A1 driver's license will not be affected as long as the total points deducted do not reach 12. Here are some precautions regarding the probationary period of the driver's license: Probationary period sign: During the probationary period, a uniform probationary period sign printed by the traffic management department should be posted on the rear of the vehicle being driven. Highway driving: When driving a motor vehicle on the highway during the probationary period, the driver should be accompanied by a driver who has held a driver's license for the corresponding or higher vehicle type for more than three years. Among them, when driving a small automatic passenger car for the disabled, the driver can be accompanied by a driver who holds a driver's license for small automatic passenger cars or higher vehicle types.

I've been driving buses for over a decade and know the A1 license point system well. The key is not to exceed 5 points - with 1-5 points deducted, you can still use your license normally. Once you reach 6 points, you'll need to go for verification, which involves troublesome traffic department training. The scoring cycle lasts 12 months, after which points are reset. Always drive carefully - avoid running red lights and speeding, as these minor violations easily accumulate points. Safety comes first - bus drivers bear heavy responsibilities, so make it a habit to check maps and traffic signals regularly.

New drivers often worry about accumulating too many demerit points. I inquired about this right after getting my A1 license. If you have 5 or fewer points deducted, it won’t affect your driving, and you can continue using your license as usual. However, if you accumulate 6 or more points, you’ll need to go through a review process. The points reset to zero at the end of each annual cycle. Simply put, keep your points below 5, drive calmly, and follow road signs to stay safe.

The maximum demerit points for an A1 driver's license is 5, which does not affect its use. 1-5 points deducted is acceptable; from 6 points onwards, a review is required. The demerit points are reset every 12 months. Safe driving is the key.

How long does it take to apply window film to the entire car?

The time required for car window film application depends on the area to be covered and the difficulty level, typically ranging from 3 to 5 hours. Here are some precautions to note when applying car window film: 1. Avoid choosing films with too low light transmittance, especially for the front side windows' explosion-proof film. A light transmittance of over 85% is more suitable, as it won't obstruct the rearview mirror's visibility and ensures good visibility during rainy nights, reversing, or making U-turns. 2. After the film is applied, avoid rolling down the windows or washing the car with water for three days to prevent the explosion-proof film from peeling off due to moisture. In rainy weather, it's generally recommended to avoid rolling down windows or washing the car for four days to a week. 3. Pay attention to the harmonious combination of the explosion-proof film and the car's body color. Generally, colors like green, sky blue, gray, brown, and natural tones can match all car colors.

What are the effects of increasing wheel size?

Here are the impacts of increasing wheel size on a car: 1. Larger wheels have stronger load-bearing capacity: Wheels are usually made of steel to save costs, but larger wheels often use aluminum alloy wheels, especially those made by forging processes. The load-bearing capacity of these wheels is five times that of ordinary steel wheels. 2. Larger wheels improve cornering performance: After wheel modification, the contact area increases, enhancing the vehicle's stability during cornering and significantly improving cornering performance. 3. Larger wheels may reduce ride comfort: Large-sized wheels can affect ride comfort. Generally, the outer diameter of the tire is a fixed value, meaning the larger the wheel, the thinner the tire's sidewall. This leads to poorer isolation of road noise, increasing cabin noise and affecting interior quietness. 4. Larger wheels may reduce car performance: Large-sized wheels can impact acceleration and braking performance. As wheel size increases, the width also increases accordingly. Larger and wider wheels naturally weigh more, requiring more power to drive them, which affects acceleration performance. 5. Larger wheels may increase fuel consumption: Large-sized wheels can raise fuel consumption. Larger wheels have an advantage in diameter, and the corresponding tread width is also larger. The benefit is that the increased contact area between the wheel and the road can enhance grip, improving vehicle stability. However, the trade-off is increased friction, which can lead to higher fuel consumption to some extent.

How many spark plugs should be replaced at once for a sedan?

Replace all of them. Below are the relevant details: 1. Theoretically, even if you replace just one spark plug with the same brand and model, the discharge gap between the new and old spark plugs will differ, as will their resistance values. Not replacing all of them may lead to issues such as engine shaking, difficulty in acceleration, and increased fuel consumption. This is because differences in spark plugs can cause variations in ignition timing and energy, resulting in an imbalance in power among the four cylinders. 2. Spark plugs have a certain lifespan, and products from the same batch should have similar quality and longevity. If one or two spark plugs have issues, it indicates that the others are nearing the end of their lifespan as well. Therefore, replacing them all at once prevents future problems. Currently, the common electrode materials on the market include copper, nickel alloy, platinum, and iridium (platinum and iridium are generally referred to as precious metals). The electrical conductivity of these metals increases from left to right (copper < nickel alloy < platinum < iridium), while the voltage required for ignition decreases from left to right (copper > nickel alloy > platinum > iridium). Thus, precious metal spark plugs place less load on the engine and are beneficial for reducing fuel consumption. Additionally, precious metals have a longer lifespan, though their price increases with performance.

What are the consequences of overfilling the fuel tank?

There are four consequences of overfilling the fuel tank, which are: 1. Fuel leakage: Gasoline at gas stations is stored underground where temperatures are lower. Especially during hot summers, due to thermal expansion, if the tank is filled too much, fuel may overflow from the vent hole, increasing the risk of fire. 2. Clogging the vehicle's vent hole: Once the vent hole is blocked, negative pressure will form inside the fuel tank, leading to poor fuel supply. 3. Damage to the vehicle's charcoal canister: The charcoal canister is usually located between the fuel tank and the engine. Since gasoline is a volatile liquid, the fuel tank often contains vapor at room temperature. The fuel evaporation emission control system directs these vapors into the combustion process to prevent them from escaping into the atmosphere. The activated charcoal canister plays a crucial role in this process. If the tank is overfilled, liquid gasoline instead of vapor may enter the canister, causing damage. 4. Carcinogenic gasoline vapor: The activated charcoal canister is typically located near the fresh air intake for the cabin. Overfilling the tank can cause gasoline vapors to enter the cabin, posing health risks to passengers.

How Often Should the Transmission Fluid in an Audi Q5 Be Changed?

The transmission fluid in an Audi Q5 generally needs to be changed every 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers or every 2 years. It is recommended to use genuine Audi transmission fluid or German ZF transmission fluid. Transmission fluid is essential for maintaining the cleanliness of the gear system, ensuring smooth operation of the transmission, and prolonging the lifespan of the transmission components. Gravity Drain Method: After loosening the fastening nut at the bottom of the oil pan, the transmission fluid will automatically drain out through the drain hole. The downside is that this method cannot completely remove all the old fluid, as residual fluid may remain in low spots or hard-to-reach areas. Flush with a Machine: New transmission fluid is added to a flushing machine, which connects to the transmission's fluid lines. The new fluid pushes out the old fluid under the machine's action. This method cleans the fluid lines more thoroughly. The more new fluid used, the cleaner the system becomes. A machine flush typically requires 12 liters or more of transmission fluid. Oil Pan Removal Method: This method involves removing the oil pan for a thorough cleaning and replacement, including addressing any dirty oil filters. However, removing the oil pan is a labor-intensive task, which increases the service cost.
