Hey, my cousin used to be bold and got caught driving without a license. The police impounded his car, fined him 1,500 yuan, and detained him for 15 days. After he got out, he was completely deflated and kept worrying about having a record. Later, when he went to buy insurance, the company refused to offer him the cheap option and insisted on doubling the price, saying he had a history and was prone to trouble. It was such a hassle, and the car repairs were a headache too—he almost lost his job. Take my advice: don’t be reckless and drive without a license. Just go get your license properly to avoid getting flagged and making a fool of yourself. Once it’s too late, you’ll regret it.

How to solve the simultaneous illumination of ABS and airbag lights in the Ford Escort?

It is recommended to go to a 4S shop or repair shop to check if the gap between the copper pieces of the front wheel sensor plug is too large or if the cable is disconnected. Then clear the ABS and airbag light fault codes, and the issue should be resolved. Below is relevant information: 1. ABS: ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is an anti-lock braking system; it sends signals through sensors installed on the wheels indicating that the wheels are about to lock up. The controller then instructs the regulator to reduce the oil pressure in the wheel's brake cylinder, decreasing the braking torque. After a certain period, the original oil pressure is restored, and this cycle repeats continuously (up to 5~10 times per second), keeping the wheels in a rotating state while maintaining maximum braking torque. 2. Airbag: Airbag (Air-bag, or Supplementary Restraint System, abbreviation: SRS); refers to an inflatable soft bag installed in the car, which is deployed instantly in the event of a collision to provide cushioning and protect the safety of the driver and passengers. Generally, in the event of a collision, it can prevent the heads and bodies of the occupants from directly hitting the interior of the vehicle, reducing the severity of injuries.

How many days after a new car leaves the factory is the certificate of conformity uploaded?

New cars upload the certificate of conformity 7 days after leaving the factory. The certificate of conformity is issued simultaneously with the vehicle, but the information must be uploaded to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), which then saves it into the database for the vehicle management office to access. This process typically takes around one and a half weeks. Vehicle Certificate of Conformity: The vehicle certificate of conformity is issued with the vehicle when it leaves the factory. It must be submitted to the vehicle management office for archiving when registering the vehicle's license plate, and it is replaced by the motor vehicle registration certificate. Engine Number: The vehicle dealer will check with the vehicle management office during the settlement process. There is an engine number that can be compared to verify if it matches the engine number recorded at the time of production and the one on the vehicle's registration certificate. The vehicle management office where the car is registered will also have a rubbing of the engine number from the time of registration. Vehicle Management Office Website: You can check the certificate of conformity number of the vehicle on the vehicle management office's website.

How many years after purchasing a new car does it require an annual inspection?

If the new car is a small or micro non-commercial passenger vehicle, it requires an annual inspection after exceeding 6 years. Introduction to Annual Inspection: Motor vehicle inspection includes three categories: motor vehicle safety technical inspection, motor vehicle emission inspection, and comprehensive vehicle performance inspection. Annual inspection, also known as annual check-up, refers to the safety inspection conducted every year or every two years on a vehicle. This includes a comprehensive check of components such as the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, etc. Annual Inspection Process: Upon arrival at the inspection station, the first step is the exterior inspection. The owner needs to park the vehicle in the designated area for exterior inspection, prepare the fire extinguisher and triangular warning sign, open the vehicle's engine hood and trunk, and wait for the staff to conduct the inspection. After payment, the owner must submit their ID card and vehicle license to the staff, who will then enter the vehicle's annual inspection information into the system. Once these steps are completed, the owner can take the form and wait for the online inspection. If the online inspection is passed, the owner can proceed to the final procedures at the general inspection office.

Why Are There Holes in the Engine Hood?

The reason there are holes in the engine hood is for heat dissipation. Some are due to high compression ratio boosting. You can open the engine hood to check what's underneath—if it's an intake partition, then it's for boosting; if it's an intercooler, then it's for heat dissipation. Airflow Guidance Function: For objects moving at high speed in the air, the air resistance and turbulence generated around the moving object directly affect its trajectory and speed. The shape of the engine hood can effectively adjust the direction of airflow relative to the car's movement and the resistance it generates, reducing the impact of airflow on the car. Through guidance, air resistance can be decomposed into beneficial forces, increasing the force of the front tires on the ground, which helps stabilize the car's movement. Protection for the Engine and Surrounding Pipeline Components: Under the engine hood are critical components of the car, including the engine, electrical circuits, oil circuits, braking system, and transmission system. These are vital to the vehicle. By enhancing the strength and structure of the engine hood, it can effectively prevent adverse effects such as impacts, corrosion, rain, and electrical interference, ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle.

What is the engine speed of a motorcycle?

Motorcycle engine idle speed is 1400 (±100) RPM. Most domestic motorcycles have a maximum speed between 7,000 and 9,000 RPM. Some domestic motorcycles can reach up to 11,000 RPM. Tachometer working principle: Electronic tachometers utilize electromagnetic principles: a piece of iron is connected to the needle, surrounded by an electromagnetic coil. The electromagnet has three wires: positive, negative, and the high-voltage pack input wire, which is the engine's ignition wire. Each time this wire discharges, the engine ignites once, meaning the engine rotates twice. Based on this principle, every time the electromagnet is energized, it magnetizes once. The faster the rotation, the stronger the magnetic force, causing the needle to move upward. Mechanical tachometer: Mechanical tachometers use a flexible steel wire connected at one end to the engine and the other end to the instrument panel. The engine's power drives the rotation of the flexible wire. Inside, there is a circular magnet with a bowl-shaped iron disk attached to it, and the needle is mounted on the disk. The faster the rotation, the quicker the magnetic force moves the iron bowl. The principle of the mechanical tachometer is the same as that of the odometer on the left.

Can someone else handle the driver's license renewal for me?

Driver's license renewal can be handled by someone else. The process and required documents are as follows: 1. Prepare two 1-inch photos and a medical certificate, with one photo attached to the top right corner of the medical form and the other kept for the new license. 2. Bring your ID card and driver's license to the service hall, fill out the "Renewal Application Form," then submit the documents, medical certificate, and application form to the staff, pay a 10-yuan fee, and wait for the new license to be issued. 3. Before renewal, check if there are any unresolved traffic violations. If so, they must be handled first; otherwise, renewal will not be processed. 4. Renewal can be done up to 90 days in advance. Plan your time wisely to avoid expiration. If your license expires and you are caught by traffic police, you will be fined 50 yuan without any points deducted. 5. It is best to take the renewal photos and medical certificate directly at the police station's service hall, where the fee is 10 yuan for both. Otherwise, there is a risk of disqualification, requiring retakes and delaying the process. Renewal is usually completed on-site, but in some large cities, it may take a few days, though it must be completed within 15 days, after which you will be notified to collect your new driver's license.
