Non-on-site traffic violations mainly include dynamic violations and static violations. Driving against traffic is a dynamic violation, which is generally recorded through snapshots, while some road sections use surveillance videos for recording. Here is more relevant information: Penalties for driving against traffic: According to relevant regulations, motor vehicle drivers who violate prohibition signs or markings, fail to overtake or yield as required, or drive against traffic will be penalized with 3 demerit points and a fine of 200 RMB. If driving against traffic occurs on a highway, the penalty is 12 demerit points, a 200 RMB fine, and possible suspension of the driver's license for twelve months.

To be honest, having driven for many years, I often chat with friends about fines for wrong-way driving. To know if you've been caught, the most straightforward way is to check if there's a flash from the traffic cameras on the wrong-way lane, especially at night or in low-light conditions where the camera flash is very noticeable. If you don't see a flash, don't relax too much, as many new cameras now use infrared or low-key modes without flashing. I recommend waiting three to five days and checking your phone messages or email, as traffic violation notices usually arrive by then. To be more proactive, download a local traffic app like "Traffic Management 12123," where you can enter your license plate number to check violation records in real-time—it's convenient and worry-free. From experience, I can also say that cameras are often placed at intersections, highway entrances, or near school zones. Paying attention to road signs and surveillance markers while driving can help avoid a lot of trouble. Remember, wrong-way driving is risky—fines, points deducted, and damage to your car are all possible. Safe driving is the right way to go.

In my spare time, I enjoy studying traffic technology and understand some camera working principles. To know if you've been caught running a red light, it depends on the camera type: when triggered by radar or induction loops, there might be a flash signal which is easily noticeable; but the latest infrared cameras have no light emission, making them more stealthy. I recommend checking for violations through official channels like traffic management apps or websites as soon as possible after the incident. Just enter your license plate and personal information to view records, which are usually updated within a week after the violation. From a practical perspective, I'll add that these cameras are often installed at accident-prone spots like intersections or tunnel entrances. You can check surveillance areas in advance using map apps. Develop a habit of regularly checking for violations - don't wait until the ticket arrives to regret it. Safe travel is important, and following rules can reduce such worries.

As a young driver, I've made mistakes in the past by rushing. To know if you've been caught for a wrong-way action, check for details: was there a flash? If yes, you're likely caught. But don't panic if there's no flash. The most reliable way is to check for violations via a mobile app like Traffic Management 12123—just search your license plate. Waiting a few days for an SMS notification also works, and it's quick. I know cameras are mostly at intersections with surveillance signs; avoiding these spots can reduce risks. But honestly, fewer violations mean less hassle and expense.

Does an illegal parking notice deduct points?

An illegal parking notice does not deduct points, it only imposes a fine. There are three scenarios for illegal parking penalties: 1. If the motor vehicle driver is present and leaves immediately, no penalty is imposed; 2. If the motor vehicle driver is not present, a fine of 50 yuan is imposed; 3. If the motor vehicle driver is present but refuses to leave immediately, a fine of 200 yuan is imposed. Illegal parking refers to parking a vehicle in an unauthorized location. After receiving an illegal parking notice, it is necessary to promptly bring the driver's license and vehicle registration certificate to the traffic enforcement department or the nearest traffic processing center for resolution. If more than fifteen working days pass, it may result in adverse consequences.

What is the mnemonic for gear shifting techniques for beginners?

Mnemonic for gear shifting techniques for beginners: 1. Start in first gear - After getting in the car, fasten the seatbelt, hold the steering wheel with the left hand, fully depress the clutch with the left foot, place the right hand on the gear lever to engage first gear, release the handbrake, then gradually release the clutch to start moving slowly. 2. Shift gears progressively - Start in first gear, immediately shift to second gear once the car moves, shift to third gear when speed exceeds 20 mph (no need for fourth gear), and directly jump to fifth gear when speed reaches 45 mph. 3. Keep eyes on the road - Beginners may instinctively look at the dashboard or gear lever while shifting, which is dangerous. Always maintain forward vision. When shifting, release the accelerator with the right foot, wait for stable speed, depress the clutch with the left foot, promptly change gears with the right hand while keeping the left hand firmly on the steering wheel.

Is the highway free on New Year's Day?

Highway tolls are not waived on New Year's Day. The toll-free periods on Chinese highways are limited to four national statutory holidays: Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day, as well as any consecutive holidays officially designated by the State Council. The free period starts at 0:00 on the first day of the holiday and ends at 24:00 on the last day. For ordinary roads, the toll-free status is determined by the time when the vehicle passes through the toll gate, while for highways, it is determined by the time when the vehicle exits the toll gate. The toll-free policy applies to passenger vehicles with seven seats or fewer, including motorcycles that are permitted to travel on ordinary toll roads. China implements a vehicle registration system, and motor vehicles must be registered with the traffic management department of the public security authorities before they can be driven on the road. For unregistered vehicles that need temporary road access, a temporary pass must be obtained.

How to Get a Card on the Highway with a Temporary License Plate?

The method of obtaining a card on the highway with a temporary license plate is the same as that for a car with a regular license plate. The automatic card dispenser at the highway entrance detects the presence of a vehicle through magnetic field sensing and does not distinguish between temporary and regular license plates. However, the temporary license plate must be legitimate; otherwise, it is illegal. The steps to get a card are: 1. Slow down when entering the self-service card dispensing lane, move the car as close as possible to the edge of the card dispenser, and then press the button to get the card. The car should not be too far from the dispenser, or you won't be able to reach it. Opening the door to get out and take the card will waste time and may result in penalty points. 2. Whether at a manual card dispensing window or a self-service card dispenser, always shift to neutral and engage the handbrake. Many drivers fail to shift to neutral when taking the card, and if they accidentally press the accelerator, the car may lunge forward and hit the barrier, which is very dangerous.

How far can a 48v20ah battery actually go?

For a new 48v20ah electric vehicle battery, the actual range is about 50 to 60 kilometers. For an old battery, the range can be calculated based on driving habits. If you want to extend the range of a 48v20ah electric vehicle, you can add an additional battery pack. Currently, there are two types of electric vehicle batteries on the market: lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries. The lifespan of a lead-acid battery is defined by its capacity fading to 30% of its original capacity, typically around 300 full charge-discharge cycles, with a lifespan of about one and a half years. If the riding distance is short, it can last up to about 3 years. Lithium batteries have a strict charge cycle limit, around 1000 to 1200 cycles, with a lifespan of 3 to 5 years. Charging lithium batteries is the opposite of lead-acid batteries—they should be fully discharged before recharging. If the battery is not used for a long time, it should be fully charged every two months to protect the battery and extend its lifespan.
