Hybrid cars refer to vehicles equipped with two or more power sources, typically combining a traditional internal combustion engine with a new electric motor to enhance the vehicle's dynamic performance. Additionally, some hybrid vehicles utilize alternative fuels such as natural gas, propane, or ethanol as secondary power sources. The characteristics of hybrid vehicles include: 1. The internal combustion engine primarily operates near optimal working conditions, ensuring complete combustion, cleaner emissions, and no idling during startup; 2. No need for external charging systems, resolving issues related to single-charge range and infrastructure; 3. The compact size of the battery pack results in lower costs and weight compared to electric vehicles; 4. The engine and electric motor can complement each other, allowing electric motor driving at low speeds.

How to Handle an Expired Driver's License for One Year?

According to relevant regulations, if your driver's license has been expired for less than one year, you can simply go to the vehicle management office to renew it. If the license has been expired for more than one year but less than three years, it will be in a "canceled but recoverable" status. In this case, you need to retake the written test (Subject 1) at the vehicle management office. Once you pass the test, you can renew your license. Statistics show that over 20,000 driver's licenses expire each year. The vehicle management department reminds drivers to renew their licenses in a timely manner. Employers hiring drivers can verify the authenticity of their licenses at the vehicle management office to avoid being deceived by fake licenses. A driver's license expired for less than three years can still be renewed. Special circumstances may qualify for an extension: According to the vehicle management office, under Regulation No. 123, if a driver is unable to renew their license, undergo inspection, or submit a physical condition certificate due to military service, overseas travel, or other reasons, they may apply for an extension at the vehicle management office where the license was issued. When applying, the driver must fill out an application form and submit proof of identity, the driver's license, and documentation of the reason for the extension. The maximum extension period is three years. During the extension period, the driver is not allowed to operate a motor vehicle. According to Article 28 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," driving with an expired license is considered unlicensed driving. Article 99 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that driving without a valid license, or while the license is revoked or suspended, may result in a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 yuan and up to 15 days of detention.

What is the wheel size of the Jetta?

The wheel size of the Jetta Comfort model is 195/55R16, while the Jetta Fashion model has a wheel size of 185/60R15. Introduction to wheel size: Wheel size essentially refers to the diameter of the wheel. In passenger cars, larger wheel sizes with higher tire aspect ratios can create a visually appealing tension effect and improve vehicle handling stability. However, this also comes with the downside of increased fuel consumption. Introduction to PCD and bolt pattern: PCD, professionally known as Pitch Circle Diameter, refers to the diameter between the fixing bolts at the center of the wheel. Most wheels have either 5 or 4 bolt holes, with varying distances between them. For example, 5X114.3 indicates that the wheel's PCD is 114.3mm with 5 bolt holes. When selecting wheels, PCD is one of the most critical parameters. For safety and stability reasons, it's best to choose wheels with the same PCD as the original vehicle for upgrades.
