A driver's license that hasn't been valid for a full year has 12 points. Here are specific details about point deductions during the probationary period: 1. Point deductions for a C1 driver's license during probation: If a C1 driver's license receives 1 to 11 points during probation, the driver should normally clear the violations to reset the points to zero. The points will be restored at the end of the scoring cycle. However, if the points reach 12, the probationary license will be automatically revoked. The driver must reapply for the C1 driver's license test, and a new license will be issued after passing all tests from Subject 1 to Subject 4. 2. Point deductions for A or B class driver's licenses during probation: For A or B class licenses, if 1 to 5 points are deducted, the driver should simply handle the violation records normally, and the points will be restored at the cycle's end. If 6 to 11 points are deducted, the probationary period will be extended by one year according to regulations. However, if the probationary license receives 12 or more points, the license grade will be revoked.

I just got my driver's license less than a year ago, and my current points are still at 12, just like all drivers starting from the same point. But as a novice, I have to be extra careful because if I accumulate 6 points during the probationary period, my probation will be extended by one year, and if I reach 12 points, my license will be revoked outright—much harsher than for experienced drivers. I remember once driving too fast on a rainy day and almost getting caught for speeding—luckily, no points were deducted. Since then, I’ve been more mindful of speed limits and road signs. New drivers are more prone to mistakes, often due to unfamiliarity with the rules, so I recommend reviewing the traffic regulations multiple times and installing a real-time navigation app to remind yourself to avoid errors. Safety first—only then can you drive with peace of mind.

Is there any way to avoid waiting ten days after failing the third driving test?

No, you must wait ten days before rescheduling the supplementary test for Subject Three. Below is extended information about Subject Three: 1. Regulations: According to Article 44 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses,' each subject can be tested once, and if the test is failed, a supplementary test can be taken once. If the supplementary test is not taken or is failed again, the current test session is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test. However, for Subject Two and Subject Three, the test must be rescheduled at least ten days later. If the Subject Three safety and civilized driving knowledge test is failed, the passed road driving skill test results remain valid. 2. Subject Three Test: Also known as the road driving skill test, it is the most important part of the motor vehicle test. The content of the Subject Three test varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed. In some regions, a nighttime test is also conducted, which mainly assesses the candidate's use of vehicle lights. 3. Subject Three Items: Include starting and stopping, driving straight, changing lanes, passing through signal-controlled intersections, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, overtaking, making U-turns, meeting oncoming vehicles, using lights during nighttime driving, shifting gears, taking cards on highways, and making left and right turns.

What Causes Loud Buzzing Noise and Vibration in Car Air Conditioning?

Car air conditioning producing loud buzzing noise and vibration may be caused by the following reasons: 1. Dirty air filter leading to excessive noise. 2. Debris in the blower fan blades: You can check this by turning on the blower without starting the engine. If the noise appears, it confirms the blower is the issue. 3. Deformed fan blades or damaged fan motor in the car air conditioning system. 4. Worn clutch bearing inside the air conditioning pump causing increased engine noise when the AC is on: This component cannot be replaced separately and requires replacement of the entire air conditioning pump assembly.

How to Determine if a Car Has Water Intrusion?

Here are specific methods and solutions for determining if a car has water intrusion: 1. Check the oil dipstick: If the dipstick is pulled out, wiped clean, reinserted, and comes out whitish, it indicates water intrusion. Solution: Replace the engine oil and oil filter. 2. Observe the oil color: If it appears milky white, it means water has entered and emulsified the oil. Solution: Replace the engine oil immediately to avoid engine damage. 3. Check for difficulty in ignition: Inspect if the coolant in the radiator is cloudy, has oil droplets, or has increased in volume. Solution: Seek after-sales service for repairs or replacement.

Will the car display when the tire is flat?

When a car tire is flat, it will be displayed on the vehicle's dashboard. The car dashboard will show a warning light to alert the owner of insufficient tire pressure. The warning light is represented by a flat ring with an exclamation mark in the middle. Tire pressure reset is the operation of resetting the tire pressure monitoring system after the tire pressure fault has been resolved. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button, release it after hearing a "ding" sound, and the tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the original data, and finally the dashboard fault light will go out, completing the tire pressure reset. When inflating tires, pay attention to the following points: Always check the pressure with a pressure gauge to avoid over-inflation, which may cause the tire to burst. After stopping the vehicle, wait for the tires to cool down before inflating, as the tire temperature rises during driving, affecting the pressure. Check the valve. If the valve and valve core do not fit smoothly, with protrusions, depressions, or other defects, it will be inconvenient to inflate and measure the pressure. Pay attention to cleanliness when inflating. The air being inflated must not contain moisture or oil to prevent the inner tube rubber from deteriorating and being damaged. Do not exceed the standard pressure too much when inflating and then release the air, nor should you over-inflate because you cannot inflate for a long time after being out. Exceeding the standard too much will cause the cords to overstretch, reducing their strength and affecting the tire's lifespan. Before inflating, wipe the dust off the valve, do not loosen the valve core, and after inflating, apply soapy water (or saliva) to the valve to check for leaks (small bubbles will appear if there is a leak). Install the valve cap tightly to prevent dust from entering the valve. When inflating radial tires, due to their structure, their sinking amount and contact area are larger, often leading to the misconception that they are under-inflated and thus over-inflating; or conversely, because their sinking amount and contact area are naturally larger, they may be mistakenly considered adequately inflated when the pressure is insufficient. Use a standard pressure gauge for accurate measurement. The operating pressure of radial tires should be 0.5-1.5 kg/cm2 higher than that of regular tires. The pressure gauge in the car or the one used in the tire workshop should be regularly calibrated to ensure accurate pressure checks.

What is the difference between manual and machine transmission fluid change?

The difference between the two is that the warranty period for gravity fluid change is relatively shorter compared to machine fluid change, and the effectiveness of machine fluid change is superior to gravity fluid change. Below are the specific details about transmission fluid: 1. Function: Transmission fluid is an oil product that keeps the car's gear system clean, providing lubrication to extend the lifespan of the transmission components. It also ensures effective lubrication at low temperatures and reduces fluid loss under harsh operating conditions. 2. Types: It is divided into automatic transmission fluid and gear oil. Automatic transmission fluid is specifically designed for automatic transmissions. Manual transmission fluid, commonly referred to as gear oil, is primarily made from petroleum-based lubricating oil or synthetic lubricating oil, blended with extreme pressure anti-wear agents and oiliness agents to form an important lubricating oil.
