For regular driver's license inspection, the holder must personally bring their ID card to the vehicle management department to complete the procedure, while filling out the regular inspection form and submitting the driver's license for inspection. Extended information about driver's licenses is as follows: 1. Introduction: A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal certificate issued by the administrative department after passing exams, which permits qualified individuals who have studied and mastered traffic regulations and driving skills to operate certain types of motor vehicles. 2. Classification: The National Ministry of Public Security issued the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Business Work Standards" and supporting regulations, further subdividing the previous three license types - A license (large buses), B license (large trucks), and C license (small cars) - into seven categories, while canceling the Q license.

There are mainly two scenarios for vehicle inspections. The first is the initial inspection conducted after purchasing a new vehicle and during its first registration, where you need to visit a testing station to check the vehicle's overall safety, emission standards, etc., ensuring it meets roadworthiness requirements. The second is the subsequent periodic annual inspections, which may be required once a year or once every two years depending on the vehicle's age, focusing on potential hazards like brakes, lights, and tire wear. As someone who frequently repairs cars, I've seen owners skip inspections and end up with major issues, such as brake failures causing accidents, so I recommend booking an inspection slot in advance to avoid queues. Regular annual inspections can also help save fuel and extend the vehicle's lifespan, making them highly practical. Don't wait until a breakdown occurs to panic—developing the habit is much more reassuring.

I figured out two types of vehicle inspections right after buying my car: new vehicle registration inspection and annual periodic inspection. Before registering a new car, it's mandatory to get it inspected to ensure emissions compliance and proper lighting. Annual inspections are a must to prevent sudden roadside emergencies like brake failure. During my last annual inspection, I found the taillights were dim, and replacing them eliminated potential hazards. The inspection process is quite fast, and online booking saves time. Friends often complain it's troublesome, but like me, going on time avoids fines and repair costs. Remember these two scenarios for safer and more confident driving.

For family car owners, vehicle inspections are divided into two categories: initial registration inspection for new cars and annual inspections. The inspections test brake sensitivity, lighting effectiveness, and emission standards to ensure safe travel for the whole family. I always take my car for annual inspections ahead of time to avoid emergency repair costs. New car inspections check basic functions, while annual inspections identify aging issues—both are crucial. A reminder to all car owners to get inspections done on time to prevent potential hazards.

How to Tell if the Car Body is Straight After Turning?

Methods to determine if the car body is straight after turning are as follows: 1. While driving on the road: The simplest way to judge whether the car body is straight is by using the center divider line or the edge line of the road. When driving, if the markings in both side mirrors are parallel to the car body, then the car body is straight; otherwise, minor adjustments are needed. 2. When parking: If there are no other cars nearby, observe through the rearview mirror whether the rear of the car is parallel to the road edge or the parking line. If there are cars nearby, check through the rearview mirror whether the distance to the adjacent car is equal at both ends. Equal distance means the car is straight; if the rear of the car is too close to the adjacent car or the front is too close, it indicates the car body is tilted. 3. Observing the front of the car: You can also observe the front of the car. When parking, if the front part of the car is perpendicular to the road edge, it means the car body is straight; otherwise, the car needs to be repositioned.

What Causes the Red Engine Oil Light?

Generally, when the engine oil light illuminates in a vehicle, it indicates a fault in the engine's lubrication system. The full name of the oil light is the engine oil pressure indicator. This indicator is used to show whether the oil pressure is normal; if the oil pressure is abnormal, it will light up. Similar to the engine self-check indicator, the oil pressure light also turns on when the vehicle starts. If the oil pressure is normal, it will subsequently turn off. However, if the oil pressure remains abnormal, the light will stay on. In such cases, further inspection of the vehicle is necessary to diagnose the issue. Common causes for the oil pressure light to illuminate include: 1. Insufficient oil level leading to inadequate oil pressure. The oil pump's output decreases, resulting in reduced oil pressure and the illumination of the oil pressure light. It is essential to check for any engine leaks or faults causing oil consumption. 2. A malfunction in the oil pressure sensor itself, causing the vehicle's computer to receive incorrect oil pressure data, thus triggering the oil pressure light. 3. Faults in the wiring harness of the oil pressure sensor, such as open circuits or short circuits, leading to the illumination of the oil pressure light.

What is the difference between a vehicle identification number and an engine number?

Vehicle identification numbers and engine numbers are not the same. The vehicle identification number (VIN), commonly referred to as the frame number, can be found in the vehicle information section of your vehicle registration certificate. The engine number, listed as Engine No. on the registration, is stamped on the engine block, while the VIN is stamped on the vehicle's frame. It typically consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the methods mentioned above, the engine number can also be located through the following four ways: The vehicle registration certificate contains the engine number, usually located on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will specify the engine number; The car purchase invoice will list the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will indicate the engine number. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's lineup, and multiple engines can share the same model. The engine number, however, is the production serial number of the engine. Each engine is assigned a unique engine number, and no two engines share the same number.
