Here are the materials required for the transfer of a used car: 1. The seller needs the original and photocopy of ID card, original and photocopy of vehicle registration certificate, original and photocopy of driving license, original and photocopy of the original purchase invoice, and the tax payment certificate for vehicle purchase tax. 2. The buyer needs one original ID card, three photocopies, the motor vehicle registration, transfer, and cancellation form, and the transfer application form. In purchase-restricted areas, the original and three photocopies of the personal passenger car quota certificate are required. If the buyer is from another city, a temporary residence permit valid for a certain period is needed. Additional information: The transfer process of a used motor vehicle is an essential procedure in the buying and selling of used cars. Vehicle transfer is essentially changing the ownership of the vehicle, and failing to transfer the vehicle can cause inconvenience to both the buyer and the seller.

Last time I helped a friend with a used car transfer, I prepared a lot of documents. The seller's original ID card and a copy were required, and the buyer needed to bring theirs as well. The vehicle registration certificate (the big green book) and the vehicle license are mandatory—don't forget these. You also need the compulsory insurance policy to prove the car is insured. Both parties should go to the DMV together to fill out the transfer application form. Sometimes, a photo of the vehicle is needed, which can be taken on-site. It's advisable to make copies of all documents in advance to avoid multiple trips. Check that the vehicle has no outstanding traffic violations, or the transfer won't go through. The transfer fee isn't expensive, so bringing some cash or a card is sufficient. If everything goes smoothly, the whole process can be completed in about an hour—having all the documents ready is key. Different locations might require additional proofs, so it's best to check the local DMV's official website.

What are the consequences of overdue vehicle annual inspection?

The consequences of overdue vehicle annual inspection are: 1. Vehicles that fail to undergo annual inspection on time are not allowed on the road; 2. Driving a vehicle without timely annual inspection will result in 3 demerit points and a fine; 3. Driving without timely annual inspection constitutes illegal driving, and the vehicle may be impounded; 4. Insurance companies will refuse claims for uninspected vehicles, as stipulated in insurance policy terms. The insurance contract only covers qualified and legal vehicles. Apart from refusing compensation for accidents involving overdue-inspection vehicles, insurers will also reject claims for stolen vehicles. According to the Compulsory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles, if a vehicle fails to obtain the mandatory inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of its inspection validity period, it will be forcibly scrapped. For private cars, this means biennial inspections for the first 6 years, annual inspections from years 7 to 15, and semi-annual inspections after 15 years. Failure to obtain the inspection compliance mark for three consecutive cycles will result in compulsory scrapping.

How to use the Volkswagen Teramont cigarette lighter?

The usage method of the Volkswagen Teramont cigarette lighter is as follows: Below the car's center console, there is a pressable cigarette lighter (a round button with a cigarette icon). Press this button and wait for 10-60 seconds. The cigarette lighter will pop up (returning to its pre-pressed insertion level) and emit a slight sound as a reminder. At this point, pull out the cigarette lighter and use the heated inner side (the other end of the cylinder) to gently press against the cigarette (the ignition area of a lighter) while inhaling from the cigarette's mouthpiece to light it. Then insert the cigarette lighter back into its socket and release upon hearing a click. Additional information: The cigarette lighter is a standard component in all vehicles, designed to provide a convenient ignition source for drivers who smoke. A cigarette lighter is essentially a device used to light cigarettes. However, the commonly referred-to cigarette lighters can also be categorized into those that draw power from the vehicle's electrical system. Some manufacturers produce cigarette lighters not for lighting cigarettes but for drawing power from the car, which are also known as cigar lighters.

How to Use Turn Signals While Driving?

