If a vehicle is caught by traffic police driving without inspection, the driver will face a fine, 3 demerit points, and may even have the vehicle impounded. Driving an uninspected vehicle is considered illegal driving. If an uninspected vehicle is involved in a traffic accident, the driver will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not provide compensation. If the vehicle has been uninspected for less than three months, the driver can directly apply for a re-inspection and will receive a verbal warning without a fine. If the vehicle has been uninspected for more than three months but less than two years, the driver will need to pay a fine and receive 3 demerit points. If the vehicle has not been inspected for more than two years, the vehicle's registration will be canceled, and the driver will need to pay a fine to reinstate it. If the vehicle fails to obtain an inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles (interpreted as three consecutive missed inspections), it should be scrapped. If a vehicle that has been forcibly scrapped is driven on the road, the driver will face severe penalties, including fines and revocation of their driving license.

Last time I forgot to get my car inspected, and I was immediately pulled over by traffic police while driving. They checked my vehicle license and sternly told me that driving an uninspected vehicle is illegal. I was issued a ticket on the spot—3 points deducted and a 200-yuan fine. The worst part was my car got towed, and I had to go to the traffic police station to pay the fine, then to the inspection station for a recheck. During the recheck, they found the brake pads were worn out, which could have caused an accident. It took me a whole week to get my car back, got three days' salary deducted by my company, and spent hundreds on parking fees. I really should set a phone reminder to avoid such a silly mistake disrupting my life.

Is the Rear Air Vent Important?

The rear air vent is very important. Extended relevant information is as follows: Arrangement: In summer, the car's air conditioning helps passengers cool down quickly. However, for standard sedans seating five people, the air vents are usually arranged on the center console. As a result, rear passengers may not be able to enjoy the cooling effect promptly. Contradiction: When the air conditioning is too strong, front passengers may feel uncomfortable, while rear passengers may still feel hot. To address the uneven cooling needs, equipping a rear air vent is a practical solution. It not only helps all passengers enjoy the comfort of air conditioning but also allows for the independent closing of front or rear air vents to accommodate passengers with different comfort preferences. Temperature Zones: Cars with rear air vents enable rear passengers to enjoy the same cooling effect as those in the front, but this does not mean the car has two or more temperature zones. In cars with multiple temperature zones, the rear air conditioning can not only control the airflow independently but also set its own independent temperature.

Can illegal parking be handled on 12123?

Illegal parking cannot be handled on 12123. Here is relevant information about illegal parking: On-site illegal parking penalties: For violating road traffic safety laws regarding motor vehicle parking regulations, if the driver is present, traffic police can point out the violation and issue a verbal warning, requiring the driver to leave immediately. Generally, as long as the driver leaves promptly, there will be no fine. If the driver refuses to leave and the parked vehicle obstructs other vehicles or pedestrians, the traffic police may impose a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Non-on-site illegal parking penalties: If the driver is not present, in addition to issuing a fine and a ticket, if the parked vehicle obstructs other vehicles or pedestrians, the traffic police department has the authority to tow the vehicle to a location that does not obstruct traffic or to a parking area designated by the traffic management department of the public security authority.

What is the latest time limit for registering a new motorcycle?

After purchasing a motorcycle, it must be registered within 7-30 days. For motorcycle registration, you need to bring the owner's ID card, invoice, certificate of conformity, vehicle consistency certificate, etc. According to the law, as long as the vehicle is driven on the road, it must be registered. However, if the vehicle is not driven on the road, it is up to the individual whether to register it or not. But if the emissions meet the standards, registration and licensing can be done regardless of how long it has been. For registration, you need the vehicle's certificate of conformity, the ID card or organization code certificate (and a copy) of the person who issued the invoice, compulsory insurance policy, tax payment certificate, and for non-local residents, a temporary residence permit. You also need to pay the vehicle purchase tax, submit the relevant materials, and bring the first copy of the invoice and the original vehicle certificate of conformity. Notes: Take photos, grind the code, print the motor vehicle parameter table, and indicate on the original certificate of conformity whether the vehicle needs to undergo inspection. For external inspection, if inspection is required, proceed with it; if not, go to get the serial number. File the documents, take photos of the license plate number, register the license plate, and receive the environmental protection card, vehicle registration certificate, and driving license. If the vehicle is not registered within 2 years of leaving the factory, or if an accident occurs before registration, a safety inspection and appraisal must be passed before applying for registration.

What is the Function of Active Grille Shutters?

The function of active grille shutters is for heat dissipation and air intake. When the engine radiator's water temperature is too high and natural airflow alone cannot provide sufficient cooling, the fan will automatically activate to assist in heat dissipation. As the vehicle moves, air flows backward, and the fan's airflow direction is also backward. The heated airflow after cooling exits from the area near the windshield at the rear of the engine hood and flows downward from the vehicle, allowing the heat to be discharged. Below is additional information about grille shutters: Advantages: When the vehicle is in a cold state, the grille shuts, helping the engine quickly reach an optimal temperature. Improves fuel economy: When the grille opens, it not only aids in heat dissipation but also reduces air resistance to some extent, thereby improving fuel economy.

What are the measures to deal with a car collision?

Here are the measures to deal with a car collision: Increase lateral spacing: When vehicles are meeting, overtaking, or avoiding obstacles, they are prone to scraping or colliding with each other or other objects. Therefore, the lateral spacing between vehicles should be increased. Reduce frontal collisions: When there is a possibility of a head-on collision with another vehicle while driving, first steer slightly to the right, then appropriately counter-steer, and quickly press the brake pedal. If a head-on collision with another vehicle is unavoidable, apply emergency braking to reduce the impact. At the moment of the head-on collision, quickly release the steering wheel, lift your legs, and lie on your side on the right seat to avoid being pinned by the steering wheel.
