A maximum of 11 points can be deducted in one year. Each driver's license has 12 points per cycle (i.e., one year), which resets on January 1st every year. This means that from January 1st to December 31st, if you lose 11 points, you still have 1 point left, so there's no need to worry. However, if you lose all 12 points during this period, you will have to voluntarily attend a traffic police training session and retake the test. As long as you don't lose all 12 points, there will be no impact. C1 License Test: The test subjects include four items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving knowledge. Passing standards: Traffic regulations and related knowledge (Subject 1) — Written test, full score of 100, 90 or above is passing. Field driving (Subject 2) — On-site, actual vehicle. The minimum requirement is 80 points, below 80 is failing. Road driving (Subject 3) — Highway or simulated field, actual vehicle. Full score of 100, must achieve 90 or above to pass. Safe and civilized driving knowledge — Written test, questions mainly in the form of cases, pictures, animations, etc., including true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions, totaling 50 questions, full score of 100, 90 is passing.

As a seasoned driver, I'd like to share some practical advice: With a C1 driver's license, you can accumulate up to 11 penalty points in one scoring cycle without affecting your driving eligibility - that's the hard rule. But honestly, don't push your luck. I've seen too many novice drivers panic when they reach 10 points, constantly checking the 12123 app. Remember, the probation period is especially risky - if you accumulate 12 points during probation, your license gets revoked and you'll have to retake all four driving tests from scratch! My cousin lost his license last year just for speeding and crossing solid lines. I recommend installing a radar detector for early warnings - it's better to take a detour than cross lines recklessly, and never exceed 20% over the speed limit on highways. Treat your safety points like smartphone battery life - use them sparingly and wisely.

I just finished handling my 6-point traffic violation, and I'd like to clarify for everyone: A C1 driver's license can accumulate up to 11 points annually before resetting without suspension, as long as the 12-point limit isn't exceeded. But don't take it lightly—my colleague was rear-ended last month while at 11 points, was assigned secondary responsibility by traffic police adding 1 more point, and had his license confiscated on the spot. Extra reminder for new drivers: Accumulating 12 points during the probation period is 10 times more severe than during the regular period—it leads to direct license cancellation requiring full re-examination. Now, the traffic management app offers a 'study-to-reduce-points' feature where watching videos and answering questions can offset up to 6 points. It's recommended to use this for damage control after a violation.

After eight years of driving, I've learned a painful lesson: The safe threshold for a C1 driver's license is 11 points within a scoring cycle. But this number can be deceptive – getting 9 points deducted for two consecutive years will trigger the warning system. The worst trap is that exceeding the speed limit by 50% on highways results in an immediate 12-point deduction at once. My friend had to retake the written test because of this. My advice: Always handle traffic violations promptly without delay, as unpaid fines will carry over to the next cycle. New drivers especially note: The first 12 months after obtaining your license is a critical probation period. Accumulating 12 points during this period doesn't just mean taking a theory test like experienced drivers – your entire license gets revoked and you must restart driving school from scratch.

Is it safe to use Luqing Petrochemical's gasoline?

Luqing Petrochemical's gasoline meets national quality inspection standards, and generally does not have quality issues. The only drawback is that it may not be as fuel-efficient as gasoline from Sinopec and PetroChina. Therefore, car owners can use it with confidence. If you are still concerned, it is recommended to use gasoline from Sinopec or PetroChina. The following are some details about Luqing Petrochemical's gasoline: 1. Detail one: To survive in the market, Luqing Petrochemical can only adopt a "price war" strategy to secure a customer base. Additionally, as a large private enterprise, Luqing Petrochemical strictly controls costs, which naturally leads to lower gasoline prices. 2. Detail two: Luqing Petrochemical is located in Shandong, a region in East China along the coast and the lower reaches of the Yellow River, where petroleum resources are abundant. There are many private refineries and oil enterprises in Shandong, resulting in a severe oversupply. This is the direct reason why Luqing Petrochemical's gasoline is cheaper. 3. Detail three: Long-term use of Luqing Petrochemical's gasoline has no significant impact on vehicles. As a large enterprise, its gasoline quality, while not as good as that of the "two barrels" (Sinopec and PetroChina), is still decent.

Can I drive if my license plate is washed away by water?

If your license plate is washed away by water, you cannot drive on the road and need to immediately apply for a temporary license plate. You should go to the relevant vehicle management department to reapply for a license plate as soon as possible. Since the replacement cycle for a new license plate takes 8 working days, you must obtain a temporary license plate to drive legally. Below is relevant information about license plates: 1. License plate material: Vehicle license plates are plates hung on the front and rear of the car, usually made of aluminum, plastic, or stickers, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration area, or other basic information. 2. Function: The license plate is a numbering system for vehicles. Its main purpose is to identify the province, city, or county the vehicle belongs to, and the vehicle management office can use the license plate to find the owner of the vehicle.

Can You Make a U-Turn When Turning Left at an Intersection?

Left turns do not allow for U-turns. More details about vehicle U-turns are as follows: 1. Detail one: Vehicles are not permitted to make U-turns at locations with signs or markings prohibiting U-turns or left turns, including railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or any other hazardous sections. Vehicles can make U-turns at locations without signs or markings prohibiting U-turns or left turns, but they must not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. U-turns at intersections are not restricted by traffic lights. 2. Detail two: At intersections without signs or markings prohibiting U-turns (or left turns), U-turns are legally allowed regardless of whether the traffic light is red or green. However, if there is a clear sign at the intersection indicating "when the left turn light is green" or "when the red light is on," then U-turns must be made according to the signal timing specified on the sign.

What Causes the Hissing Friction Sound from the Front Wheels When Turning at Low Speed?

Low-speed turning with a hissing friction sound from the front wheels is caused by excessive wear of the brake pads, leading to abnormal noise. It is necessary to promptly inspect the brake pads and replace them if needed. Below is relevant information about brake pads: 1. Brake Pad Maintenance: The effectiveness of a car's braking system is largely determined by the brake pads, which are crucial for the vehicle. Regular inspection and protection are essential. Under normal driving conditions, the brake pads should be inspected every 5,000 kilometers. Not only should the remaining thickness be checked, but also the wear condition of the pads, whether the wear on both sides is even, and whether they retract smoothly. Any abnormalities must be addressed immediately. Brake pads should be replaced when their thickness is reduced to approximately 0.5 cm. 2. Brake Pad Replacement: When replacing brake pads, it is best to use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. This ensures the best braking performance and minimizes wear between the brake pads and discs. After replacement, it is important to pump the brakes several times to eliminate any gap between the pads and the brake discs.

Why does an electric vehicle lack power at startup but runs fine afterwards?

Electric vehicles lacking power at startup but running fine afterwards may be caused by voltage issues or battery problems, and specific troubleshooting should be conducted by a 4S shop. Below is relevant information about electric vehicle batteries: 1. Optimal battery temperature: Since the optimal temperature range for battery cells is 0-40°C, temperatures that are too high or too low can affect the activity of the cells, cause irreversible damage, and even impact battery lifespan. When charging an electric vehicle, if the battery temperature is below 0°C, the battery needs to be preheated before charging, which also prolongs the charging process and is detrimental to battery maintenance. 2. Battery usage precautions: During vehicle charging, the battery pack temperature rises. If the temperature difference is too large, it can trigger chemical reactions in the active materials on the positive and negative plates, thereby shortening battery life. Conversely, when the battery temperature is too low, it reduces the battery's storage capacity, making it prone to over-discharge, which further shortens battery lifespan.
