Below are the requirements for applying for a driver's license: 1. Height: Applicants for large buses, tractors, city buses, large trucks, or trolleybuses must be at least 155 cm tall. Applicants for medium-sized buses must be at least 150 cm tall; 2. Vision: For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other vehicle types, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 4.9 or above; 3. Color vision: No red-green color blindness; 4. Hearing: Able to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear at a distance of 50 cm from a tuning fork; 5. Upper limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact, with normal limb and finger movement functions; 6. Lower limbs: Normal movement function. For manual transmission vehicles, the lower limb length must not exceed 5 cm. For automatic transmission vehicles, the right lower limb must be intact; 7. Trunk and neck: No movement dysfunction.

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.

What is the difference between a three-cylinder and a four-cylinder engine?

The differences between a three-cylinder and a four-cylinder car are as follows: 1. Balance is different: For a 4-stroke engine, the main difference between a three-cylinder and a four-cylinder engine is the balance. The three-cylinder engine has poorer balance compared to the four-cylinder engine. 2. Ignition intervals differ: The firing order of a three-cylinder engine is generally 1-3-2, with an ignition interval angle of 240 degrees; the firing order of a four-cylinder engine is generally 1-3-4-2, with an ignition interval angle of 180 degrees. 3. Crankshaft balance differs: A three-cylinder engine uses a three-throw crankshaft, which can only achieve static balance without additional balancing measures and cannot achieve dynamic balance. A four-cylinder engine uses a four-throw flat crankshaft, which inherently achieves dynamic balance. 4. A three-cylinder car's engine has only three cylinders, while a four-cylinder car's engine has four cylinders: Generally, a four-cylinder engine runs more smoothly than a three-cylinder engine. 5. Cylinder bore and power performance differ under the same displacement: The cylinder bore of a three-cylinder engine is larger than that of a four-cylinder engine; in terms of power performance, a three-cylinder engine is more powerful than a four-cylinder engine.

What Causes Brake Pulling?

Brake pulling can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Unilateral brake pad wear or hub inner ring wear. 2. Unilateral tire wear, resulting in inconsistent friction on both sides. 3. Frame deformation causing uneven force distribution. 4. Differences in tire pressure, tread patterns, or wear levels between two sides can lead to unequal actual rolling radii, causing the vehicle to pull even without braking. 5. Uneven braking torque on left and right sides of the same axle, leading to unilateral deviation. Common causes include leaking wheel cylinders, rusted pistons, oil-contaminated drum brake shoes, or different surface roughness between brake discs/pads or drums/shoes.

How is car fuel consumption calculated?

Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is equal to fuel consumption (liters) divided by driving distance (kilometers) multiplied by 100. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers indicated in the manuals of domestic cars is generally the constant-speed fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy index when the car is driving at a constant speed on a good road surface. Several key technologies related to fuel consumption include three main aspects: 1. The relationship between vehicle weight and fuel consumption is directly proportional. For every 10% reduction in vehicle weight, fuel consumption will also decrease by several percentage points; 2. Car design—if the aerodynamic drag of the car body is small, fuel consumption will significantly decrease, and the relationship between these two is also directly proportional; 3. Driving conditions are an important factor affecting fuel consumption.

Can Points Be Deducted from a Driver's License During the Probationary Period?

If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points during the probationary period, their driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked. For licenses above C1 (excluding C1), if 6 points are deducted during the probationary period but do not reach 12 points, the probationary period will be automatically extended by 12 months. Below are the new regulations on point deductions: 1. Deduction of 1 point: Failure to carry the vehicle registration certificate or driver's license; vehicle not displaying the annual inspection sticker; violation of regulations regarding the use of lights and hazard lights. 2. Deduction of 2 points: Cutting in line during traffic congestion or occupying the opposite lane; failing to wait in the designated lane at traffic lights; overloading by less than 20%. 3. Deduction of 6 points: Continuing to drive after the driver's license has been temporarily suspended; driving in the emergency lane during traffic congestion; failing to yield to school buses as required (new); having a passenger under 14 years old in the front seat, resulting in a 6-point deduction and a 300 RMB fine (new). 4. Deduction of 12 points: Reversing, driving in the wrong direction, or making U-turns across the central divider on highways; speeding more than 50% over the limit (revised): speeding more than 50% over the limit will now result in a 12-point deduction instead of the previous 6 points; drunk driving; fleeing the scene of an accident without constituting a crime; failing to display, forging, altering, or improperly installing license plates, or intentionally obscuring or damaging license plates (revised): improper installation of license plates will also result in a 12-point penalty.

What Causes Smoke from the Steering Wheel?

Reasons for smoke from the steering wheel are as follows: Incorrect Fuel Mixture: An incorrect mixture of fuel and engine oil, or the use of the wrong grade of engine oil. If the fuel mixture contains too much engine oil or the oil quality is poor, the combustible mixture's oil cannot burn completely, resulting in black smoke. For two-stroke engines with separate lubrication systems, an improperly adjusted oil pump supplying excessive oil can also cause this phenomenon. In such cases, the oil pump should be inspected and adjusted according to specifications to ensure proportional lubrication oil supply at different throttle openings. Excessive Engine Wear: Excessive wear or breakage in a four-stroke engine, as well as excessive oil in the crankcase, can cause oil to enter the combustion chamber, leading to an overly oil-rich mixture. For two-stroke engines, a damaged crankshaft oil seal can allow transmission oil to leak into the crankcase and enter the combustion chamber with the mixture.

What Causes the Car to Fail to Start Immediately After Shutting Down?

Here are the reasons why a car cannot restart after shutting down: 1. Steering wheel lock: When the steering wheel is at a slightly larger angle (e.g., more than 30 degrees), it automatically locks as an anti-theft measure. At this point, the key may not turn, preventing ignition. 2. Dead battery: Failure to start may be due to a drained battery caused by leaving headlights on for an extended period or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. It is generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. 3. No fuel: If the fuel gauge shows below the red line, naturally, the car won't start. Also, pay attention to the quality of the fuel. 4. Adding inferior antifreeze: Using water or inferior antifreeze in the car can cause the entire cooling system to freeze in extremely cold conditions, leading to a frozen and cracked engine. This prevents the car's water pump from functioning, making it impossible to start, and may damage other engine components.
