Take the original driver's license of the motor vehicle driver and the original ID card of the person; three one-inch white background color photos of the person; and a physical condition certificate, and go to the vehicle management office. After arriving at the vehicle management office, receive and fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form", and paste the photos on the form. The motor vehicle driver applies for a replacement license at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued.

I panicked a bit when my electronic driver's license expired last year, as I was used to driving to and from work. Realizing it had been overdue for a few weeks, I quickly parked my car and called a designated driver. Back home, I checked the Traffic Management 12123 App for renewal instructions—it was quite convenient: just upload a recent photo and a simple medical report, and the system processes it automatically. I opted for the online application, and the next day, the app updated with my new electronic license—no need to queue at the vehicle management office. But I'd remind everyone not to risk driving with an expired license; fines can run into thousands if caught. It's wise to set a phone reminder for the expiration date to prevent issues. While electronic licenses are efficient, once expired, they're as good as useless—timely renewal saves a lot of hassle.

As someone who frequently uses mobile apps, I find handling an expired electronic driver's license quite simple. Just use the official app like Traffic Police 12123, click on the 'Driver's License Service' on the homepage, and select 'License Renewal Application.' Upload photos of the front and back of your ID card and your medical examination proof, fill in your personal information, pay a small handling fee, and the system will generate a new electronic driver's license within a few working days after review. The app can also set expiration reminders to help us prepare for renewal in advance. If the review is slow, I recommend going to the nearby vehicle management office for faster on-site processing. Remember, don't drive after expiration; use a temporary paper license or ask a friend to drive for you as a transition. In the digital age, renewing your driver's license is quick and hassle-free, and once you get used to this process, traveling becomes more reassuring.

Expired digital driver's licenses must be taken seriously. I've found that once expired, they become as invalid as physical ones, and driving with one can result in points deduction or even fines. Immediately stop using an expired digital license; prioritize online renewal by submitting an application through the official app, or visit the DMV for in-person processing. Don't touch the steering wheel before renewal - safety is no small matter. If urgent travel is needed, consider taxis or public transport. Such minor oversights can lead to major troubles, so regularly checking your license status prevents problems.

What is the Difference Between 4S Store Spray Paint and Original Factory Paint?

4S store spray paint and original factory paint differ in the following aspects: 1. Variety: Original factory paint refers to the paint applied during production in the factory, with the topcoat typically being amino paint that undergoes high-temperature baking. Currently, 4S stores mainly use polyurethane paint, which cures at room temperature or dries through low-temperature baking. 2. Repair level: While 4S stores can achieve the effect of original factory paint, it is not the genuine original factory paint. Processes like electrophoresis within the original factory paint cannot be replicated by 4S stores or repair shops; they can only repair the top three layers: the primer layer, color layer, and clear coat layer. 3. Lifespan: The lifespan of 4S store spray paint is shorter compared to original factory paint. The quality of the spray paint largely depends on paint mixing, the spraying environment, and the technical skill of the workers. Paint mixing may seem simple, but achieving the right mix is not easy. Complex car paints use color codes and computer analysis for tinting, while simpler ones involve manual addition of colorants and comparative tinting, adjusted bit by bit. It is impossible for the mixed paint to perfectly match the original factory paint, but the color difference is generally unnoticeable to the naked eye.

Why was the Geely Haoyue discontinued?

Geely Haoyue has not been discontinued. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Appearance: The style of the Geely Haoyue is similar to most models in the Geely family, leaning towards a sporty type. Although the design of the front is not exaggerated at all, it does not lack a sense of fashion due to the use of the latest family design language. 2. Body dimensions: The length, width, and height of the Geely Haoyue are 4835 1900 1780mm, with a maximum wheelbase of 2815mm, which is very excellent among models of the same level. The body contour of the Geely Haoyue is very square, and combined with its burly size, it easily gives a sense of oppression. Moreover, the whirlwind-style wheels of the Geely Haoyue are also very handsome, creating a quite strong sporty aura.

How to Use Cruise Control in Volkswagen Lavida?

Here is how to use the cruise control in Volkswagen Lavida: 1. The cruise control switch of Volkswagen Lavida is located on the lower left side of the steering wheel. Its main functions include turning off/resuming cruise control, setting speed limits, speed adjustment, and distance adjustment for the sports version. 2. Pressing CNL cancels the cruise control, while 0/1 turns it off. Press RES to resume cruise control. 3. The cruise control function does not activate immediately after turning on the switch. The SET button is used to set the desired speed. (Note: It can only be activated when the speed is above 30km/h.) 4. The silver buttons are used to adjust the speed value, with the left/right buttons controlling speed decrease/increase respectively. 5. The middle cylindrical button can also be used to manually set the following distance. Precautions for using cruise control are as follows: 1. Cruise control does not have automatic braking function, while adaptive cruise control is more intelligent and solves this problem. However, full automation of electronic devices still needs gradual improvement, so drivers should remain attentive to road conditions. 2. When the driver presses the brake pedal, cruise control stops working. The speed value is not cleared and can be restored to continue cruising. 3. In situations like heavy rain or winding mountain roads, please turn off the cruise function and switch to careful manual driving. 4. On downhill slopes, the vehicle may accelerate. Use the foot brake to assist and turn off cruise control if necessary.
