Where to Place the ETC?

The ETC is generally installed in the upper middle part of the windshield for most vehicles, while for large vehicles like trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower middle part. The appropriate installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof film, which may affect microwave signal transmission, the ETC should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply, the vehicle owner needs to provide their valid ID card and the original and photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate. If the application is made by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also required, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. For company vehicles, the required documents are: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); original ID card of the proxy; original vehicle registration certificate; and the vehicle that needs to have ETC installed. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have windshields with a large rearward tilt angle, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If the ETC is installed without considering this, it may increase the driver's blind spot. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can help avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas of the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Chery QQ308?

The Chery QQ308 has a total of 24 models, classified as microcars, with a fuel tank capacity of 35 liters. It is equipped with two types of engines: a 0.8L 58-horsepower L3 and a 0.8L 52-horsepower L3. The transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed mechanical automatic, with a naturally aspirated intake form for the 0.8L engine. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. Maintenance of the fuel tank includes the following: Drain accumulated water and sediment from the tank, and check for any fuel leaks at the fuel pipe joints and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and vapor valves, ensure that the ventilation holes are clear. The filter screen at the fuel filler neck should remain intact to prevent impurities from entering the tank during refueling and clogging the fuel lines. The sealing gasket on the fuel filler cap should also be intact to prevent fuel from spilling out while driving.

What are the reasons for the automatic cancellation of the Subject 1 test appointment?

The reason for the automatic cancellation of the Subject 1 test appointment is that the number of candidates exceeds the maximum capacity that the test center can accommodate on that day. If it is impossible for all candidates to take the test on that day, some appointments will be canceled. The content of the Subject 1 test includes basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; basic knowledge of safe driving and civilized driving; and fundamental knowledge related to motor vehicle driving operations. The Subject 1 test process is as follows: First, follow the instructions of the staff to collect your personal driving school file in order in the waiting area; carry and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer. Please note that you must turn off your mobile phone when entering the test area, no loud noise is allowed, and law textbooks are not permitted in the test area (or should be placed in your bag). After the test, keep your ID card safe and hand in your file to the "File Submission Window" at the front of the test center. Candidates who pass the test will sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit and then leave the test center. Candidates who fail the test can leave the test center immediately and wait for the driving school staff to notify them of the retake time.

Can the photo on a driver's license be changed?

The photo on a driver's license can be changed, but it cannot be replaced privately. This is because the vehicle management office system records electronic photos, ID information, and other details of the driver. If the photo is changed without authorization by staff, the photo on the license will not match the system records. After changing the driver's license photo, carefully inspect the main page of the license. You will notice that part of the stamp's imprint on the photo is closely fitted to the main page. Unauthorized photo replacement constitutes altering or forging a driver's license. Penalties for unauthorized photo replacement: According to relevant regulations, altering, forging, or using an altered or forged driver's license will result in confiscation of the license, a direct deduction of 12 points, and a fine. If caught driving with an altered or forged license, in addition to confiscation and a fine, the vehicle will be impounded, and the offender will face administrative detention for up to 15 days. Methods for changing the driver's license photo: The photo on a driver's license can be updated using the portrait information recorded during driving school enrollment or by taking a new photo on-site after passing the fourth subject test or by providing a new ID photo. For the former, you can take a set of one-inch, white-background, color, bareheaded front-facing photos yourself and inform the staff at the test center during the fourth subject test to replace the photo during the license issuance process. Additionally, you can contact the driving school to re-record the portrait information. For the latter, simply resubmit the new photo.

What does R mean on a driver's license?

Driver's license status R indicates that the license has not undergone annual review and has been deregistered by the system. Here is the relevant information: 1. Annual inspection: An A2 license should be inspected annually, and a health certificate must be submitted. The license will not be invalidated, but you need to go to the traffic police driver management department to handle the license restoration process. For a C license, it is reviewed and renewed every 6 years. 2. Overdue by more than one year: If you fail to participate in the annual inspection normally and it is overdue by more than one year, the license will definitely be deregistered. Therefore, the current license status should be deregistered and unusable. To obtain a driver's license again, you must first go to the local vehicle management office to complete the deregistration procedure, then re-enroll in a local driving school for training and exams.

How Long Can a Car Battery Sit and Still Start the Engine?

There is no fixed number of days for how long a car battery can sit normally, as it depends on the battery capacity and its level of degradation. Theoretically, a car can sit for up to two months without affecting the battery's normal operation. Battery Drain: The battery will still experience natural drain (approximately 1% per day). Poor Vehicle Condition: For cars in poorer condition, the battery may lose charge within about a week. However, there's no need to worry excessively—simply driving normally for one to two hours can restore the battery to its normal charge level. If the battery is already severely depleted to the point where it cannot start the engine, a jump-start will be required to reactivate it.

Can the annual inspection exceed this month?

Annual inspection cannot exceed this month. Annual inspection: It means the same as annual check, but is more colloquial. Annual inspection refers to the safety inspection of a vehicle conducted every year or every two years, including a comprehensive check of the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, etc. Regulations on annual inspection time: For various types of vehicles, the annual inspection time is as follows: small and micro non-operating passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, once every year; after 15 years, twice every year. Operating passenger vehicles must be inspected once every year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, once every 6 months.
