If a vehicle's annual inspection is overdue, you need to go to the public security traffic management department to accept penalties, which may include a warning or a fine of up to 200 yuan. After the penalty is paid, you can proceed with the normal annual inspection. Below is a detailed introduction to the handling methods for overdue vehicle inspections: 1. Overview: If a vehicle's annual inspection is overdue, you can proceed with the normal inspection after accepting penalties at the traffic management department. Driving a vehicle with an overdue inspection is illegal, so timely inspection is necessary. 2. Penalty methods: According to the motor vehicle registration management regulations, if a vehicle fails to undergo the required safety technical inspection within the specified period, the public security traffic management department will issue a warning or impose a fine of up to 200 yuan. Driving without a valid inspection is considered illegal, and insurance companies will not provide compensation in case of an accident. Therefore, it is essential to ensure regular annual inspections.

Last time my car inspection expired, and I was really panicked. I quickly searched online for the phone numbers of nearby inspection stations and booked the earliest available appointment. When I got there, I first filled out an application form explaining the situation. The staff said it was manageable if it was within three months overdue. While waiting in line for the inspection, I was on edge, worried that the emissions might exceed the standard and require repairs. After the inspection, I went straight to the counter to pay the inspection fee and also a 200 yuan late fee. When I got the new sticker, I immediately tore off the old one and put the new one on. Only then did I dare to drive normally when I saw traffic police on the road. As soon as I got home, I set a phone reminder for next year's inspection date—I definitely don’t want to go through this nerve-wracking experience again.

Should You Engage the Handbrake or Shift Gears First in an Automatic Transmission Car?

When starting the car, for an automatic transmission, you should shift gears first and then engage the handbrake. The safest way to start an automatic transmission car is to first press the foot brake, then shift into D gear, release the handbrake followed by the foot brake, and finally press the accelerator to complete the start. Some models use an electronic handbrake, which will automatically disengage as soon as the accelerator is pressed. Below is more information about the handbrake: 1. The handbrake primarily functions by activating the braking system to secure the vehicle. When starting, shifting gears first and then engaging the handbrake allows the car to start in a stable condition. 2. When parking, you should first engage the handbrake and then shift into P gear. In this scenario, the braking work is completed by the braking system, with the P gear mainly serving as an auxiliary function, allowing the internal components to be in a completely relaxed state, thereby better maintaining the car's parts and preventing excessive wear. 3. The gears in an automatic transmission are relatively simple: D gear is for driving forward, R gear is for reversing, N gear is neutral, and P gear is for parking.

What causes the EPC light to come on in an Audi A4?

The reasons for the EPC light coming on in an Audi A4 are: 1. The throttle body is dirty or there is a fuel quality issue; 2. There is a leak in the intake system, causing the engine control unit to detect the problem and illuminate the EPC warning light; 3. There is a leak in the crankcase ventilation system; 4. The brake lights are not working, requiring inspection of the brake switch and wiring. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop to have a technician connect a computer and check the fault codes, then address the issue based on the specific cause. The Audi A4 uses a five-link independent suspension for the front and rear, and is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 150kW and a maximum torque of 320Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

How to find the 1.5-meter distance for reverse parking?

Reverse parking to find the 1.5-meter distance method is: 1. The reversing speed must be slow, and the engine must not stall; 2. Slowly reverse backward, observe the middle position of the triangular window on the right side window, and when it aligns with the pole at the entrance, turn the steering wheel fully to the right, allowing the rear of the car to move inward. Wait until the car body is parallel to the sideline, and the line is inside the rearview mirror, then turn the steering wheel back to the left to straighten. Reverse parking is a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license, assessing the driver's ability to operate the vehicle in a confined space. Precautions for reverse parking include: 1. Control the driving speed, use first gear or reverse gear idle speed throughout the process, maintaining the same speed as when starting; 2. After controlling the steering timing, observe carefully during the reversing process, grasp the key points of steering, and steer at the right time.

Are most cars front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive?

Most family sedans are basically front-wheel drive. According to the driving methods of cars, they can be divided into three types: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive. The details are as follows: 1. Front-wheel drive: In terms of handling, front-wheel drive cars have higher stability, while rear-wheel drive cars offer more driving fun. Front-wheel drive cars are cheaper to manufacture, fuel-efficient, and economical; but they are prone to understeer, making drivers often experience 'pushing' in corners. The weight distribution of front-wheel drive cars is basically concentrated at the front. During cornering, the car is noticeably front-heavy, making it unsuitable for aggressive handling maneuvers, but it's fine for daily driving. Nowadays, most family cars are front-wheel drive. 2. Rear-wheel drive: Generally, they have good handling because some components are moved from the front to the rear, greatly improving the car's balance and handling. Considering the handling and safety of the vehicle, front-wheel drive cars are prone to understeer during turns, while rear-wheel drive cars are prone to oversteer. 3. Four-wheel drive: Four-wheel drive is a more balanced driving method, combining the advantages of front-wheel and rear-wheel drive, and can effectively avoid situations like understeer and oversteer. Since the engine torque is distributed to the front and rear wheels, some power is sacrificed, and it is relatively more fuel-consuming.

How to Set the Automatic Tilt-Down Function for BMW 3 Series Reversing Mirror?

Method to set the automatic tilt-down function for BMW 3 Series reversing mirror: First, shift into reverse gear, press and hold the driver's seat memory button on the left side until a sound is heard, manually adjust the right mirror to the desired "tilt-down position," which confirms the memory is successful. When reversing, rotate the mirror adjustment to the R position, and it will automatically tilt down. Below are the detailed steps: 1. Start the engine and ensure the mirror adjustment switch is on the "left side." 2. Make sure the correct seat memory setting function (including mirror angle) is in place. Recall the seat memory to reset the right mirror to its memorized position. 3. Move the mirror adjustment switch to the "right side," then shift into R gear (the car doesn’t need to move; just hold the brake). 4. Manually adjust the right mirror to the desired "tilt-down position." 5. Shift back to N gear (P gear is also acceptable), then return the mirror adjustment switch to the left side. 6. Shift into R gear again to test; the right mirror should tilt down to the previously adjusted position. 7. Shift back to D/N/P gear, and the right mirror should correctly return to its memorized position. The steps for the left mirror are the same.

What are the principles of yielding to pedestrians?

The main principles of yielding to pedestrians are as follows: 1. If the road has no centerline division or only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, vehicles from both directions should stop and yield. 2. If there are two motor vehicle lanes in the same direction, vehicles in both lanes should stop and yield. 3. If there are three or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction, vehicles in the lane corresponding to the pedestrian and the adjacent front lane should stop and yield. 4. If there are no traffic lights or crosswalks on the road, drivers should actively yield when encountering pedestrians crossing the road.
