Whether the car is flooded while parked on the roadside or stalls after driving into a waterlogged area, do not attempt to restart the engine or move the vehicle. Ensure your safety first, then promptly take photos of the vehicle damage and the scene for subsequent damage assessment. Call your insurance company to report the incident and wait for rescue. Make sure to report the claim within 48 hours of the incident; otherwise, the insurance company will not compensate.

Can a blue-plate motorcycle carry passengers?

No. Reason: Blue-plate motorcycles are classified as light motorcycles, which are not allowed to carry passengers according to relevant regulations. Therefore, carrying passengers on a blue-plate motorcycle violates road traffic safety regulations and will result in a warning and a one-point deduction on the driver's license. Legal Basis: Article 90 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states that motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road passage will be given a warning. If this law has other provisions, penalties shall be imposed in accordance with those provisions. Article 55 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that motor vehicles carrying passengers must comply with the following regulations: the rear seat of a motorcycle must not carry minors under the age of 12, and light motorcycles must not carry passengers.

Do I Need to Retake the Written Test When Switching from Manual to Automatic Transmission?

No. Here are the details: Reason: During the examination process for a C1 driver's license, you can switch to a C2 driver's license because the C1 license covers the C2 vehicle type. Since you have already passed the written test (Subject 1), you do not need to retake it after switching to a C2 license. You can apply to the driving school to change to a C2 license, and the school will handle the modification of the registered license type at the vehicle management office. Examination: Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not attend the retake or fail again, the examination process ends, and you must reschedule the test. However, for Subject 2 and Subject 3, the rescheduling must be done at least ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test, the passing scores for the road driving skills test remain valid.

How Many Kilometers Before Changing Antifreeze Normally?

Antifreeze is generally changed every two years, though some suggest 4-5 years or longer. Follow the owner's manual for guidance. If no specific interval is stated, determine the need for replacement based on the antifreeze's freezing point or condition. Antifreeze Replacement Intervals: For vehicles with prolonged operation, such as taxis, high-quality antifreeze should typically be replaced annually. For vehicles with shorter operation times, replacement every two years or every 30,000 kilometers is sufficient. To prevent excessive foaming, which reduces heat exchange efficiency between the antifreeze and engine components, ensure the product is within its validity period when adding it. Long-life antifreeze can remain effective for up to three years. If suspended particles, sediment, or signs of deterioration/discoloration are observed in the antifreeze, replace it promptly and flush the system. How to Check for Low Antifreeze Levels: Monitor the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If illuminated, it likely indicates low antifreeze levels, though it could also signal excessively high cylinder temperatures. Inspect the antifreeze reservoir. If the level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving; add antifreeze immediately. Check the water level markers on the antifreeze tank. The normal antifreeze level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. If it falls below the minimum mark, it indicates a deficiency.
