It will be revoked. If the driver's license expires, the traffic police will impose a fine upon inspection, but no points will be deducted. There is a latest deadline for renewing the driver's license. If it has expired for less than one year, it can be renewed through the normal process; if it has expired for one to three years, the license will be revoked, and it can be regained by passing the subject one exam; if it has expired for more than three years, the license will be revoked. Article 57 of the "Traffic Regulations and Points Deduction Rules": The driver of a motor vehicle shall apply for renewal at the vehicle management office of the place where the motor vehicle driver's license was issued or elsewhere within 90 days before the expiration of the validity period of the motor vehicle driver's license. Remedial measures for a driver's license that has not been renewed for more than one year: Stop driving on the road: Avoid points deduction and fines for driving without a license. Prepare for subject one exam: Before preparing, go to the vehicle management office to report and explain the situation to the staff, and then schedule the subject one exam. Handle traffic violations: Go to the vehicle management office or traffic police station to complete this. Undergo a nearby physical examination: The main checks are for color blindness identification, limb integrity, and corrected vision. You can choose the physical examination hall of the vehicle management office, manual examination room, community hospital (with physical examination qualifications), or convenient physical examination service station. The results will be uploaded to the traffic management system. When applying, the application form shall be filled out, and the following documents and certificates shall be submitted: the identity certificate of the motor vehicle driver, the motor vehicle driver's license, and the physical condition certificate issued by a medical institution at or above the county level or a military unit at or above the regimental level. For those applying for a special small automatic passenger car for the disabled, a physical condition certificate issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority shall be submitted. Materials required for renewing the driver's license: original ID card and its copy, qualified physical examination form from the vehicle management office designated hospital, three one-inch white-background color photos, filled-out driver's license renewal application form, and the fee. Photos and physical examination certificates required for renewal can be brought by yourself. If you are worried that they might not meet the requirements, you can handle them directly at the traffic police station's certification hall to avoid wasting time. Relevant matters for renewing the driver's license upon expiration: About renewal: For annual review and renewal of the driver's license upon expiration, the old driver's license must be surrendered to the vehicle management office. Before renewal, all relevant traffic violation information must be handled; otherwise, the application will not be accepted. The motor vehicle driver's license can be renewed through the mobile app Traffic Management 12123 or through the vehicle management office, traffic management department, or public security authorities, effectively renewing the motor vehicle driver's license.

What is the Chinese meaning of 'service' in vehicles?

The 'service' indicator on a vehicle signifies that the car requires maintenance. Here is more information about 'service': 1. When a car reaches a certain mileage, the 'service' indicator or a small wrench symbol will appear on the dashboard to remind the user that the vehicle needs inspection or replacement of certain worn parts. 2. Generally, car manufacturers specify maintenance intervals within certain mileage ranges, commonly at 5,000, 7,500, or 10,000 kilometers. Following the maintenance schedule outlined in the owner's manual is highly recommended as it is very reasonable. Therefore, it is advisable to perform each maintenance item as specified in the manual. 3. Different cars have different dashboard designs, but common gauges include the speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and charging gauge.

What does it mean when the Volkswagen EPC light comes on?

There are two possible reasons for the EPC light to come on. 1. The throttle body is dirty and needs cleaning. 2. The brake lights are not working, requiring inspection of the brake switch and wiring. 3. The EPC warning light may also illuminate due to fuel quality issues. Here is some relevant information: 1. The EPC indicator light is quite common in Volkswagen vehicles. After turning the ignition key, the vehicle begins self-diagnosis, and the EPC light will illuminate for a few seconds before turning off. If it remains on after starting the vehicle, it indicates a fault in the mechanical or electronic systems. 2. Traditionally, drivers controlled the throttle opening via accelerator pedal through a cable system. In the EPC system, the mechanical throttle cable is replaced with pedal position sensors. The engine control unit (ECU) calculates the optimal throttle opening based on data from these sensors and sends signals to the throttle actuator motor to achieve this position. 3. This electronic throttle control is superior to the cable system because it processes input signals from the accelerator pedal to determine engine power requirements and converts this information into engine torque through various actuators.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Reversing?

