Here are the documents you need to carry while driving: 1. Vehicle license plate (or temporary license plate or replacement plate certificate): A license plate should be installed at both the front and rear of the vehicle. For cargo trucks or trailers, the rear exterior of the cargo compartment should also display white enlarged characters matching the vehicle's license plate number. 2. Vehicle registration certificate: Carry the registration certificate that matches the license plate of the vehicle you are driving. Ensure there are no discrepancies in the annual inspection records or passenger capacity for trucks. 3. Driver's license: The vehicle class permitted on the driver's license must match the vehicle being driven, and the annual review records on the license should meet requirements. 4. Road maintenance fee certificate: Carry a valid unified road maintenance fee payment certificate or exemption certificate. Ensure there are no errors in the vehicle class, license plate number, unit, or date on the document. 5. Insured vehicles must carry the insurance policy. 6. For privately operated vehicles, carry the relevant business license and documents. For vehicles owned by organizations, carry the unit's "travel permit." 7. The driver's personal resident ID card.

When driving, I always remind myself that the most crucial documents to carry are, first and foremost, the driver's license, which proves my eligibility to drive and must be kept on me, usually in my wallet. Next is the vehicle registration certificate, serving as the car's ID—not having it can lead to the vehicle being impounded or a fine. The ID card is also vital for quick identity verification during police checks. While the vehicle insurance proof isn't needed daily, keeping an electronic copy on your phone is recommended for easy access. The annual inspection sticker is now digitized, but placing it visibly on the dashboard is a good precaution. Without these, facing an accident or inspection can lead to major hassles, possibly requiring towing, so developing the habit is essential for smooth and safe driving.

What is the replacement interval for gear oil?

Gear oil should be replaced every 2 years. Gear oil is primarily composed of petroleum, lubricating oil, base oil, or synthetic lubricating oil, with the addition of extreme pressure anti-wear agents and oiliness agents. It is mainly used in manual transmissions and rear drive axles, offering excellent anti-wear properties, load resistance, thermal oxidation stability, and rust prevention. The functions of gear oil include: 1. Lubricating gear transmission components such as transmissions, steering gears, and reducers; 2. Reducing wear on gears and other moving parts, thereby extending their lifespan; 3. Minimizing friction, reducing power loss, dissipating heat for cooling, and preventing corrosion and rust; 4. Decreasing operational noise, reducing vibration and impact between gears, and flushing away contaminants on gear surfaces to minimize wear.

What is the correct method for parking on a highway?

Correct method for parking on a highway: 1. Drive the vehicle out of the traffic lane and move towards the emergency lane without affecting other vehicles; 2.

Is a Tire Wear Index of 280 Considered Low?

Theoretically, it depends on the "T"—Treadwear Index (wear values generally range between 160-540), and 280 is not considered low. Summer Standard Type: Tires with a wear index between 160-300 are classified as summer standard type. Summer High-Performance Type: Tires with a wear index between 160-200 are classified as summer high-performance type. All-Season Standard Type: Tires with a wear index between 300-540 are classified as all-season standard type. The higher the tire wear index, the more wear-resistant the tire is. However, higher is not always better, as when the wear index reaches a certain level, it may correspondingly lose some performance.

Why Can't the Key Be Pulled Out After Parking?

The reason why the key cannot be pulled out after parking is that the automatic transmission was not shifted back to the P (Park) position, or the car's steering wheel auto-lock function was activated. Here are the detailed explanations: Not shifted back to P position: For some automatic transmission models, the key can only be pulled out when the gear is shifted back to P position. If the gear is not shifted back to P position or there are foreign objects in the gear slot preventing it from being fully engaged, the key cannot be pulled out. Check if there are any foreign objects like coins stuck in the gear slot and remove them. Steering wheel auto-lock function activated: When the steering wheel auto-lock function is activated, gently turn the key with your right hand while simultaneously rocking the steering wheel left and right with your left hand to release the key.
