The solutions for adding the wrong fuel to a car are: 1. When high-grade fuel is mistakenly replaced with low-grade fuel, short-term use will not cause damage to the engine; 2. If gasoline is mistakenly replaced with diesel, the owner should contact a repair shop as soon as possible to clean the fuel tank and fuel system and conduct a comprehensive inspection of the engine, taking care not to ignite the vehicle to avoid damage; 3. If diesel is mistakenly replaced with gasoline, the fuel must be replaced immediately. The precautions for refueling a car are: 1. Refuel in the morning or evening to avoid direct sunlight at noon; 2. Add more fresh fuel before long-distance trips; 3. Do not exceed the upper limit of the fuel tank; 4. Park and turn off the engine, and shut off the power when refueling.

No, you must carry your physical driver's license. Here are the relevant details: Penalties for driving without a license: If you do not carry your motor vehicle driver's license with you, regardless of whether the driver commits any traffic violations during operation, they are not allowed to continue driving the vehicle. The traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the motor vehicle and require the driver to provide their driver's license. Different measures will be taken based on the circumstances of the provided license. Important notes: If you forget to bring your driver's license when going out, you may provide your driver's license number (ID number) to the traffic police for verification to prove you're not driving without a license. The traffic police may release you after verifying your license information through the call center, or they may legally deduct 1 point and impose a fine before releasing you.

It is recommended to always carry your original driver's license when going out.
