Do I need to cancel ETC if it has been registered but never used?

Binding an ETC but not using it requires cancellation. The relevant information for canceling ETC is as follows: Documents required for ETC cancellation: Bring five items: the vehicle license, driver's license, the bank card bound to the ETC, the ETC pass card, and ID card, then apply for cancellation at the corresponding bank or ETC management department. ETC cancellation time: If the old owner is from the same province, canceling the ETC can be completed in about a week. If the ETC was processed in another province, since ETC data is independent across provinces, the local institution will need to contact the relevant authorities in the other province, making the process more time-consuming, with a processing time of around 45 days. If the new owner and the old owner have ETC accounts with the same bank, the bank also has the right to cancel the old owner's information. Different banks cannot view or modify user data between each other.

How to Drift an Automatic Transmission Car?

There are two methods for drifting: one is gear drifting, and the other is handbrake drifting. As long as you have a handbrake, you can perform drifting. Of course, a manual-automatic transmission can also achieve gear drifting. Therefore, automatic transmission cars can also perform drifting. How drifting is generated: The condition for drifting ultimately boils down to one thing—when the rotational torque generated by the lateral force of the rear wheels at the center of mass is less than the rotational torque generated by the lateral force of the front wheels at the center of mass, the rear of the vehicle will slide outward, thus creating a drift. The phenomenon of changing the relative static friction of the rear wheels into sliding friction is what we call drifting (from a professional perspective, drifting occurs when the rear wheels of the vehicle exceed the maximum slip angle and begin to slide). Precise control over the center of mass, the sliding and static friction angles and distances of the front and rear wheels, and their relative functional relationships can turn this drifting process into a controllable one.

What Are the Causes of Car Brake Failure?

There are several reasons that can cause car brake failure, including lack of necessary maintenance of the braking system, severe overloading, and improper operation leading to mechanical failure. Lack of necessary maintenance of the braking system: too many impurities in the brake master cylinder, poor sealing, failure of the vacuum booster pump, excessively dirty brake fluid or mixing different types of brake fluid causing air resistance when heated, leakage in the brake master cylinder or wheel cylinders, or air leakage in the air reservoir or pipe connections. Severe overloading: under the effect of gravitational acceleration, the vehicle's motion inertia increases, directly leading to brake failure. Improper operation leading to mechanical failure: for example, prolonged downhill driving can cause the brake pads to generate heat through friction, carbonization of the brake drum, and complete failure of the braking function. Correct measures to take after car brake failure: promptly identify the issue and decelerate to stop, avoiding continued high-speed driving; use the handbrake appropriately to control the vehicle, avoiding pulling it all the way or too quickly. Shift to a lower gear appropriately to control the speed.

Are Vehicles Exempt from Inspection Within Six Years?

Vehicles within 6 years of registration are exempt from inspection. Exempt vehicles generally refer to those registered for no more than six years and are non-commercial small vehicles with 6 seats or fewer. These vehicles require inspection every two years. Vehicles registered for more than 6 years require annual inspection. Below is relevant information about vehicle annual inspections: Vehicle Annual Inspection Schedule: For passenger cars and blue-plate minivans, within the first six years after registration, inspections are required every two years; after six years, inspections are required annually; after ten years, inspections are required annually; after fifteen years, inspections are required twice a year. For trucks, inspections are required annually after registration, and after ten years, inspections are required twice a year. Vehicle Annual Inspection Regulations: If a vehicle is found by traffic police to have not undergone annual inspection, the owner may be fined or the vehicle may be impounded. Additionally, in insurance contracts, vehicles that have not undergone timely annual inspections are considered unqualified, and no claims will be paid in the event of an accident.

Is Overtaking on the Right Side Allowed?

China's traffic laws explicitly state that "overtaking on the right side" is a traffic violation and strictly prohibited. In mainland China, traffic generally keeps to the right, leaving the left side as the usual space for overtaking. Overtaking on the right can easily lead to collisions with pedestrians and is highly unsafe. Below are relevant details about overtaking: Definition of Overtaking: Overtaking refers to the process where a following vehicle changes lanes to the rear side of the vehicle ahead, passes it, and then returns to the original lane. The lane typically used for overtaking is the inner lane, which is closer to the center of the road and farther from the shoulder. Dangers of Improper Overtaking: In regions where traffic keeps to the left, the overtaking lane is the right lane. According to regulations: drivers who overtake on the right side will be penalized with 3 demerit points and a fine of up to 200 RMB. The right side is the blind spot for left-hand drive vehicles, severely limiting visibility. Vehicles being overtaken may not notice the violating vehicle on the right, increasing the risk of collision when changing lanes to the right.
