The driver's license reset time is at 0:00 on the same day. Below is relevant information about traffic violation point deductions: 1. Legal provisions: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," if a motor vehicle driver accumulates less than 12 points in a scoring cycle and has paid all fines, the points will be cleared; otherwise, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. 2. Accumulating 12 points: For Class C driver's licenses, the traffic management department will temporarily suspend the license, and the driver must attend traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge training and pass an exam within 15 days at a designated location. 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 driver's licenses, the driver will face a downgrade penalty, with the vehicle management office revoking the highest permitted vehicle class. The driver must complete the downgrade license renewal process within 30 days.

Regarding the reset time of the driving license points, I've always felt there are many misunderstandings. Many people mistakenly believe that it automatically resets at 0:00 or 24:00 every day, but that's completely not the case. Having driven for several years, I've learned from personal experience that the reset time of the driving license points is based on the specific date when you first obtained the license. If you got your license on a certain year, month, and day, the system will automatically reset your points at the same moment one year later. In practice, the traffic management system usually sets the reset at 0:00 (which is also 24:00) on the anniversary of the license issuance date, not changing every day. So, it's not as simple as the 0:00 or 24:00 of the day; you don't need to watch the clock every day, just remember your license issuance date. When driving, I always remind myself and friends not to rely too much on this reset time, but to develop safe driving habits to avoid violations; if there are still points not cleared by the reset date, it might be due to system delays or unresolved violations, and it's best to check official records or apps for confirmation. This is related to our driving safety and life convenience, so don't underestimate it.

When I first got my driver's license, I was also confused about the reset time. I thought it would automatically reset at midnight, but I later realized through personal experience that it's not calculated based on 0:00 or 24:00 of the day. My reset time changes at the early morning of the day I received the license; for example, if I got my license on May 10th, the points would reset at 0:00 on May 10th of the following year. The traffic management system handles this quite punctually, but in practice, if there are unresolved violations on that day, it might take a little longer. As a beginner, I was very nervous about the points, but now I've learned: check the violation records a few days in advance, and using the Traffic Management 12123 App is the most reliable. Don't wait until the reset day to think about the point deduction issue. Pay attention to not running red lights or speeding while driving to reduce risks. Safety first, I advise my friends to develop good habits as well. This knowledge is simple but crucial to avoid trouble when going out.

What are the reasons why the car wiper cannot be turned off?

Car wipers cannot be turned off due to issues in the circuit, which may be caused by a faulty combination switch or damaged wiring where the negative terminal of the wiper is connected to the car body. The wiper is a blade structure installed in front of the windshield, consisting of components such as a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. The main function of the wiper is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstruct the view. The power source of the wiper comes from the motor, which is the core of the entire wiper system. The quality requirements for the wiper motor are very high, typically using a DC permanent magnet motor. The wiper motor installed on the front windshield is usually integrated with the worm gear mechanical part.

What to Do When the Engine Warning Light on the Dashboard Comes On?

If the engine warning light comes on, you can follow these steps: First, check whether the engine is running normally. Look for issues such as shaking, black smoke, or difficulty starting. If any of these problems exist, avoid restarting the engine. Note: If the light is red, do not restart the engine under any circumstances. If the engine is running normally and the car can be driven, proceed to a service station as soon as possible to diagnose the issue. A service station can easily read the fault code using a portable diagnostic tool, allowing for targeted repairs. If the engine is running normally, the owner can also try gently reconnecting various wiring harness connectors, as a loose connection might be the cause. Alternatively, repeatedly turning the key to the ON position may reset the warning light. Generally, the engine warning light may come on due to the following seven reasons: Sensor failure: This includes sensors such as the coolant temperature sensor, crankshaft position sensor, air flow sensor, intake air temperature sensor, and oxygen sensor. If these sensors are damaged, poorly connected, or their signals are interrupted, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, triggering the warning light. Fuel or oil quality issues: If the recommended fuel or engine oil is not used, it may cause engine wear and trigger the warning light. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: Poor combustion can lead to engine carbon buildup or knocking. When detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the warning light will illuminate. Possible causes include faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pumps, or clogged fuel lines. Turbocharger issues: Problems with the intake boost system or turbocharger can also trigger the warning light. The most common issue is turbocharger damage, often accompanied by symptoms such as oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Intake system issues: A clogged intake system can lead to engine problems, including the warning light. A dirty or uncleaned air filter can cause intake issues. Exhaust system issues: Exhaust system failures, such as faulty rear oxygen sensors, catalytic converters, or exhaust camshafts, can trigger the warning light. The most common issue is catalytic converter failure, often caused by using leaded gasoline, improper lubricant additives, physical damage, or fuel system issues. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the car's electronic anti-theft system fails or the anti-theft controller does not match the engine ECU, the engine may not function properly, and the warning light will illuminate.

Where to Check the Vehicle's Manufacturing Date?

To check the vehicle's manufacturing date, look for a nameplate located below the B-pillar on the passenger side. This nameplate contains the vehicle's information. The vehicle nameplate, also known as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code that represents various details about the vehicle. Due to its uniqueness (typically ensuring no duplication for 30 years) and its ability to provide vehicle information, it is often referred to as the vehicle's ID card. The VIN includes details such as the manufacturer, year, model, body type and code, engine code, and assembly location.
