2021 driver's license age regulations have been relaxed, with no age restrictions set for license application. Introduction to driver's license: The full name of a driver's license is motor vehicle driving license, also known as "driver's license". It is a mandatory certificate that must be obtained by motor vehicle drivers in accordance with the laws of the People's Republic of China. China's definition of a driver's license is: A motor vehicle driving license refers to a legal document issued by the administrative department after the applicant who is legally allowed to learn to drive a motor vehicle has studied, mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the examination.

I remember that getting a driver's license has different requirements for different vehicle types. To drive a small car or an automatic transmission vehicle, you must be at least 18 years old. My neighbor's child was excited to sign up as soon as they turned 18 last year. For larger vehicles like buses or tractors, the age threshold is much higher—at least 22 years old. Interestingly, motorcycles are also categorized differently; you can get a license for a regular two-wheeled motorcycle at 18, but for a three-wheeled motorcycle, you need to be one year older. Now, policies have been relaxed—seniors over 70 can still drive as long as they pass specialized tests like memory and reaction assessments and submit a health certificate every six months. I recently saw news about an 80-year-old grandpa going on a road trip, of course, provided his health allows it.

Can the Following Vehicle Use High Beams When Driving Behind Another Car at Night?

When driving behind another car at night, the following vehicle should not use high beams but rather low beams. If the following vehicle turns on high beams, it can significantly impair the vision of the leading driver. Therefore, low beams should be used, and alternating between high and low beams should be avoided. Additionally, maintaining a safe and effective distance from the leading vehicle is essential. Relevant regulations are as follows: When driving at night without streetlights, under poor lighting conditions, or in low-visibility situations such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, vehicles must turn on headlights, clearance lights, and taillights. However, high beams should not be used when driving closely behind another vehicle in the same direction. During foggy conditions, vehicles must turn on fog lights and hazard warning flashers.

Why Are Motorcycle Enthusiasts Afraid of KTM?

Motorcycle enthusiasts are generally afraid of KTM for the following two main reasons: Excessive Power: In the motorcycle world, KTM offers stronger power and greater explosive force compared to bikes of the same displacement, which demands relatively higher riding skills.

Lack of Assistive Features: KTM motorcycles come without any electronic assistive functions, including ABS systems, relying purely on mechanical control.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Changan Oshan X7?

Changan Oshan X7 has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, which is the officially announced data. The fuel grade for Changan Oshan X7 is 92, with a fuel consumption of 7 to 7.4L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 743 to 786km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank at all times. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard typically has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow from the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated fuel tank capacity.