Possible causes include incomplete retraction of the brake pads, looseness in the driveshaft CV joint, or abnormal wear of internal transmission components. It could also be due to particles detaching from the surface of the brake pads, which accumulate on one side of the pad as the brake disc rotates. Below is a detailed explanation of abnormal noises during reversing: 1. The noise during reversing is actually a normal backlash sound. Since the vehicle is moving in the opposite direction, there is a certain gap between the brake pad and the rear end of the bracket. When braking, the brake pad impacts the rear surface of the bracket, producing a clunking noise. This is normal and not a cause for concern. However, if abnormal noises occur, it's important to promptly visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair. 2. Related to torque. Due to the principle of physical torque, the friction pressure at the front and rear ends of the brake pad differs. The front-end pressure is generally significantly lower than the rear-end, which is why in some "multi-piston" caliper products, the pistons closer to the front end of the friction surface are smaller. This torque causes the brake pads to develop a slight difference in thickness between the front and rear ends after wear, meaning a certain degree of uneven wear has occurred. When you suddenly reverse, this balanced uneven wear is abruptly "twisted," leading to abrupt brake engagement during reverse braking and accompanied by squealing noises due to torque imbalance.

How Long Until a Private Car is Mandatorily Scrapped?

For domestic 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and micro vehicles, there is no usage period limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. Apart from the above-mentioned vehicles, small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Commercial vehicles have scrapping periods, as follows: Small and micro taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public bus passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and micro commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 15 years. Micro commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval Application Form" in duplicate and stamp the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period, after inspection and verification by the motor vehicle inspection office, if they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner must submit the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to a non-commercial vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping period. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of a motor vehicle's registration, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased motor vehicle. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation of registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

What is Running a Red Light?

Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating the prohibition of passage during the red light phase at a signal-controlled intersection or road section, crossing the stop line and continuing to drive. This is determined by capturing three photos via electronic cameras: a photo of the vehicle crossing the stop line at the intersection, including the traffic light showing red and the license plate number; a photo of the vehicle completely crossing the stop line, including the traffic light showing red and the license plate number; and a photo showing the vehicle continuing to move, with the traffic light showing red and the license plate number. If these three photos are captured, the vehicle can be determined to have run a red light. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the act of running a red light is clearly defined. Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to proceed, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage, and if a vehicle passes through an intersection during a red light, it constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. Here are some tips to avoid running a red light: Check the arrow light first, then the circular light: Currently, there are two types of traffic lights: arrow traffic lights and circular traffic lights. When arrow lights are present, drivers should first observe the arrow light and then the circular light to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, right turns are permitted. However, if the right-turn arrow is red, right turns are prohibited, and violating this will be penalized as running a red light. Brake in time: When the red light turns on, ensure the front of the vehicle does not cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross, and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will capture it, resulting in a penalty for running a red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the light turns red, the vehicle must wait for the green light before proceeding. Check the countdown of the green light before proceeding: When the green light flashes, if there is a countdown, drivers can judge accordingly. If there is no countdown, and the vehicle is close to the intersection with sufficient speed, it may proceed to avoid running a red light due to untimely braking. If the speed is slow and the vehicle is far from the intersection, brake immediately to avoid running a red light. Article 38 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states the following for motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle traffic signals: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not impede the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without non-motor vehicle or pedestrian crosswalk signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle traffic signals. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not impede the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not considered illegal under the following circumstances: Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles. If captured by surveillance cameras while yielding, the act of running a red light will not be recorded during manual review. Even if recorded, drivers can apply for reconsideration at the traffic police department. Extreme weather: When visibility is extremely low, and even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights. Photos of violations may be blurry, and accidental red-light running will not be penalized. Emergencies: When transporting a critically ill patient to the hospital, multiple red lights may be run. In such cases, after delivering the patient, the driver can provide proof from the hospital or the rescued individual to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation records can be cleared. If possible, calling an ambulance is recommended to avoid accidents caused by running red lights. Traffic police direction: During peak hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at key intersections. Drivers should follow the gestures of the traffic police.
