Driving with an expired driver's license will result in the vehicle being impounded for 15 days and a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 yuan. You can apply for a new driver's license 90 days before the expiration date of your current one. Within one year after the expiration date, you can also submit a physical condition certificate to the traffic police department of your registered residence to complete the renewal application. If more than one year passes, the driver's license will be revoked. Here is additional information: 1. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," drivers should apply for a renewal at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or another authorized office 90 days before the expiration date of their driver's license. 2. When applying, you need to fill out an application form and submit the following documents: the driver's identity proof, the current driver's license, and a physical condition certificate issued by a county-level or higher medical institution (or a military medical institution at the regimental level or above). For applications involving a small automatic transmission vehicle for disabled persons, a physical condition certificate issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority is required.

How many meters are required for lane changing in Subject 3?

Overtaking and lane changing in Subject 3 must be completed within 100 meters. There are no specific requirements for speed and gear, as long as you are faster than the vehicle being overtaken, but you should ensure that the gear matches the speed. Additionally, pay attention to the speed limit of the test road to avoid speeding. There are three deduction standards in the Subject 3 test: deducting 5 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 100 points. Different deduction standards have different detailed rules, which need to be carefully read and familiarized with. Deduct 100 points: Before stopping, failing to observe the traffic conditions behind and to the right through the interior and exterior rearview mirrors; after the examiner issues the command to pull over, failing to stop within the specified distance; after stopping, the vehicle body exceeds the right edge of the road or the sidewalk edge; after stopping, failing to turn the head to observe the side rear and left traffic conditions before opening the door inside the vehicle; after getting out of the car, failing to close the door.

Can a new car be returned or exchanged if it malfunctions?

New cars can be returned or exchanged if they malfunction, but there are strict regulations regarding the conditions for returns or exchanges. The relevant regulations on car warranties and returns/exchanges are primarily based on the "Regulations on the Repair, Replacement, and Return of Household Automotive Products" issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine, commonly known as the "Automobile Three Guarantees." Below are the conditions for returning or exchanging a car: 1. Service Target: The service targets household automotive products, which refer to passenger vehicles purchased and used by consumers for personal consumption. If the car is purchased for rental purposes, such as leasing to a car rental company or for ride-hailing services like Didi or Hitch, or for other commercial purposes, it is not covered under the three guarantees for car returns or exchanges. 2. Time Regulations: The time frame for returning or exchanging a car must be within 60 days from the date of the purchase invoice or within 3,000 kilometers of driving (whichever comes first). This means that if more than two months have passed since the purchase, the car generally cannot be returned or exchanged. The warranty period for the car is no less than 3 years or 60,000 kilometers. 3. Other Conditions: If the car has undergone two repairs for the same serious safety performance fault and the fault remains unresolved or a new serious safety performance fault occurs, the consumer may choose to return or exchange the vehicle.

How soon can a new car be transferred to someone else?

A new car can be transferred to someone else the day after completing the registration procedures, with no time restrictions. For the transfer, both parties need to bring their ID cards, the vehicle license, and the motor vehicle registration certificate. As long as the new car has all the necessary documents, is free from any mortgage or pledge, and has no outstanding traffic violations or accidents, it can apply for the transfer procedure at any time. Here are four types of vehicles that cannot be transferred: 1. Vehicle identification code does not match the engine hood code: Such vehicles are usually of unknown origin, often being smuggled or modified cars. Even if purchased, they cannot be registered or transferred. 2. Failed to meet environmental inspection standards: Starting from 2018, China implemented the National V emission standard nationwide. Vehicles meeting National III or IV standards could not be registered even if purchased. With increasingly strict environmental standards, the National VI standard followed soon after. It is advisable to purchase vehicles meeting at least National V standards. 3. Vehicles without a certificate of conformity: The certificate of conformity is another crucial document for a car and is essential for registration. Without it, the car cannot be registered or transferred. 4. Non-compliant vehicle frame number: Every vehicle has a unique frame number, much like a person's ID card. Many stolen or cloned vehicles have their frame numbers altered when forging license plates.

How to Solve Brake Locking on a Van?

Force start the vehicle and press the accelerator hard until the rear wheels rotate; or remove the tire and lightly tap the brake drum with a hammer or similar tool to loosen the brake drum and brake pads. Below is related information about brake locking: 1. Causes: Brake locking usually occurs after rain, washing the car, or when the vehicle has been parked for a certain period (generally about a day). The interior of the rear brake drum and the surface of the brake pads are prone to rust, leading to locking. 2. Prevention methods: To prevent brake locking, after the brake drum gets wet, do not park immediately. Drive for a while and apply the brakes multiple times to allow the moisture inside to evaporate; or when parking, do not engage the handbrake. For manual transmission vehicles, shift into 1st gear, and for automatic transmission vehicles, shift into P gear. This ensures the vehicle won't roll. By keeping the brake drum and brake pads from contacting each other, rust-induced locking can be avoided.

Is there a fee for the second attempt at the Theory Test (Subject 1)?

There is no fee for immediately retaking the Theory Test (Subject 1) after failing the first attempt. Here are some important notes for the Theory Test: 1. Pay attention to facial recognition: During the test, make sure the camera is properly adjusted to capture your face. Do not cover your face with hair or hands, and avoid resting your chin on your hand or covering your mouth, as this may prevent proper identification and invalidate your test results. 2. Bring valid identification: Carry your ID card and admission ticket. Before entering the examination room, you will need to scan these documents on a card reader to be assigned a seat. 3. Maintain a calm mindset: The test is entirely mouse-operated. When selecting answers, take your time and avoid rushing to click the next question. Also, be careful not to accidentally submit the test due to nervousness.
