The 'Learn and Reduce Points' program is for deducting points. According to Article 5 of the Notice issued by the Ministry of Public Security on January 14, 2020, titled 'Regulations on Reducing Points for Road Traffic Safety Violations Through Accepting Traffic Safety Education (Trial)' (Public Traffic Management [2020] No. 14): Motor vehicle drivers who apply to participate in the program to reduce points for traffic violations must participate in corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning, exams, or traffic safety public welfare activities according to their highest permitted driving license type and meet the relevant requirements to apply for a reduction in traffic violation points. The 'Learn and Reduce Points' program is a measure for drivers holding a driving license who have been penalized with points due to traffic violations. After participating in online traffic safety learning and passing the exam, their points can be reduced. This program is a convenient measure for traffic management uniformly deployed by the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. Function: The 'Learn and Reduce Points' program is for reducing existing points on a driving license, not for adding points or replacing penalty points. The points obtained for free through this program are used to clear penalty records. For example, if a violation results in a 6-point deduction, passing the 'Learn and Reduce Points' exam can clear these 6 points, allowing the driver to start anew. Regulations: The number of points that can be deducted after participating in the 'Learn and Reduce Points' program depends on how many points the driver had before participating, but the cumulative points cannot exceed 11. Whether participating in the program or not, a driving license only has 12 points. The program can only reduce existing points on the license, not increase the total points to 18. Specific considerations are as follows: Applicable individuals: Motor vehicle drivers with a driving license from the People's Republic of China, regardless of the permitted driving license type or whether they are commercial vehicle drivers, can participate in the 'Learn and Reduce Points' program. They must participate in corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning and exams according to their highest permitted driving license type. Specific rules: Motor vehicle drivers participating in online road traffic laws, regulations, and related content learning must study continuously for 5 minutes each time, accumulating 30 minutes of study time within 3 days. They can then register for an exam within 7 days. Passing the exam allows them to reduce 1 point. Drivers can also participate in on-site learning, with each session lasting no less than 1 hour. After completing the required study time, they can apply for an exam. Passing the exam allows them to reduce 2 points. Drivers can also participate in offline traffic safety public welfare activities, with each session lasting 1 hour, allowing them to reduce 1 point per session. Accumulating 30 minutes of study time within 3 days, with each study session lasting no less than 5 minutes, and passing the exam, allows a reduction of 1 point. The maximum points that can be reduced in one scoring cycle is 6. Cases not accepted: The following situations will not be accepted: In the previous scoring cycle, the driver had two or more instances of full-point penalties. Within a 3-point cycle, the driver was involved in hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving, or the manufacture or alteration of documents or license plates. The motor vehicle driving license is in the probation period or has not been reviewed as required. The driver has unresolved traffic violation records under their name. The driver has motor vehicles under their name with expired safety technical inspections or those not deregistered as required. The driver has already reduced the maximum of 6 points in the current cycle.

Reasons Why a Car Takes Several Attempts to Start

There are 6 main reasons why a car may take several attempts to start: 1. Environmental temperature: Extremely low temperatures can prevent the vehicle from starting immediately; 2. Battery issues: A dead or damaged battery can also prevent the car from starting; 3. Starter motor failure: A malfunction in the starter motor; 4. Fuel injector problems: If the fuel injector is faulty, fuel may not be delivered promptly, preventing the car from starting immediately; 5. Engine oil viscosity: If the oil viscosity is too high, it increases resistance and slows acceleration; 6. Incorrect valve clearance: Excessive valve clearance reduces valve lift, decreasing the valve opening and leading to insufficient air intake.

What are the methods for removing car stickers?

To remove car stickers, first understand car window films. They adhere to car windows without falling off mainly through static electricity adsorption and some other adhesive materials. Films attached by static electricity are easier to remove. Here are several methods to remove car stickers: 1. Use essential balm to evenly wet the entire sticker, based on the principle that the components of essential balm neutralize the adhesive. 2. If the front windshield is not filmed, first soak the sticker with warm water until it is thoroughly wet. Some less sticky stickers can be easily peeled off. After removal, wash the original adhesive area with soapy water several times, and finally wipe it dry with a dry towel to effectively protect the glass. 3. Use a hair dryer to blow hot air on the front of the sticker for about 10 seconds. Once the adhesive softens, gently peel it off by hand. If there are marks left after removal, you can wipe them with hot water or purchase a specialized cleaning agent.

Can a C1 Driver's License Operate a Motorcycle?

C1 driver's license cannot operate a motorcycle for the following three reasons: 1. Illegal: According to Article 99 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China', if a driver operates a motor vehicle model that exceeds the scope of the driver's license's approved vehicle types, it will be treated as driving without a license; 2. Incompatible with the approved vehicle types, a C1 driver's license only allows driving small and micro passenger vehicles, etc.; 3. To operate a motorcycle, you need to hold an E or D license: There is a difference between E and D licenses. A D license is for ordinary tricycles and includes E, while an E license is for ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles and includes F.

What is the difference between emission standards 6a and 6b?

The difference between emission standards 6a and 6b is evident when comparing the emission data of China 6a and China 6b. Below is an introduction to emission standards 6a and 6b: 1. Compared to China 6a, China 6b imposes stricter requirements on the emissions of carbon monoxide, non-methane hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and PM fine particulate matter. The data shows a significant increase in strictness, with China 6a essentially serving as a transitional phase to China 6b. 2. Most regions in China officially implemented the China 6 standard on July 1, 2019. The deadline for registering China 5 vehicles in various regions is the same as the implementation date of the local China 6 standard. 3. The original national timetable for the implementation of the first phase of the China 6 emission standard (China 6a) was set for July 1, 2020. However, most regions in China advanced the implementation to July 1, 2019. For regions that did not implement the China 6 emission standard on July 1, there is a possibility of early implementation in the future.

What is the method for removing the oil flow check valve on the Cruze?

Removal of the Cruze oil check valve: The correct method for removing the Cruze oil check valve: First, remove the bearing and clean it thoroughly. Use a screw about 12cm long with a nut, weld the male thread to the screw with a welding machine, then insert the male thread and pull it out with a tool. Due to the specialized tools required and the high level of expertise needed for the operation, it is recommended to have the Cruze oil check valve removed at a professional repair shop or 4S store. Below is some knowledge about the removal process: Mainly due to the structure of the oil check valve, it cannot be removed by brute force, and self-removal is not recommended. Many car owners have reported damaging the Cruze oil check valve during removal. If the plastic inside the oil check valve is shattered but the metal part is not removed, it can lead to reduced power output, normal RPM but low speed. This is particularly noticeable on uphill roads and in traffic jams, where the engine noise becomes very loud, similar to the noise of a tractor, causing discomfort to the driver.

Can You Start the Car While the Battery is Charging?

You can start the car while the battery is charging, but there are several recommendations: 1. It is possible to start the car, but during the initial charging phase (before the battery is fully charged), it may be difficult to start the car. This is because the charger's voltage does not exceed 15V while charging the battery. When starting the engine, the high current required mainly comes from the battery itself. If the battery is not sufficiently charged, it will not provide enough starting current, making it difficult to start the car. 2. The charger has a current-limiting function. When the battery voltage is very low (during startup), the charger's current is limited to a certain range to prevent the charger from overloading and burning out. 3. Once the car is started, the battery voltage rises to around 14V. At this point, the charger will assume the battery is fully charged and will reduce the charging current until it stops charging. Therefore, you can start the car while the battery is charging without damaging the charger. 4. Cars also have a feature where the charger has a 'startup mode' that can directly supply power along with the battery to start the car. Following the normal startup method is beneficial for both the car and the battery.
