Having only one point left on the driver's license does not affect its use, and you can still drive on the road. Just be careful not to violate traffic rules again. After the scoring cycle ends and the fines are paid, the driver's license will naturally be restored to 12 points. The following are situations that deduct one point: 1. Driving license and vehicle license: Not carrying them. 2. Annual inspection: The vehicle does not display the inspection sticker. 3. Compulsory traffic insurance: The vehicle does not display the compulsory insurance sticker. 4. Seat belt: The front passenger does not wear a seat belt, deducting 1 point and imposing a corresponding fine. The following are situations that deduct two points: 1. Cutting in line: Cutting in line during traffic jams or occupying the opposite lane. 2. Wrong lane: Not waiting in the designated lane at traffic lights. 3. Overloading: Overloading by less than 20%.

Last time I had only one point left on my license, it felt like walking on thin ice—one wrong move and I'd be penalized. Driving became incredibly stressful; I didn't dare speed during the day, and at night I was terrified of getting caught for improper lighting. Having just one point left meant that any further violation could max out the 12-point limit, leading to a temporary license suspension and having to retake the written test. This isn't just a waste of time—it also means taking unpaid leave and losing wages. Worse, the psychological pressure made me more prone to mistakes. My advice to those with one point left: avoid night driving, regularly check your brake lights, or just hire a driver for peace of mind. Safety comes first—after all, an accident doesn't just harm you but also affects others, and in the long run, it could even hike up your car insurance rates.

Is there a late fee for illegal parking tickets?

There is no late fee for illegal parking tickets, but there is for traffic tickets. There are two scenarios for late fees on unpaid traffic violations: 1. Violations captured by electronic surveillance: These do not incur late fees and can be handled during the annual vehicle inspection. 2. Violations with on-site tickets issued by traffic police: Fines must be paid within 15 days, and a late fee of 3% per day will be charged starting from the 16th day, with the total late fee not exceeding the original fine amount. Below are the consequences of not handling traffic violations: 1. Late fees: On-site tickets not paid within 15 days will incur late fees. 2. License and vehicle seizure: If more than three violations remain unpaid, the traffic police may seize the driver's license, and in severe cases, the vehicle. 3. Difficulty in license processing: Unpaid on-site tickets will prevent the driver from renewing, replacing, or transferring their license. 4. No insurance claims: Accidents or vehicle damage will not be covered by the vehicle insurance company. 5. Failed annual vehicle inspection.

What are the precautions for replacing a car battery?

Car should be stopped and turned off, confirm the battery model, as the capacity and size of the battery vary, it is best to choose the same battery as the original one. Here are some relevant introductions about the battery: 1. Since the battery is heavy, friends with low strength are advised to seek help from others, especially when taking out and placing the battery from the engine compartment, to avoid damaging the battery or hurting themselves. Remove the battery clamp and take out the battery. If the vehicle is connected to an external power source, be careful not to let the positive terminal wire come into contact with the car body. It can be isolated with cotton cloth. 2. Generally, the service life of a car battery is 2-3 years, and the original battery of a new car can last more than 3 years. If the battery has been used for almost two years, pay attention to its service life which may have expired. At this time, you should check more often, conduct inspections in advance, and solve or replace any problems as early as possible to avoid losses caused by the battery suddenly "dying" during use.

What is the reason for the flashing R yellow light in HOWO?

Here are the specific reasons for the flashing R yellow light in HOWO: 1. False fault: The fault code is reported, but the operation is normal. It may be due to an operation that exceeds the control range of the computer, and the computer feedbacks the fault code. You can eliminate it first and then check whether the fault code still appears. 2. Intake pressure sensor fault: There is no particularly obvious fault in the engine. According to the computer detection information and further inspection, it is found whether there is a fault, which does not affect normal driving or has little impact, but it needs to be discovered and solved in time. For example, intake pressure sensor fault, etc. 3. Oxygen sensor fault: Such faults can be felt through visual inspection and driving experience, and seriously affect the normal operation of the engine, requiring immediate repair. For example, the engine is obviously underpowered, which is likely to be an oxygen sensor problem, etc.

Where is the engine number located on an older Volkswagen Polo?

The engine number of an older Volkswagen Polo is located on a sticker on the left side of the engine, visible after opening the hood. The engine number is also found on the firewall's nameplate. It typically consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be found through the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license displays the engine number, usually on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate records the engine number; The purchase invoice of the car includes the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate also states the engine number. It's important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specification and size of the engine within the manufacturer's range, and engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine, where each engine has a unique number and no two engines share the same engine number.
