To process the delegation notice, the applicant must bring their ID card, the original and photocopy of the vehicle license (or vehicle registration certificate). 3. After completing the delegation procedures, the owner should drive the vehicle to the designated inspection hall at the local vehicle management office for testing. 4. Once the vehicle passes the inspection, the owner should take the inspection report to the service window of the local vehicle management office to print the inspection compliance label. Note: After the vehicle passes the inspection at the testing location, the owner must apply for the inspection compliance label at the delegated vehicle management office in accordance with Article 49, Paragraph 2, and submit the delegation letter for issuing the inspection compliance label.

Where is the Thermostat Switch for the Car Electric Fan Located?

The thermostat switch for the car electric fan is located in the central control area of the vehicle. Below is relevant information about the thermostat switch: 1. Operating Range: The operating range of the car thermostat switch is 85~105℃. 2. Composition: It consists of a wax temperature-sensitive driving element and a two-stage contact action mechanism. The switch utilizes the sudden volume expansion of paraffin wax when it changes from solid to liquid upon heating to move the push rod, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the contacts. As the coolant temperature rises, the paraffin wax begins to expand, pushing the push rod through the rubber sealing membrane to overcome the tension of the spring frame. 3. Function: The thermostat switch in the car air conditioning system is the main switch used to adjust whether the air conditioning provides cooling or heating. Rotating this switch enables the switching between cooling and heating functions.

How Many Types of Car Transmissions Are There?

Common car transmissions include the following types: 1. Manual Transmission: Vehicles equipped with manual transmissions require the driver to use both hands and feet to shift gears during driving. 2. Automated Manual Transmission (AMT): Vehicles with AMT transmissions can be classified under automatic transmission vehicles. 3. Hydraulic Automatic Transmission (AT): This type of transmission consists of a torque converter, planetary gear mechanism, hydraulic control system, and electronic control system. 4. Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): In terms of driving operation, cars with CVT transmissions also use a gear lever to select parking, reverse, neutral, and forward gears or manual gears. 5. Dual-Clutch Automatic Transmission (DCT): In terms of operation, dual-clutch automatic transmissions still fall under the category of automatic transmissions. In terms of shifting speed and quality, the more logical dual-clutch automatic transmission performs better than AMT transmissions.

Why can't the car accelerate when wading through water?

When a car cannot accelerate after wading through water, it is usually because the intake has sucked in dirty water, causing it to mix with the engine oil. Below are the impacts of vehicle wading: 1. Braking performance: Residual water after wading can prevent the brake discs and brake pads from fully engaging, leading to a loss of braking power. 2. Chassis: The water accumulated on roads during rainy days tends to be dirty, containing various debris like fallen leaves. When a vehicle wades through water, these debris can easily stick to gaps in the chassis, eventually causing rust over time. 3. Headlights: Headlights are crucial equipment for driving in rainy, foggy, or nighttime conditions, and their operational state directly affects driving safety. If the headlight covers are not well-sealed, water can easily enter the headlights during wading, creating condensation inside and impairing light transmission.

Can I retake the test if my driver's license has been deducted 12 points for more than three years?

If your driver's license has been deducted 12 points for more than three years, you cannot retake the test. Here is some additional information: 1. Time limit for handling 12-point deduction: The time limit for handling a 12-point deduction is 15 days. If it is not handled within 15 days, the traffic management department of the public security authority will announce the suspension of your driver's license. If your driver's license is deducted 12 points, it is recommended to handle it as soon as possible. The learning content is only theoretical knowledge, which is subject one. 2. Penalty regulations for 12-point deduction: If you refuse to participate in the learning or accept the test after your driver's license is deducted 12 points, the traffic management department of the public security authority will announce the suspension of your motor vehicle driver's license. There is a one-year probation period after obtaining the driver's license. If you are deducted 12 points during this period, it is not just a matter of taking subject one. Your probationary driving qualification for the permitted vehicle type will be revoked. Your driver's license will be invalid, and if you want to drive, you will have to pay and apply for a new driver's license.

What is a C4D Driver's License?

Upgrading from C4 to D or from D to C4 results in a C4D license. A C4D driver's license allows the holder to operate three-wheeled vehicles, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles (with an engine displacement exceeding 50ml or a maximum design speed exceeding 50km/h), and light motorcycles (with an engine displacement of 50ml or less and a maximum design speed of 50km/h or less). The requirements for obtaining a C4D license are: having held a C4 license for at least 2 years with driving experience and meeting the C4 license examination criteria. Alternatively, if holding a D license and applying to add the C4 vehicle class, the applicant must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the current or previous scoring cycle. In other words, one can apply to upgrade to C4 after holding a D license for at least one year. Eligible applicants should bring their ID card and driver's license to a driving school to apply for the upgrade. The vehicle classes corresponding to different license levels are as follows: C1: Small cars and C2, C3, C4 (passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer, such as sedans, are considered small cars); C2: Small automatic transmission cars; C3: Low-speed trucks and C4; C4: Three-wheeled vehicles; C5: Small automatic transmission passenger cars for disabled individuals (specifically those with right lower limb disabilities, both lower limb disabilities, hearing impairments, missing right thumbs, or missing finger joints); D: Ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles; other permitted vehicle classes: E, F; E: Ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles and F; F: Light motorcycles. According to Article 19 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law": To drive a motor vehicle, one must legally obtain a driver's license. Applicants must meet the driving permit conditions set by the public security department under the State Council. After passing the examination, the traffic management department of the public security authority will issue the corresponding category of driver's license. Drivers must operate vehicles within the permitted classes specified on their license and carry the license while driving. Therefore, it is clear that both driving without a license and driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted class on the license are illegal. As stipulated in the first provision of the reply from the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council regarding the interpretation and application of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" and its implementing regulations: Driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted class on the license is considered equivalent to driving without a license in nature. In terms of penalties, based on the principle of proportionality, it may be treated as driving without a license but with a lighter punishment. Thus, both driving without a license and driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted class on the license are subject to the provisions of Article 99, Paragraph 1 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law": Driving without a license, driving with a revoked license, or driving during a license suspension period will result in fines imposed by the public traffic management department and may also incur detention for up to 15 days.
