Vehicles without inspection are not allowed on the road. Driving a vehicle without timely annual inspection will result in 3 demerit points, a warning or a fine. If an accident occurs involving a vehicle that has not undergone annual inspection, the party involved will bear full or primary responsibility. Below is relevant information about vehicle annual inspection: Vehicle Annual Inspection Schedule: For passenger cars and blue license plate minivans, within the first six years after new vehicle registration, inspection is required every two years. After six years, inspection is required annually. After ten years, inspection is required once a year. After fifteen years, inspection is required twice a year. For trucks, inspection is required annually after registration, and twice a year after ten years. Definition of Vehicle Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety".

I once forgot to have my car inspected after driving it for two years, and as a result, I was stopped by traffic police, fined 200 yuan, and had 3 points deducted from my license. My car was also temporarily impounded, and it took a long time to sort everything out. This was such a hassle—it affected my daily commute to work and wasted both gas money and time. Now that I think about it, annual inspections aren’t just about legality; they’re crucial for checking the safety of components like brakes and tires to avoid accidents. If you’re caught without an inspection, you’ll have to queue up at the DMV to get it sorted, which is especially troublesome. I strongly recommend setting a reminder on your phone to get your car inspected on time—it saves hassle, money, and gives peace of mind. Keeping up with regular vehicle maintenance also ensures a smooth inspection process, avoiding the risk of fines and ensuring safe travels.

What letters are used for Foshan license plates?

Foshan vehicle license plate letters are the city's license plate codes—Yue E, Yue X, Yue Y. Foshan is located in Guangdong Province. The first Chinese character at the beginning of a license plate represents the province or municipality, and the letter following the first Chinese character represents the city or district. By looking at the first Chinese character and the subsequent letter on the license plate, you can determine where the vehicle belongs. Below is relevant information about license plates: 1. License plates can be either official or temporary. Temporary plates are made of paper and do not need to be fixed to the front or rear of the vehicle. However, temporary plates must be affixed to the inside of the front and rear windshields. Failure to adhere to this regulation is equivalent to driving without a license plate. 2. Official license plates are made of metal and must be fixed to the front and rear of the vehicle. 3. Official license plates come in different colors, and different types of vehicles require plates of different colors. Common official license plate colors include blue, yellow, and green. 4. Green license plates are used for new energy vehicles, which include pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Does Wheel Rim Scratches Affect Safety?

If the wheel rim only has surface scratches, there are no safety concerns; however, if the edges are scratched and material is chipped off, it may cause poor sealing between the rim and tire, leading to slow air leakage and compromising safety. Here are specific maintenance methods for wheel rims: 1. When the wheel rim is hot, allow it to cool naturally before cleaning. Never use cold water for cleaning, as this may damage the aluminum alloy rim or even deform the brake disc, affecting braking performance. 2. Using cleaning agents on aluminum alloy rims at high temperatures can cause chemical reactions on the surface, resulting in loss of luster and affecting appearance. 3. If the vehicle is located near coastal areas, the wheel rims should be cleaned frequently to prevent salt corrosion on the aluminum surface.

What to Do When the Volkswagen Bora's Exhaust Pipe Emits Black Smoke?

Car emitting black smoke is a relatively common symptom, indicating that the engine's air-fuel mixture is too rich, leading to incomplete combustion, which is a sign of engine malfunction. However, there are relatively many causes for this issue, and it should be inspected and repaired at a maintenance shop. The main reasons for the Volkswagen Bora's exhaust pipe emitting black smoke are: 1. Issues with the quality of fuel used. When low-quality gasoline is used, similar situations are likely to occur. If low-quality gasoline with many impurities is accidentally added, the combustion efficiency will inevitably decrease significantly. 2. Clogged air filter. This leads to an overly rich mixture, causing insufficient oxygen supply to the engine and resulting in incomplete combustion. 3. Malfunction in the car's ignition system. This could be caused by reasons such as spark plug leakage, weak high voltage, or weak spark.

What are the symptoms of a faulty valve oil seal?

Symptoms of a damaged valve oil seal are as follows: 1. The engine burns oil and emits blue smoke; 2. Severe carbon buildup on the spark plugs, leading to reduced engine power; 3. Decreased sealing performance results in insufficient cylinder pressure, causing reduced engine power; 4. Accelerated oil consumption, and in severe cases, it can directly lead to engine seizure due to lubrication and cooling failure. Causes of valve oil seal damage are as follows: 1. During assembly, if the threads or splines are not aligned properly, the misaligned parts will leak oil due to poor sealing, also damaging the oil seal itself; 2. The tightness of the spring does not meet the technical requirements. If too tight, it will cause improper fit between the oil seal and the rotating shaft, leading to abnormal wear. If too loose, it will result in insufficient pressure to seal properly, failing to achieve the desired sealing effect.

How long does it take to receive a text message after running a red light?

After running a red light, the notification text message for the violation is usually received within 3 to 7 days, and at the latest within about 13 days. However, some cities now offer an "instant electronic police capture alert," where you can receive a text notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. However, this notification does not equate to a violation; it merely serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it is a violation still takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another text message. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive the violation text message immediately. There is a delay, and the length of time can vary. After the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center, where it is compiled and then verified by the relevant traffic police department staff. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via text message. After receiving the violation text message, the vehicle owner must go to the traffic police department where the violation occurred within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection to handle the matter. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects they have committed a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation text message is received after 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic violation query methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management through online or terminal methods. There are five ways to query vehicle violations: traffic branch terminal queries, vehicle violation website queries, phone queries, text message queries, and mobile app queries. Website query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and enter your vehicle information to check. Phone query: To query violations, you can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for confirmation. Violations can only be processed at the traffic police department where the violation occurred or where the vehicle's license plate was issued. For on-the-spot violations, such as those caught directly by a traffic officer, they must be handled at the location of the violation. Text message query: Open your phone's text message interface; enter "WZ" followed by your license plate number and color in the message body; input 1062650001 as the recipient and click send. Mobile app query: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "violation query," and find any unprocessed violations to clear them.

Why is there water leakage under the car's passenger seat?

Water leakage under the passenger seat of a car is likely caused by door leakage. If the window regulator has been replaced, it may be due to improper sealing of the door waterproof membrane after the replacement. This happens because the waterproof membrane needs to be peeled off during the regulator replacement process. If the waterproof membrane is not properly sealed, heavy rain can cause water to enter the car. You can perform the sealing work yourself or replace the waterproof membrane. Common car faults are as follows: 1. Abnormal exhaust smoke: Black smoke from the car's exhaust pipe usually indicates a rich air-fuel mixture and incomplete combustion; blue smoke typically means burning engine oil; white smoke usually suggests water in the fuel, water in the cylinders, or extremely low outdoor temperatures. 2. Abnormal odors: The burnt smell from non-metallic materials of brake pads and clutch plates, the distinctive odor of battery electrolyte, the scorched smell of burnt electrical system wires, and the burnt smell and gasoline odor from engine oil leaking onto the exhaust pipe.
