Beihu Car refers to a vehicle that continues to be driven under the original owner's name. Here is an introduction to Beihu Cars: 1. Meaning: A Beihu Car is a vehicle that cannot be transferred to a new owner. It is a completely normal car with all necessary documents, valid annual inspections, and insurance, but it cannot be legally transferred. 2. Reasons: The license plate registration location is too far away, making the transfer process costly; the car might be used as collateral for debt, possibly having been passed through multiple debt cycles; the original owner has passed away, and the vehicle has not been deregistered; in areas with license plate restrictions, the car and plate are transferred together; imported vehicles cannot be registered locally due to migration restrictions; some scammers may sell commercial vehicles converted to private use as Beihu Cars at low prices. 3. Caution: If the current owner flees after a traffic accident, the police will not investigate the current owner but will hold the original owner responsible; the original owner may have to bear medical expenses, nursing costs, and other compensations; in severe cases, they may even face legal consequences.

Is it mandatory to purchase car insurance at a 4S dealership when paying in full?

It is not mandatory to buy insurance at a 4S dealership; you are free to choose where to purchase your vehicle insurance. The reasons why 4S dealerships require customers to buy insurance from them are as follows: 1. Profit: 4S dealerships require customers to purchase insurance because they hope to earn a portion of the profit from selling insurance policies. By acting as an intermediary, they can make significant profits. 2. Increased benefits: Purchasing insurance from a 4S dealership provides convenience for after-sales services, including insurance claims and car insurance services. Additionally, part of the profits from selling insurance can be used to offer more vehicle discounts and promotions to attract more customers.

How to Handle Driving Against Directional Arrows?

Failure to drive in the designated lane may result in different penalties depending on the specific circumstances. Generally, the fine is 200 yuan, with a deduction of 2 to 3 points. Article 51 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states: When motor vehicles pass through intersections controlled by traffic signals, they shall proceed according to the following provisions: At intersections with designated lanes, vehicles shall enter the lane corresponding to their intended direction of travel. Common violations of driving against directional markings include: 1. Failing to follow directional markings at intersections: This often occurs in waiting lanes before traffic lights, where many drivers intentionally or unintentionally proceed straight from a turning lane or turn from a straight lane. If this involves running a red light, two violations will occur: running a red light and failing to follow the directional lane, totaling 6 points and a fine of 400 yuan. 2. Making a U-turn or left turn where prohibited: On some roads where turns or U-turns are not allowed and no signs are posted, yellow prohibition markings may be painted on the lane to warn drivers that such maneuvers are not permitted. Making a U-turn or left turn in these areas will result in a deduction of 3 points and a fine of 100-200 yuan. Local regulations may vary, so refer to the specific traffic rules in your area. 3. Illegally entering a dedicated lane: "Dedicated lanes" include bus lanes, lanes for specific vehicles, and non-motorized vehicle lanes. Illegally entering such lanes constitutes "violating prohibition markings." The fine is 100-200 yuan, with a deduction of 3 points. Local regulations may vary, so refer to the specific traffic rules in your area.

Are there any requirements for the clothes in driver's license photos?

Because the driver's license photo has a white background, it is recommended to wear darker-colored clothes to create contrast with the white background. For example, black, yellow, blue, or similar colored clothes would work well. You may choose to wear collared shirts, and remember to keep your head up and chest out when taking the photo to appear more energetic and elegant. Specific details are as follows: 1. The driver's license photo requires that you do not wear white clothes: Since the driver's license has a white background, wearing white clothes will blend into the background, lacking contrast and definition. Also, avoid wearing uniforms; casual attire is preferable for the photo. Of course, overly colorful or strange clothing is also not allowed. 2. The clothing color should not be too bright: Otherwise, the photo may make your complexion appear dull, affecting the overall aesthetics of the driver's license. Those with darker skin tones may opt for even darker clothes to appear fairer. If you have a fair complexion, you can choose lighter-colored clothes for a more fresh and pure look in the photo, but avoid colors that are too pale.
