The traffic management department of the public security authority will confiscate the motor vehicle driving license. The following are the new regulations for deducting 12 points from a C1 driving license: 1. Accumulated points reaching 12: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall confiscate their motor vehicle driving license. 2. The motor vehicle driver: must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the driving license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to participate in a seven-day study of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After the driver completes the study, the vehicle management office shall conduct a test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. If the test is passed, the points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driving license will be returned; if the test is failed, the driver must continue to participate in study and testing. Those who refuse to participate in the study or testing will have their motor vehicle driving license suspended by the traffic management department of the public security authority. 3. If a motor vehicle driver: has more than two instances of reaching 12 points or accumulates more than 24 points within a scoring cycle, the vehicle management office shall also conduct a road driving skills test within 10 days after the driver passes the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. For those taking the road driving skills test, the test will be conducted according to the highest permissible vehicle type indicated on their motor vehicle driving license.

Last year, my driver's license was deducted 12 points because I was driving way over the speed limit too often. The process went like this: the traffic police directly confiscated my license, and within 15 days, I had to go to the DMV to sign up for a training course. That training lasted a full seven days, with daily classes on traffic regulations—pretty dull stuff. After completing the course, I was scheduled to retake the written test (Subject 1). Luckily, I had prepped a lot using a mobile app, so I passed on the first try. Remember, you can only get your license back after passing the test, and you definitely shouldn’t drive around in the meantime. The whole process takes about half a month and costs a few hundred bucks. Honestly, I’ve learned my lesson—driving carefully from now on. One experience with this hassle is more than enough.

Losing all 12 points on your driver's license is no trivial matter. The most critical reminder is the 15-day deadline: You must register for the mandatory training course at the DMV within this period after receiving the notice. Probationary drivers should be especially cautious, as accumulating 12 points will result in immediate license revocation. The training lasts seven full days, covering traffic regulations exclusively, followed by an exam immediately after completion. Driving during this period constitutes unlicensed operation, punishable by fines or even detention. A friend of mine delayed handling it and ended up having to retake the road test six months later. Remember to bring your penalty notice and original ID card, and choose the nearest DMV for training to avoid wasting time traveling long distances.

What is the appropriate tire pressure for Buick?

Buick's normal tire pressure ranges from 2.2 to 2.5 bar. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Tire pressure is closely related to the vehicle's performance, such as comfort and load capacity, and it also affects the lifespan of the tires. Air pressure is the lifeblood of tires; both too high and too low pressure will shorten the tire's service life. Tire pressure is a crucial factor affecting tire lifespan and fuel economy. Improper tire pressure selection can lead to power cycling, increasing tire wear and reducing service life. Considering its impact on vehicle dynamics, it is essential to choose the appropriate tire pressure to extend tire life and improve fuel efficiency. The dimensions of the Buick Regal are 4902mm in length, 1863mm in width, and 1456mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2829mm.

How to Check the Production Date of a Car?

Methods to check the production date of a car: The production date can be found on the nameplate, VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), and the car's user manual. The nameplate is located in the engine compartment; the VIN can be found at the lower left corner of the front windshield, on the hinge pillar, lock pillar, or door edge of the driver's side door; it may also be located in the engine compartment, with the exact position varying by car model. The VIN, also known as the chassis number, is usually near the driver's side wiper. The 10th digit of the VIN represents the production year of the car. Generally, the VIN can be checked through the following four channels: 1. On the front partition of the engine compartment; 2. On the left side of the vehicle's dashboard; 3. On the vehicle's nameplate on the central pillar.

What does engine knocking mean in a car?

Engine knocking in a car is a fault phenomenon caused by premature ignition. In diesel vehicles, fuel is injected into the cylinder before the piston reaches the top dead center, leading to combustion while the piston continues to move upward, producing a specific sound—this is the phenomenon of engine knocking. In gasoline vehicles, high-voltage sparks are generated before the piston reaches the top dead center, igniting the air-fuel mixture and producing the same sound. Knocking is a primary form of abnormal combustion in engines, often occurring at high compression ratios. When it happens, the engine produces a high-frequency metallic knocking sound, hence it is also referred to as detonation.
