A cumulative score of 3 points on a driver's license means 3 points have already been deducted; the driver's license originally starts with 0 points, and points are recorded for traffic violations. Scoring cycle: The cumulative scoring cycle for traffic violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points, calculated from the date the driver's license is first issued. Scoring categories: Based on the severity of traffic violations, the points deducted at one time can be: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, or 1 point. Scoring regulations: For a driver's traffic violations, penalties and point deductions are executed simultaneously. If a driver commits more than one violation at a time, the points are calculated separately and then accumulated.

A cumulative score of 3 points means your driver's license has already been deducted 3 points, which usually happens when you're caught by traffic police for violations like speeding or running a red light. I remember when I first got my license, I accidentally exceeded the speed limit once and got penalized with points—it was quite annoying because if the accumulated points reach 12, you have to retake the written exam (Subject One). I recommend checking your license point status as soon as possible; you can use the 12123 app to check directly. Don’t wait until the points pile up and cause bigger trouble. When driving, pay more attention to speed, avoid rushing, and develop the habit of checking road signs in advance to reduce deductions. Remember, point deductions aren’t just about fines—they may also affect your future car insurance rates. Handling it early can help you avoid a lot of hassle.

Well, indeed, accumulating 3 points means you've been deducted 3 points, which I've encountered quite often during my years of driving, like being caught for speeding or occupying the wrong lane. As someone who's been driving for many years, I've picked up a few tricks: regularly use map apps to set speed reminders, and don't always rush for the last few seconds of a green light, because a single slip-up can add points. If too many points are deducted, you could face a 12-point suspension and have to attend classes—I've seen some friends almost get caught in that situation. It's best to check your points regularly to prevent small issues from escalating. Following the rules in daily driving actually makes things easier.

A cumulative score of 3 points means your driver's license has been deducted 3 points, indicating you already have a traffic violation record that led to the point reduction. This is called the demerit point system in traffic laws—for example, running a red light deducts 6 points, while speeding may deduct 3 points. Don't delay; promptly handle it through the traffic police website or app, because reaching 12 points will have serious consequences.

Do You Need to Press the Accelerator When Reversing in an Automatic Transmission Car?

When reversing in an automatic transmission car, you generally do not need to press the accelerator. Simply shift into the R (Reverse) gear and release the brake, and the car will move backward automatically. However, in certain situations such as when on a slope or when the wheels are on a speed bump, the idle power of the engine may not be sufficient to overcome the resistance. In such cases, you may need to lightly press the accelerator to assist in reversing. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on speed and traffic conditions. Typically, 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).

Where is the tire pressure reset button on the Great Wall Pao?

The tire pressure reset button for the Great Wall Pao is the SET button on the central dashboard. Tire pressure reset is an operation performed on the tire pressure monitoring system to reset it after addressing a tire pressure fault. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: The system typically alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In such cases, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Failure to reset the tire pressure monitoring: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset promptly, the monitoring system will retain the previous data, causing the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it can trigger the tire pressure warning light. In case of sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

Can Green and Red Antifreeze Be Mixed?

Whether green and red antifreeze can be mixed depends on the brand and composition of the antifreeze. Antifreeze of different brands or compositions should not be mixed. This is because the production formulas of antifreeze from different brands may vary, and mixing them could lead to chemical reactions between various additives, rendering them ineffective. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and resisting scale and corrosion year-round. It also prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winters, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block or head. The main components of antifreeze are: 50% pure water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances. It is generally categorized into three types: ethanol-water, glycerol-water, and ethylene glycol-water.

Is Braking Distance the Same as Stopping Distance?

Braking distance is indeed stopping distance, so the faster the vehicle speed, the longer the braking distance (stopping distance). Braking distance is one of the key parameters to measure a vehicle's braking performance, consisting of two parts: reaction distance and braking distance. Below are the relevant explanations: Reaction Distance: The distance traveled by the vehicle from the moment the driver notices a situation and intends to stop until the brake pedal is pressed and braking action begins is called reaction distance. Reaction distance depends on the driver's level of concentration, technical proficiency, and the vehicle's speed. Higher concentration and better technical skills result in a shorter reaction distance, while the opposite leads to a longer reaction distance; the faster the vehicle speed, the longer the reaction distance, and vice versa. Braking Distance: The distance traveled by the vehicle from the moment the driver presses the brake pedal and braking action begins until the vehicle comes to a complete stop is called braking distance. The length of the braking distance is related to the vehicle's speed, braking force, coefficient of friction, etc. The faster the speed, the longer the braking distance—for example, doubling the speed increases the braking distance by four times. The greater the braking force, the shorter the braking distance, and vice versa.

Why is there a hump in the middle of the back row in some cars?

Some cars have a hump in the middle of the back row because: for the flatness of the chassis, as the car's underbody is equipped with an exhaust pipe or drive shaft, usually rear-wheel-drive cars must transmit the engine's power to the rear wheels through the drive shaft, so structurally, such a hump is necessary. The hump between the front and rear seats from front to back is a structural design intended to enhance the longitudinal rigidity of the cabin, while also providing space for the exhaust pipe to run backward without affecting the chassis's ground clearance. If the chassis were a flat steel plate, it would easily "fold" upon impact. However, if the chassis is designed with a semi-circular hump, its ability to withstand impact can be many times stronger than a flat steel plate, and it is less prone to deformation. This is similar to adding a steel beam to the chassis.
