The spare tire of a Polo is placed under the black partition in the trunk. Here is some information about spare tires: 1. Definition: A spare tire refers to an extra tire for a car, with specifications identical to the original car tire. 2. Types of spare tires: They are categorized into full-size spare tires, non-full-size spare tires, and run-flat tires. 3. Purpose: To facilitate tire replacement in case of a flat tire. 4. Precautions: Car owners should regularly inspect the spare tire. Generally, the aging period of a tire is about 4 years, so the spare tire should be replaced after 4 years. After replacing the spare tire, it should not be used for an extended period because the spare tire is slightly smaller in size than the regular tire, and prolonged use may have certain impacts on the vehicle's braking system, steering system, and suspension system.

I drive a Volkswagen Polo, and the spare tire is located underneath the bottom of the trunk. You lift the floor panel in the luggage compartment, and you'll see a recess where the spare tire is stored, usually accompanied by tire-changing tools like a wrench and a jack. This design is quite convenient as it doesn't take up too much space, especially for young people like me who enjoy road trips—there's still room in the trunk for camping gear and such. However, it's important to note that the Polo's spare tire is sometimes a smaller size, with a speed limit of 80 km/h, so after changing the tire, you should quickly visit a repair shop to fix the original tire and put it back. If you get a flat on the highway during rainy weather, finding the spare tire becomes much easier, and knowing its location in advance can save a lot of hassle.

Is it allowed to make a U-turn in front of a crosswalk?

If there is a U-turn sign in front of the crosswalk and the left side of the car is a dashed line, you can make a U-turn directly without being restricted by traffic lights. If there is a guardrail in the middle of the road, you cannot make a U-turn directly and must cross the crosswalk before making a U-turn. Prohibited U-turn situations are as follows: U-turns are prohibited when there is a 'No U-turn' sign or a 'No Left Turn' sign: If there is a sign prohibiting U-turns, then U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. A U-turn is an extension of a left turn, so if there is a sign prohibiting left turns at an intersection, U-turns are also prohibited there. U-turns are prohibited at crosswalks: U-turns are not allowed at crosswalks. If U-turns are permitted at an intersection, you must cross the crosswalk before making a U-turn and cannot make a U-turn on the crosswalk. U-turns are prohibited when there is no left-turn lane: Even if you are in the leftmost lane, if there is no sign permitting left turns, U-turns are not allowed. U-turns are prohibited within the second left-turn lane: When a vehicle is in the second left-turn lane, it cannot make a U-turn. In the absence of any signs, vehicles can only make U-turns in the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns are prohibited at solid yellow lines: U-turns are not allowed at solid yellow lines. Even if there is a sign permitting U-turns, you must wait for the green light and cross the stop line before making a U-turn. U-turns are prohibited on highways: Crossing the central divider to make a U-turn on a highway is illegal and will result in a fine and 12 demerit points. If you miss an exit on the highway, continue driving to the next exit and leave the highway. Do not attempt an illegal U-turn. Precautions for U-turns: When making a U-turn, you should turn on the left turn signal in advance, the maximum speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, and you must not hinder other vehicles and pedestrians traveling normally.

How Many Years Until a Private Car is Mandatorily Scrapped?

For domestic 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, there is no usage period limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. In addition to the above-mentioned vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Commercial vehicles have scrapping period limits, as follows: Small and mini taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public transport passenger cars have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger cars have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger cars have a scrapping period of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and stamp it with the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period, after inspection and confirmation by the vehicle inspection office that they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the chassis must be cut. The owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can hand over the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to a non-commercial vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping period. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of motor vehicle registration, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number for a new vehicle registration. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation of registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

Remedial Measures for Driver's License Downgrade?

There is no remedial measure; the only option is to apply for an additional driving license. After meeting the specified time requirements, you can apply for the additional driving test. Upon passing the exam, you can obtain a higher-level driver's license. Drivers holding licenses for large buses, trailers, urban buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks will have their highest permissible driving categories revoked by the vehicle management office under the following circumstances, and the driver will be notified to complete the downgrade and license replacement within 30 days: Being involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bearing equal or greater responsibility, without constituting a crime. Accumulating 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle. Failing to undergo the required review for three consecutive scoring cycles. If the driver fails to complete the downgrade and license replacement within the specified time, the vehicle management office will announce the revocation of the driving qualification for the highest permissible category. After completing the downgrade and license replacement, if the driver applies to reinstate the revoked driving category, they must have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before application, and must not have been involved in any traffic accident resulting in death with equal or greater responsibility. Procedure for downgrading the highest permissible driving category and completing the license replacement: After passing the relevant exam, obtain the "Motor Vehicle Driver's Illegal Full-Point Exam Information Feedback Notice" (for Class A and B licenses, downgrade information will be noted on the notice). After the suspension period ends, present your ID card and the "Motor Vehicle Driver's Illegal Full-Point Exam Information Feedback Notice" to the traffic police department where the license was confiscated to retrieve your driver's license. Submit the following documents to the vehicle management office at the issuing location to complete the downgrade and license replacement (if there are no pending traffic violations, the process will be completed within one working day): Original "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form." Original and copy of the driver's ID. Original motor vehicle driver's license. Three recent half-length, front-facing, white-background, color ID photos (if local regulations require a digital photo submission receipt, include it as well).
