Online services are only for appointment scheduling; actual processing still requires visiting the vehicle management office. You can apply for license renewal within 90 days before its expiration. Replacement of lost driver's license or renewal of expired driver's license. The online vehicle management office services mentioned above are only applicable to applicants who hold second-generation resident ID cards and have passed electronic identity authentication.

I recently renewed my driver's license on my phone, and the process was quite simple. First, download the 12123 APP and register/login, remembering to use your own phone number for real-name verification. On the homepage, click 'Driver's License Replacement/Renewal,' and it will automatically detect and remind you if your license is about to expire. For a renewal due to expiration, you'll need to upload a new photo—preferably a recent white-background ID photo, as incorrect dimensions will result in rejection. Then, follow the prompts to fill in your personal information and delivery address, and choose between an online medical check or a hospital check-up. It's advisable to book a medical check-up in advance to save time. After completing all the documents, pay the processing and courier fees online, and just wait for the new license to be delivered to your home. Now, everything is confirmed with an electronic signature, eliminating the need to queue at the DMV, which is indeed convenient.

Is Dual Clutch Manual or Automatic?

Dual clutch is automatic. Automatic transmissions include: traditional automatic transmissions, CVT transmissions, and dual clutch transmissions. Any transmission that does not require manual operation and completes gear shifting automatically is collectively referred to as an automatic transmission. Car transmissions can be divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions, with the latter further categorized into AT automatic transmissions, AMT semi-automatic transmissions, DTC dual clutch transmissions, and CVT continuously variable transmissions. Throughout the process from starting the car to normal driving, the driver can operate the clutch as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and the drivetrain, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power output from the engine to the drivetrain. Its function is to allow the engine and the transmission to gradually engage, ensuring a smooth start; temporarily disconnect the engine from the transmission to facilitate gear shifting and reduce impact during shifting; and act as a separator during emergency braking to prevent overloading of the transmission and other drivetrain components, thus providing a certain level of protection.

Why can't I find my driver's license file number on 12123?

The reasons why the driver's license file number cannot be found on 12123: 1. It may be that the data from the traffic police department's system has not been updated to the 12123 software system. You need to wait for the system data to be synchronized before you can view it; 2. It may be that the correct issuance address of the driver's license was not selected during registration, which can cause some data to not be displayed or delayed; 3. It may be because the driver's license has expired and needs to be replaced with a new one. Solutions: 1. Check the duplicate of the driver's license, which has two numbers—the top one is the license number, and the bottom one is the file number; 2. You can go to the traffic police department or the vehicle management office consultation window and ask the staff to help you query; 3. You can also use the touch query terminal at the traffic police brigade to query using ID card recognition; 4. Search on the public security traffic police website by logging in with your name and ID number; 5. You can also use Alipay's city services to bind your driver's license, after which you can view it.

How to Avoid Stalling on a Hill Start?

Methods to avoid stalling on a hill start: Before starting, first ensure that the clutch and brake are fully depressed. Then slowly release the clutch. When the vehicle begins to shake noticeably, keep the left foot steady on the clutch pedal without moving, and gradually release the brake with the right foot. Once the vehicle starts moving, completely release the brake. Another method involves using the handbrake. When parking on a slope, engage the handbrake. During startup, release the handbrake with the right hand, gently lift the clutch with the left foot, and slightly press the accelerator with the right foot. Then gently lift the clutch again with the left foot until reaching the semi-engaged state. Keep the clutch steady, add a bit more throttle, and immediately release the handbrake. The driver should maintain a calm mindset and avoid panic.

Does the Dash Cam Keep Recording After the Car is Turned Off?

After the car is turned off, the dash cam does not keep recording. The power source of the car dash cam is connected to the vehicle's ignition system. When the car is turned off, the ignition system loses power, so the connected dash cam also powers off. Continuous power supply would increase the battery consumption and wear out the car battery, but it can be manually turned on if needed. Considerations for installing a dash cam: 1. The camera should have a wide-angle lens to comprehensively record the surroundings of the vehicle; 2. The dash cam should have good video clarity and night recording capability; 3. Choose a model with high concealment to reduce the risk of theft or window smashing; 4. The mainstream video processor format is movavi format. In addition to mandatory installation on buses, coaches, and school buses, logistics and transportation companies are also starting to require dash cams, and the products must have 3C certification.
