Driver's license point clearance does not require a visit to the DMV. The initial issuance date is recorded on the driver's license: if there are no outstanding violations, unpaid fines, or accumulated points exceeding 12, the points will be automatically cleared at midnight on the anniversary of your license issuance each year. The clearance process is automatic. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction: The full name of a driver's license is a motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a "driver's license," which is a certificate required by law for individuals operating motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills, and those lacking such skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive recklessly. Generally, individuals cannot drive on public roads without a license. However, for those who have mastered safe driving techniques, the document that permits them to drive on roads is the "driver's license." 2. In China, the definition of a driver's license is: A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal document issued by the administrative authorities to individuals who have learned to drive motor vehicles in accordance with the law, have mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and have passed the required examinations, permitting them to operate specific types of motor vehicles.

Regarding the deduction clearance of driving license points, I find it quite straightforward and there's no need to make a special trip to the vehicle management office. Having driven for several years, my points automatically reset at the end of each cycle as long as there are no traffic violation records. I remember once forgetting to handle a speeding ticket, which resulted in the points not being cleared, and that's when I had to visit the vehicle management office. Nowadays, checking for violations is as easy as using mobile apps like the Traffic Management 12123 APP, which is incredibly convenient. If you accumulate a full 12 points, you'll need to attend a study session and pass an exam, otherwise your license could be at risk. Just drive carefully and avoid violations, and the points will reset on their own, saving a lot of hassle. I recommend everyone develop good habits by regularly checking the app to avoid the last-minute rush to queue up, which wastes time and is exhausting. In short, point clearance is an automatic process—just manage yourself well.

Generally, you don't need to visit the DMV for driver's license point clearance - I've experienced this firsthand. The system automatically resets the points when the cycle ends, just like flipping a calendar page, with no effort required on your part. However, if you have unresolved violations, such as an unpaid speeding ticket, your points will get stuck there, and you'll have to go to the DMV to resolve it. A friend of mine learned this the hard way - he ignored his penalty points, and when the deadline came, they couldn't be cleared, so he had to rush to complete the procedures. Additionally, if you accumulate 12 points, you'll have to retake the exam, so don't take it lightly. When it comes to driving, following the rules keeps things hassle-free; if you do violate them, promptly handle the records on the app, and you usually won't need to bother with the DMV. Remember, the DMV is mainly for paying fines or attending courses - point clearance itself happens automatically in the background, so just drive your car with peace of mind.

What is the correct parking procedure for an automatic transmission?

Automatic transmission is a type of transmission that does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. The correct parking procedure for an automatic transmission is: place your right foot on the brake, then engage the handbrake, shift into P (Park) gear, lift your right foot, and turn off the engine to complete the process. Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low). Driving an automatic transmission car using only P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Drive) gears can fully meet the needs of general driving. However, in some special driving environments, other functional gears may be required.

Can an automatic transmission car be parked in neutral gear?

An automatic transmission car should not be parked in neutral gear. It is better to park in P (Park) gear. If parked in neutral, the car's modules will not go into sleep mode and will continue to discharge, leading to battery drain. However, when waiting at a red light or temporarily stopping for two to three minutes, you can shift to neutral gear, but you must keep your foot on the brake and engage the handbrake. There is a difference between P gear and neutral gear. Neutral gear simply stops the car without providing any braking force, relying on the handbrake for braking. Traditional handbrakes use a steel cable to pull the rear brake shoes to restrain the rear wheels. The P (Park) gear, on the other hand, has a pawl inside the engine to prevent the car from being pushed, which is different from neutral gear. Nowadays, many cars require the gear to be in P to remove the key or lock the car. If you prefer not to use P gear and instead use neutral gear with the handbrake, it is acceptable as long as you can remove the key and lock the car.

Can I drive without my driver's license?

You can drive without your driver's license. However, if you forget to bring your driver's license and are checked, legally speaking, it is not considered driving without a license. Instead, you will be penalized for "forgetting to bring your driver's license," which typically results in a 1-point deduction and a fine. You will not be detained, but your vehicle may be temporarily impounded until you provide your driver's license to retrieve it. Below are the consequences for not carrying your driver's license with you: 1. If the driver provides the driver's license and there are no other violations during the drive, a warning or fine will be issued, and the vehicle will be promptly returned. 2. If the driver provides the driver's license but has committed other violations while driving, penalties will be imposed based on the violations and the failure to carry the license, and the vehicle will be promptly returned. 3. If the driver fails to provide the driver's license, they will be penalized for driving without a license.
