Here are the signs that coolant needs to be replaced: 1. Seeing impurities or flocculent substances in the coolant reservoir. 2. If the freezing point of the coolant is insufficient when tested with a freezing point tester, you should consider replacing the coolant. Here is some relevant information about coolant: 1. Coolant, also known as antifreeze, is an essential part of a vehicle's cooling system. 2. Many vehicle manuals no longer specify a coolant replacement interval, often stating 'inspect regularly and replace as needed,' or 'this vehicle uses long-life coolant and does not require replacement for 10 years or 200,000 kilometers.' 3. Some original coolant bottles indicate on the back that the coolant should be diluted with purified water in a specific ratio before use.

Can Vehicle Annual Inspection Be Conducted in Another Location?

Vehicle annual inspection regulations are divided into two parts: exemption scope and inspection cycle. Below are the specific details of the vehicle annual inspection regulations: Exemption Scope: The exemption scope for motor vehicles has been expanded from non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with 6 seats or fewer within 6 years to those with 7-9 seats. This means that after November 20th, non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats that are less than 6 years old can enjoy the exemption policy. Inspection Cycle: Exempt vehicles can skip on-site inspections for the first 6 years, only requiring formalities every two years. From 6 to 10 years, an annual inspection is required. The new regulations indicate that the inspection cycle for private vehicles remains unchanged for the first 6 years, while vehicles aged 6-10 years will change from an annual inspection to a biennial inspection. This means exempt vehicles will have a biennial inspection within 10 years, but only the 6th and 8th years require on-site inspections.

How long does it take to upload the subject 3 test results?

Generally, the test results can be queried within a few hours after the examinee finishes the test, but most people's results usually take until the next day to be available. Here are some important notes for Subject 3: 1. Lane change: When the examinee hears "Please change lanes," they should turn on the turn signal and wait for 3 seconds before turning the steering wheel. If the driver is on a single-lane road, lane change is not allowed at this time. 2. Straight-line driving: Once straight-line driving begins, the steering wheel should not be turned randomly, and the solid lane line must not be crossed. The examinee should focus their vision on the distance ahead and make slight adjustments to the steering wheel to maintain straight-line driving, rather than keeping the steering wheel completely fixed. 3. Slow down: When passing through crosswalks, school zones, bus stops, or straight intersections, the examinee should lightly press the brake pedal to slow down.

What are the consequences of selling driver's license points?

The consequences of buying or selling driver's license points are as follows: 1. Information leakage: Both buying and selling points will lead to the disclosure of personal information. If a driver seeks to buy points from a "point broker," they must provide their vehicle information. During this process, the broker may resell this information to criminals. The buyer may not only face phone harassment but also risk having their information used to forge license plates for other vehicles, leading to illegal activities such as license plate cloning. For the seller, handing over their driver's license to a broker for point deduction directly exposes their personal information. 2. Illegal activity: Buying and selling points is illegal. Traffic police authorities state that if caught, all parties involved—the broker, intermediary, buyer, and seller—violate Article 52 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law. Penalties include detention for 10 to 15 days and possible fines; for minor offenses, detention for 5 to 10 days and possible fines. Even helping acquaintances or friends by deducting points without monetary exchange is illegal and subject to penalties.

Does a smashed front face count as a major accident?

Whether a smashed front face counts as a major accident requires further inspection. The main checks include whether the vehicle's structural integrity is compromised, such as whether the engine compartment has suffered structural deformation from the impact, or whether the left and right longitudinal beams and front shock absorber suspensions have been damaged or deformed. If structural components are damaged, the vehicle can be classified as a major accident car. If only decorative or covering parts like the front bumper, fenders, or headlights are damaged, it can be classified as a minor accident. The vehicle is considered an accident car if it meets any of the following criteria: 1. The vehicle has suffered impact damage to the engine compartment or passenger compartment. 2. The rear fender has been damaged by impact exceeding one-third of its area. 3. The longitudinal beams have undergone welding, cutting, reshaping, or deformation. 4. The shock absorber mounts have undergone welding, cutting, reshaping, or deformation. 5. The A, B, or C pillars have undergone welding, cutting, reshaping, or deformation. 6. The vehicle's airbags have deployed due to impact. 7. Other non-removable parts have undergone significant welding, cutting, reshaping, or deformation. 8. The vehicle body has been submerged in water exceeding half of its height, or water has entered the passenger compartment. 9. The vehicle body has been burned over an area exceeding 0.5 square meters, and safety hazards remain after repair.

Why does a novice driver's car tend to drift off course?

For new drivers who have just obtained their licenses, drifting off course while driving is an extremely common issue. The root cause is insufficient driving experience, inadequate control over the vehicle, and the lack of a well-developed sense of the car. Here are some additional tips for novice drivers: 1. Adjust your seating position: Ensure a correct seating posture where your wrists can comfortably rest on the top of the steering wheel, and your right foot should have a slight bend when fully pressing the brake pedal. 2. Look ahead: While driving, try to look as far ahead as possible instead of just focusing on the tail of the car in front. 3. Get the right feel: When driving, look at the road and imagine yourself sitting in the middle of the road, which helps in keeping the car centered in the lane.