Driving with turn signals involves the following method: Currently, the turn signal switch in cars is mostly installed on the left side of the steering wheel, and its operation can be summarized as "up-right-down-left." Drivers simply need to imagine the turn signal lever as the steering wheel and signal in the direction they intend to turn. The "up-right-down-left" pattern aligns with general habits—downward (counterclockwise) is commonly understood as left, and upward (clockwise) as right. More details are as follows: 1. Automatic turn signal cancellation is not a highly sophisticated feature; it primarily relies on a simple mechanical fork, and most currently available models include this function. 2. When a driver prepares to turn left and manually activates the left turn signal, the steering wheel's return motion during the turn will push the extended turn signal lever back, achieving automatic cancellation. 3. However, automatic cancellation does not work in all scenarios. Aside from malfunctions, it may fail if the steering wheel's rotation angle is insufficient to trigger the cancellation mechanism. 4. Automatic turn signal cancellation is a relatively simple comfort feature that reduces driver actions through basic mechanical design, thereby enhancing driving safety indirectly.

Can You Pass If the Rearview Mirror Crosses the Line During Reverse Parking?

Generally, crossing the line with the rearview mirror during the reverse parking test in the driving exam does not result in a penalty, but this depends on the specific markings at each test site. According to the "Motor Vehicle Driver Training and Examination Syllabus," as long as the vehicle body does not exceed the ground markings during reverse parking, no points are deducted. Since rearview mirrors are protruding, whether they are considered part of the vehicle body depends on how each test site recognizes them. Failing the test occurs if the vehicle body crosses the line, fails to enter the parking space, stops midway, does not follow the prescribed route or sequence, or exceeds the allotted time, all of which result in a 100-point deduction. The full score for the test is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, or deducting 5 points. The rules for the second subject of the motor vehicle driver's license test state that failing occurs if the vehicle stops or rolls back during the test, does not follow voice instructions, or if the wheels or body cross the line. Many students encounter line-crossing issues during the second subject, and "crossing the line" is the most common reason for failing. The main cause of wheel line-crossing is students not mastering the correct timing for steering. Besides missing the steering timing, another reason could be the steering speed not keeping up with the vehicle speed. Subject 2 Deduction Standards: Not wearing a seatbelt: 100-point deduction. Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: 100-point deduction. Not using turn signals (including when starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, or parking); turning signals not used for more than three seconds (note this is easily overlooked!); forgetting to turn off turn signals or using them incorrectly: 10-point deduction. Stalling once: 10-point deduction. Reverse Parking: Not following the prescribed route sequence: 100-point deduction. Vehicle body crossing the line: 100-point deduction. Failing to park properly: 100-point deduction. Before reversing, if both front wheels do not pass the control line: 100-point deduction. Exceeding the 210-second time limit: 100-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Slope Parking and Starting: After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm forward or backward: 100-point deduction. After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm forward or backward: 10-point deduction. After stopping, if starting takes more than 30 seconds: 100-point deduction. Wheels crossing the road edge line while driving: 100-point deduction. Rolling back more than 30 cm when starting: 100-point deduction. After stopping, if the vehicle body is more than 50 cm from the road edge line: 100-point deduction. Not tightening the parking brake after stopping: 10-point deduction per occurrence. After stopping, if the vehicle body is more than 30 cm but less than 50 cm from the road edge line: 10-point deduction per occurrence. Rolling back more than 10 cm but less than 30 cm when starting: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Parallel Parking: After parking, if the vehicle body crosses the line: 100-point deduction. Not using or incorrectly using turn signals when parking: 10-point deduction. Exceeding the 90-second time limit: 100-point deduction. Touching the parking space edge line while driving: 10-point deduction per occurrence. Wheels touching the lane edge line while driving: 10-point deduction per occurrence. Stopping for more than 2 seconds: 5-point deduction per occurrence. 90-Degree Turn: Wheels crossing the road edge line: 100-point deduction. Not using or incorrectly using turn signals during the turn, or not turning them off after the turn: 10-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Curve Driving: Wheels crossing the road edge line: 100-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds: 100-point deduction. Driving without the gear in second or higher: 5-point deduction.
