When the driving license expires, meaning the inspection of the driving license exceeds the validity period, the vehicle owner should promptly visit the local vehicle management office for a vehicle inspection. Otherwise, the vehicle will not be legally allowed on the road. Before the inspection, the owner must prepare all necessary materials, including the original motor vehicle driving license, ID card, and other required documents. How to check the driving license's validity period: 1. Driving License. Look at the driving license; the registration date at the bottom of the main page indicates the month for the vehicle's annual inspection, with the deadline being the last day of that month. Similarly, the duplicate copy of the driving license will have a printed note stating 'Inspection valid until XXXX year XX month,' and the inspection can be done up to three months in advance (including the inspection month). 2. Annual Inspection Label. On the white side of the annual inspection label, it prints 'Inspection valid until XXXX year XX month,' which is the final deadline month for the inspection. Again, this can be done up to three months in advance. 3. Compulsory Insurance Policy. The compulsory insurance policy includes the vehicle's registration date, similar to the first point, where the registration month is the month the vehicle requires inspection.

Does a small scratch on the car door require repainting the entire panel?

No need for a full repaint, just a local touch-up repair is sufficient. Minor scratches on a car can be remedied with polishing and waxing. However, if the scratch is deep or large, it should be repaired at a professional auto body shop to avoid uneven color from DIY fixes. Below is relevant information: Automotive Painting: Automotive painting refers to applying a layer of paint to the car's surface to protect it. Typically, baked enamel is used for automotive painting. In automobile manufacturing plants, after the frame and body are welded, the next step is painting. Types include standard paint, metallic paint, and pearl paint. The automotive painting process involves applying putty, sanding, and painting. Automotive paint types include: standard paint; metallic paint; pearl paint; clear coat; matte paint. Composition: Components of automotive paint. Automotive paint generally consists of four basic components: film-forming substances (resins), pigments (including extender pigments), solvents, and additives. The film-forming substance is the main component of paint, responsible for keeping the pigment bright, making it durable and adhesive to the surface, and determining the type of paint. Film-forming substances are divided into oils and resins.

Is rear quarter panel cutting considered a major accident?

Rear quarter panel cutting is considered a major accident. In rear-end collisions, the rear bumper is the most vulnerable part, followed by the rear quarter panel. When a rear quarter panel undergoes cutting and welding repairs, the welded areas are exposed cast iron without paint protection, making them highly susceptible to rust. Specific reasons: While rear quarter panel cutting doesn't affect vehicle handling performance, the cutting and welding repairs require careful application of sealant to prevent rust at the weld points. Since the welded areas are exposed cast iron without paint protection and prone to rust, this qualifies as a major accident. Treatment methods for rear quarter panel damage: The rear quarter panel (also called rear apron) is the second most vulnerable part in rear-end collisions after the bumper. Replacing a rear quarter panel requires drilling out each weld point individually, so the decision between replacement and repair depends on the actual situation. If the rear quarter panel has minor dents, they can be gradually pulled out using a frame or slide hammer without cutting. However, if the deformation is severe, especially if the frame rail is damaged, then the rear quarter panel must be cut out.

Can a C2 Driver's License Drive a 7-Seater SUV?

C2 driver's license only allows driving automatic transmission 7-seater SUVs. The C2 driver's license is a common type in daily life, which stipulates that holders can only drive automatic transmission vehicles with fewer than 9 seats and a length not exceeding 6 meters. Differences between C1 and C2: Permitted vehicle types differ: The C1 license permits driving small and micro passenger cars, as well as light and micro cargo vehicles, and light, small, and micro special operation vehicles. The C2 license permits driving small and micro automatic transmission passenger cars and light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicles. Learning content differs: The C2 license does not involve gear shifting or clutch operation, reducing the likelihood of stalling, making the operation relatively simpler. The C1 manual transmission requires coordination of clutch operation and gear shifting during tasks, presenting higher difficulty and more complex operations. Training costs differ: Generally, the training fee for a C2 license is slightly higher than that for a C1 license. Examination vehicles differ: There is no difference in the examination subjects and procedures between C1 and C2 licenses; both require passing subjects one to four. The only difference lies in the examination vehicles, as the C2 license does not require manual clutch control or gear shifting.
