Ice formation on the inside of the car's front windshield occurs due to a significant temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the vehicle. The moisture inside the car condenses and freezes on the glass. To mitigate or prevent this, you can leave the car doors open for a few minutes before closing them, allowing the interior temperature to equalize with the outside temperature before locking the car. Quick methods to remove ice include: 1. Pouring a basin of cold water directly onto the windshield, which will make it clear and transparent, then driving for a few minutes with the heater blowing on the windshield to let the ice melt naturally; 2. Using lukewarm water (not boiling water) to pour over the ice for quick removal; 3. Physical removal method, where most drivers use a card to scrape the ice off, though this can easily scratch the windshield.

How Long Does It Take to Restore the Full Score After Deducting 6 Points?

If 6 points are deducted from your driver's license due to a traffic violation, the score will be restored to 12 points at the start of the next scoring cycle. However, if there are unpaid fines, the points will be carried over to the next scoring cycle, and the score will not be restored to 12 points. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": Article 66: For motor vehicle drivers' road traffic safety violations, penalties and point deductions shall be executed simultaneously. If a motor vehicle driver commits two or more violations at one time, the points shall be calculated separately and accumulated; Article 69: If a motor vehicle driver's points in a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points and all fines have been paid, the points shall be cleared. If the points do not reach 12 points but there are unpaid fines, the points shall be carried over to the next scoring cycle. Driver's license point clearance: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license was first issued, and so on in a continuous cycle. The clearance date for the driver's license is the issuance date on the license, and the system automatically clears the points on that date each year. Starting from the "initial issuance date" of the driver's license, one year constitutes a scoring cycle, and so on in a continuous cycle; if the points deducted for violations in a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points, the scoring system will automatically clear the points from the previous scoring cycle (after fines are paid) at the start of the next scoring cycle; if the points reach 12, the driver must attend a study session and pass the subject one test at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or where the violation occurred before the points can be cleared. Otherwise, the driver's license cannot be used normally.

What is the Principle of Drifting?

Drifting occurs when the rear wheels lose most (or all) of their grip, while the front wheels maintain their grip (losing at most a small portion, and ideally gaining additional grip). At this point, as long as there is a certain amount of lateral force on the front wheels, drifting will occur. Here is some relevant information: 1. Drifting: Drifting is a racing term that refers to a series of maneuvers where the direction the car is pointing differs significantly from its actual movement direction, causing the car to slide sideways through a turn. 2. Conditions for Drifting: Drifting occurs when static friction is converted into sliding friction. Precise control of factors such as the center of gravity, the relative angle and distance between sliding and static friction, and their magnitudes can make the drifting process controllable.

What is the reason why the position lights do not work but the headlights do?

It may be a problem with the fuse or switch, and it needs to be repaired at a repair shop. The following are relevant precautions for car light maintenance: 1. First check if the lights are working properly during maintenance: When inspecting the lights, check whether various types of lights (such as turn signals, taillights, fog lights, etc.) are functioning normally. Additionally, it is necessary to check whether the direction of the headlight beam is misaligned and whether the brightness is sufficient. Regular inspection of the working condition of the lights can help you stay informed about their status and avoid accidents. 2. Regularly replace bulbs during light maintenance: Car light bulbs are consumables with a limited lifespan. Over time, bulbs will dim, reducing the illumination distance, which directly affects nighttime driving and poses a significant safety hazard. Therefore, once you notice that the bulbs have dimmed or the brightness of the two bulbs is inconsistent, replace them promptly to ensure driving safety. Moreover, avoid touching the bulbs directly with your hands when replacing them to prevent contamination and prolong their lifespan. 3. Frequently clean the lights during maintenance: Driving on roads after rain inevitably leads to splashes, and the car light covers may get covered in mud. Generally, light covers are made of special materials and have good sealing. However, mud spots on the light covers not only affect the car's appearance but also impair the lighting effect.

What Does the Inspection Period Mean?

Here is the relevant introduction about the inspection period: 1. Inspection period: refers to the valid usage period of a driver's license. 2. If it is the first time applying for a driver's license: then the validity period of the driver's license is 6 years. 3. First renewal of the driver's license: If within the 6-year validity period, no scoring cycle has accumulated 12 points, a 10-year validity driver's license will be issued upon renewal. If one or more years accumulate 12 points, a 6-year validity driver's license will still be issued upon renewal. 4. After obtaining a 10-year validity driver's license: during the next renewal, if within the 10-year validity period, no scoring cycle has accumulated 12 points, a long-term valid driver's license will be issued upon renewal.

What are the differences between Shell's different colors?

Shell's different colors have the following distinctions: 1. Different viscosity grades: Shell HX7 has three viscosity grades, which are 5W-30, 5W-40, and 10W-40. 2. Different grade rankings: Different color packaging represents different models, and their intended uses and levels vary. The grades from low to high are White Shell, Red Shell, Yellow Shell, Blue Shell, and Gray Shell. 3. Different classifications: White Shell HX2 and Red Shell HX3 are both mineral oils, Yellow Shell is divided into HX6 and HX5, and Blue Shell HX7 is a semi-synthetic oil. 4. Different oil qualities: In terms of oil quality, Shell's gray oil is the best, and the grade of Gray Shell oil is higher than that of Blue Shell oil.

Which point to focus on when driving straight in Subject 2?

Simply observe the reference points. Below are relevant introductions about Subject 2: 1. Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skill test. 2. Small vehicle C1/C2 Subject 2 test items: Include five mandatory tests—reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves) (some regions have a sixth item: highway toll card collection). 3. Large vehicle Subject 2 test items: Include pole tests, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, passing a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing a width-restricted gate, passing continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, narrow road U-turns, as well as simulations of highways, continuous sharp mountain curves, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.
