A 17-seater shuttle bus is classified as a medium-sized passenger vehicle, requiring a B1 or A1 driver's license to operate. A2, A3, B2, and C licenses are not permitted for driving this type of vehicle. The B1 license allows the holder to drive medium-sized passenger vehicles (including city buses with a capacity of 10 to 19 passengers) and also permits driving vehicles under the C1, C2, C3, C4, and M license categories. According to Article 9 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the permitted vehicle types for motor vehicle drivers are categorized in the following order: large passenger vehicles, tractor-trailers, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed cargo vehicles, three-wheeled cars, small automatic transmission passenger vehicles for the disabled, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and trams. The application requirements for a B1 driver's license are as follows: Age requirement: The applicant must have held a (C1) license for at least three years and be between 21 and 50 years old. Additional license requirement: To apply for an additional (B1) license, the applicant must not have any record of a full score (12 points) in the current scoring cycle (this year) or the most recent scoring cycle (last year). The application must be submitted to the vehicle management office in the applicant's registered residence, as regulations stipulate that the application for an additional (B1) license can only be processed at the vehicle management office in the driver's registered residence, not at temporary residence locations. Passing the exams: After successfully passing the subject one, subject two, and subject three exams, the applicant will obtain a driver's license with the B1 vehicle type endorsement.

What are the penalties for roadside parking violations caught on camera?

Motor vehicles parked illegally on the roadside will be fined if caught on camera. According to Article 93 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, for violations of laws and regulations regarding motor vehicle parking or temporary stopping, authorities may point out the illegal act, issue a verbal warning, and order immediate departure. Below are relevant details about roadside parking: 1. Prohibited parking situations: Parking is prohibited on the white dashed lines of pedestrian crossings, as these are designated for pedestrian passage. 2. Related penalties: If the driver is not present or refuses to leave immediately, obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians, a fine will be imposed, and the vehicle may be towed to a location that does not obstruct traffic or to a designated area by the traffic management department. The traffic management authorities must not charge the vehicle owner for towing and should promptly inform them of the vehicle's location. If the vehicle is damaged due to improper towing methods, the authorities are legally responsible for compensation.

What are the reasons why the Volkswagen Lamando won't start?

There are several possible reasons why a Volkswagen Lamando may fail to start: 1. The starter motor is damaged, preventing the vehicle from starting. This can be identified by sound - if a hissing sound comes from the starter compartment, it indicates the starter is working. No sound suggests the starter itself is damaged. 2. Insufficient battery voltage. If the battery doesn't have enough power, the vehicle won't start. 3. A damaged fuel pump (due to prolonged use) fails to supply fuel, causing starting failure. 4. The gear is in D (Drive) position, preventing ignition. This is the car's self-protection mechanism to prevent the vehicle from lurching forward after ignition. 5. The timing belt or timing chain has skipped teeth, causing no cylinder pressure in the valves and preventing normal startup. 6. The vehicle has no fuel.

What to Do When There's Water Leakage Inside the Engine?

Engine internal water leakage can be handled as follows: First, identify the leaking component. If it's a water pipe leak, applying sealant and reinstalling usually suffices. For a damaged seal ring, replacement is necessary. If the radiator in the engine compartment is leaking, welding repairs or direct replacement with a new part are common solutions. Additional information: 1. The engine compartment typically includes the engine, air filter, battery, engine exhaust system, throttle valve, radiator fluid reservoir, relay box, brake booster pump, throttle cable, windshield washer fluid reservoir, brake fluid reservoir, fuses, etc. The car engine's three-way pipe is a component of the engine cooling system, responsible for branching the coolant. 2. The engine coolant circulates through internal and external engine pipes to form a cooling and heat dissipation system. Issues with the three-way pipe can also lead to water leakage in the engine compartment.

Must the Clutch Be Depressed When Braking in a Manual Transmission Car?

In a manual transmission car, the clutch must be depressed when braking. Beginners learning to drive in driving schools mostly practice with manual transmission vehicles, and instructors teach them to press the clutch first before applying the brakes. This ensures the car doesn't stall after coming to a stop. Additional Information: 1. Manual transmission, also known as MT, involves manually shifting the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. 2. Working Principle: The pump wheel and turbine form a working pair, similar to two fans placed opposite each other. The wind from one fan drives the blades of the other, with the wind acting as the medium for kinetic energy transfer. If liquid replaces air as the medium for kinetic energy transfer, the pump wheel rotates the turbine through the liquid. By adding a guide wheel between the pump wheel and turbine, a speed difference can be achieved between them through reaction force, enabling variable speed and torque.

Do American Cars Burn Engine Oil?

American cars are not as focused on fuel efficiency as European cars (after all, they are not short on oil), so they are not overly tuned for extreme performance, but they are relatively more stable in terms of performance. Burning engine oil is relatively rare—of course, small-displacement turbocharged American cars are specifically produced by American automakers for the European and Asian markets, as they don’t sell well domestically. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Avoid prolonged engine idling: When idling, the engine consumes far more fuel than during normal driving. Therefore, if the vehicle is not moving for an extended period, such as when parked waiting for someone, it is best to turn off the engine. During cold starts, warming up the car should not exceed 1 minute; maintaining a few minutes of low-speed driving is sufficient. 2. Maintain good driving habits: Gentle and smooth driving is the most fuel-efficient. During the initial acceleration phase, avoid slamming the accelerator. The correct method is to accelerate smoothly and maintain a consistent speed once a certain speed is reached. When driving in congested areas, also pay attention to the road conditions ahead to avoid sudden braking.

What does the LOW-COOLANT indicator light mean in a Buick?

LOW-COOLANT is the antifreeze warning light in Buick vehicles. The reasons for this light to illuminate are as follows: 1. There is a leak in the cooling system. For older Buick models, coolant leaks often occur at the connection points between rubber hoses and metal pipes. The causes of leaks are typically due to aging rubber hoses and insufficient clamping force of the hose clamps. When replacing, it's best to change both the rubber hose and the clamp together. 2. Faulty coolant level sensor. 3. Damaged cylinder head gasket. Determining whether the cylinder head gasket is damaged is relatively simple because when it fails, engine oil from the oil passages will mix with coolant from the water passages, turning into a milky white color. This can be seen by checking the oil dipstick or opening the oil filler cap. In this case, a major engine overhaul is required to replace the cylinder head gasket, and components such as cylinder walls and piston rings should also be inspected for wear.
