Generally, when traffic police find that a driver has not brought their driver's license, regardless of whether the driver has violated any traffic laws, the driver is not allowed to continue driving the vehicle. The traffic management department of the public security authority should impound the motor vehicle and notify the driver to provide their driver's license. Additional Information: With the current maturity of information technology, an ID card serves as proof for everyone, and relevant information can be queried through the ID card. If you forget to bring your driver's license, you can present your ID card to the traffic police, who can then check the driver's license information through relevant means. Additionally, you can download the 'Traffic Management 12123' app on your phone, where you can also check your driver's license information.

I've been driving for over a decade and have encountered several situations where I forgot my driver's license. The key is to stay calm and not panic. If stopped by the police, honestly admit you forgot your license and comply with their requests. From my experience, many places now accept digital licenses or photos on your phone as temporary proof, which can help avoid unnecessary trouble. However, to be safe, it's advisable to keep a photocopy or a spare copy of your license in your car at all times—this can save a lot of hassle. It's also best to develop a habit of checking your wallet and car keys every time before starting the car to prevent mishaps. Driving safety comes first; don’t let small mistakes distract you, as forgetting your license might result in a small fine or points deduction, affecting future insurance. In short, just be prepared.

As a new driver, I also worried about forgetting my documents. If you realize you didn't bring them after leaving home, don't panic too much. When pulled over by police, honestly explain that you forgot. Just follow their instructions and accept any potential fine - don't try to evade or argue. After returning home, check if your local area has an electronic driver's license app, then take photos of your documents to store on your phone as backup proof. Developing a habit of checking your bag before leaving home can also prevent such oversights. These small issues will become easier with experience - driving is all about taking things step by step.

I drive my kids to school every day and understand how common it is to forget your driver's license. If it happens, don't panic—safe driving comes first, so don't speed up nervously if pulled over by the police. After stopping, calmly explain the situation and cooperate with the inspection. It's best to keep a backup copy or photocopy of your license in a fixed storage compartment in the car for easy access. Teach your children to remind you to check before leaving, making home life more secure. Driving requires attention to small details—these little things can make a big difference.

In digital life, solving such issues is quite convenient. When I forget my driver's license, I can quickly pull out my phone and open the official driver's license app to display the electronic version, which is recognized in many cities. If not set up, a photo can also serve as a quick alternative to avoid the hassle of fines. Technology simplifies daily driving routines, and setting up automatic reminders to bring the license makes it even more worry-free, allowing you to enjoy the efficiency brought by new methods.

What are the causes of ABS failure in the 2016 Santana?

The ABS light can illuminate in various states, each with different causes and solutions, as detailed below: State 1: ABS warning light remains constantly lit (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing area is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting its ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS control module from determining the vehicle speed or calculating the wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Loose connections in the system wiring or poor contact in the ABS relay result in signal issues, leading to system failure. Solution: Inspect wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off during acceleration. Cause: When multiple electrical components are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As the engine speed increases and voltage rises, the ABS light turns off. This may also occur due to insufficient power supply voltage to the ABS system, such as poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity, inspect the charging system, and examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light stays on after engine startup until the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; loose wiring connections in the ABS hydraulic valve body; ABS control module failure. Solution: Loosen and retighten the grounding screw on the hydraulic valve body, cleaning the contact surface if necessary. Check for enlarged gaps in connectors. Replace the ABS or ABS/ASR control module if needed. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: At high speeds, the ABS control module detects a significant discrepancy between rear and front wheel speed signals. This may also occur due to incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's specified tire and wheel rim dimensions, as indicated on the fuel tank cap label. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: With the engine running, press the brake pedal and manually push the brake switch linkage fully downward, then release the pedal to reset its position. Replace the brake light switch if necessary. If the ABS warning light is on, it is advisable to avoid continued driving. An illuminated ABS light indicates a malfunction in the anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, wheel lock-up could cause loss of vehicle control and skidding, preventing the driver from decelerating or adjusting the vehicle's path, posing significant safety risks.

How Long Does It Usually Take for a Flood-Damaged Car to Develop Faults?

A flood-damaged car's operational lifespan depends on the extent of water damage and subsequent maintenance. If the damage is not severe and proper maintenance is performed, the car may run for three to five years without major issues. However, the longer the vehicle remains submerged, the higher the likelihood of faults, including engine and electrical system failures. The biggest concerns with water-damaged vehicles are the engine and electrical systems. Water entering the engine's intake can directly affect its performance, while electrical systems are particularly vulnerable to water exposure. If the car stalls due to water exposure, never attempt to restart it immediately, as this can cause the engine to ingest more water, leading to severe damage. Detailed explanation: Flood-damaged cars pose significant safety hazards, meaning they often suffer long-term consequences. Electrical circuits are prone to short circuits or even fires. Although repairs can be made to some extent, the vehicle will still carry substantial safety risks. Most auto repair shops, including authorized service centers, are reluctant to work on flood-damaged cars due to persistent issues such as contamination-related and electrical system problems.

