Currently, vehicles are required to have 4 screws installed for the license plate. Failure to install the license plate according to regulations will result in a 12-point deduction and a fine. For vehicles produced earlier that only have two screw holes (left and right), two screws are sufficient. However, vehicles with four screw holes must have all four screws installed. Below is an introduction regarding vehicle license plates: 1. Hazards of a fallen license plate. If a vehicle's license plate is not properly installed and secured, it can easily fall off when driving through waterlogged roads or uneven terrain, resulting in the vehicle being driven without a license plate. Driving without a displayed license plate will incur a 200 yuan fine, a 12-point deduction, and the vehicle may be temporarily impounded. 2. License plate installation standards. When installing a motor vehicle license plate, all installation holes must be fitted with fastening devices that meet GA804 requirements (except when vehicle conditions prevent installation). According to the "Motor Vehicle Safety Technical Specifications," starting from March 1, 2016, newly produced motor vehicles (excluding motorcycles) must have 4 license plate installation holes per plate frame. For vehicles produced before March 1, 2016, fastening devices must be installed according to the number of holes on each plate frame.

Is Summer Underground Garage Humidity Harmful to Cars?

Summer underground garage humidity is harmful to cars. A humid underground garage not only increases the risk of accidents but also affects stationary vehicles. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Braking System: Components such as brake fluid pipes and ABS pipes in the car's braking system, air conditioning hoses in the AC system, car body paint, interior seats, ceiling, carpets, and the car chassis are most affected by humid environments. 2. Principle: Since the car body is made of metal, it is prone to corrosion when exposed to humid air. The braking system can suffer severe rust, and electronic components may also be affected. The high moisture concentration in humid air can corrode the car's paint, reducing its gloss and even causing rust in areas with minor scratches, which is much more harmful than exposure to intense sunlight.

What does the automatic headlight symbol look like?

The symbol for automatic headlights is "AUTO". It must be the "AUTO" in the lighting control area to indicate automatic headlights, as the air conditioning control panel or other locations may also have "AUTO" switches or buttons. In German and American cars, the lighting control adjustment area is usually located on the lower left side of the steering wheel, while in Japanese, Korean, and domestic models, the lighting controls are generally concentrated on the turn signal lever. Precautions for using car headlights: 1. If the other party still does not turn off the high beams: stay calm, focus on observing the road ahead in advance, slow down appropriately, and proceed with caution during the encounter; 2. If the road ahead is an intersection or a complex road section: pull over and wait for the oncoming vehicle with high beams to pass before driving, to avoid hitting pedestrians or other obstacles.

What to Do If Vehicle Emissions Exceed Standards on National Highways?

After detecting excessive vehicle emissions on national highways, the traffic police department will issue an on-site penalty decision based on the national emission standards and the extent of the violation. Typically, this results in a 3-point deduction from the driver's license and a fine of 200 RMB. Vehicles with severe violations may be temporarily impounded. Owners must pay the fine as specified in the penalty decision. Below is relevant information about excessive emissions: 1. Vehicles prone to excessive emissions: This issue is commonly found in older vehicles, such as those over 10 years old, which often exhibit blue smoke due to oil burning. 2. Causes of excessive emissions: Oil burning produces vapor that enters the combustion chamber, and after burning, it is emitted as blue smoke, leading to excessive emissions. Additionally, damaged spark plugs or excessive carbon buildup can cause insufficient energy during gasoline combustion, resulting in weak combustion pulses that also contribute to excessive emissions.

Can a Mortgaged Car Still Be Sold?

Mortgaged cars cannot be transferred, so they cannot be sold. Since the vehicle has been mortgaged, the ownership temporarily does not belong to the owner, and therefore, the owner has no right to transfer a vehicle that does not belong to them to someone else. The mortgage must be fully paid off, and the mortgage must be lifted before the transfer can be processed. Additional details are as follows: 1. Fully Paid Mortgaged Cars: Fully paid mortgaged cars must meet one of the following conditions: the car was purchased with a one-time payment; the car was purchased through installment payments, and the payments have been completed, but the owner is unwilling or unable to repay the financial company and does not cooperate with the transfer, leading the financial company to legally transfer the debt. 2. Non-Fully Paid Mortgaged Cars: Non-fully paid mortgaged cars refer to vehicles that are still under mortgage with the DMV and bank when they are sold, etc.
