The vehicle inspection process is as follows: 1. Prepare required documents: copy of compulsory insurance policy, original vehicle license, motor vehicle registration certificate, and original ID card; 2. Ensure there are no traffic violation records. If there are any, they must be handled before the inspection; 3. Clean the vehicle thoroughly as excessive dirt may affect the annual inspection photos; 4. Pay the inspection fee; 5. Drive the vehicle to the inspection station entrance and wait for inspection; 6. Hand over the vehicle to the inspector for testing while the owner waits to retrieve it; 7. After inspection, the staff will issue an inspection report, payment receipt, and bind the copy of the insurance policy. Vehicle annual inspection refers to the mandatory process that all motor vehicles must undergo each year, equivalent to a physical examination for the vehicle. It helps promptly eliminate potential safety hazards and reduce traffic accidents, commonly known as vehicle inspection.

Speaking of the vehicle inspection process, as someone who has been driving for over a decade, I go through it annually. The whole procedure is quite smooth: first, I book an appointment at the testing station via mobile phone in advance, then prepare the vehicle's registration certificate and insurance policy before heading out. Upon arrival, I queue up for the exterior inspection, where staff check if the lights are functioning, turn signals are flashing, and tire wear is normal. Next comes the chassis dynamic test, where the car is driven onto a simulator to test braking performance, followed by the emissions test—the vehicle is put in neutral to measure whether pollutant levels from the exhaust pipe exceed standards. Once passed, I receive the inspection certificate to stick on the windshield. My advice is to check tire pressure and all lighting functions beforehand. Once, my tire tread was too shallow, and I had to switch to a spare tire on the spot to pass, saving time and avoiding multiple trips. Overall, it's a good way to ensure road safety, and going early to avoid peak hours makes it hassle-free.

I've delved deep into the vehicle inspection process: it's divided into three parts - appearance, dynamic, and emission tests. The appearance check is fundamental, ensuring no illegal modifications, intact vehicle structure, and all lighting signals functioning properly. The dynamic test examines the chassis system, including brake sensitivity and suspension stability, using instruments to simulate driving conditions for evaluation. The emission test specifically measures exhaust pollutants, with equipment capturing carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon levels. From my experience, this requires regular maintenance support, such as changing engine oil and cleaning air filters, to ensure smooth inspection. Inspection stations operate professionally, but with proper self-maintenance, there's no need to worry. The process is standardized, but don't overlook details during execution.

As an environmental advocate, I place great emphasis on the emissions inspection during the vehicle examination process. The key part involves testing the concentration of pollutants emitted by the vehicle at idle and during acceleration, with standards becoming stricter year by year to reduce air pollution. The inspection is not just a formality but a way to protect the environment. I always ensure my engine is well-maintained to avoid high pollutant emissions. The entire process also includes checks on exterior lighting and chassis brake tests, but I particularly stress the importance of the emissions inspection, as it directly relates to our shared goal of green mobility and deserves serious attention.

How many points are deducted for making a U-turn over double solid yellow lines?

According to Article 26 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, violators who make a U-turn over double solid yellow lines will be fined 200 yuan and receive 3 demerit points. Generally, on long roads, solid white lines are usually present in the middle section or before intersections. If there are yellow dashed lines or white dashed lines, U-turns are permitted. However, U-turns are strictly prohibited over any solid lines, so drivers should carefully observe before attempting a U-turn. Permissible U-turn situations: U-turn allowed when intersection has U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign at the intersection, U-turns are permitted. If there is a U-turn traffic light, drivers must follow its instructions. In the absence of such signals, U-turns may be made provided they do not interfere with other vehicles or pedestrians. U-turn allowed when intersection has no explicit prohibition signs: U-turns are permitted at intersections without explicit "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs, and where the center line is not solid. The term "no explicit prohibition" means that as long as there are no "No U-turn" signs, "No Left Turn" signs, or solid center lines, U-turns can be safely executed. U-turns allowed over yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines are no-stopping zones typically marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary parking, important institution entrances, and other necessary locations. Stopping on these grids (including waiting at traffic lights) constitutes a violation. Although vehicles cannot stop in yellow grid zones, U-turns are permitted there. Unless there is a central barrier, yellow grid lines are equivalent to "U-turn permitted" areas. Intersections with U-turn traffic lights: This is straightforward—if a U-turn traffic light exists, drivers must wait for the green light to proceed with the U-turn. When "No Left Turn" and "U-turn Permitted" signs coexist: U-turns are allowed even if left turns are prohibited. Note that "No U-turn" does not necessarily mean "No Left Turn." Precautions when making U-turns at intersections: Observe road markings: U-turns are strictly prohibited over solid lines under any circumstances. Drivers should continue forward to find a suitable U-turn spot. If a "No Left Turn" sign is present, U-turns are also prohibited at that intersection, even if there is no explicit "No U-turn" sign, because U-turns inherently involve left-turning movements. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. Attempting a U-turn from the second left-turn lane is not permitted. U-turning vehicles must yield to through traffic and proceed only when it does not disrupt the normal flow of straight-moving vehicles, otherwise they will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes typically have guiding arrows. Not all leftmost lanes have left-turn arrows—some may have straight arrows instead. Even without explicit "No U-turn" signs, U-turns are prohibited in such lanes. U-turns must not be executed on pedestrian crosswalks, as this constitutes a traffic violation.

How to Use the External Circulation?

During long-distance driving, the air inside the car can become stale over time. In such cases, you should turn on the external circulation to bring fresh air into the vehicle. After purchasing a new car, the interior usually has a strong odor. At this time, you should use the external circulation as much as possible to quickly dissipate the harmful gases inside the car.

How to Solve the Strong Odor in Tucson?

Park the car in a safe open area, then open all doors and windows under the sun. After continuous exposure to sunlight for 2-3 days, most of the odors inside the car can be removed. The remaining odors can be eliminated by ensuring proper ventilation during daily driving. This is because sunlight exposure generates high temperatures inside the car, which activates harmful gases, allowing them to dissipate through the open windows and doors.

How to Use Lights When Meeting Another Car at Night?

When meeting another car at night, you must turn on the low beam. If you were previously using the high beam, be sure to switch back to the low beam in advance. When meeting another car, quickly switching between high and low beams can alert the other driver. Drivers at night often improperly use high beams when meeting another car, which can shine strong light into the other driver's eyes, making it difficult to see the road clearly.
