a revoked license. The fees aren't expensive, but retakes can be quite troublesome. Remember to choose a legitimate driving school—my cousin encountered a shady one that overcharged.

The basic requirements for obtaining a driver's license are as follows: First, check if you meet the age requirement, with 18 being the minimum age for a car license. A medical examination is mandatory, especially the vision test must be up to standard. Bring your ID card; locals can register directly, while non-locals need a residence certificate. Don't be foolish enough to register after drinking alcohol, and if you have a history of drug use, you're automatically disqualified. Remember to wear dark-colored clothes for the photo when registering, and those with myopia must wear glasses for the vision test. Practicing for the theory test is crucial, and before the practical test, the instructor will check if your height and weight are suitable for the driver's seat.

What does 'Check Exhaust System' mean?

Check Exhaust System refers to a malfunction in the emission system, which may trigger an alarm signal due to a dirty three-way catalytic converter or oxygen sensor; it could also be caused by poor gas combustion leading to system alerts. Alarm signal caused by dirty three-way catalytic converter and oxygen sensor: A car's exhaust pipe consists of three sections: the front pipe (header), mid-pipe, and tailpipe. The three-way catalytic converter is located in the front pipe, which is also known as the exhaust manifold. In most cars, the exhaust manifold can be seen by opening the engine hood. The three-way catalytic converter may fail after prolonged use, and if it fails, it could cause the engine warning light to illuminate. The role of the oxygen sensor in the exhaust system: Most cars have two oxygen sensors—one located behind the exhaust manifold and another behind the three-way catalytic converter. The oxygen sensor detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gases and relays this signal back to the ECU.

What Causes a Motorcycle to Burn Out Spark Plugs?

The reasons for a motorcycle burning out spark plugs include: excessively rich fuel-air mixture, engine oil leakage causing the spark plug to become wet and unable to spark, and mismatch between the spark plug model and heat value. Detailed explanations are as follows: 1. Burning oil. Vehicles that burn oil are very prone to burning out spark plugs. After stopping and restarting, the vehicle may fail to start. The center electrode of the spark plug cannot concentrate the spark, and the spark plug is wet, causing the spark to disperse around instead of igniting the fuel, making it impossible to start the vehicle. The symptom is that the tip of the spark plug often has oil and appears black with carbon deposits. It is necessary to check the piston rings and valve oil seals. 2. Clogged air filter. A clogged air filter leads to an overly rich mixture, which not only makes it difficult to accelerate but also easily burns out spark plugs. The air filter can be cleaned or replaced. 3. Dirty carburetor. A dirty carburetor causing an overly rich mixture can also lead to burning out spark plugs. The carburetor can be cleaned or replaced. 4. Ignition system failure. A faulty electronic ignition system is also one of the common causes of spark plug burnout.
