Traffic violations are generally notified within 24 hours. SMS inquiry: The ID number is the driver's license number, and you can send a text message to inquire. Mobile/Unicom/PHS users nationwide can send the license plate number via SMS to 916099122 to check the violation record. The service fee is charged per vehicle per inquiry (excluding communication fees) and will be deducted from the user's monthly phone bill. If no SMS reply is received, no information fee will be charged. Online inquiry: Log in to the public service website of the local Public Security Bureau's Traffic Management Bureau: find the vehicle violation inquiry section, enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to inquire. Car owners can also log in to the National Vehicle Traffic Violation Inquiry Service Platform for inquiries.

I've driven quite a few cars in my life, and it's hard to say exactly when you'll receive the text message after a traffic violation. Usually, you have to wait three to five days, and during peak periods like after holidays, it might take up to ten days. I remember last time when I was caught speeding by an electronic eye, the text message came a week later, with details about the violation location and the fine amount. I was really anxious and quickly paid the fine online to avoid penalty points. These notifications rely on the traffic system automatically uploading data, and the efficiency depends on the monitoring points—it might be faster in big cities. I suggest everyone develop a habit of regularly checking traffic violation apps instead of just waiting for the text message, which might delay things. If you forget to handle it, it could affect your credit score, which would be a big hassle. In short, be patient and don't worry too much—safe driving is the best way to avoid fines.

I've been driving a taxi for over a decade and know all about traffic violation text messages. Typically, you'll receive a text notification within five to ten days after being caught violating traffic rules. The message will clearly state the fine amount and violation location. For example, when I rushed through peak passenger hours, I got the notice after four or five days. The system needs processing time – surveillance data must be uploaded to the database before notification. Some remote road sections might be slightly slower. I advise fellow drivers not to rely solely on text alerts. Check the 12123 APP promptly for self-verification – the faster you handle it, the fewer points you'll lose. Drive carefully daily, follow rules, avoid overloading or speeding to prevent hassle. These accumulated details significantly impact driving safety – making them habits improves efficiency.

Are Brake Pads Different for Front and Rear?

Automobile brake pads are indeed different for the front and rear. Generally, the front brake pads of a car are larger than the rear ones, and the front and rear brake pads cannot be used interchangeably. The front brake pads wear out faster than the rear ones, so they need to be replaced more frequently. The rear brake pads are more durable. Although the front and rear brake pads are made of the same material, the front brake pads are usually more expensive than the rear ones. The replacement interval for front brake pads is typically between 30,000 to 60,000 kilometers, while the rear brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Car owners should inspect the brake pads every 5,000 kilometers. If the brake pads are thinner than 5mm, they should be replaced promptly to avoid affecting vehicle performance. Brake pad maintenance methods include: high-temperature protection to prevent corrosion of the braking system, cleaning oil stains from brake discs, brake drums, and brake pads, ensuring proper heat dissipation of the brake discs, regular replacement of brake fluid, and periodic checks of the thickness of brake pads or brake shoes.

Can I deduct points the day before my driver's license points are about to expire?

No. 1. If there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next cycle: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is first issued. If a motor vehicle driver's points do not reach 12 points within a scoring cycle and the fines have been paid, the points will be cleared; if the points do not reach 12 points but there are still unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next cycle. 2. Accumulating 12 points requires attending relevant knowledge education: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, their driver's license will be detained by the public security traffic management department. The motor vehicle driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to receive seven days of education on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge, and must take the subject one exam. 3. Refusal to attend learning results in suspension of the driver's license: If a motor vehicle driver's points reach 12 points and they refuse to attend the learning notified by the traffic management department of the public security authority or take the exam, the traffic management department of the public security authority will announce the suspension of their motor vehicle driver's license.

What does it mean when the Great Wall Wingle 5's particulate filter is self-cleaning?

When the combination instrument displays the message "Self-cleaning in progress, please wait," it indicates that the vehicle has automatically initiated the regeneration procedure. Below is an introduction to the regeneration procedure: Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF): During driving, when the particulate matter captured in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) reaches certain conditions, the vehicle will automatically initiate the regeneration procedure to fully burn the particulate matter, restoring the DPF's ability to continue capturing particles. Notes: To ensure the regeneration procedure is completed smoothly, please follow these driving recommendations until the message disappears: try to maintain a steady speed on roads with good conditions, and keep the engine speed around 2000 RPM.

How to Use the Button Gear Shift in Honda URV?

Honda URV's button gear shift has specific operating methods. Below are the gear shifting techniques for Honda URV: Usage of paddle shifters: First, press the brake pedal, shift the gear to "D" position, then push the gear lever towards the passenger side. At this point, you can use the "+" and "-" paddle shifters on the steering wheel to shift up or down. Although manual mode is a bit more cumbersome, it allows precise control over gear shifts at the appropriate RPM and torque. Uphill: Use "D-" to downshift for greater torque, making the power output more robust. If you find the power sufficient, use "D+" to upshift to protect the transmission and engine. If the power is still insufficient, you can switch to S mode (Sport mode). Downhill: It is recommended to use "D+" to upshift, using 3rd gear for gentle slopes and 2nd gear for steep slopes, which can prevent premature wear of the brake pads. 1st gear has too much torque; generally, 2nd or 3rd gear can provide adequate braking effect. Similarly, if the vehicle starts to accelerate downhill, use "D-" to downshift and control the speed.
