Brake pads should be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Below is additional information: 1. Brake pads, also known as brake shoes, are the most critical safety components in a vehicle's braking system. They play a decisive role in the effectiveness of all braking actions. 2. Brake pads consist of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored using a furnace temperature tracker to ensure quality by detecting temperature distribution. 3. The heat insulation layer is made of non-conductive materials designed to insulate heat. 4. The friction block is composed of friction materials and adhesives. When braking, it is pressed against the brake rotor or drum to generate friction, thereby achieving the goal of slowing down or stopping the vehicle.

A B2 driver's license with 8 points deducted: If the license is in the probationary period, the probationary period will be extended by one year. If 6 or more points (but less than 12 points) are recorded again during the extended probationary period, the driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked.

During verification, they must participate in no less than three hours of study and examination. Any traffic violations must be resolved before verification.
