The yellow label for vehicle inspection is only used to distinguish the year of inspection expiration. Currently, there are three colors for vehicle inspection stickers, with a three-year cycle that is standardized nationwide, making it convenient for traffic police to check. Non-commercial vehicles are exempt from on-site inspection within the first 6 years, only requiring an inspection mark application every two years. For vehicles older than 6 years but less than 10 years, inspection is required every two years, meaning private cars only need on-site inspections twice within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Private cars aged 10-15 years require annual inspections, while those over 15 years old require inspections every six months. Commercial passenger vehicles within 5 years require annual inspections; those over 5 years require inspections every six months. Trucks and large/medium non-commercial passenger vehicles within 10 years require annual inspections; those over 10 years require inspections every six months. Motorcycles within 4 years require inspections every two years; those over 4 years require annual inspections. Vehicle inspection mainly includes the following items: Appearance inspection: Mainly checks vehicle lights, body appearance, suspension, sunroof, and tires, ensuring lights function properly, no unlit lights, no unauthorized body color changes, and no modifications to the suspension. Emission test: Checks whether the vehicle's tailpipe emissions meet national standards during high-speed operation. On-site inspection: Primarily examines the vehicle's braking system, headlights, horn, and chassis. Violation check: Before the inspection, all traffic violations must be cleared to pass. Vehicle inspection can be done up to 90 days in advance but must not be overdue. Consequences of overdue inspection include: Vehicles not inspected on time are not allowed on the road; driving an uninspected vehicle results in a 3-point penalty and a 200 RMB fine. If an uninspected vehicle is involved in a traffic accident, the driver bears full or primary responsibility, and insurance will not cover it. Driving an uninspected vehicle is considered illegal driving and may result in vehicle impoundment.

Do people drive on the left or right side in Taiwan?

In Taiwan, the driver's seat is on the left side of the car, and vehicles drive on the right side of the road. In Asia, apart from Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, and Indonesia, most regions and countries follow the same regulations as mainland China, with the driver's seat on the left and driving on the right side of the road. Here is more related information: 1. Steering wheel direction: The side of the steering wheel is determined by the driving rules of different countries and regions. Right-hand drive is common in Commonwealth countries, where traffic rules dictate driving on the left side of the road with left turns having priority. This setup also ensures better visibility for the driver, who sits on the right side, to see oncoming traffic clearly. 2. Left-hand drive: Conversely, left-hand drive is the driving habit and rule in countries and regions like the Americas, where driving is on the right side, and the driver sits on the left for better visibility of oncoming traffic when passing. In China, where the traditional preference is for the right hand (more advantageous for gear shifting), left-hand drive vehicles are used.

What is the maximum speed for 4th gear?

Generally, 4th gear can be used at speeds between 10 to 50 kilometers per hour, but this is not a strict rule. When driving a manual transmission vehicle, the gear should match the engine RPM and driving speed. Below are the relevant introductions for each gear of a car: 1. 1st gear: Used for normal starting or climbing very steep slopes, with speeds mostly around 10km/h. 2. 2nd gear: Used for low-speed driving or climbing steep slopes, with speeds mostly around 20km/h. 3. 3rd gear: Mostly used at speeds between 20 to 40 kilometers per hour, often used for city driving. 4. 4th gear: Generally used at speeds between 40-60km/h.

Can You Drive with 205 kPa Tire Pressure?

Tire pressure at 205 kPa can still allow continued driving. When driving with insufficient tire pressure, the most noticeable effect is increased fuel consumption. This is because low tire pressure increases the contact area between the car tires and the road surface, resulting in greater friction and increased driving resistance, which leads to higher fuel consumption. Hazards of Excessive Tire Pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle while driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tire is more prone to punctures, and impacts can cause internal cracks or blowouts, leading to tire failure. Solutions for Insufficient Tire Pressure: If no visible damage is detected, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is found during inspection, promptly drive to a tire shop for repair and reinflation; If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation despite no puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to inspect and replace the wheel rim if necessary.

What are the reasons for the Jinbei car's air conditioning not cooling?

The reasons for the car's air conditioning not cooling include lack of refrigerant (Freon), dirty air filter, dirty evaporator, dirty condenser, or malfunctioning air conditioning system. It is recommended that the owner promptly go to a repair shop for inspection and treatment. The relevant details are as follows: 1. Check the compressor: Verify if the compressor is still working. If it is not, it indicates the compressor is broken and needs to be replaced. 2. Inspect the refrigerant pipes: Check if the refrigerant pipes are leaking or damaged. If they are damaged, the ventilation pipes need to be replaced. 3. Check the refrigerant: Since refrigerant (also known as "Freon") may deplete over time due to various reasons, it is necessary to check if there is still refrigerant left. If not, it should be refilled. 4. Clean or replace the air filter: The filter can accumulate impurities over time and should be cleaned regularly.
