The photo for a motor vehicle driver's license is one inch in size, and it must be a bareheaded photo with a white background. White clothing is not allowed in the photo, and all facial features must be clearly visible. The photo must be taken within the last six months, and photos older than that cannot be used. Below are some important notes regarding an expired driver's license: Legal provisions: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, if a driver's license is not renewed for more than one year after its expiration date, it will be automatically revoked. If it has been expired for more than two years, the driver must pass the subject one exam to restore the license's normal use. If the license has been revoked for more than two years, the driver must reapply for a new one. Expired license: It is particularly important to note that driving with an expired license is not permitted. Driving with an expired license is considered driving without a license or is treated as such. The penalty for driving without a license includes a fine and may also involve detention for up to 15 days. In cases of serious traffic accidents resulting in personal injury or death, criminal liability will be pursued according to the law.

I've been driving for almost twenty years and have renewed my driver's license several times. The photo must be 32mm wide and 22mm high, which is equivalent to the size of a standard one-inch photo. The DMV requires a white-background color photo with a clear frontal view showing both ears, no hats or sunglasses, as these details help the system quickly verify authenticity. I remember once when my self-taken photo was too blurry and got rejected, causing delays, but later when I went to a photo studio, it passed smoothly. The fixed photo size ensures uniform processing and archiving of license cards, making traffic management more convenient and secure. When taking your driver's license photo, I recommend choosing a professional service—don't cut corners by using old photos, as they may expire or become invalid.

At what severity must a sidewall cut on a tire be replaced?

Tire sidewall cuts generally require replacement when the size reaches approximately 4 millimeters. Below are precautions for tire usage: 1. Regularly correct wheel balance: Excessive wheel imbalance will cause high-frequency oscillations during high-speed driving, leading to uneven tire wear and compromising driving safety. After tire repairs, dynamic balance testing and adjustment should be performed, with the single-side dynamic balance test value not exceeding 40 grams. 2. Perform regular tire rotation: To ensure even wear across all tires on a vehicle, tires should be rotated every 5,000 kilometers, and a four-wheel alignment should be performed every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers to prevent abnormal excessive wear. It is prohibited to install tires of different models or with significant wear differences on the same axle.

What Problems Will a Flood-Damaged Car Have in the Later Stage?

Flood-damaged cars are prone to the following problems in the later stage: Moldy Interior: The most obvious and surface-level issue of a flood-damaged car is that the interior is highly susceptible to mold. Most interior materials are water-absorbent, and rainwater contains numerous impurities and bacteria. The relatively enclosed and non-ventilated space inside the car leads to extremely high humidity after flooding. Under such conditions, the car's interior is prone to mold growth. Engine Damage: If the engine has been flooded, forcibly starting the car can cause severe deformation of the connecting rods. Insurance companies often deny claims in such cases. Transmission Failure: If the water level rises above the engine compartment, the transmission is highly likely to be flooded. Once the transmission is flooded, the vehicle may experience issues like slipping, shaking, and rough shifting, which can affect the transmission's lifespan and even lead to complete failure.

How much does fuel consumption increase when using air conditioning in summer?

After turning on the air conditioning, fuel consumption generally increases by 10-15% of the original consumption. Here are some precautions for using air conditioning in summer: 1. Scientific use of air conditioning: When using the air conditioning, pay attention to the direction of the air outlet, which should be tilted upwards, and avoid blocking the outlet with items. In terms of temperature, 26 degrees Celsius is theoretically more suitable. Also, remember to turn on the internal circulation to retain the cold air inside the car, but switch to external circulation for ventilation every half hour to an hour. 2. Strengthen daily maintenance of the air conditioning: Regular cleaning of the pipes, air conditioning filters, and air outlets is essential to ensure good cooling performance. Otherwise, blindly lowering the temperature will only increase fuel consumption.

What is the bulb model for the headlights of the new Sail?

The bulb model for the headlights of the new Sail is H4. Introduction to car headlights: Car headlights, also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, serve as the eyes of a car.

The use and maintenance of car lights cannot be overlooked. Characteristics of xenon lights: Note that color temperature and brightness are fundamentally different concepts. Xenon lights are bright not because of high color temperature but because of high brightness. The unit of brightness is lumens, and the lumen count of xenon lights is generally three times that of ordinary halogen lights. They have low energy consumption and a long lifespan.
