One person can add a maximum of 15 points per year. Point addition system: This point addition system is only applicable to certain regions, such as Guangzhou car owners, who can currently report other car owners' violations to add points to their own driver's license. However, it should be noted that a maximum of 5 reports of other car owners' violations can be made per year; additionally, these points cannot be combined with the 12 points within the scoring cycle. Scoring cycle: A driver's license has a scoring cycle of 12 points. If all 12 points are deducted, the owner must undergo further study and then take an exam. Currently, the driver's license implements a point addition system, meaning that the scoring cycle of a driver's license is no longer limited to just 12 points.

I've been driving for over twenty years and always feel there are common misunderstandings about the driver's license issue. In fact, the license doesn't have a point-adding function. It operates on a 12-month cycle starting from the date you obtained it, with a total of 12 points allocated. Each violation, such as running a red light (6 points deducted) or not wearing a seatbelt (1 point deducted), reduces your points. Once all points are deducted, you must retake courses and exams to regain your driving privileges. I personally experienced a minor violation once, which made me realize how important safe driving is—regularly checking your speed and avoiding phone calls while driving can save you a lot of trouble. At the end of the year, if you still have points left, they will automatically reset, and the cycle starts anew. Remember, this isn't a game to earn points but a safety net to protect you and others. Don't drive recklessly—losing all your points would be time-consuming and costly to resolve.

Is It Safe If No Message Is Received After 10 Days of Running a Red Light?

Not receiving a message within 10 days doesn't necessarily mean it's safe. After running a red light, you typically receive a notification within 3 to 7 days, with the latest being around 13 days. However, some cities now offer "Instant Notification for Electronic Police Capture," where you receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But this notification does not equate to a traffic violation; it merely serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it constitutes a violation takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners usually do not receive an immediate violation SMS; there is a delay, and the duration varies. After the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center, where it is compiled and then verified by relevant staff. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via SMS. Only then does the owner receive the corresponding violation message. After receiving the violation SMS, the vehicle owner must settle all previous violations within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. Generally, if you suspect a violation, you can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received beyond 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management through online or terminal methods. Methods include website queries, phone queries, SMS queries, mobile app queries, and offline terminal queries. Website Query: Search for "vehicle violation query" and enter vehicle information to check. Phone Query: Dial local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 to confirm traffic violations. Violations can only be processed at the location of the violation or the vehicle's license plate issuance location. For on-site violations, such as those directly caught by traffic police, processing must occur at the violation location. SMS Query: Open the SMS interface on your phone, enter "WZ" followed by the license plate number and color, and send it to 1062650001. Mobile App Query: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, select "Violation Query," and address any unresolved violations. Offline Terminal Query: Visit the local traffic management hall and use the self-service terminal to enter the license plate number and check recent violation records.

Why Can't the Rear Window Glass Open?

If the car window glass cannot open, it may be due to the following three common situations: 1. Glass vibration with abnormal noise. This indicates that the window regulator screws may be loose. 2. The window regulator is stuck. 3. All window regulators fail to work, losing the lifting function. Below is an introduction to car glass maintenance: 1. Proper use of windshield washer fluid: There are many types of windshield washer fluids available in the domestic market, mainly divided into three categories: summer windshield washer fluid, winter antifreeze windshield washer fluid, and special antifreeze windshield washer fluid. Summer windshield washer fluid is mainly used to remove insect residues from the mirror surface; winter antifreeze windshield washer fluid ensures that car components are not damaged when the temperature drops below -20°C; special antifreeze windshield washer fluid is mainly used in extremely cold northern regions, ensuring the car does not freeze even at -40°C. 2. Purchase glass insurance for your car: Glass breakage insurance is a commercial insurance where the insurance company compensates for the loss of the insured vehicle's glass breaking during use. Glass breakage refers to situations where only the windshield and window glass of the insured vehicle are damaged. 3. Apply window film to your car: In the scorching summer, heat-insulating film plays a significant role, not only blocking the blazing sun but also providing heat insulation and UV protection. Industry experts point out that heat insulation is one of the main reasons consumers choose window film. Additionally, the film's light transmittance and UV protection index are also important factors consumers should consider. However, many consumers have misconceptions when selecting heat-insulating films.