What is the function of exhaust auxiliary braking?

Exhaust braking is an auxiliary braking method commonly found in various large vehicles powered by diesel engines. It is generally used in situations involving continuous long downhill slopes to replace conventional brake braking, preventing serious accidents caused by overheating due to prolonged friction of the brakes. Vehicles equipped with exhaust braking functionality have an exhaust brake valve installed in the engine's exhaust pipeline. During long downhill descents, the driver activates the exhaust braking switch, causing the exhaust butterfly valve to partially close (but not completely shut) and the engine's fuel system to cut off fuel supply. With the clutch engaged, the engine not only stops producing power but also acts as a load, with the vehicle driving the engine in reverse. Due to restricted exhaust flow, the engine generates resistance, thereby inhibiting the increase in vehicle speed. For large vehicles, the exhaust brake valve alone often cannot provide sufficient braking force. Manufacturers design an additional device on the diesel engine to enhance braking force. This device prevents the engine's exhaust valves from closing properly, keeping them slightly open during both the compression and power strokes. It can be imagined as a syringe with a needle—whether the piston is being inserted or withdrawn, it becomes extremely difficult, thereby achieving higher braking force.

Can the headlight cover be replaced separately or does the entire assembly need to be replaced?

Car headlights cannot have just the cover replaced; the entire assembly must be replaced. This is because the headlight assembly contains many components, and if one of them is damaged and not repaired in time, it may eventually lead to the failure of the entire assembly. However, replacing the assembly is considered a modification to the headlights, and annual vehicle inspections have strict requirements regarding headlight modifications, prohibiting unauthorized changes. Additional information: 1. Annual inspection requirements for headlights: Generally, as long as the original headlight assembly is replaced, it can pass the annual inspection. If during the inspection you are informed that the lights do not meet the brightness requirements, simply adjusting them properly will allow you to pass. However, modifications such as angel eye headlights will not pass the inspection. Additionally, installing LED or xenon lights without lenses will also fail the inspection. 2. Types of headlights: Car headlights typically include halogen, LED, xenon, and laser types, with halogen and LED being the most common.

Can green and red coolant be mixed?

It is not recommended to mix green and red coolants as they have different formulations and components, which may cause chemical reactions. Coolants of the same brand and color can be mixed. Different colors indicate different models, so they should not be mixed, as this may lead to chemical reactions and render the coolant ineffective. 1. Depending on the manufacturers' formulations, there are many different chemical substances present. Mixing them may cause chemical reactions, leading to the coolant becoming ineffective or producing other harmful components for the vehicle. 2. The main component of coolant is generally propylene glycol, which is actually colorless. Manufacturers add various colors to prevent mixing and confusion with other automotive fluids. 3. It is best to use the same brand, model, and color when adding coolant. 4. When replacing coolant, simply clean the radiator before changing it; the color does not matter.

Will the car be affected if half of the tires are submerged but the interior is not flooded?

If the car's tires are half-submerged in water, it will have some impact on the vehicle, but as long as the engine is not started, there won't be significant issues. If the water reaches half the height of the car's wheels, the interior generally won't flood if the seals are intact. However, if the car remains submerged for an extended period or the seals are compromised, water may seep in. If the engine's intake system remains unaffected, drive the car to a 4S shop to have the soaked interior dismantled, cleaned, and dried. Do not attempt to start the engine if the car is submerged. Vehicles are equipped with various electronic components and sensors, and starting the engine while water is inside can cause damage. If your car is submerged, contact your insurance company and a 4S shop immediately. If the water level exceeds the car's chassis, it is considered a flooded vehicle. There are three scenarios for flooded cars: water covering the exhaust pipe but not reaching half the wheel height, water reaching exactly half the wheel height, and water exceeding half the wheel height. Generally, water reaching half the wheel height will affect the car. Below is a detailed explanation: Water covering the exhaust pipe: If the water only covers the exhaust pipe, simply move the car away. Water in the exhaust pipe won't be sucked into the engine, and engine stalling is primarily caused by water entering the intake system, not the exhaust pipe. Water reaching half the wheel height: If the water reaches exactly half the wheel height, the car usually won't leak. However, prolonged submersion or aging seals may cause leaks. In such cases, drive the car to a 4S shop to have the interior dismantled, cleaned, and dried. Water exceeding half the wheel height: If the water exceeds half the wheel height, the engine may take in water, and the interior may leak. Never start the engine in this situation, as it could damage the engine or electronic components. Insurance companies won't cover damages caused by starting a flooded car. Steps to handle a flooded car: First, call your insurance company to report the incident. Request a rescue tow truck and notify your insurance company of the repair shop's address after towing. While waiting for rescue, disconnect the battery terminals to cut off power and shift to neutral. Take photos of the car, including the license plate, for insurance claims. If possible, push the car to a safer area for rescue. Before repairs, ensure the insurance company approves the estimated damages.
