It takes 12 months to restore 12 points after a driver's license reset. Below are the relevant details about traffic violation points: 1. Legal Provisions: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," if a motor vehicle driver accumulates fewer than 12 points in a scoring cycle and has paid all fines, the points will be cleared; otherwise, the points will carry over to the next cycle. 2. Accumulating 12 Points: For Class C driver's licenses, the traffic management department will temporarily confiscate the license, and the driver must attend traffic safety laws, regulations, and knowledge training and pass an exam at a designated location within 15 days. Passing the exam will clear the points and return the license; otherwise, the driver must continue training and retake the exam. For Class A and B driver's licenses, the driver will face a downgrade penalty, with the vehicle management office revoking the highest permitted driving category. The driver must complete the downgrade and license replacement procedures within 30 days.

Is it useful for traffic police to check surveillance footage if they suspect a driver of drunk driving?

Checking surveillance footage is not useful for traffic police to confirm drunk driving, as the footage cannot serve as direct evidence to determine that a driver was drunk driving; it only plays a supplementary role. The basis for determining drunk driving is the alcohol content in the driver's blood. If the driver is not caught drunk driving on the spot, it is difficult for traffic police to directly confirm the offense. However, drivers should adhere to the principle of not driving after drinking. For those who drive under the influence of alcohol, the traffic management department of the public security authority will restrain them until they sober up, revoke their motor vehicle driving license, and hold them criminally liable according to the law. They will not be allowed to obtain a motor vehicle driving license again within five years. If a major traffic accident occurs due to driving after drinking or drunk driving, constituting a crime, criminal liability shall be pursued according to the law, and the traffic management department of the public security authority will revoke the motor vehicle driving license, with the driver permanently barred from obtaining a motor vehicle driving license again.

Is there a time limit for parking in the service area?

There is a time limit for parking in the service area: Parking for more than 10 hours (inclusive) without valid proof will incur a fee, which is charged based on the farthest station within the province. Valid proof includes overtime certificates issued by the service area, various consumption receipts from the service area, and repair bills from the road. There are no explicit regulations on how long you can park in a highway service area, so you can technically park indefinitely. However, due to the existence of highway overtime fees, the parking time in the service area becomes effectively limited. The purpose of highway overtime fees is to prevent vehicles from evading tolls through methods like swapping cards, losing cards, or bypassing toll stations. The calculation of highway overtime fees is based on the maximum toll for the entire section of the highway.

What are the new regulations for drunk driving on electric bicycles in 2020?

In 2020, the new regulations for drunk driving on electric bicycles stipulate that offenders can be sentenced to up to six months of detention and fined. When traffic police stop a drunk driver, they will determine whether the electric bicycle is classified as a motor vehicle. If it is deemed a motor vehicle, the driver will be penalized according to the standards for drunk driving offenses. If the electric bicycle is classified as a non-motor vehicle after evaluation, the driver will be fined. The dangers of drunk driving on electric bicycles are actually greater, and relevant authorities should intensify enforcement efforts. Electric bicycles fall between motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles. Drunk drivers operating motorized electric bicycles will face detention, which is a criminal penalty. Depending on the severity of the offense, the detention period can range from one to six months. If an accident occurs while drunk driving an electric bicycle, the driver will bear primary responsibility. In addition to criminal detention, the drunk driver must also pay a fine.

What types of electric bike canopies are not dismantled by traffic police?

Electric bike canopies are all subject to dismantling by traffic police. Bicycles and electric pedal tricycles can be equipped with canopies, but any non-motorized vehicle with two wheels is not allowed to have canopies or windproof cotton jackets installed. Reasons for dismantling canopies: 1. They obstruct the view, and strong winds can easily cause the vehicle to lose balance and fall; 2. After installing a canopy, the non-motorized vehicle becomes wider, occupying more road space and increasing the risk of scraping accidents with pedestrians; 3. In the event of a traffic accident, the canopy may pierce the driver's heart or neck, endangering their life. If someone is caught driving a non-motorized vehicle with an installed canopy on the road, traffic police have the authority to penalize the individual and may detain the vehicle first.
