When renewing a driver's license, the following items need to be checked: surgery, internal medicine, ophthalmology, and tuning fork hearing test. Generally, you need to go to a medical institution at or above the county level or the military regiment level for examination. If you are disabled, you need to go to a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority for examination. More relevant information is as follows: Downgrading the permitted driving model: If the physical condition of a motor vehicle driver changes and no longer meets the conditions of the permitted driving model on the current driver's license, but meets the conditions of other permitted driving models, the driver should apply to downgrade the permitted driving model at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was issued or elsewhere within 30 days. Filling out the application form: When applying, you should fill out the application form and submit the motor vehicle driver's identity proof, motor vehicle driver's license, and the relevant physical condition certificate issued by a medical institution at or above the county level or the military regiment level.

The physical examination for driver's license renewal is quite simple, and I've done it several times. The most common test is the vision check, where they assess your distance and near vision in both eyes. The doctor will show you a chart with letters or symbols to identify. A color vision test is also mandatory—they'll present colored cards to check for color blindness, as failing to distinguish traffic lights could be dangerous. The hearing test is straightforward too; you'll wear headphones in a quiet room to confirm you can detect basic sounds like car horns or warning signals. The key focus is the limb function examination to ensure finger dexterity for steering wheel and gearshift operation—doctors may ask you to perform simple movements like making fists or stretching. Additionally, they screen blood pressure and general health for conditions like hypertension that might impair driving. The whole process takes about 10 minutes at local hospitals or traffic police-designated centers (remember to book in advance). This protocol exists to keep roads safe, preventing minor health issues from causing major accidents.

I found the physical examination for driver's license renewal quite easy. From a new driver's perspective, the items include routine vision check, color discrimination test to prevent misjudging traffic light colors, hearing test to confirm the ability to hear road sounds, limb function tests like hand movement flexibility to ensure driving control, and basic blood pressure measurement. Why are these done? Mainly because national regulations aim to prevent accidents caused by drivers' health issues. During the examination, you just need to follow the doctor's instructions. My last visit took less than 15 minutes in total. A reminder to everyone: bring your old driver's license and ID card, and making an appointment in advance on your phone saves more time. After passing the physical, you can drive with peace of mind.

The driver's license renewal medical examination focuses on safety. It primarily checks vision, color discrimination, and hearing to ensure drivers can clearly see signals, distinguish colors, and hear sirens. Additionally, it examines limb flexibility, such as normal finger operation. These basic tests are completed at designated medical centers, emphasizing the core of driving safety.

What does 45tfsi mean?

45tfsi refers to: The number 45 does not represent displacement, but is a naming method derived from converting the G-value of 0-100 km/h acceleration, serving as a quantitative measure of the vehicle's acceleration; tfsi stands for turbocharging plus direct fuel injection. The G-value is used to represent the overall acceleration sensation of the vehicle model, with larger numbers indicating faster acceleration. The magnitude of the G-value is calculated by multiplying the average acceleration value (a) required for the vehicle to complete the 0-100 km/h acceleration by 10. tfsi refers to an FSI engine equipped with a turbocharger (T), a term commonly used in Audi series models. In the Volkswagen series, engines with direct injection (I), turbocharging (T), and mechanical (S) twin-charging are abbreviated as TSI, meaning fuel stratified injection, which is a type of lean-burn technology for engines.

Should You Turn on AC When Using Car Heater in Winter?

You don't need to turn on AC when using car heater in winter. The AC button controls the car's air conditioning compressor, which is only required when cooling in summer. Pressing the AC button activates the compressor for cooling. The heater simply utilizes the car's internal heat circulation principle without needing the air conditioning compressor. To use the heater, you only need to adjust the temperature control and turn on the blower fan. Therefore, there's no need to activate the AC switch when using car heater in winter. The heating system uses engine-generated heat to warm the air - after the engine cooling system dissipates heat from the engine, a fan directs this heat into the cabin as warm air. Even if you don't use the heater, the heat generated by engine operation would still be expelled outside the vehicle through normal heat circulation.

What Type of Engine Oil Should Be Used in Winter?

What type of engine oil should be used in winter depends on the lowest temperature in your region during winter. If the winter temperature in your area does not drop below -35 degrees Celsius, then 0W oil can be used. If it does not drop below -30 degrees Celsius, 5W oil can be used, and if it does not drop below -35 degrees Celsius, 10W oil is suitable. When selecting engine oil, it is essential to choose the appropriate viscosity for your car's engine based on its technical characteristics. The viscosity of the oil should not be too high or too low. If the viscosity is too low, the engine may not receive sufficient lubrication, which can increase wear and tear. If the viscosity is too high, it can increase the resistance the engine faces during operation, negatively affecting power output and fuel economy.

What vehicles can a B2 license drive?

A B2 driver's license allows the holder to operate medium and heavy-duty trucks or specialized operation vehicles, and also permits driving small cars, small automatic transmission vehicles, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, and wheeled self-propelled machinery. With a B2 license, one is allowed to drive blue-plate minibuses with 9 seats or fewer and a vehicle length under 6 meters. Among the medium and heavy-duty trucks permitted by a B2 license, there are no restrictions on tonnage or length, but the requirement is that the cargo compartment and the cargo hold must be on the same chassis. Some trucks where the cab can be detached from the trailer, known as tractors or commonly referred to as 'semi-trucks,' can only be driven with an A2 license.

What does the 'a' next to the electronic handbrake mean?

The 'a' next to the electronic handbrake represents the auto start-stop function, whose English name is autohold. After turning on this switch, when the vehicle is braked to a stop during driving, even if the brake is released, the vehicle will not continue to move. It will only resume driving when the accelerator is pressed, and can only be turned off manually. This function is suitable for situations like going up and down slopes or frequent starts and stops. The automatic parking system is a technical application that can achieve an automatic handbrake during vehicle operation. This technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stopped, and prevents unnecessary sliding when the automatic electronic parking brake is engaged.

What Components Make Up a Car's Power System?

An automobile's power system primarily consists of a battery, alternator, and voltage regulator. The alternator is responsible for charging the battery, keeping it sufficiently charged over time, while both the battery and alternator supply power to all the vehicle's electrical components. The battery is an essential part of the car and can be categorized into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. The car alternator serves as the main power source, functioning to supply electricity to all electrical devices and simultaneously charge the battery when the engine is running normally. Since the alternator is driven by the car's engine, and the engine's speed is not constant, the alternator's output voltage may fluctuate. Therefore, an electronic device is required to regulate the alternator, ensuring it outputs a relatively stable voltage across different engine speeds—this is the role of the voltage regulator.
