Traffic police can check through the online system whether the driver has obtained a driver's license. Generally, as long as you are not driving without a license, the traffic police will not make things difficult for you. In fact, this method is similar to the one above. You can also provide other valid identification information. As long as it is not a fake driver's license, there is no need to worry at all. This can also be used temporarily to avoid showing your driver's license when the traffic police check.

Last time I went on a self-drive trip in Suzhou, I left my driver's license at the hotel and got stopped by traffic police at a highway checkpoint. I quickly opened the 12123 APP to show my electronic driver's license. The officer scanned the QR code to verify it and let me pass. Now that electronic driver's licenses are implemented nationwide, it's super convenient—just download and register in advance. This is a must-have trick for road trips. Even if you lose your physical license, it's no big deal since getting a replacement is easy—just bring your ID to the local DMV, and it takes about ten minutes. If you really can't figure out the electronic version, you can ask a family member to take a photo of your license and send it via WeChat as an emergency workaround. Just make sure the photo clearly shows the license number and expiration date.

What Causes Excessive White Exhaust Smoke?

There are several reasons for a car emitting large amounts of white exhaust smoke: 1. White oil mist: The main reason for milky white oil mist being emitted from the exhaust pipe is poor fuel vaporization, where unburned fuel exits through the exhaust pipe, forming milky white smoke. This is more common when starting the engine in winter due to low temperatures causing poor fuel atomization. Typically, this disappears as the engine warms up after starting. If black smoke appears from the exhaust pipe after the engine has warmed up, it indicates low cylinder pressure or a non-functioning cylinder, which should be checked and addressed. 2. Water vapor white smoke: The main reason for large amounts of water vapor white smoke being emitted from the exhaust pipe, with water droplets at the exhaust pipe outlet, is water vapor formed from coolant entering the cylinder or water content in the gasoline. Check whether the cylinder gasket is damaged, whether the cylinder block has cracks, and whether the cylinder sleeve sealing ring is in good condition.

How Long is the Shelf Life of Opened Engine Oil?

After car maintenance, the remaining but already opened engine oil has a shelf life of about one year, while the oil poured into the engine lasts about six months. Unopened engine oil typically has a shelf life of around five years. Below is more information about engine oil: 1. Mineral Oil: Mineral oil is the residue left after gasoline and heavy oil are refined from petroleum. It is essentially a natural oil with more impurities. It is cheaper compared to semi-synthetic and fully synthetic oils but offers poorer lubrication for the engine and has a shorter usage period. 2. Semi-Synthetic Oil: Semi-synthetic oil falls between mineral oil and fully synthetic oil. It contains a large amount of anti-corrosion additives to enhance the oil's stability and high oxidation resistance. 3. Fully Synthetic Oil: Among these three types of engine oil, fully synthetic oil is the highest in quality and durability, and it is also the most expensive. Generally, it can last for 10,000 to 12,000 kilometers in a car without deteriorating.

How Often Does Mercedes-Benz Undergo a Major Model Update?

Mercedes-Benz undergoes a major model update approximately every 8 to 9 years. For the Mercedes S-Class, the lifecycle is 7 years, with minor updates occurring every 3 years in between. Minor updates are quite frequent, especially shortly after a new model is launched. The primary drivers for model updates are market competition, while the internal factor for extending the lifecycle is cost amortization. Below is relevant information about car model updates: 1. Annual Updates: These are updates made to the product every year. Limited to yearly updates, the changes are generally minor, typically involving adjustments to pricing and configurations. These updates are based on the automaker's follow-up tracking of the model after its launch and adjustments made according to the model's market performance. 2. Mid-cycle Updates: A model's normal lifespan is roughly 5-6 years. During this period, minor updates released each year are referred to as 'monthly tests,' while the 'mid-term test' is the mid-cycle update of the product. 3. Full Model Change: A full model change is the 'final exam' of a product's lifecycle. A model typically undergoes a full redesign every 5-6 years, which involves a complete overhaul of the entire vehicle.

How to bleed the clutch on a Haval H6?

Press the clutch pedal and hold it down, then loosen the bleed screw on the clutch slave cylinder and tighten it again. Press the clutch pedal a few more times without releasing it, then bleed again until all the air is expelled. Related information is as follows: 1. Clutch: The clutch is an important component in the car's transmission system, which can connect or disconnect the engine. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the clutch disengages, and when the pedal is released, the clutch engages. Manual transmission cars require the use of the clutch pedal every time they shift gears or start. 2. Slipping: When driving normally, if the clutch is not needed, do not keep your left foot on the clutch pedal. This will accelerate the wear of the release bearing and may also cause the clutch disc to slip. If the clutch disc slips, it will lead to abnormal wear of the clutch disc.

How to Turn on Bluetooth for ETC?

ETC Bluetooth switch is generally located on the top of the ETC electronic tag. You can turn on the Bluetooth function of the ETC device by pressing the button. After the Bluetooth function is activated, the Bluetooth indicator light will flash or stay on. The automatic activation time is 2 minutes, so please complete the relevant connection work as soon as possible. Once Bluetooth is turned off, it can only be turned on again. Another method to activate the ETC device's Bluetooth is to insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively. ETC Activation Method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth is on." If the screen shows "Tag invalid" when inserting and removing the card twice without attaching the electronic tag, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, you can directly press the button on the top of the electronic tag to turn on the Bluetooth function. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth, open the corresponding mobile app (usually there is a download QR code on the electronic tag), and enter the device activation interface. Click "Device Connection" and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. After successful connection, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation.

Which has a larger ground clearance, the BMW 5 Series or the A6?

The BMW 5 Series has a larger ground clearance. The minimum ground clearance of the Audi A6L is 117mm, while the BMW 5 Series has a ground clearance of 149mm: The minimum ground clearance of sedans generally ranges between 110mm and 150mm, whereas SUVs typically have a ground clearance between 200mm and 250mm. For SUVs, a smaller ground clearance (less than 200mm) indicates poorer off-road performance and a greater focus on on-road capabilities, making them more city-oriented SUVs. Conversely, a larger ground clearance (greater than 250mm) signifies better off-road performance and a stronger emphasis on outdoor capabilities, classifying them as more rugged, off-road-oriented SUVs. Ground Clearance: Ground clearance refers to the distance between the ground and the lowest rigid part of the vehicle. The ground clearance of a vehicle varies depending on whether it is unloaded or loaded. It is also related to the vehicle's load—the heavier the load, the smaller the ground clearance becomes.
