A driver's license with all 12 points deducted cannot be used for driving. First, let's correct a common misconception: vehicles cannot have points deducted; only driver's licenses can. In other words, points are deducted from the license holder, not the vehicle. If a driver's license has all 12 points deducted, it will be revoked, and the driver must retake the driving test. This test is commonly referred to as Subject 1. If a driver accumulates 12 points twice within a scoring cycle (12 months), in addition to taking Subject 1, they must also take Subject 3 (the road test). If a driver continues to drive with all 12 points deducted and is caught by traffic police, the vehicle will be impounded. The traffic management department of the public security authority may impose a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 yuan and may also detain the driver for up to 15 days. For specific details, refer to Articles 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China.'

What are the three modes of automatic transmission?

The introduction to the three modes of automatic transmission is as follows: 1. W and C modes: Represent snow driving and comfort driving modes, using 2nd gear at start-up, with early upshift timing and smooth gear shifting during driving, suitable for normal driving mode and more economical in fuel consumption. 2. S mode: Represents sport mode, with slight impact during upshifts, suitable for drivers who prefer a sporty driving feel and better vehicle acceleration performance, but with higher fuel consumption. 3. C mode: Represents manual mode, available in vehicles with paddle shifters on the steering wheel, allowing drivers to control the gear shifts themselves, suitable for drivers seeking extreme driving sensations. Fuel consumption varies significantly depending on different driving requirements.

Are Car Power Boosters Useful?

Car power boosters are useful. The following are the functions and precautions of car power boosters: Functions of car power boosters: Effectively remove carbon deposits from the engine, protect the engine, and maintain stable engine power for a long time; under the same power output, fuel consumption is reduced by 15%-25%. At the same time, on the basis of the original fuel-saving performance, it further reduces power loss and fuel consumption caused by frequent gear shifting; reduces vehicle exhaust emissions, effectively lowers the failure rate of the engine fuel pump/injector; reduces engine noise by 30%, thereby ensuring normal valve closure, reducing exhaust noise, and improving driving comfort. Precautions for car power boosters: The engine power is calibrated before leaving the factory and should not be adjusted arbitrarily. If the vehicle is modified to increase the engine output power by changing the calibration data of the engine computer, it will sacrifice the engine's emissions and fuel economy, as well as the engine's lifespan.

Does touching the line in the S-curve during Subject 2 result in failure?

Yes, it results in failure. In the Subject 2 driving test, apart from not stopping properly on the steep slope or forgetting to signal, which deducts 10 points for each occurrence, other violations such as touching the line or the vehicle body being scanned by the line will directly result in a failure. Here are the solutions to avoid touching the line in the S-curve: 1. Entrance: There are two directions for the entrance: left entrance and right entrance. For a left entrance, the vehicle should stay close to the right line before turning the steering wheel to the left; for a right entrance, the opposite applies—the vehicle should stay close to the left line before turning the steering wheel to the right. This accounts for the inner wheel difference to prevent the rear wheels from touching the line during the turn. 2. During the drive: While driving, keep the front of the vehicle aligned with the edge line. When turning left, align the front with the right edge line; when turning right, align it with the left edge line. 3. Exiting the S-curve: There are two directions for exiting the S-curve: left exit and right exit. For a left exit, when the front wheels are just about to leave, turn the steering wheel half a circle to the right to prevent the rear wheels from touching the line; for a right exit, do the opposite—when the front wheels are just about to leave, turn the steering wheel half a circle to the left to prevent the rear wheels from touching the line.

How Many Kilometers Should Conventional Oil Be Changed?

Engine oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers or once a year, whichever comes first. This interval can be appropriately extended or shortened based on different driving environments, driving habits, and other factors. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves multiple functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. The steps for changing engine oil are as follows: 1. Run the engine until it reaches operating temperature. Then use a jack to lift the vehicle, engage the handbrake, and secure the front wheels with wooden wedges; 2. Drain the oil by locating the oil drain plug underneath the vehicle. Unscrew the plug to allow the oil to flow out. Observe the oil color—normal oil should be translucent. If it appears black, it should be replaced promptly; 3. Remove the oil filter. When the oil flow slows, unscrew the oil filter for secondary drainage. Removing the oil filter can be challenging and requires a specialized filter wrench. Ensure all residual oil is drained from the compartment; 4. After fully draining the oil, replace the oil filter. Use the filter wrench to install the new filter and tighten it. Then secure the drain plug and lower the vehicle; 5. Pour new oil into the oil filler port. Select the appropriate oil for your vehicle and the correct volume based on engine displacement. After pouring, remove the dipstick to check if the oil level is sufficient. Avoid overfilling—moderation is key; 6. Start the engine and listen for any unusual noises. Then check the dipstick again to ensure the oil level is neither overflowing nor below the minimum mark.

Can an automatic transmission car move when in D gear without pressing the accelerator?

An automatic transmission car can move when in D gear without pressing the accelerator, but it will move slowly. Below are the precautions and driving methods when starting the car: Precautions when starting the car: After the engine starts and before the car moves, do not press the accelerator pedal; when shifting gears, do not release the brake pedal; after starting, do not press the accelerator pedal too quickly or too hard—press it slowly. Driving methods for automatic transmission cars: When starting the engine of an automatic transmission car, the gear selector must be placed in the P or N position, and the handbrake must be engaged or the brake pedal must be pressed. When starting the car, first press the brake pedal, shift into gear, release the handbrake, then smoothly lift the brake pedal, and after the car starts moving slowly, gradually press the accelerator pedal.

What does it mean when the subject two appointment is being processed?

When the online appointment for the driving test subject two shows as being processed, it means the appointment has not been successfully confirmed yet and is still under review. Below are the rules for the subject two appointment queue: 1. First-time subject two appointment: The queue is ordered based on the time of application acceptance. 2. Successful appointment: If the appointment is canceled due to personal reasons after being successfully scheduled, the queue is ordered based on the cancellation time. 3. Non-first-time appointment: For non-first-time appointments, the queue is ordered based on the time of the last test. 4. Cancellation due to non-personal reasons: If the appointment is canceled due to non-personal reasons (e.g., power outage or network failure at the test site preventing normal completion of the test), the queue order remains unchanged.
