The validity period after the second renewal of a driver's license is 10 years. Article 56 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" states: If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of their motor vehicle driver's license, they will be issued a motor vehicle driver's license with a ten-year validity period upon renewal. If the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period of their motor vehicle driver's license, they will be issued a long-term valid motor vehicle driver's license upon renewal. Renewal deadline: The motor vehicle driver should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office of the issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of the current driver's license. The "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" must be completed during the application. Required materials for renewal: Bring two copies of ID card, two recent 1-inch color photos without a hat, original ID card, original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free physical examinations are also available at the vehicle management office). Renewal process: The motor vehicle driver submits the required materials to the vehicle management office of the issuing authority for renewal. The vehicle management office will process the renewal within one working day after approval.

I just renewed my driver's license for the second time last year, and the new license now has a long-term validity period. When I renewed it for the first time, the validity was extended from 6 years to 10 years. Now, during the second renewal, the staff at the vehicle management office told me that as long as I follow traffic rules and haven't accumulated 12 penalty points, I can get a license with long-term validity. I specifically checked the regulations, and it's indeed the case: after driving for 10 years without serious violations following the first renewal, the second renewal directly grants long-term validity. Remember to bring a medical examination report when renewing—now you don’t even need to prepare photos yourself, as the vehicle management office can take them on-site. Long-term validity is really convenient, though drivers aged 70 and above still need to submit an annual medical examination certificate.

Does Driving on the Highway in Rainy Weather Increase Fuel Consumption?

Driving on the highway in rainy weather does increase fuel consumption. Driving Habits: Incorrect driving habits have the most significant impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and hard braking are the most common issues. It was found that when a vehicle enters a test section at a constant speed, fuel consumption can increase by 2 to 3 times compared to steady driving. Tire Pressure: When tire pressure is either too high or too low, the car's fuel consumption increases. Road Conditions: Congested roads or uneven surfaces that require the vehicle to operate in lower gears for extended periods will also increase fuel consumption.

Is the Vehicle Annual Inspection Closed During National Day Holiday?

Under normal circumstances, most vehicle management offices are closed for annual inspections during the National Day holiday. Annual inspection time regulations: The first annual inspection for a passenger car is conducted when it reaches six years of age. Non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles, including family cars over 6 years but under 10 years old, require an inspection every two years. For vehicles exactly six years old, the annual inspection requires driving the vehicle to the inspection station with the owner's ID card, vehicle license, vehicle and vessel tax or tax exemption certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. After passing the inspection, a certification form will be issued. Finally, submit this form along with the carried documents to the relevant window to receive the annual inspection sticker. Annual inspection procedures: First, after submitting the inspection application, proceed with the online inspection. Drive the vehicle into the automatic inspection area to sequentially test exhaust emissions, speed, lights, side slip, and chassis to ensure they meet standards. All items must pass to proceed. Next is the appearance inspection, verifying the vehicle's license plate, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number for accuracy. Then inspect the body appearance, checking details such as the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, paint, engine operation condition, and the interior and wheels of passenger vehicles. Finally, the owner can obtain the inspection report and application form from the inspector. If all inspection items pass, the owner can proceed to pay the inspection fee and collect the vehicle license and compliance label. If any items fail, the owner must repair the vehicle and participate in a re-inspection until all items pass before proceeding with the visa procedures.

What Causes the Clicking Sound When Shifting Gears in an Automatic Transmission?

Automatic transmission gear shifting produces a clicking sound due to engine gear failure; large valve clearance when the engine is cold; transmission failure, etc. Automatic transmission gear shifting: Automatic transmission vehicles have protection and interlock mechanisms for gear shifting. Accidentally shifting from D to R or P while driving can be dangerous, but switching between D and N is allowed at any time, including while driving. Avoid coasting in neutral: Coasting in neutral with an automatic transmission does not save fuel. Prolonged coasting in neutral can lead to insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic lines of the automatic transmission, increasing friction, reducing lubrication effectiveness, and damaging the internal friction plates of the transmission.
