No fine, you can renew it normally. Whether a new license can be issued after expiration depends on the specific situation: Less than one year: If the expiration period is less than one year, you can renew the license normally. Between one and three years: If the expiration period is between one and three years, the license will be revoked, but you can renew it by passing the subject one test. More than three years: If the expiration period exceeds three years, the license will be invalid and cannot be renewed. The age requirements for applying for a motor vehicle driver's license are: Between 18 and 70 years old for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, and light motorcycles. Between 18 and 60 years old for low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery. Between 21 and 50 years old for city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams.

How Many Days at the Latest to Receive a Notification for Running a Red Light?

After running a red light, you will generally receive a notification within about 3 to 7 days, with the latest being around 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you can receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But this notification does not equate to a violation; it is merely an alert for the capture. Whether it is ultimately deemed a violation still requires confirmation within 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners usually do not receive an immediate violation notification via SMS. There is a delay, and the duration may vary. This is because after the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center, where it is compiled and then forwarded to the relevant traffic police personnel for verification. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and then sends the violation details via SMS to the owner, who will then receive the corresponding violation notification. After receiving the violation SMS, the vehicle owner must settle all previous violations within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects they have committed a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received after 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management through online or terminal methods. Methods for querying vehicle violations include website queries, phone queries, SMS queries, mobile app queries, and offline terminal queries. Website Query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and enter your vehicle information to check. Phone Query: To query violations, you can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for traffic violation confirmation. Violations can only be processed at the location of the violation or the vehicle license plate issuance authority. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by traffic police, they must be handled at the location of the violation. SMS Query: Open the SMS interface on your phone; enter "WZ [license plate number] [license plate color]" in the message content; enter "1062650001" as the recipient and click send. Mobile App Query: Open the Traffic Management 12123 APP, log in, click on "Vehicle Violations" on the interface, enter the vehicle violation query interface, and click "Query." The interface will display recent unprocessed violation records. Offline Terminal Query: You can visit the local traffic management hall and use the self-service query machine to enter the license plate number to check recent violation records.

What Causes White Smoke from Exhaust?

The reasons for white smoke from car exhaust are: 1. Normal gasoline combustion: When gasoline burns normally, it produces water and carbon dioxide. The water turns into steam when exposed to high temperatures, and when it is discharged from the exhaust cylinder, it condenses into water mist due to cooling. This water mist is what we call white smoke, which is a normal phenomenon. 2. Damaged cylinder head gasket: If you notice that the exhaust pipe continues to emit white smoke after driving for more than ten minutes, it is likely due to a damaged cylinder head gasket. If water enters the cylinder, it can also cause white smoke from the exhaust pipe. A damaged cylinder head gasket leads to poor sealing between the cylinder block and the cylinder head, allowing water to enter the cylinder. The water in the cylinder forms steam when exposed to high temperatures. A damaged cylinder head gasket is a serious issue and requires the owner to replace it.

Can a Mortgaged Car Be Purchased?

If the mortgage has been lifted, you can safely purchase the mortgaged car; if the mortgage has not been lifted, it means the ownership of the car does not temporarily belong to the owner, and it cannot be purchased. When buying a mortgaged car, pay attention to who holds the ownership of the vehicle, whether the vehicle can be transferred at the vehicle management office, and whether there are any outstanding loans on the vehicle. Mortgaged cars are divided into fully paid mortgaged cars and non-fully paid mortgaged cars. A fully paid mortgaged car must meet one of the following conditions: 1. The car was purchased with a one-time payment; 2. The car was bought through installment payments, 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. A non-fully paid mortgaged car refers to a car that is still under mortgage with the vehicle management office or bank when sold.

How much can the engine oil exceed the upper limit without causing issues?

Engine oil exceeding the upper limit by 1 centimeter is acceptable. When the engine is cold, the oil level can be 1 centimeter above the upper limit, and when the engine is hot, it should be right at the upper limit. When the engine is cold, all the oil adhering to the cylinders, crankshaft gears, etc., flows back into the oil pan. When the engine is hot, much of the oil is distributed across various lubrication surfaces, so the level will be slightly lower. Engine oil is the lubricant used in engines, serving functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. Base oil is the main component of lubricants, determining their fundamental properties, while additives can compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, providing certain new capabilities.

Is it harmful to keep the air conditioning on in the car?

Here are the specific impacts of prolonged air conditioning use in cars: 1. Reduced vehicle power: The car's air conditioning system is powered by the engine. Prolonged use of the air conditioning consumes part of the car's power, leading to symptoms such as sluggish acceleration or abnormal shaking during driving. 2. Carbon monoxide poisoning: Using the air conditioning in recirculation mode for extended periods while driving can decrease the oxygen level inside the car. 3. Increased risk of catching a cold: Prolonged use of air conditioning creates a significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, making it easier to catch a cold. 4. Increased fuel consumption: Extended use of the air conditioning can cause the car's electrical system to operate under overload, increasing fuel consumption.
