Annual vehicle inspection requires 12 points on the driver's license. Types of Driver's Licenses and Permitted Vehicle Categories: C1 license permits driving small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles, and light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles. C2 license permits driving small automatic transmission vehicles, including small and micro automatic transmission passenger vehicles and light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicles. C3 license permits driving low-speed cargo vehicles (formerly four-wheel agricultural transport vehicles). C4 license permits driving three-wheeled vehicles (formerly three-wheel agricultural transport vehicles). B2 license permits driving large trucks, heavy and medium cargo vehicles, and large, heavy, and medium special-purpose vehicles. Validity Period of Driver's License: The driver's license is valid for six years. After the six-year validity period expires, it will be replaced with a ten-year validity license. Eligible drivers may receive a long-term valid license. The driver must apply for a license renewal at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or another office 90 days before the expiration date.

I've been driving for over a decade, and the driver's license annual review has nothing to do with points. Points are for traffic violations like running red lights or speeding—when the traffic police give you demerit points, and if you accumulate 12 points, you'll need to retake the theory test (Subject 1). The annual review mainly checks the driver's health condition, such as vision and hearing, to ensure you're still fit to drive safely. Younger drivers might only undergo review when renewing their license every 6 or 10 years, but older drivers like me over 50 need to get a medical checkup at the hospital every year. The key point is, the annual review only checks whether you have a qualified medical report—your points don't affect the approval. Of course, if you've accumulated too many points, you should be extra careful to follow the rules to avoid hitting the 12-point limit, which could lead to license suspension. Safety comes first when driving, and don't delay your annual review.

The annual review of the driver's license does not require any point requirements. Points are merely a system for recording traffic violations. The annual review focuses on your personal health check, such as vision tests, to ensure you can drive safely. I haven't been driving for long, but experienced drivers say that losing points is another matter. For example, if you accumulate 12 points, you'll have to retake the test, which indirectly affects your driving privileges, but it's not directly related to the annual review. The annual review is usually conducted within the license renewal cycle. Young drivers may only need it once every few years, while older drivers need it annually. In short, keeping your points low helps avoid extra trouble, but the health check is the key part of the annual review. Remember to bring your health check form and ID when making an appointment.

Driving license points are not involved in the annual review process, which is a health check for drivers, such as eye tests. Points are part of the penalty system for traffic violations, with a maximum of 12 points. Losing all points requires retaking the theoretical test. The frequency of annual reviews depends on age; younger drivers are reviewed only when renewing their license, while older drivers need annual medical check-ups. Don't worry about points affecting the annual review; the key is ensuring you pass the medical examination.

The annual review of the driver's license does not consider the points at all. Points are a deduction mechanism for traffic violations, while the annual review focuses on the driver's physical health. Each time you go for a license renewal or periodic inspection, the center will require you to provide a medical examination certificate, checking vision, hearing, etc., which is unrelated to points. However, having fewer than 12 points is a prerequisite for driving eligibility. If all points are deducted, you must undergo study and testing, which may affect your driving ability. It is recommended to regularly monitor your point balance, drive safely to avoid deductions, and complete the required medical examinations for the annual review on time.

What causes the shaking of Audi A8?

Dirty air filter, short circuit in high-voltage wires. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. Air filter: The air filter is designed to protect the engine and reduce wear. It generally needs to be replaced every 10,000 kilometers. If not replaced in time, insufficient air intake can cause low idle speed, leading to engine shaking. Simply replacing the filter element can solve this issue. 2. Short circuit in high-voltage wires: A short circuit in the high-voltage wires refers to a short circuit in the wire core, which can affect ignition and cause engine shaking. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance and replace the wire with significantly higher resistance. 3. Spark plug issues: Spark plugs have a limited lifespan. After exceeding 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers, their ignition efficiency noticeably decreases, which can affect ignition. This is the most common fault, and replacing all the spark plugs can resolve the issue.

Do You Need to Press the Clutch When Turning with a Manual Transmission?

When turning with a manual transmission, you do not need to press the clutch. For low-speed turns, you can either not press the clutch or use the half-clutch technique. For high-speed turns, press the clutch and downshift as needed. When the vehicle is moving at a very slow speed (5 to 10 kilometers per hour) or in a semi-stopped state during a turn, using the half-clutch technique or keeping the clutch partially engaged ensures the vehicle has sufficient power and does not stall. During low-speed turns at 20 to 30 kilometers per hour, the vehicle's inertia is relatively small, and resistance increases. If you release the clutch completely during the turn, the vehicle's speed may drop significantly or even stall when returning to a straight path. If the speed feels slightly too fast, you can use the brake to reduce speed without pressing the clutch. When turning at speeds of 80 kilometers per hour or higher, you should press the clutch. At higher speeds, the vehicle has greater inertia, preventing a significant drop in speed. Since the speed is high, the gear will also be in a higher range, where traction is lower. If the turn is long and the vehicle's speed drops considerably, you can downshift appropriately to increase traction. After completing the turn, you can then quickly accelerate back to the desired speed.

Is it a traffic violation to make a U-turn and drive in the opposite direction on a waterlogged road?

When a motor vehicle encounters a flooded road, it must confirm that safe passage is impossible before making a U-turn; otherwise, it is considered a traffic violation. Below are precautions for driving through water: 1. Assess the depth of the water: If the water does not exceed half the height of the wheels, it is safe to proceed; otherwise, it is not advisable to continue. 2. Use snow mode: After entering a waterlogged section, slow down and drive cautiously. For automatic transmission vehicles, it is best to use first gear and engage snow mode to prevent wheel slippage. 3. Apply continuous braking: After exiting the waterlogged section, brake several times in succession to evaporate moisture from the brake discs, ensuring the vehicle's braking performance is not affected.

Where is the defogging button on the Audi A8?

A fan-shaped button with three heating wire symbols inside is the one. Here are the specific details: 1. Cause of fogging: In cold environments, when starting to drive, the transparent water vapor exhaled by people meets the cold windshield, turning back into liquid and becoming opaque, which affects driving visibility. 2. Fuel gauge: Indicated by the English letters FUEL. The pointer pointing to F means the fuel tank is full. Pointing to E means the fuel tank is empty. 3. Water temperature gauge: Indicated by the English letters TEMP. The pointer pointing to H means the water temperature is too high. Pointing to C means the water temperature is too low. Pointing to the area between the two letters means the water temperature is normal. 4. Oil pressure gauge: Indicated by the English letters OIL. The pointer in the red zone means the oil pressure is too low. Pointing to the green zone means the oil pressure is normal.
