Can I directly apply for an A1 driver's license now?

A1 driver's license cannot be obtained directly. The following are the application requirements for an A1 driver's license: Upgrade to obtain: Since the A1 driver's license can only be obtained through upgrading, you must already have one of the A3, B1, or B2 licenses before applying for an A1 license. You can apply for an A1 license only after five years of holding either an A3 or B1 license, and you must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in any of the recent five scoring cycles. For those holding a B2 license, the upgrade period can be reduced from five years to three, provided there is no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in any corresponding scoring cycle. Physical conditions: Height and age: Applicants must be between 22 and 60 years old and at least 155 cm tall. Vision and hearing: Uncorrected or corrected vision in both eyes must reach 5.0 or above. Applicants must be able to distinguish the sound of a tuning fork from 50 cm away, have normal physical activity, and no obvious defects.

How Long Can a Car Sit Without Being Started?

After being parked for a week, the car should be started once to recharge the battery. It is recommended to start the car every two weeks and drive it for 3 to 5 kilometers to maintain its performance. Prolonged inactivity can lead to various issues, including paint damage, battery drain, rubber aging, and fluid deterioration. Below are suggestions for long-term vehicle storage: 1. Clean the vehicle thoroughly: Before parking, clean both the exterior and interior of the car. Applying wax or a protective coating can help prevent paint corrosion. If possible, store the car in a garage. If parking outdoors, use a car cover to protect it from sun, rain, and debris like fallen leaves. 2. Avoid engaging the parking brake tightly: For long-term parking, it is best not to engage the parking brake too tightly. The brake system can react with moisture and oxygen in the air, leading to rust on the brake discs and pads. This can cause them to stick together, affecting braking performance and potentially causing wheel lock-up upon restart. 3. Increase tire pressure: Raise the tire pressure to around 2.8 to prevent tire deformation. Additionally, park on a flat surface to minimize tire damage. Parking on uneven surfaces for extended periods can cause tire deformation. 4. Prevent battery drain: Even when not in use, car batteries self-discharge. A good battery may deplete in about three months, while lower-quality ones may discharge faster. To avoid total discharge and battery failure, start the engine every 1-2 weeks. This also helps prevent internal engine rust. 5. Start the car periodically: Vehicles left unused for long periods may experience oxidation of engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, and electrolyte. Regularly starting the car and driving it briefly allows the engine to reach normal operating temperature. Before using the car again, replace the engine oil and other fluids and perform appropriate maintenance.

What does it mean when the SET light on the car dashboard is on?

The SET light on the car dashboard indicates low tire pressure. 1. The SET light is part of the tire pressure monitoring system. When it illuminates, it means the inflation pressure in one of the tires is too low. 2. Generally, a car's tire pressure monitoring system uses wheel speed sensors to detect the rotation speed of each wheel. When the speed difference between one wheel and the others reaches a certain threshold, the system will determine that the tire is underinflated, causing both the SET button light and the dashboard tire pressure warning light to illuminate to alert the driver. 3. The illumination of the SET light is most likely caused by abnormal tire pressure. Many modern vehicles are equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems. When the sensors detect abnormal tire pressure, the dashboard will alert the driver to check the tires, and in some vehicles, the "SET" button on the center console will also light up simultaneously.

If China 6 is implemented, can China 5 vehicles still be registered?

After the implementation of China 6, China 5 vehicles can no longer be registered, but newly registered China 5 vehicles can still continue to be used. The following is an introduction to China 5 and China 6: Introduction to China 6 standards: Compared to China 5, China 6 standards impose stricter requirements on carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons in emissions. Additionally, China 6 standards include new regulations on PN particulate matter. Introduction to China 5 standards: During the China 5 phase, emission standards for diesel and gasoline vehicles were different. However, China 6 adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning the emission limits are the same regardless of the fuel type. Differences between China 6 and China 5: After the formal implementation of China 6 standards, the main impact will be on new vehicle production, import, sales, and registration. Existing China 5 vehicles will no longer be allowed to be registered, but previously registered China 5 vehicles can still be used, will not affect normal annual inspections, and can be traded as used vehicles. China 6 standards will be among the strictest in the world. After July 1, 2019, China 5 vehicles will no longer be registrable in most regions of the country, and many regions have or will implement China 6 standards ahead of schedule.

What are the disadvantages of a manual-automatic transmission?

The disadvantages of a manual-automatic transmission are as follows: The manual-automatic transmission has higher technical requirements, and the application of advanced technology usually means higher maintenance costs and more stringent usage requirements. Although many vehicles are equipped with manual-automatic transmissions, the manual mode is rarely used. Additionally, this technology is not yet fully mature, and compared to conventional automatic transmissions, it has slightly higher fuel consumption. More information about manual-automatic transmissions is as follows: 1. A manual-automatic transmission combines the manual shifting and automatic shifting of a car, integrating the advantages of both automatic and manual transmissions. 2. It minimizes the power loss of the transmission system. Essentially, it is still a type of automatic transmission, but because it incorporates the characteristics of manual shifting, allowing free adjustment of gears and engine speed, it offers more driving pleasure than a conventional automatic transmission.

Is 2.8 bar tire pressure normal?

Tire pressure of 2.8 bar is not normal. According to the provisions and requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure is 2.4-2.5 bar. 2.8 bar is higher than the maximum value of the standard tire pressure, so it is not normal. Winter and summer tire pressure standards: Tire pressure should be based on the standard tire pressure of the car tires, and can be appropriately increased by about 0.2 bar in winter. In summer, it can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures. Whether the tire pressure is normal can be judged by the tire pressure monitoring light: Tire pressure monitoring is the real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during driving, and it alerts the driver to tire leaks and low pressure to ensure driving safety. The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol, an irregular circle with no seal on top and four small spikes at the bottom, with an exclamation mark inside. The tire pressure monitoring indicator light indicates abnormal tire pressure.
