There is no remedial measure; the only option is to apply for an additional driving license. After meeting the specified time requirements, you can apply for the additional driving test. Upon passing the exam, you can obtain a higher-level driver's license. Drivers holding licenses for large buses, trailers, urban buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks will have their highest permissible driving categories revoked by the vehicle management office under the following circumstances, and the driver will be notified to complete the downgrade and license replacement within 30 days: Being involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bearing equal or greater responsibility, without constituting a crime. Accumulating 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle. Failing to undergo the required review for three consecutive scoring cycles. If the driver fails to complete the downgrade and license replacement within the specified time, the vehicle management office will announce the revocation of the driving qualification for the highest permissible category. After completing the downgrade and license replacement, if the driver applies to reinstate the revoked driving category, they must have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before application, and must not have been involved in any traffic accident resulting in death with equal or greater responsibility. Procedure for downgrading the highest permissible driving category and completing the license replacement: After passing the relevant exam, obtain the "Motor Vehicle Driver's Illegal Full-Point Exam Information Feedback Notice" (for Class A and B licenses, downgrade information will be noted on the notice). After the suspension period ends, present your ID card and the "Motor Vehicle Driver's Illegal Full-Point Exam Information Feedback Notice" to the traffic police department where the license was confiscated to retrieve your driver's license. Submit the following documents to the vehicle management office at the issuing location to complete the downgrade and license replacement (if there are no pending traffic violations, the process will be completed within one working day): Original "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form." Original and copy of the driver's ID. Original motor vehicle driver's license. Three recent half-length, front-facing, white-background, color ID photos (if local regulations require a digital photo submission receipt, include it as well).

I once had my driver's license downgraded from Class B to Class C because I accumulated full penalty points for running red lights consecutively, which was really frustrating. The remedy was to register for a 7-day safe driving training course at the local traffic management department, where I studied traffic rules and accident prevention. After completing the course, I had to pass a theoretical exam. Then, I had to wait a year without any new violations before applying to restore my original license class. During this process, I deeply realized the importance of caution, and now I always pay attention to speed limits and traffic signals when driving. Additionally, I found that checking my point status in time could avoid unexpected downgrades, as the license class affects work and travel efficiency. I recommend friends to check their records regularly. Through the remedy, I not only restored my license but also developed safer habits, feeling that the risk of accidents on the road has decreased.

I believe the key to avoiding license downgrades lies in daily adherence to rules, such as constantly reminding myself not to speed or drive while fatigued. However, if accidentally downgraded, the remedy is quite clear: first, register for training at the traffic department, attend a 5-day course to strengthen knowledge of regulations, then pass the exam, followed by a 6-month to 1-year violation-free period before applying for an upgrade. This process might take some time, but considering the inconveniences of downgrading, such as passenger restrictions or impacts on road trips, prompt remediation is essential. I also recommend using a mobile app to check real-time point status to prevent issues in advance. In short, safe driving not only protects oneself but also ensures normal license usage.

What are some methods for beginners to distinguish between the accelerator and brake when driving?

Here is a detailed introduction to methods for beginners to distinguish between the accelerator and brake: 1. Automatic transmission models: The leftmost pedal is the brake, and the rightmost is the accelerator. Automatic transmission models do not require manual gear shifting, as the car shifts gears automatically, so there is no clutch pedal—only the accelerator and brake, both controlled by the right foot. During driving, the left foot should not rest on the brake pedal. 2. Manual transmission models: The middle pedal is the brake, and the rightmost is the accelerator. Manual transmission models have three pedals, arranged from left to right as follows: clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. For manual transmission models, the left foot should only be used to press the clutch pedal when shifting gears; during normal driving, the left foot should not rest on any pedal. Both the brake and accelerator are controlled by the right foot.

What Causes Car Shaking After Cleaning the Throttle Body?

Car shaking after cleaning the throttle body is due to the failure to perform idle speed reset learning after the cleaning process, which can lead to symptoms such as shaking, unstable idle speed, difficulty starting, and easy stalling. Below are specific details about the car throttle body: 1. Dirty throttle body causing idle speed shaking: When the air conditioning is turned on, the compressor also operates. Since the compressor is driven by the engine, its operation increases the engine load, which in turn increases the throttle opening and air intake. If the throttle body is not maintained for a long time, carbon deposits can easily form, obstructing the engine's air intake. This makes it difficult for the engine to drive the compressor, resulting in idle speed shaking. 2. Regular cleaning of the throttle body: If driving conditions are harsh, it is advisable to clean the throttle body regularly, recommended every 10,000 kilometers.
