Is the Clearance Date at 0:00 or 24:00?

The clearance date for a driver's license is at 0:00 on the expiration day. For example, if the initial issuance date is August 1, 2018, the point clearance date will be at 0:00 on August 1, 2019. According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' the demerit point cycle for a driver's license is 12 months. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates fewer than 12 demerit points within a cycle, has paid all fines, and resolved all violations, the points will be cleared, and the next cycle will start with 12 points again. Otherwise, the points will carry over to the next cycle. For instance, if 6 points were deducted in the previous cycle and the violations and fines were not resolved by the deadline, the driver will only have 6 points available for deduction in the next cycle. If a driver accumulates 12 or more demerit points within one cycle, a Class C license will be temporarily suspended by the traffic management authorities. The driver must attend traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge training and pass an exam within 15 days. Successfully passing the exam will clear the points and return the license; otherwise, the driver must continue training and retake the exam. For Class A and B licenses, the driver will face a downgrade penalty. The vehicle management office will revoke the highest permitted vehicle class, and the driver must complete the downgrade and license renewal process within 30 days.

Can I use my own photo for the driver's license?

You can use your own photo for the driver's license, but you need to ensure that the photo passes the inspection by the relevant authorities. The driver's license photo can only be changed when applying for or replacing the license. If you think the photo on your driver's license is unflattering, you can apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office (even if the license is not lost). At that time, you can carefully select a good photo and complete the procedure at the vehicle management office by paying the processing fee. Requirements for driver's license photos: Within the first 6 months of applying for a motor vehicle driver's license, a straight-edged, front-facing, bareheaded, single-person, half-length ID photo of yourself is required. The image should be clear, with rich layers, natural expression, and no obvious distortion. The background color should be white, and you should wear dark-colored clothing. The photo size should be 32mm x 22mm, with a head width of 14mm to 16mm and a head length of 19mm to 22mm. Girls should not have their hair loose, and boys' hair should not be too long. The expression should be natural. People with long hair should expose both ears, and the head and face should not be tilted, sideways, overly made-up, or have accessories that affect facial recognition. Location and precautions for taking driver's license photos: Vehicle management offices or outside photo studios with legitimate business licenses. If taking photos at an outside studio, simply inform the studio that you need "photos for a driver's license," and the studio will follow the specifications accordingly. Just follow the studio's instructions to complete the photo session.

What does a triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicate as a fault?

A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault indicator in vehicles. Apart from the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation mark indicators: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow parentheses with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Tire pressure anomaly: A parentheses with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the vehicle's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.

How to Clean Stains That Can't Be Washed Off a Car?

Methods for dealing with stains on car paint are as follows: 1. Cleaning bird droppings: To protect the vehicle from sun exposure, it is often parked under the shade of trees, but this can't prevent bird droppings. The corrosiveness of bird droppings is not very strong, so cleaning them is relatively easy. Use some clean water with a soft cloth or tissue to wipe them off. For careless owners who discover bird droppings after a long time, it's best to use crystal wax or beauty wax for waxing treatment. 2. Cleaning asphalt: Many roads are made of asphalt, and in hot summers, melted asphalt can easily splash onto the vehicle. If the contamination is not severe, use a tar remover to dissolve the dried asphalt and then wipe it off with a clean cloth. If not treated promptly, asphalt can penetrate the paint surface and cause corrosion. In such cases, it's best to seek professional help. Typically, they will first try using polishing wax, and if that doesn't work, they may use professional automotive sandpaper for cleaning.

Does exposing a car to intense sunlight affect the paint?

Exposing a car to intense sunlight does affect the paint. Here is a detailed explanation: 1. Summer: The scorching summer sun can cause significant damage to the car's paint. 2. Damage: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the paint to lose its original luster, making the surface appear dull, faded, and aged, greatly diminishing the car's aesthetic appeal and value. 3. Direct impact: The paint is the most vulnerable part during high temperatures. When water droplets are present on the car's surface, they can act like lenses, focusing sunlight and potentially burning the surface. Here are some additional tips for summer car maintenance: 1. Sunshade: Sunshades, typically made of foil, can reflect most sunlight and are highly effective for short-term parking. They also prevent direct sunlight from hitting the dashboard. 2. Car cover: Besides protecting the paint from aging, car covers also provide shade and prevent sun damage. If you need to park outdoors for an extended period, a car cover is essential.

What is the best tire pressure in summer?

In summer, a tire pressure of 230kPa is most suitable. Below is the relationship between tire pressure and vehicle performance: Relationship between tire pressure and load capacity: Tire pressure is an indicator of a vehicle's load capacity. The load capacity of a vehicle depends on the level of tire pressure. According to the relationship between the tire's load index, tire pressure, and load capacity, the higher the tire pressure, the greater the load capacity; the lower the pressure, the smaller the load capacity. Relationship between tire pressure and vehicle power: When a vehicle is driving at a constant speed on a level road, it must overcome rolling resistance from the ground and air resistance. Tire pressure has a significant impact on the rolling resistance coefficient. Relationship between tire pressure and vehicle ride comfort: The ride comfort of a vehicle is directly related to the comfort of the driver and passengers. In fact, the use of inflatable tires has greatly improved the riding comfort of vehicles.
