For the re-examination of subject one after a 12-point suspension due to drunk driving, there is a time limit. The driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the motor vehicle driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to participate in a seven-day study of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. The relevant details are as follows: 1. Participation in study: The motor vehicle driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the motor vehicle driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to participate in a seven-day study of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After completing the study, the vehicle management office must conduct a road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test within 20 days. 2. Examination results: If the test is passed, the points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be returned. If the test is failed, the driver must continue to participate in study and retake the test. If the driver refuses to participate in the study or take the test, the traffic management department of the public security authority will announce the suspension of the motor vehicle driver's license.

After receiving 12 penalty points for drunk driving, your driver's license will be suspended, and you need to attend traffic safety education as soon as possible. Generally, you must first complete a seven-day course on road traffic safety regulations, then take the subject one exam. Once you pass the exam, your driving privileges can be immediately restored. I heard this from a friend who was penalized for drunk driving last year—he quickly attended the course, passed subject one, and was back to driving to work. The entire process takes about one to two weeks, depending on the study schedule. The key is passing the exam—don’t slack off. Drunk driving is extremely dangerous, I must emphasize—it easily leads to accidents with unimaginable consequences. So, if penalized, don’t delay—act promptly to restore your license while learning from the lesson. Never drive under the influence again in the future, taking responsibility for your own and others' safety. This experience should encourage everyone to better understand traffic rules and develop good habits.

Last time I got into trouble for drunk driving, my license was deducted 12 points, and I was completely stunned. Later, I signed up for a local training course, attending classes for a whole week, covering traffic regulations and accident cases. After completing it, I directly took the subject one test, and once passed, my driving privileges were restored. All in all, if the study is intensive, it can be done within two weeks. But don't think about slacking off; the test is not just a formality. Drunk driving is risky, and I reminded myself that repeating it would be worse. For usual gatherings, it's better to call a designated driver, saving money and peace of mind. Handle this matter early, don't delay your travel, and avoid more penalties. In short, passing subject one means it's over, and you can drive immediately. During the learning period, reflect carefully, don't just focus on recovery, but truly get rid of bad habits. Safe driving is the long-term way to go.

After being deducted 12 points for drunk driving, you must re-learn road traffic safety knowledge and then take the Theory Test (Subject 1). Passing the test will restore your driving license. This process is mandatory education, emphasizing driving responsibility. From personal experience, it reminds us that drunk driving poses enormous risks and may lead to loss of life. The study period is typically seven days, and passing Subject 1 smoothly is crucial. There's no delay in restoring eligibility, but the lesson should be remembered for life. Avoid drunk driving to protect your safety and that of others. The test isn't difficult, but it must be taken seriously.

What Are the Reasons for a Car Rolling Back on a Hill Start?

There are generally three reasons for a car rolling back on a hill start: 1. The handbrake is not tightened enough: When parking on a slope, the handbrake is engaged, but once the foot brake is released, the car rolls back. This happens because the handbrake wasn't tightened sufficiently. Some people tend to pull the handbrake with the same force as on flat ground when parking on a slope, which is incorrect. The handbrake should be pulled tighter on a slope than on flat ground to prevent the car from rolling back. 2. Releasing the brake too early: Rolling back during a hill start occurs when the clutch is not yet at the semi-engaged position before the brake is released. 3. Releasing the handbrake too late: If the handbrake is not released in time when reaching the semi-engagement point, it can cause the car to stall and roll back.

When can the P gear of an automatic transmission be used?

Automatic transmission's P gear can be used when parking. The P gear locks the transmission. On very steep slopes, remember to firmly engage the handbrake, otherwise it may cause damage to the transmission locking mechanism. Whether using a gear lever or a rotary knob to switch to P gear, after pushing to P gear triggers the electrical signal, the control unit will engage the pawl into the ratchet wheel. During parking, the pawl and ratchet wheel are only engaged without contact, remaining in a ready state, and the pawl won't be damaged even with prolonged use. If the ratchet wheel actively outputs torque, the consequences could be quite severe. If the vehicle is rear-ended at high speed while parked in P gear, the best possible outcome would be the ratchet wheel pushing against and bouncing off the pawl, or the pawl deforming while the ratchet wheel remains undamaged.

Can a vehicle be registered without a certificate of conformity?

New cars cannot be registered without a certificate of conformity. After purchasing a vehicle, the car dealer should provide the purchase invoice, user manual, maintenance manual, vehicle inspection report, and the certificate of conformity. The certificate of conformity is particularly important as it serves as a crucial document for business authentication, payment of purchase tax, vehicle inspection, and license plate registration. Without the certificate of conformity, vehicle registration cannot be completed, which affects license plate registration and subsequent driving, insurance, and accident compensation. The impacts of not receiving the original certificate of conformity in time when purchasing a car include: 1. Inability to register: Without the certificate, timely registration is impossible. 2. Potential risks: If the dealer absconds with the funds, registration becomes directly impossible. 3. Theft insurance not in effect: Before the car is registered, theft insurance does not take effect.
