It is normal for a new car to have been out of the factory for four months. Here is the relevant introduction: Within 3 months: Strictly speaking, a car within 3 months is not considered a stock car, but anything under half a year is generally acceptable. Stock car: There is no clear legal definition, but within the automotive sales industry, the term "stock car" does exist. It typically refers to domestically produced cars that have not been sold for more than 3-5 months after leaving the factory, as well as imported cars that have not been sold for more than 6 months after leaving the factory. Things to note: When picking up the car, pay attention to the odometer reading, which is usually between 20-80 kilometers. As a commodity, cars are large in size, expensive, have high storage costs, and tie up a significant amount of dealer capital. Therefore, dealers generally do not allow inventory cars to remain in stock for an extended period.

Is the 'Study to Reduce Points' a Point Addition or Deduction?

The 'Study to Reduce Points' is not about adding points; it refers to deducting previously accumulated points due to traffic violations. It does not serve the purpose of adding points but can achieve the goal of reducing previously accumulated points. It cannot be used to offset points during a violation. The 'Study to Reduce Points' is a measure for drivers holding a driver's license who have been penalized for traffic violations. By participating in online traffic safety education and passing the exam, they can have their penalty points reduced. This initiative is a public service measure uniformly deployed by the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. Function: The 'Study to Reduce Points' reduces existing penalty points on a driver's license, not adding points or substituting for violation penalties. The points obtained through this program are used to clear existing penalty records. For example, if a driver has been penalized 6 points, passing the 'Study to Reduce Points' exam can clear these 6 points, allowing a fresh start. Regulations: The number of points that can still be deducted after participating in the 'Study to Reduce Points' depends on how many points the driver had before participating. However, the total accumulated points cannot exceed 11. Regardless of participation in the program, a driver's license only has 12 points. The program only reduces existing penalty points and does not increase the total points to 18. Specific considerations are as follows: Eligible Participants: Drivers holding a motor vehicle driver's license issued by the People's Republic of China, regardless of the vehicle type or whether they are commercial vehicle drivers, can participate in the 'Study to Reduce Points' program. They must study and take exams related to road traffic safety laws and regulations according to their highest permitted vehicle type. Specific Rules: Drivers participating in online road traffic law and regulation studies must complete at least 5 minutes of continuous study per session, accumulating 30 minutes of study time within 3 days. They can then register for an exam within 7 days. Passing the exam will reduce their penalty points by 1. Drivers can also attend in-person study sessions, with each session lasting at least 1 hour. After completing the required study hours, they can apply for an exam. Passing the exam will reduce their penalty points by 2. Drivers can also participate in offline public safety activities, with each hour-long session reducing penalty points by 1. Accumulating 30 minutes of study within 3 days (each session lasting at least 5 minutes) and passing the exam can reduce points by 1. The maximum point reduction in one scoring cycle is 6 points. Cases Not Accepted: The following situations will not be accepted: If the driver had two or more full-point records in the previous scoring cycle. If the driver was involved in hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving, or falsified or altered documents or license plates within the last 3 scoring cycles. If the driver's license is in the probation period or has not been reviewed on time. If the driver has unresolved traffic violation records. If the driver has a vehicle with an expired or unregistered safety inspection under their name. If the driver has already reduced the maximum 6 points in the current scoring cycle.

What does the set button in the car mean?

Car's set button is a speed adjustment switch, which is the cruise speed control indicator. When setting the cruise speed, accelerate the car to the predetermined speed and press the set button (the vehicle speed usually needs to exceed 30 mph). During cruise control operation, pressing the brake will deactivate the system. The cruise control system, also known as speed control device or autonomous driving system, automatically maintains the vehicle speed as set by the driver without requiring accelerator pedal input. This feature reduces driver fatigue, minimizes unnecessary speed variations, and improves fuel efficiency.
