Go to the designated hospital's physical examination center for a check-up. After the examination, the hospital will immediately upload and submit the proof to the traffic management system and provide a paper copy of the physical examination certificate. Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, click on the 'Renew Expired Driver's License' option on the homepage to enter the renewal application process, and agree to the notice. Choose the method of receiving the new driver's license: mail or self-pickup. Generally, if you choose mail, you will need to pay for postage, which is usually on delivery. If you choose self-pickup, the pickup address will be provided. After confirming the pickup method, proceed to the submission interface. A verification code will be sent to your mobile phone at this time. Verify the information again and submit if everything is correct.

As a tech-savvy young person who handles most affairs online, I completed my entire driver's license renewal process through the 12123 Traffic Management APP. First, download and install the official app on your phone, then register an account with real-name authentication by entering ID card information and binding your mobile number. After logging in, tap 'Driver's License Services' and select 'License Renewal Upon Expiration'. Upload front/back photos of your ID card and a 1-inch white-background digital photo (specs: 32mm wide × 24mm tall, pure white background with face centered). Pay the 20 RMB processing fee plus 10 RMB delivery charge. Approval is lightning-fast, usually completed within one day, with the new license delivered in 3-5 days on average. The whole process saves tremendous time – no need to visit the DMV or queue up, just get it done from your couch. Pro tip: Prepare the digital photo in advance (store it on your phone) or have it taken professionally to avoid rework. I've also found the app's progress tracking feature and SMS notifications super convenient – having renewed twice this way, both experiences went smoothly.

Can I still drive if the oil doesn't show on the dipstick but there's no warning light?

It is recommended not to continue driving if the oil doesn't show on the dipstick but there's no warning light. If the dipstick shows no oil at all, it indicates insufficient oil. The situation where the oil doesn't show on the dipstick but there's no warning light could be due to a faulty level sensor or the engine not having a level sensor at all. If the level sensor is malfunctioning, it should be repaired as soon as possible. Driving with insufficient oil can lead to poor lubrication of the friction surfaces between engine components, increasing wear and tear. Additionally, oil plays a crucial role in cooling and heat dissipation. Insufficient oil weakens the engine's cooling capacity, causing internal overheating, which can further result in bearing seizure, cylinder scoring, and other issues. Symptoms such as reduced vehicle power and excessive oil consumption may be noticeable during driving.

Which cars require 98 octane gasoline?

Cars that must use 98 octane gasoline: 1. Vehicles with a compression ratio of 10 or higher; 2. European luxury cars with sophisticated engines and complex electronic systems, as well as high-performance sports cars; 3. Vehicles with fuel tank caps labeled "Please use 95 octane or higher gasoline." Unless your car meets these conditions, it is not recommended to use 98 octane gasoline. 98 octane gasoline is a high-quality fuel under China's National V standard. When filling up for the first time, owners do not need to drain the remaining fuel in the tank or clean the tank. It is recommended to consume as much of the existing gasoline as possible before the first refill of 98 octane gasoline, avoiding too much residual fuel. After the second or third refill with 98 octane gasoline, the vehicle will complete a "natural upgrade."

What happens if you accidentally add 92 octane fuel when you usually use 95 octane?

If you accidentally add 92 octane fuel when you usually use 95 octane, there will be no major impact. Mixing different grades and types of gasoline will not cause obvious problems in the short term. Carbon deposits and fuel line blockages are caused by long-term mixed use. In such cases, there is no need to worry excessively or perform special maintenance. Simply refuel with the appropriate grade of gasoline as required by your vehicle when conditions permit. Some car owners believe that using higher-octane fuel can improve performance, but this is unnecessary. If the engine's compression ratio does not meet the standard, even the best fuel will not make a difference. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from petroleum through distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis, and is used as fuel. It appears as a transparent, flammable liquid with a distillation range of 30 to 220 degrees Celsius, primarily composed of C5 and C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons, cycloalkanes, and a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons.

Can Out-of-Town Vehicles Enter Beijing During the National Day Holiday?

During the National Day holiday, out-of-town vehicles are allowed to enter Beijing. According to regulations, non-Beijing passenger vehicles are not subject to the traffic management restrictions that prohibit driving on roads within the Fifth Ring Road (inclusive) between 7:00-9:00 and 17:00-20:00, nor are they subject to the traffic management measures that restrict driving based on license plate tail numbers between 9:00-17:00. For out-of-town motor vehicles that need to drive on roads within the Fifth Ring Road (inclusive) of Beijing, drivers must present their driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, inspection certificate, compulsory traffic insurance certificate, and environmental protection label. Additionally, the vehicle's exhaust must pass an on-site inspection by the environmental protection department to obtain an entry permit. The validity periods of entry permits for out-of-town passenger vehicles and trucks are 7 days and 3 days, respectively.

Can the Verano be started remotely?

Verano can be started remotely. The relevant introduction to remote start is as follows: Remote start method: Press and release the lock button, then immediately hold the engine start button for about 4 seconds to remotely start the engine using the remote door lock transmitter from outside the vehicle. In addition, the Verano car key can also remotely lock, unlock doors, start remotely, and cancel remote start. Precautions for using remote start: When using it, note that the preheating should not exceed the manufacturer's limit of ten minutes, and the number of times should not exceed two. Because the engine warms up much slower when idling in place than during normal driving, and the three-way catalytic converter also takes a long time to reach the working temperature of over 350 degrees. At this time, the exhaust gas produced by incomplete combustion in the engine will place a great burden on the catalytic converter, and long-term use may damage the three-way catalytic converter.

Can You Make a U-Turn on a Left-Turn Green Light?

Whether you can make a U-turn on a left-turn green light depends on the situation: 1. Vehicles are prohibited from making a U-turn at locations with signs or markings indicating 'No U-Turn' or 'No Left Turn'; 2. At locations without 'No U-Turn' or 'No Left Turn' signs or markings, a U-turn is allowed, but it must not interfere with the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. Here are the key points to note when making a U-turn: 1. Intersections with U-turn signals: Follow the instructions of the signal lights and ground markings, usually in the leftmost lane; 2. Intersections without U-turn signals but with left-turn signals: As long as there is no 'No U-Turn' sign or a dedicated U-turn signal, vehicles can make a U-turn at any time, provided it does not affect normal traffic flow and is safe; 3. Yellow grid areas: These indicate no stopping. If the light ahead is red, vehicles behind should avoid this area, but U-turns are permitted here; 4. Crosswalk areas: Although these areas generally do not have 'No U-Turn' signs, they are equivalent to pedestrian walkways and U-turns are not allowed.
