Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all motor vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is similar to an annual safety check-up conducted in accordance with the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety," aimed at promptly identifying and eliminating potential safety hazards, encouraging and enhancing vehicle maintenance, and reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents—commonly referred to as a vehicle inspection. Below are the items checked during the annual inspection: 1. Inspect whether the engine, chassis, body, and ancillary equipment are clean, complete, and functional; whether the paint is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; whether major assemblies have been replaced and match the initial inspection records. 2. Test whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with the "Technical Requirements for Motor Vehicle Safety Operation." 3. Check whether the vehicle has undergone modifications, redesigns, or alterations; whether the registration details on the driving license, license plate, and vehicle records match the current condition of the vehicle; and whether approval and modification procedures have been completed. 4. Inspect whether the license plate, driving license, and enlarged license plate markings on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether replacement is necessary.

Will I be fined for speeding at the exit of an interval speed measurement section?

Speeding at the exit of an interval speed measurement section will not result in a fine. According to the "2017 Highway Speeding Penalty Standards," when the speed limit on a highway is 100 km/h, driving between 100-110 km/h will not incur a fine. Below is relevant information: 1. Speeding by less than 10%: If the vehicle's speed exceeds the speed limit by less than 10%, only a warning will be issued, with no fine. 2. Speeding by 10% to less than 20%: On roads with a speed limit below 50 km/h, exceeding the speed limit by 10% to less than 20% will result in a fine. 3. Speeding by 20% to less than 50%: Exceeding the speed limit by 20% to less than 50% will incur a fine. 4. Speeding by 50% to less than 70%: A fine will be imposed; exceeding the speed limit by 70% will also result in a fine. Therefore, fines are primarily determined based on specific road conditions and the actual speed.

Does speeding at the entrance of an average speed check zone count as speeding?

Speeding at the starting point of an average speed check zone does not constitute a traffic violation. Average speed check zones are established by setting up two adjacent monitoring points on the same road section. The principle is to calculate the average speed of a vehicle on that road section based on the time it takes to pass between the two monitoring points, and then determine whether the vehicle has exceeded the speed limit according to the standard set for that section. Below are relevant details: 1. Average speed check system: This system involves setting up cameras at checkpoints to establish a monitoring and photographing system. It conducts real-time monitoring and photographing of vehicles passing through the checkpoint monitoring area to obtain information such as the vehicle's speed, traffic flow, license plate number, color, approximate physical size, and driver characteristics. This information is then transmitted via a network to the public security traffic command center and the traffic control sub-center's database for data storage, query, comparison, and other processing. 2. Regulations: According to Article 78 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China', highways must indicate the speed limit for each lane. The maximum speed must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed must not be less than 60 kilometers per hour. On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger cars must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, for other motor vehicles it must not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, and for motorcycles, it must not exceed 80 kilometers per hour.

What brand is Denso?

Toyota-affiliated company, the world's largest automotive electronics supplier—Denso Corporation, a top-tier global supplier of automotive components and systems, ranked number one in Japan. Theoretically, Bosch spark plugs are more durable and stable, while Denso spark plugs focus more on performance, but the actual difference is minimal. Spark plug purchasing recommendations: 1. Check the thread diameter (in millimeters) of the spark plugs used for your vehicle model. Currently, the mainstream size in China is 14mm, so the standard tightening torque for spark plugs is generally 25~30N/m. 2. Check the heat value of the spark plugs for your car's engine. 3. The material of the spark plug has a minor impact on performance. The main differences are that platinum spark plugs have a longer lifespan, while iridium spark plugs offer faster ignition response.

Can I Register a Car in a Different Location from Where I Purchased It?

Yes, you can purchase a car in one location and register it locally as long as you have the purchase invoice and the vehicle's certificate of conformity. Here are some considerations for registering a car purchased in a different location: 1. Is it worth buying a car in a different location: Travel and accommodation expenses can add up significantly when purchasing a car from another location. Therefore, before making the purchase, carefully consider whether it's truly worth traveling that far to buy a car. 2. Always buy from an authorized 4S store and verify if they support out-of-town purchases: When picking up the car, inspect it thoroughly, as some dealers might take advantage of out-of-town buyers by offering inventory or problematic vehicles. 3. Drive cautiously: Since the car is in its break-in period, drive carefully on the way back, ensuring the engine RPM doesn't get too high, and avoid sudden acceleration or braking.

What Does Comprehensive Range Mean?

Electric vehicles have two range values, one called the comprehensive range and the other called the constant-speed range (also known as the maximum range). These two range values are derived from different testing conditions. The comprehensive range is tested under conditions that more closely resemble everyday driving environments. Factors affecting the range of an electric vehicle: 1. Charging equipment: The quality of the charging equipment will affect the energy replenishment and output of the electric vehicle's battery, thereby impacting the range. 2. Tire pressure: Similar to gasoline-powered cars, low tire pressure increases rolling resistance and lateral steering resistance, causing the vehicle's battery to deplete quickly and reducing the range. 3. Overloading: Just like with gasoline-powered cars, overloading an electric vehicle undoubtedly increases its weight, requiring more battery output and accelerating energy consumption, inevitably leading to a reduced range. It is recommended to follow the law and avoid overloading. 4. Sudden stops and starts: Sudden stops or starts mean activating the motor in a very short time and consuming more electrical energy, which can also shorten the motor's lifespan. It is recommended that after starting an electric vehicle, it should be driven at a steady, slow speed for a distance before accelerating. Electric vehicles also need a warm-up period. While driving, maintaining a steady speed helps keep the battery in a stable working state, ensuring optimal range.

What are the reasons why the steering wheel cannot automatically return to center?

Here are the reasons why the steering wheel cannot automatically return to center: 1. Poor lubrication between the kingpin and bushing: After prolonged use, severe wear can lead to excessive clearance. At this point, the front wheel camber angle may disappear or turn into negative camber. When the front wheels tilt inward, the axis of the front wheels and the kingpin become nearly parallel. This increases the resistance arm during steering, preventing the kingpin inclination angle from functioning effectively. 2. Damage to the chassis or deformation of the suspension causing tire misalignment on one side: If the steering wheel cannot return to center at all when turned to one side, the problem is more serious. In this case, merely performing a wheel alignment is insufficient. When this occurs, 80% of the time the vehicle has experienced a significant collision. Therefore, a comprehensive inspection and repair of the vehicle is necessary to prevent further issues or even accidents during subsequent driving.
