An automatic transmission license cannot deduct points from a manual transmission license. Points deduction knowledge: 1. The relationship between C2 and C1 in points deduction: The automatic transmission driver's license is C2, while the manual transmission is C1. The level is insufficient, so it cannot help deduct points for a C1 driver's license; however, C1 can help deduct points for C2, meaning a higher-level license can deduct points for a lower-level one, but not vice versa. 2. Documents required for points deduction: The person deducting points must present their driver's license, ID card, and the violating vehicle's registration certificate. For commercial vehicles, a professional qualification certificate is also required. 3. Points deduction notice: If a vehicle is detained by traffic police due to a traffic violation, the violator must present the vehicle detention certificate, their driver's license, and the vehicle's registration certificate within 15 days to the law enforcement station for processing.

As a veteran driver with twenty years of experience, I'd like to share my personal insights about license demerit points. The demerit point system is a record-keeping mechanism by traffic authorities for individual driving violations, and it makes no distinction between automatic or manual transmission vehicles. If you only hold an automatic transmission license but are caught illegally driving a manual transmission car—such as for speeding or running a red light—the police will deduct points directly from your personal license and impose an additional fine for driving beyond your permitted scope. In my city, this type of violation typically results in a deduction of 2 or more points and a fine of 500 yuan. Accumulating too many points can affect insurance premiums and annual inspection efficiency. I recommend that new drivers directly obtain a manual transmission license (C1), as it offers greater compatibility and eliminates the hassle and risks of unlicensed driving. I've seen many young people opt for the convenience of an automatic license, only to face demerit points for driving manual transmissions, forcing them to attend remedial classes and retake tests—costing both money and time. Safe driving is no joke; adhering to your permitted license scope is the best way to protect yourself.

Does a Leaking Exhaust Pipe Require a Comprehensive Repair?

Whether a leaking exhaust pipe requires a comprehensive repair depends on the severity of the oil leakage. If the oil leakage is minor, it may be due to inherent defects in the vehicle, so the issue is not significant and does not require a comprehensive repair. However, if the oil leakage from the exhaust pipe is severe, a comprehensive repair is necessary. Severe oil leakage can lead to increased fuel consumption, reduced acceleration power, accelerated engine wear, and even potential engine damage. The function of the car's exhaust pipe: Under certain specific operating conditions (such as heavy load), the exhaust pipe directs the engine's exhaust gases into the intake manifold, where they mix with the air-fuel mixture and participate in combustion. Since the exhaust gases cannot burn, this process slows down the combustion speed and lowers the combustion temperature within the cylinders, thereby improving emissions. Additionally, the exhaust pipe channels the gases inside the engine's crankcase (which include gases from the combustion chamber entering the cylinders and oil vapors) into the intake manifold to participate in combustion. Nitrogen and oxygen only undergo chemical reactions under high temperature and pressure conditions. Therefore, the exhaust gas recirculation system is designed to allow a small amount of exhaust gas to re-enter the intake manifold and participate in combustion again. Since the exhaust gases cannot burn, their role is to lower the temperature inside the engine cylinders and reduce the levels of pollutants.

Is it acceptable not to transfer insurance when transferring vehicle ownership?

