During vehicle transfer, the Vehicle Registration Certificate may be at the DMV. The Vehicle Registration Certificate is the legal proof of vehicle ownership. The DMV oversees driver's license tests. Below is detailed information about the driver's license test: 1. Overview: The driver's test (motor vehicle driver's test) is a qualification exam organized by the DMV under the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driver's test can one obtain a driver's license and legally operate a motor vehicle. 2. Content: The motor vehicle driver's test consists of three parts: the traffic laws and regulations knowledge test, the field driving skills test, and the road driving skills and safe driving knowledge test. The test content and passing standards are uniform nationwide, with specific test items determined by the type of vehicle being licensed for.

Last time I sold my car, I went through the entire vehicle file transfer process, keeping the vehicle registration certificate (big green book) in my possession the whole time. As the owner, I had to bring the registration certificate to the DMV to complete the procedures. Before the transfer, I contacted the DMV to schedule an appointment. It's advisable to make a photocopy of the registration certificate in advance as a backup, in case the original gets lost and causes delays. The entire process requires submitting the original registration certificate, ID card, and vehicle-related documents. The staff will verify the information before processing the transfer. Upon completion, the updated registration certificate will be issued to the new owner. During the transfer process, it's crucial to keep the registration certificate secure to prevent fraudulent claims. If you can't go immediately, don't leave it in the car—I prefer to lock it in a drawer. If it gets lost midway, apply for a replacement promptly to avoid complications with the ownership transfer. Regularly checking the safekeeping status of the registration certificate can save a lot of hassle.

What is the difference between AT tires and MT tires?

The differences between AT tires and MT tires lie in their tire characteristics: 1. HT Highway Tire Characteristics: HT tires have relatively soft sidewalls and fine tread patterns, offering excellent quietness and comfort. They perform exceptionally well on paved roads and have light off-road capabilities, but they are not suitable for high-intensity off-roading. 2. MT Off-Road Tire Characteristics: MT tires are the opposite of HT tires, featuring hard sidewalls and exaggerated tread blocks with noticeably larger gaps between them. This design facilitates slow mud expulsion or high-speed mud slinging when driving in muddy conditions, and it enhances traction on harsh terrains, such as uneven rocky surfaces. Additionally, MT tires produce significant noise when driven on highways, and vibrations from the tread blocks can be felt at speeds below 10 km/h. They are also more prone to losing control when driven on wet paved roads.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Starting an Automatic Transmission Car?

Automatic transmission cars may produce abnormal noises when starting due to the following reasons: 1. Engine noise: Abnormal noise from the engine indicates that there may be multiple issues in the engine compartment. Most people can identify the noise as coming from the engine compartment based on the sound source. The noise is usually a sharp metallic sound or a whistling noise. When the engine produces abnormal noises, it should be repaired promptly to prevent further damage. 2. Transmission noise: Abnormal noise from the transmission manifests as a "rustling" sound inside the transmission while driving, which disappears when the clutch or accelerator is pressed. There may also be a whistling-like sound during gear shifts. If a specific gear produces noise, it is definitely related to the components affecting that gear's transmission. If all gears produce noise, it is often due to a fault in the constant-mesh gear shaft or insufficient transmission oil.

What to Do When the Brake Caliper Makes Metal Clanking Noises?

Remove the two caliper pins on the brake pump and apply grease, or replace all non-rubber caliper pins with rubber ones. Below is an introduction to brake calipers: 1. Overview: A caliper is a tool for measuring length, categorized into non-dial calipers and dial calipers. External calipers are used to measure the outer diameter of a cylinder or the length of an object, while internal calipers are used to measure the inner diameter of a cylindrical hole or the width of a groove. 2. How to Use Calipers: For external calipers, place one measuring surface against the end of a steel ruler and align the other measuring surface with the desired measurement mark, ensuring both surfaces are parallel to the ruler. The method for using internal calipers is similar, except that the end of the steel ruler must rest against an auxiliary plane, with one foot of the internal caliper also against this plane.

When Will the Mandatory Scrapping of Motorcycles Be Abolished?

So far, the regulations regarding motorcycle scrapping have not changed. However, the 13-year mandatory scrapping policy for motorcycles will soon be abolished, though the specific changes are still under discussion. Reasons for abolishing the policy: 1. Fewer riders: The number of motorcycle riders is very small, making it a niche demand. Some even spend large sums of money on motorcycles just for collection purposes. Additionally, the quality of motorcycles has improved significantly compared to the past, making the 13-year mandatory scrapping rule no longer suitable for current conditions. 2. Infrequent use: Many motorcycles that are not frequently used remain in like-new condition even after 13 years, with low mileage. Some owners are unwilling to discard their motorcycles that have reached the scrapping age and instead keep them at home as memorabilia. However, these memorabilia cannot be driven on the road and take up significant space.

How to Reset Porsche Tire Pressure Monitoring System Malfunction

First, turn the one-touch start button on the left side of the steering wheel to start the vehicle; otherwise, the tire pressure cannot be reset. Press the custom button on the right side of the multifunction steering wheel. Then press the + button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel. Finally, press the lever below the steering wheel and pull it downward to select the clear function. Afterward, observe the tire pressure information on the dashboard to confirm the tire pressure has been reset. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light comes on while driving, remain calm and do not panic. Immediately reduce your speed, avoid sharp steering and sudden braking, and check the tires right away. If you have a portable inflator or tire pressure gauge, pull over to the side of the road to check and inflate each tire. If not, drive slowly to the nearest service area, auto repair shop, or 4S store to adjust the tire pressure to normal levels before resetting the tire pressure light. Apart from using a specialized diagnostic tool to clear the fault code and reset the tire pressure light, models equipped with a tire pressure reset button can also be manually operated when the tire pressure is normal.

How many points are deducted for the car body touching the line in the reverse parking test of Subject 2?

In the reverse parking test of Subject 2, touching the line with the car body results in a deduction of 100 points. Here are the specific details: 1. Scoring rules: In Subject 2 reverse parking, touching the line with the mirrors (rearview mirrors) does not count as crossing the line. As long as the car body or wheels do not touch the line, it is not considered crossing the line, since the rearview mirrors are very protruding and are not included in the car body crossing the line range. Deductible items in reverse parking include not following the prescribed route or sequence of driving, which directly results in a deduction of 100 points, car body crossing the line deducts 100 points, failing to park properly in the reverse parking deducts 100 points, and stopping midway deducts 100 points. 2. Score confirmation: For Subject 2, if you fail the test once, you can retake it once. If you do not participate in the retake or fail the retake, the test is terminated, and the applicant should reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of rescheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill tests cannot exceed five times. If the fifth rescheduled test is still failed, the results of other subjects that have been passed will be invalidated.
