After driving a new car for one year, it is necessary to renew insurance (compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance) and perform vehicle maintenance. Below are the relevant details: Insurance Renewal: To renew compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance, the following documents are required: the vehicle's registration certificate; the individual's ID card, driver's license, and household registration booklet; the previous year's car insurance policy. If the policyholder is a company, the business license of the company is also required. Additionally, copies of these documents need to be prepared. Introduction to Car Maintenance: Car maintenance, also known as vehicle servicing, refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, and extend the vehicle's service life.

One year after purchasing a new car, there are two main procedures to handle: 1. Insurance renewal, especially compulsory traffic insurance must be paid on time, otherwise driving without it will result in fines and penalty points; Additionally, you can check if there are more favorable packages for third-party liability insurance and vehicle damage insurance, such as renewing with the original insurer or comparing prices with another company. 2. Regarding the annual inspection, new cars are exempt from inspection for 6 years, but after the first year, there is no need for an inspection. You only need to apply for the inspection exemption mark online every two years by uploading the vehicle license information through the 12123 APP or WeChat mini-program, which is very simple. At the same time, it is recommended to perform regular maintenance, such as changing the engine oil and filters, to prevent premature engine wear. This not only extends the lifespan of your beloved car but also saves money on major repairs later, as addressing minor issues early is more cost-effective. I never submit fake documents to avoid trouble. Now, the car runs smoothly, and I don’t worry about daily commuting.

Does a missing piece of brake pad affect usage?

Generally, a missing piece of brake pad has minimal impact. Below is relevant information about brake pads: Function of brake pads: Automobile brake pads, also known as brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drum or brake disc that rotate with the wheels. The friction linings and blocks bear external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration. Composition of brake pads: Automobile brake pads are generally composed of steel plates, adhesive heat insulation layers, and friction blocks. The steel plates are coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored using an SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker to ensure the temperature distribution during coating meets quality standards. Inspection of brake pads: Under normal driving conditions, brake pads should be inspected every 5,000 kilometers. The inspection should include checking the remaining thickness, the wear condition of the pads, whether the wear is even on both sides, and whether the retraction is smooth. Any abnormalities must be addressed immediately. When replacing brake pads, it is essential to use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts to ensure optimal braking performance and minimal wear between the brake pads and discs.

Why Did the Motorcycle Almost Fall When Downshifting at High Speed?

Motorcycles almost falling when downshifting at high speed is due to the effect of inertia. Sudden braking at high speeds can cause the motorcycle to flip over because of the tremendous inertia, which is extremely dangerous. Yielding the right of way while driving: While driving, you should actively yield to vehicles that have the right of way. When encountering non-motor vehicles rushing, you should proactively slow down and yield. When encountering a flock of sheep crossing the road, you should slow down and stop if necessary to avoid them. Three courtesies while driving: When meeting another vehicle on a narrow road, you should practice the three courtesies: slow down first, yield first, and stop first. When encountering an oncoming vehicle occupying your lane, you should actively yield. If the oncoming vehicle has difficulty passing and needs to borrow your lane, you should courteously let them go first. Driving precautions: When driving, ensure safety, be courteous, and drive in a friendly manner. Avoid driving recklessly, taking risks, driving angrily, or operating a faulty vehicle.

Can the noise from a motorcycle's small chain be adjusted?

Loosen the fixing screw by hand, turning it until the screw is halfway released. Use a flat-head screwdriver to rotate the tensioning shaft clockwise to loosen it, and rotate counterclockwise to lock it. At this point, start the vehicle for testing, and the chain noise will disappear.

Can I Change the Rims Without Changing the Tires?

Whether to change the tires after replacing the rims depends on the size of the rims. Reasons: The diameter of the rims: Upgrading to larger rims provides better visual appeal and enhances the subjective driving experience. However, larger rims require the use of larger-sized tires. The width of the rims determines the appropriate tire width. For performance-oriented car owners, wider tires can deliver superior performance. Precautions for Rim Replacement: Avoid blindly increasing rim size for aesthetic purposes, as larger rims can significantly impact ride comfort. Rims are generally categorized into forged and cast types, with varying quality levels, so careful selection is necessary.
