C-class driver's licenses require a seven-day re-education and retaking of Subject One if 12 points are deducted within one scoring cycle. However, different types of driver's licenses have different handling methods. The following is relevant information about driver's license point deductions: 1. Introduction: According to Article 43 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses' (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 91): The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is initially issued. Therefore, the initial issuance date of your driver's license is the clearance date, with each anniversary being a scoring cycle. 2. Deduction Records: Uncleared deduction records mean that even after the violation is processed, the deduction record will still remain in the driver's license record; that is, the deduction records of each scoring cycle will always be retained in the driver's license record for future reference; they are only reset to zero upon expiration and accumulated anew.

After my driver's license was fully deducted 12 points, I personally went through this process. At that time, I was quite panicked. The DMV directly sent me a notice, requiring me to sign up for a 7-day traffic safety education course. The classes were held daily, covering various rules like the consequences of speeding and drunk driving. The instructor taught vividly, even using real accident cases as examples. After completing the course, I had to take an exam, similar to the written test for a driver's license (Subject 1). The questions weren't difficult, but required serious preparation. I studied the question bank and took mock tests, scoring 95 on my first attempt. After passing the exam, I went to the DMV to retrieve my license, feeling much relieved. The entire process, from registration to completion, took about two weeks. Now, I drive with extra caution to avoid any further issues.

Will the electronic eye notify if it captures unlicensed driving?

Electronic eyes that capture unlicensed driving will notify. Typically, electronic eyes only monitor violations such as illegal parking, wrong-way driving, and running red lights. However, there are some advanced electronic eyes capable of detecting such behavior. These cameras are equipped with facial recognition technology, allowing them to clearly capture the driver's face. The system then matches the driver's information to confirm whether they hold a valid driver's license. Cameras with facial recognition can detect unlicensed driving, but they are currently only available on select electronic police devices and are not yet widespread, generally deployed on major urban roads. Most cases of unlicensed driving are detected through on-site law enforcement.

What Lights to Use When Driving at Night?

When driving at night, turn on the low beams, and always use turn signals when making turns. Urban roads are well-equipped with lighting facilities, so there's no need to use high beams. However, when encountering sections with insufficient lighting ahead, switch to high beams as they are positioned higher than low beams, enabling illumination of distant and elevated objects. Low beams are designed for short-range lighting, featuring wide coverage but limited projection distance, with non-adjustable focus. In urban areas with heavy traffic, using high beams not only causes glare for oncoming vehicles but also affects the visibility of pedestrians on both sides of the road.

Why Are Volkswagen Engines Made of Cast Iron?

Volkswagen engines are made of cast iron for the following reasons: 1. The cast iron cylinder block has a smaller volume, making it more convenient for engine compartment layout; 2. In terms of strength per unit volume, aluminum alloy cylinder blocks are weaker than cast iron ones, and cast iron cylinder blocks offer greater strength; 3. Cast iron cylinder blocks provide better modification potential. After ECU tuning, cylinder reinforcement, and installation of turbo kits and intake/exhaust kits, they can deliver higher horsepower. Volkswagen is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany. The VW in its logo stands for the first letters of its full name, resembling three 'V's formed by middle and index fingers, symbolizing the company's and its products' victory.

What Causes the Water Temperature Warning Light to Illuminate? How to Handle It?

The water temperature warning light illuminates due to excessively high water temperature. In such a situation, you should find a safe place to pull over, but do not turn off the engine. Instead, exit the vehicle and open the hood to allow the engine to cool down. High water temperature is mostly caused by the coolant not being replaced for a long time or issues with the coolant circulation. Solutions: 1. Lack of antifreeze: Check for leaks, repair the issue, and then refill to the correct level; 2. Poor water circulation: The thermostat may not open properly or is stuck in a fully closed position, requiring replacement; 3. Reduced water pump efficiency leading to poor circulation and high temperature, possibly due to damaged pump blades, necessitating a pump replacement; 4. The cooling fan fails to operate properly when the water temperature rises, requiring inspection of fuses, relay circuits, or checking and replacing the fan.
