What Causes the Steering Wheel to Suddenly Become Heavier While Driving?

Here are the reasons why the steering wheel may suddenly become heavier while driving: 1. Vehicle abnormality or malfunction: Check the steering wheel settings, as it could be due to a vehicle abnormality or malfunction. For example, the power steering pump may be damaged, low on oil, or the belt may be faulty. Alternatively, the power steering motor or its module could be problematic. 2. Electronic power steering self-adjustment function: Most new vehicles now use electronic power steering, which allows for adjustable steering wheel effort. This setting is usually found in the vehicle settings or personal preferences on the central console. Mechanical and electronic power steering differ; electronic power steering often has a self-adjustment feature that increases steering effort at high speeds to prevent over-light steering and potential misoperation. Mechanical power steering tends to be heavier, especially at low speeds. 3. Insufficient power steering fluid: Power steering fluid is a medium used in the vehicle's power steering pump to transmit steering force and provide cushioning. The fluid needs to be replaced periodically, and leaks should be checked. When the power steering fluid is low, the steering wheel may feel heavy and sluggish.

Is the driving license valid for life or does it need to be renewed every few years?

The first renewal is after 6 years, and the second renewal is after 10 years. More extended information is as follows: 1. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law": The initial validity period of a motor vehicle driving license is 6 years, with the first year being the probation period.

The motor vehicle driver should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the driving license was issued within 90 days before the expiration of the current license. 2. There are two types of expiration for a driving license: First, annual inspection expiration. If the annual inspection is not conducted on time, the validity of the previous year's inspection expires. Failure to conduct the annual inspection means the vehicle has not undergone the required annual or biennial inspection. Vehicles without a valid inspection are not allowed to drive on public roads, and driving without it will result in penalties. Second, driving license validity expiration. This type of expiration is equivalent to not having a driving license. Vehicles without a valid driving license are also not allowed to drive on public roads and will face the same penalties.
