After the vehicle has driven through water, do not attempt to start it. At this point, the car owner needs to push the vehicle out of the deep water area to prevent it from remaining submerged. Never try to restart the engine after driving through water. Immediately call for a tow truck and have the car inspected at a repair shop. Otherwise, it may cause engine damage and void any insurance claims.

Can painted wheels pass the annual inspection?

Painted wheels can pass the annual inspection, but the color change needs to be registered at the vehicle management office. Below is relevant information about vehicle annual inspections: 1. Introduction: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for vehicles according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." Vehicle annual inspections help promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. Relevant regulations on vehicle annual inspections are stipulated in documents such as the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law." Some preparations are required before the inspection (such as knowing relevant information, online appointments, procedures, and issues to pay attention to) to ensure a smooth and successful pass. There are initial and regular annual inspections, as well as some related policies. 2. Timing: Vehicles can apply for an annual inspection within three months before the inspection date. It is best to apply two months or more in advance, rather than waiting until just a few days before the inspection deadline. Additionally, before the 10th of each month, inspection stations have relatively fewer appointments, making it an ideal time to avoid queues. The number of vehicles increases in the middle of the month, and the end of the month is the peak period.
