Running a red light twice, accumulating 12 penalty points, constitutes reaching the full penalty score. The traffic management department of the public security organ will confiscate the driver's license, and the driver will no longer be allowed to drive. The driver must participate in road traffic safety laws and regulations training and take an examination. If the examination is passed, the penalty points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. If the examination is not passed, the driver must continue to participate in training and examinations. Methods to avoid running red lights while driving: When there are arrow signal lights, observe the arrow lights; otherwise, observe the circular lights. When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the green light just flashes, if the distance is close and the speed is fast, you should proceed, as it may be impossible to stop in time and you might cross the stop line. If the distance is far, the speed is slow, or the intersection is congested, you should stop. When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line at an intersection.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I must say that running red lights twice resulting in 12 penalty points is no trivial matter. Your driver's license will be immediately revoked, meaning you can't drive for at least half a year and must re-enroll in driving school for training and exams—costing both money and time. A friend of mine faced this situation before; what used to be a convenient daily commute by car turned into relying on buses, not to mention a significant hike in insurance premiums. More importantly, such behavior poses serious safety risks to others. Red lights exist to protect pedestrians and other vehicles, and habitual violations like running red lights twice increase the likelihood of accidents. For your own safety and others', always stay focused on traffic signals while driving—developing good habits is what truly matters.

As a young driver who just learned to drive a few years ago, the thought of getting 12 points deducted for running a red light twice gives me a headache. I'm used to driving to and from work every day, and if my license gets suspended, it would be a nightmare—no more driving myself out for fun, and commuting would mean relying on subways and buses, which is super annoying. Even worse, I'd have to go back to driving school, take the tests again, and spend months and money to get my license back. I value my freedom, and it's just not worth ruining my life over such small mistakes. Honestly, with traffic cameras everywhere these days, running a red light is an easy way to get caught. To save time and hassle, it's best to slow down and stop safely when the light turns yellow, rather than rushing through and risking bigger consequences.

As a parent with children at home, I am very concerned about running red lights. If you get 12 points deducted for running a red light, your driver's license will be revoked, making it impossible to drive your kids to and from school, which greatly impacts family life. Safety is even more critical—running a red light twice indicates problematic driving habits. What if an accident happens and the child gets hurt? Children learn traffic rules from a young age, and witnessing such violations could mislead them. After the license is revoked, you’ll have to relearn and retake the driving test, which is time-consuming and stressful, not to mention the anxiety it causes the kids. For the safety of your family, I advise everyone to slow down and pay attention to traffic signal changes while driving.

Running a red light is a serious traffic violation that results in 12 penalty points, with the most immediate consequence being the revocation of the driver's license, requiring a retest. This not only wastes money but also takes time, as the process of relearning to drive can be slow, potentially leaving you unable to drive for months. Additionally, insurance claims costs will rise, affecting your driving record. More importantly, traffic laws are designed this way to protect everyone's safety, as running red lights can easily lead to collision accidents. I believe every driver should focus on traffic signals, ensure pedestrians and other vehicles have the right of way, and respect the rules to reduce risks and avoid regrets.

What does the yellow exclamation mark on the tachometer mean?

The yellow exclamation mark on the tachometer is the tire pressure monitoring fault light, indicating that the tire pressure of one or more tires is insufficient. The tire pressure monitoring system automatically monitors the tire pressure in real-time during driving and alerts the driver in case of tire leakage or low pressure to ensure driving safety. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light comes on while driving, remain calm, do not panic, immediately reduce your speed, avoid sharp steering and sudden braking, and check the tires immediately. If you have a portable inflator or tire pressure gauge, you can pull over to the side of the road to measure and inflate each tire; if not, drive slowly to the nearest auto repair shop for servicing.

Why does the subject 4 reservation on Traffic Management 12123 show subject 3?

It shows subject 3 because subject 3 is generally divided into the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized common sense test. In fact, subject 4 is the safe and civilized common sense test of subject 3. The following is an introduction to subject 3: 1. Introduction: Subject 3, including the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized driving common sense test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation of the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving common sense test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's test. The content of the road driving skills test varies for different types of driving licenses. 2. Test content: The road driving skills test of subject 3 generally includes: preparation before getting on the car, light simulation test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking on the side, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school areas, passing bus stops, meeting cars, overtaking, turning around, and driving at night.

What is the best solution for rear wheel lock-up?

The best solution for rear wheel lock-up: Pour 100-degree boiling water onto the brake pads, then repeatedly move forward and backward about three times. Rear wheel lock-up mostly occurs after heavy rain or car washing, mainly caused by the expansion of water entering the rear wheel brake drum. When the rear wheels lock up, park the car on level ground, avoiding slopes if possible. After turning off the engine, shift into first gear to prevent the car from moving, and do not engage the handbrake when parking. This prevents the friction pads from contacting the brake drum during parking, thereby avoiding adhesion between the friction pads and the brake drum that causes lock-up.

What are the symptoms of a bad car water pump?

When a car's water pump fails, the symptoms include: unstable engine idle, coolant leakage, and increased engine operation noise. During regular vehicle use, it's important to change the coolant periodically. Prolonged use of old coolant can damage the water pump. For household vehicles, the coolant should be replaced every two years. When coolant is low, never use tap water as a substitute. Tap water contains minerals that can form scale when heated, potentially clogging the engine's water passages. Car engines widely use centrifugal water pumps, whose basic structure consists of the pump housing, connecting plate or pulley, pump shaft and bearings or integrated shaft bearings, pump impeller, and water seal assembly. These components are essential parts of the automobile.

What is a Radial Tire?

Radial tires are a type of internal tire structure that differs significantly from bias-ply tires in terms of construction. Based on the materials used, radial tires can be categorized into three types: all-steel radial tires, semi-steel radial tires, and all-fiber radial tires. All-steel radial tires use steel cords for both the carcass and the belt layers and are typically used for heavy-duty and construction machinery vehicles. Semi-steel radial tires use rayon or other fibers for the carcass and steel cords for the belt layers; this type of radial tire is commonly used in passenger cars or light trucks. All-fiber radial tires use rayon or other fiber cords for both the carcass and belt layers, with the belt layer cords requiring low-elongation fibers. These radial tires are generally used in low-speed passenger cars or tractors. Radial tires offer advantages such as excellent wear and puncture resistance, superior cushioning performance, lower operating temperatures, better stability and safety, longer mileage, and higher economic efficiency.

What is the fuel consumption difference between 1.5t and 2.0t engines?

A typical 2.0t engine consumes about 2 to 3 liters more fuel per 100 kilometers compared to a 1.5t engine. Generally, the larger the displacement, the higher the corresponding fuel consumption. Fuel-saving tips: Ensure correct tire pressure: Pressure should not be too high or too low, as both conditions will increase fuel consumption. Regularly check tire pressure to avoid affecting driving fuel economy. Consider changing tire size: Wider tires increase resistance. Unless special traction requirements exist, overly wide tires will only increase fuel consumption. Maintain the car body: Dents on the body will increase aerodynamic resistance during driving. Similarly, decorations on the body will only add resistance. Master driving techniques: When starting the vehicle, choose a lower gear, accelerate smoothly and gradually. Learn to listen to the engine sound and shift gears from low to high as the car reaches certain speeds. During driving, use direct gear at medium speed to save fuel. The economical speed for most cars is between 65-90km/h. Driving at this speed range is the most fuel-efficient.
