Detailed information on handling 6-point violations through the study-and-reduction program is as follows: 1. Study-and-Reduction Program: In January 2020, the Ministry of Public Security issued the "Work Standards for Reducing Traffic Violation Points Through Receiving Traffic Safety Education (Trial)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Work Standards"), implementing a policy that allows motor vehicle drivers to reduce points for road traffic violations by receiving education, known as the "study-and-reduction" policy. 2. In simple terms: The "study-and-reduction" program is a measure where drivers who have been penalized with points for traffic violations can participate in online traffic safety education or public welfare activities related to traffic safety and meet certain requirements to have their points reduced. A maximum of 6 points can be reduced within one scoring cycle.

I often drive and know a bit about traffic rules. A 6-point violation can usually be handled through the 'study to reduce points' policy, which is a great initiative allowing drivers to reduce penalty points by taking traffic safety courses. Specifically, a 6-point deduction isn’t too severe—it covers violations like running a red light or speeding. If your total points haven’t exceeded 11, you can still recover. Quickly register and log in to the traffic police app or website, find the 'study to reduce points' section, select a course, typically watch a 30-minute video, and then pass a test. The process is simple and takes about an hour, but note that you can only reduce up to 6 points per year, and it can’t be reused. Once handled, your points will decrease, preventing license suspension or increased insurance costs. This method is both convenient and enhances safety awareness. I always advise new drivers not to procrastinate—address it promptly to avoid maxing out points and driving with anxiety. What you learn, like yielding to pedestrians and staying alert to road conditions, is practical and helps maintain road safety, benefiting everyone.

What Does It Mean to Lose Communication with the Engine Control Module?

Due to a malfunction in the central control module, the central part and external circuits cannot conduct. Here is some extended information about the engine: 1. Engine: A machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, first developed in the UK. It can refer to both the power generation device and the entire machine including the power unit (e.g., gasoline engines, aircraft engines). Types include internal combustion engines (e.g., gasoline engines), external combustion engines (e.g., Stirling engines, steam engines), and electric motors. 2. Automotive Engine Control Module (ECM): The core component of engine control, it manages fuel injection and ignition timing based on input from various sensors and provides optimal control commands to other output devices. The ECM can supply 5V or 12V voltage to sensors or switches through feedback resistors connected to its internal regulated power supply. Located in the engine compartment, the ECM serves as the control center of the engine control system.

How to Sleep Safely with the Air Conditioning On in the Car?

Sleeping in the car with the air conditioning on is a very bad habit and also extremely dangerous. It is essential to avoid using the car's air conditioning while resting. This is because running the air conditioning in an enclosed space can lead to the accumulation of carbon monoxide due to poor air circulation. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that can cause poisoning, leading to shock or fainting. Below is additional information on car air conditioning usage: 1. While Driving: If the car is in motion, the carbon monoxide produced by the vehicle is quickly dispersed or reduced due to rapid air convection, posing minimal harm to the human body. 2. Idle State: However, when the car is idling or stationary, even outdoors, carbon monoxide can accumulate around the vehicle. Over time, the concentration increases, becoming highly dangerous. In severe cases, it can lead to carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide poisoning, which can be life-threatening.
