Vision: Applicants for large passenger vehicles, tractor-trailers, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams must have uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. Applicants for other vehicle types must have uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 4.9 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. Applicants with monocular vision impairment can apply for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, or small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled if their uncorrected or corrected visual acuity in the right eye is at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart and their horizontal visual field reaches 150 degrees. Color vision: No red-green color blindness. Hearing: Able to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear at a distance of 50 cm from a tuning fork. Applicants with hearing impairment who can meet the above requirements with hearing aids can apply for small cars or small automatic transmission cars. Upper limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact, with normal limb and finger movement. Applicants with missing finger tips or three intact fingers on the left hand and complete palms on both hands can apply for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, or three-wheeled vehicles. Lower limbs: Both lower limbs must be intact and have normal movement, with a length difference of no more than 5 cm. Applicants with a missing or non-functional left lower limb can apply for small automatic transmission cars. Torso and neck: No movement dysfunction. Applicants with missing or non-functional right lower limbs or both lower limbs who can sit independently and meet the upper limb requirements can apply for small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled. Applicants with one missing hand, a intact thumb on the other hand, at least two other intact fingers, and normal upper limb and finger movement, and who meet the lower limb requirements, can apply for small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled. Applicants for a motor vehicle driving license must submit their application to the vehicle management office according to the following regulations: Applicants residing in their registered residence must apply at their registered residence. Applicants residing in a temporary residence can apply at their temporary residence. Active military personnel (including armed police) must apply at their place of residence. Foreign nationals must apply at their place of residence. Applicants applying for additional vehicle types must apply at the place where their current driving license was issued.

I remember I was only 18 when I took the driving test last year. In China, the minimum age to obtain a small car license (C-class) is 18. When learning to drive, it's important to find a good driving school. For the first subject (theory test), practicing more questions makes it easier to pass. Subjects two and three are road tests, requiring more practice in skills like reverse parking and curve driving. Young people have plenty of energy, but safety comes first—impulses must be controlled while driving. Getting a driver's license isn't just about age; it also involves a medical check-up and paying tuition fees. The cost isn't high, but preparing for several months is normal. Many people study the theory in advance. I recommend familiarizing yourself with traffic rules before practicing driving to increase the pass rate.

My child just turned 18 and immediately signed up for a driver's license test. The age restriction is mainly for safety considerations, to prevent minors from lacking the ability to handle emergencies. In China, the minimum age for a Category C car license is 18, while a motorcycle license can be obtained at 16. As parents, we support this but always emphasize safety first. The driver's license process includes a theory test, parking test, and road test, requiring plenty of practice to avoid mistakes. When our child was learning to drive, we accompanied them during practice sessions, reminding them not to speed or get distracted. After all, driving comes with significant responsibility, and age thresholds help reduce accident risks.

The minimum age for a car driver's license is commonly 18 years old, but specific regulations vary by locality—some areas permit early theoretical study. Obtaining a license follows a step-by-step process: first, enroll in a driving school, master traffic rules, then practice driving before taking tests. Young applicants shouldn't rush; becoming proficient with vehicle controls is crucial. Safety is paramount—dedicate extra weeks to refine skills rather than focusing solely on age eligibility.

Where is the brake fluid located in a Mercedes-Benz?

The brake fluid in a Mercedes-Benz is located in the brake fluid reservoir. Precautions for brake fluid usage: If gasoline, diesel engine oil, or windshield washer fluid is accidentally mixed into the brake fluid, it will significantly affect braking performance. Immediate replacement is required. Under normal driving conditions of 40,000 kilometers or after continuous use of brake fluid for over 2 years, the brake fluid is highly prone to deterioration due to prolonged usage. Therefore, it is essential to replace it promptly. Checking for insufficient brake fluid: For vehicles equipped with a brake fluid level warning device, regularly monitor whether the warning indicator light is flashing and whether the warning sensor is functioning properly. When the brake fluid level is low, it should be replenished immediately. The stored brake fluid should be maintained between the marked minimum and maximum capacity levels.

What Causes High Pressure and High Low Pressure in Car Air Conditioning?

Car air conditioning high pressure is caused by: 1. Air entering the system due to incomplete vacuuming during maintenance, leading to increased condensing pressure; 2. Use of inferior refrigerant, the condenser electronic fan not opening properly or insufficient fan speed; 3. The condenser being blocked by foreign objects preventing normal heat dissipation or slight blockage of the expansion valve. Car air conditioning high low pressure is caused by: 1. Compressor damage; 2. Excessive opening of the expansion valve; 3. Poor system design, such as the compressor being too small, the expansion valve being too large, excessive flow resistance in the evaporator, or excessive flow resistance in the low-pressure pipe; 4. Poor heat dissipation of the condenser. Car air conditioning refers to the air conditioning device installed in a car, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the compartment, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety.

Where is the throttle of a car located?

The throttle of a car is located at the engine air intake, behind the engine air filter and in front of the intake manifold. The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates air entering the engine. After passing through the throttle, the air mixes with fuel in the intake pipe to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to produce power. Connected to the air cleaner at the top and the engine block at the bottom, it's often referred to as the 'throat' of a car engine. There are two main types of throttles: traditional cable-operated and electronic. In traditional engines, the throttle is operated via a cable (flexible steel wire) or linkage rod, connecting the accelerator pedal to the throttle linkage plate. Electronic throttles primarily use throttle position sensors to control the throttle opening angle based on engine power demand, thereby regulating the air intake volume.

What is the difference between brake fluid T3 and brake fluid T4?

The difference between brake fluid T3 and brake fluid T4 lies in their boiling points: the boiling point of brake fluid T3 is 205 degrees Celsius, while that of brake fluid T4 is 230 degrees Celsius. Brake fluid T4 is of a higher grade than brake fluid T3. The temperature in the braking system can get very high, and moisture can gradually accumulate in the brake fluid. High temperatures can cause this moisture to turn into gas, leading to poor braking performance, which is why it is necessary to replace the brake fluid regularly. Brake fluid is the liquid medium that transmits braking pressure in hydraulic braking systems, used in vehicles equipped with hydraulic braking systems. Within the braking system, it serves as a force transmission medium. Since liquids are incompressible, the pressure output from the master cylinder is directly transmitted to the wheel cylinders through the brake fluid.
