Below is an introduction to the demerit point items for a driver's license: Violations: Operating a commercial passenger vehicle with over 20% overloading (including school buses for the first time). Commercial vehicles include: taxis, long-distance passenger vehicles (excluding buses), and school buses (newly added). Severe speeding: Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles on highways or urban expressways exceeding the speed limit by 20% or more; driving on roads other than highways or urban expressways exceeding the speed limit by 50% or more; driving other motor vehicles exceeding the speed limit by 50% or more. Intentional concealment of license plates: Starting from January 1, 2017, motor vehicles driven on the road without license plates, or with intentionally concealed, damaged, or improperly installed license plates will be deducted 12 points in one go. The new regulations also update the rules for license plate frames, and using non-compliant license plate frames will result in a 6-point penalty.

Having driven for several years, let's talk about the points deduction on the driver's license. Speeding is the most common offense, with 1 point deducted for exceeding the speed limit by 10% to 20%, 3 points for exceeding by 20% to 50%, and 6 points for exceeding by 50%. Driving too fast not only results in fines but also points deduction, and it's prone to accidents. Drunk driving is absolutely unacceptable—getting caught immediately deducts 12 points and revokes the license, posing a huge safety risk. Running a red light usually deducts 6 points and is particularly dangerous; it's advised to check the traffic light carefully before proceeding. Fatigue driving, which means driving continuously for more than 4 hours without a 20-minute break, also deducts 6 points, so be sure to rest during long trips. Occupying the emergency lane deducts 6 points, and with many cameras now, don't take the lane for convenience. Additionally, using a mobile phone while driving or not wearing a seatbelt will also deduct points. If the points accumulate to 12, you must attend a safety course and take an exam, and your insurance premiums may increase. It's recommended to regularly check your points using a traffic app—safety always comes first.

As an experienced driver, I've seen too many people troubled by penalty points. The main violations include speeding: a slight overspeed costs 1 point, while severe speeding deducts 3 to 6 points. Drunk driving is an automatic 12-point penalty without exception - you'll regret it if something happens. Running a red light typically costs 6 points, and you can't escape once caught on camera. Fatigue driving also deducts 6 points - a reminder not to push yourself too hard. Don't park randomly in emergency lanes as police patrols can cost you 6 points. Accumulating 12 points means you'll have to spend time on training and exams, which is troublesome. Drive steadily in daily life by observing speed limits, avoiding drunk driving, and taking adequate rest - these small habits can prevent big troubles. Safety comes first, and penalty points aren't just about fines but affect your lifelong record. Developing good habits saves both worry and effort.

There are quite a few penalty point items for driving licenses, let me quickly list some. Drunk driving deducts 12 points, the most severe. Speeding is categorized: minor speeding deducts 1 point, moderate speeding deducts 3 points, and severe speeding deducts 6 points. Running a red light deducts 6 points, which is high risk. Fatigue driving for too long continuously deducts 6 points, remember to rest. Occupying the emergency lane deducts 6 points, affecting rescue efforts. Others like using the phone or driving without a license also deduct points. If points reach 12, you must attend a legal exam. The core is for road safety and to avoid accidents. Maintaining slow driving and avoiding drunk driving will reduce point deductions. Use the official APP to check points to prevent surprises.

How to Deal with Rust on Car Doors?

If the rust appears on the surface, use water sandpaper to grind off the rust and then spray a layer of anti-rust paint. If the rust has damaged the primer, you need to remove the rust by grinding, spray the primer, and then apply the topcoat. Below is more information about rust: 1. Causes of rust: Due to prolonged exposure to wind, sun, and rain corrosion. 2. Methods to prevent car rust: (1) Avoid using car covers frequently: When encountering windy or rainy weather, if the car is parked outdoors, the inner layer of the car cover will repeatedly whip the car paint, leaving countless tiny scratches on the body. If sand and dust get blown inside the cover, the number of scratches will increase. (2) Apply toothpaste to prevent rust. (3) Perform glaze sealing on soft car paint surfaces.

Why Are License Plates Easily Washed Away by Water?

When a vehicle passes through water, the front bumper lifts the water, creating an external force that impacts the license plate, bending it. When this force exceeds the maximum load capacity of the nut base, the nut is forcibly pulled out of the plastic, ultimately causing the front license plate to fall off. Below is some relevant information about license plates: 1. Introduction: License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates mounted on the front and rear of a vehicle. They are typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, and display the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other related information. 2. Function: License plates serve as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles. Their primary purpose is to identify the vehicle's region of registration and allow access to the vehicle owner and registration details through the license plate number.

Use automotive gasoline, as inappropriate fuel entering the fuel system may damage the fuel system and engine; 2. Do not use gasoline containing methanol or alcohol; 3. Avoid spilling fuel on the paint surface to prevent damage; 4. If the fuel tank door is frozen and cannot be opened, gently push or tap the fuel tank door to remove the ice and open it; 5. To prevent excessive fuel pressure leading to spraying; 6. Insert the fuel nozzle deep into the fuel tank to avoid fuel overflow or splashing, which could cause fire and explosion; 7. Touch the vehicle body to discharge static electricity before opening the fuel filler cap or contacting the fuel nozzle, and avoid re-entering the vehicle during refueling to prevent static electricity buildup.
