According to the latest policy requirements, non-local residents in Beijing must meet the following conditions to purchase a car: 1. Proof of residence: Non-local residents must hold either a valid "Beijing Work Residence Permit" or a valid temporary residence permit with continuous social insurance and individual income tax payments in Beijing for the past five years (inclusive). Either one of these documents is required. 2. Driver's license: A valid motor vehicle driver's license issued by the traffic management department of the public security bureau. 3. Other requirements: The individual must not have a passenger car registered in Beijing under their name, nor any motor vehicle that should be scrapped but has not been deregistered. Unlike individual income tax, the requirement for continuous social insurance payments in Beijing over the past five years (inclusive) refers to 60 consecutive months of social insurance payments counted backward from the month before the application month. Late payments for interrupted months are also valid. If you plan to participate in the Beijing license plate lottery but cannot provide a Beijing Work Residence Permit, it is best to ensure that your social insurance and individual income tax payments meet the relevant standards. Those who do not meet the standards should make up the payments as soon as possible.

What to Do If Vehicle Inspection Is Overdue by 10 Days?

If the vehicle inspection is overdue by 10 days, it is necessary to conduct a supplementary inspection as soon as possible. Here is the relevant information about the annual vehicle inspection: 1. Introduction: The annual vehicle inspection refers to a mandatory inspection for every vehicle that has obtained a formal license plate and registration certificate. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle in accordance with the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." 2. Best Time: Vehicles can apply for the annual inspection within 3 months before the inspection date. It is best to schedule the inspection two months or more in advance, rather than waiting until just a few days before the inspection deadline. Additionally, before the 10th of each month, the workload at inspection stations is relatively light, making it an ideal time to avoid queues. The number of vehicles increases from the middle of the month, and the end of the month is the peak period.

Is it normal for a new car's door to be hard to close?

It is normal for a new car's door to be hard to close because the door's sealing rubber strip is still new and has not yet formed any wear marks. Below is the relevant information: 1. Function of the car door: The car door provides a passage for the driver and passengers to enter and exit the vehicle, isolates external interference, and to some extent reduces side impacts, protecting the occupants. The aesthetics of the car are also related to the design of the door. 2. Quality of the car door: This is mainly reflected in: the door's anti-collision performance, sealing performance, ease of opening and closing, and of course, other functional indicators. Anti-collision performance is particularly important because, during a side impact, the buffer distance is very short, making it easy for passengers inside the car to be injured.

What are the reasons for the Honda XRV not starting and the dashboard flashing?

There are generally two common reasons for this situation: 1. Insufficient battery power: Modern car engines are electronically controlled fuel injection systems, operated by the engine control unit (ECU), which itself consumes power. When the key is turned, the main relay engages to supply power to the ECU, which then begins operation. 2. Poor electrical connection: The principle is similar to the above. The starter motor requires a large instantaneous current, and areas with poor connections may break the circuit when subjected to high current, causing the relay to disengage. When the key is released, the current decreases, and the poor connection may restore power. A common issue is severe corrosion at the battery terminals, leading to insufficient effective contact area at the connections. This can usually be resolved by removing and cleaning the terminals.
