Under normal circumstances, 4S dealerships mortgage the vehicle certificate to banks for loans, which is why they inform car owners that the certificate hasn't arrived yet, preventing owners from receiving it on the spot. Here is detailed information about the vehicle certificate: 1. Overview: The vehicle certificate is another crucial document for a car and is essential for vehicle registration. Only cars with this certificate meet the national standards for motor vehicle equipment quality and related requirements. 2. Function: The QR code on the certificate stores encrypted information using the DES-64-bit encryption algorithm. DES is a strong block cipher that repeatedly uses shift transformations and substitutions. It is a highly secure product cipher system that effectively prevents the forgery of vehicle certificates.

I've encountered this situation several times where the new car arrives but the vehicle certificate hasn't. From my long-term driving experience, the main reason is that dealers often mortgage the certificates to banks for financing and only redeem them after customer payment. Delays occur when the bank processes slowly. The certificate is extremely important - without it, you can't get license plates, purchase insurance, or use the car normally. When I bought my last car, I also waited a week and had to persistently pressure the dealer to get it. My advice is to go directly to the dealership (don't just call) and demand a clear timeline. Also check your purchase contract for clauses protecting your rights. Don't feel embarrassed about pushing them - it's your legal right. If delays affect usage, you should claim compensation. Stay proactive, don't wait passively.

How Long Does It Take to Check Traffic Violations on the Same Day?

If you receive an on-the-spot ticket, you can usually check it within 1 to 2 days, and the fastest you can check it is in the afternoon of the same day. Violations captured by electronic surveillance generally take 3 days to appear, with the latest being 15 days later. Under normal circumstances, traffic violations can usually be checked within 3 to 7 days, as the traffic management department needs time to collect, verify, and input the information into the system, a process that takes three to seven days. If the traffic management department completes this task on the same day as the violation, you can check your violation record at the vehicle management office on that day. Methods to check driving violations: Visit the office halls of the traffic police branches in various districts and counties to check via touch-screen terminals; log in to the external service websites of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of each city: find the vehicle violation query section, enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to query; mobile users can download apps like "Wheel Check Violation," input the license plate number, vehicle engine number, and other details like the province and city, to check vehicle violation information in real time.

What is the maximum age limit for obtaining a B2 license?

50 years old is the maximum age limit for obtaining a B2 license. B2 license application requirements: According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses', applicants for large truck driving licenses must be between 20 and 50 years old. Large vehicle drivers are required to have a height of at least 1.55 meters. Both eyes must have uncorrected or corrected visual acuity reaching 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. No red-green color blindness is allowed; in terms of hearing, each ear must be able to distinguish the direction of sound sources at a distance of 50 centimeters from a tuning fork; upper limbs must have sound thumbs, and each hand must have at least three sound fingers, among other requirements. Notes for taking the B2 license test: The B2 license is for large trucks and is definitely more challenging to obtain than a C1 license for small cars. There is not much difference in the theoretical test, but during the reversing and yard training, one can feel that large vehicles are harder to control. However, having experience driving small cars can make learning to drive large vehicles relatively easier.

Can I Add Pure Water If The Antifreeze Is Low?

You can add pure water if the antifreeze is low. It is necessary to use the same brand of antifreeze. Different brands of antifreeze may have varying production formulas, and mixing them could lead to chemical reactions between multiple additives, rendering them ineffective. Method for replacing antifreeze: Before completely replacing the antifreeze, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipelines, with a particular focus on the five-way hose. The five-way hose is named for its five connection points to various parts, and the antifreeze flows through it before being distributed to different sections of the car to function. If there is any leakage of antifreeze in this area, replace the hose or resecure the connections as needed. Drain the old antifreeze and then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the antifreeze reservoir, then continue filling the reservoir to allow water to flow continuously through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. The water initially draining from the reservoir may appear slightly pinkish; continue adding clean water until the outflow is clear. Note: Remember to remove the heater hose to drain all the water from the heater. After draining for about an hour, add the new antifreeze through the radiator hose to allow it to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another container of antifreeze to the antifreeze reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. During this time, the coolant level may drop as air is purged from the system. Top up the antifreeze to the maximum mark "MAXT" on the reservoir.

What Are the Hazards of Speeding While Driving?

Hazards of speeding while driving: 1. Speeding affects the safety performance of the vehicle Speeding disrupts the vehicle's operational indices in specific environments, increases the workload and stress on the vehicle, and accelerates the wear and tear of components. This is particularly detrimental to the tires, causing not only jumping and skidding wear but also raising friction temperatures, which can lead to rapid aging and deformation of the tires, increasing the risk of blowouts. According to statistics, highway traffic accidents account for 30% of all accidents in China, with over 70% of these caused by tire blowouts at high speeds. 2. Speeding affects the driver's ability to react promptly and accurately Prolonged speeding alters the driver's response to weak stimuli, causing reactions to stimuli that should not provoke a response and delayed reactions to those that should. 3. Speeding can sometimes lead to errors in judgment When making decisions, drivers rely not only on sensory input but also on experience-based analysis and judgment. During variable-speed driving, unexpected situations require immediate decisions, but even quick thinking takes time. Some accidents occur in the very moment a decision is being made. 4. Speeding makes it difficult to shift attention When speeding, drivers must focus on the road ahead while constantly overtaking and meeting other vehicles. Each maneuver requires shifting attention from outside to inside the car (operating brakes, clutch, steering, and acceleration) and checking instruments. These rapid shifts in attention over a few seconds can lead to fatigue and accidents. 5. Speeding increases the frequency of overtaking and meeting other vehicles, leading to fatigue Reduced following distances and the overwhelming number of external situations consume significant mental and physical energy, making drivers prone to fatigue and drowsiness over time, which can easily result in accidents. 6. Speeding reduces the driver's ability to judge speed accurately At high speeds, drivers not only misjudge their own vehicle's speed but also underestimate the speeds of pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. This can lead to underestimating the speed and distance of oncoming vehicles when overtaking, as well as the required distance to complete the maneuver. Delayed reactions in such situations often result in collisions or scrapes. 7. Speeding weakens the driver's spatial awareness The faster the speed, the farther the focus point. At speeds above 50 km/h, the focus point often lies 305-601 meters ahead. This forward shift narrows the field of vision and reduces clarity, making it hard to spot small or slowly changing objects until it's too late to react. 8. Speeding prevents drivers from fully and accurately perceiving changes inside and outside the vehicle Safe driving relies first on human perception, which requires sufficient time. If the speed is too high, there isn't enough time to gather adequate road information. When perception aligns with reality, experience might still allow for safe driving, but on unfamiliar roads, the likelihood of accidents increases significantly. Speeding only saves a little time but comes with much higher risks. It's not worth gambling with your life. Finally, every speed limit sign on highways is carefully placed by traffic police based on laws, regulations, and lessons from past accidents. Please adhere to them strictly.