It is not acceptable to transfer vehicle ownership without transferring the insurance, as it may lead to many troubles. Even in the event of an accident, the insurance company may refuse to settle the claim. Therefore, if the vehicle ownership is transferred, it is best to transfer the insurance as well. The original owner and the new owner only need to bring their valid ID cards, insurance policy, new vehicle registration certificate, driving license, transaction receipts, etc., to the insurance company to complete the insurance transfer procedures. The documents required from the original owner for a used car transfer include: registration certificate, driving license, and ID card. The buyer needs to provide an ID card, and if they are from another city, a residence permit or temporary residence permit is required. First, a vehicle evaluation is required for the transfer of ownership. The evaluation fee is generally 1%-2% of the evaluated vehicle price, and other fees include license plates, driving license, etc. The original commercial insurance of the vehicle can be canceled (compulsory insurance cannot be canceled), or the insurance can be transferred to the buyer at the insurance company. Precautions when buying a used car: Incomplete procedures. Complete procedures for a used car include: vehicle registration certificate (or original purchase invoice), driving license, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, road maintenance fee procedures, and compulsory insurance. If the vehicle registration certificate or driving license is missing, or if there are arrears in compulsory insurance or road maintenance fees, it will bring endless trouble to the buyer. Therefore, when buying a car, if the seller cannot provide complete procedures, consumers should be especially vigilant. Tampering with the odometer. Most consumers like to judge the condition of the car by the odometer, and sellers often take advantage of this psychology to tamper with the odometer. In fact, the odometer is not only a record of usage intensity but also a recorder of the maintenance and replacement of other parts of the vehicle. If the buyer performs maintenance according to the tampered odometer display, it will bring a series of potential safety hazards. New paint covering "external injuries". When consumers choose a used car, if the car has been repainted and there are traces of repair around the front face, rear, and A, B, C pillars, the car may have been involved in a major accident. "Tuning the heart" to raise the price. Many consumers often pay too much attention to the "heart" of the car when buying a car and ignore the health of the car body. Used car sellers take advantage of this psychology of consumers by replacing engine parts to make the vehicle's "heart" appear younger, thereby raising the price.

How many days must a new car be licensed?

New car licensing, the country does not have a mandatory requirement for how many days it must be done, but the temporary license plate can only be used for one month after purchasing the car. After that, if the license plate is not obtained, the car cannot be driven on the road. Documents required for licensing: ID card, vehicle qualification certificate, triplicate car purchase invoice issued by the 4S store, the original and duplicate tax books obtained after paying the vehicle purchase tax, insurance policy, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and if you are not a local resident, you also need to bring a temporary residence permit. New car licensing needs to be processed at the vehicle management office. After submitting all the required documents and paying the fees, the vehicle must also be driven to the vehicle management office for inspection. Some exempt vehicles can directly undergo an external inspection, which generally includes checking the engine number and chassis number. After the inspection, you can go to the vehicle management office hall to choose a license plate. The role of the license plate: The main role is that through the license plate, you can know the area to which the vehicle belongs, and you can also find out the owner of the vehicle and the registration information of the vehicle based on the license plate.

Can You Shift from D to N Gear While Driving an Automatic Car?

Because automatic transmissions and manual transmissions are fundamentally different, shifting from D to N gear can cause severe damage to the transmission or even render it unusable. Here are specific details about automatic transmissions: Introduction: An automatic transmission is a gear-shifting device that automatically changes gears based on the vehicle's speed and engine RPM, as opposed to a manual transmission. Types: Currently, there are four common types of automatic transmissions in vehicles: hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), continuously variable transmission (CVT), automated manual transmission (AMT), and dual-clutch transmission.

What is the appropriate valve clearance?

Generally, when the engine is cold, the intake valve clearance is between 0.20mm and 0.30mm, and the exhaust valve clearance is between 0.25mm and 0.35mm. The valve clearance for different engine models is determined by the engine manufacturer through testing, and specific details can be found in the maintenance manual. Valve clearance refers to the gap between the end of the valve stem and the valve transmission components when the valve is fully closed. Effects of too small valve clearance: If the valve clearance is too small, the engine may experience leakage due to the valve not closing tightly when hot, leading to reduced power and even valve burning. If the valve clearance is too large, it can cause impact noise between transmission components and between the valve and valve seat, accelerating wear. Additionally, it reduces the duration of valve opening, worsening cylinder charging and exhaust conditions. Precautions: Valve clearance is determined by the manufacturer during design and testing, with each engine having its own standard. Adjust according to the standard. Ignition timing, whether advanced or delayed, affects engine power. Nowadays, ignition timing is often adjusted by feel, generally based on smooth acceleration, no smoke, and no knocking. After adjustment, it is best to conduct a road test.
