To deduct points, you need to bring your original resident ID card and the original vehicle registration certificate. According to the new regulations on driver's license point deduction effective from March 1, 2018, you must submit your personal identity proof and the original driver's license, along with the original resident ID card and vehicle registration certificate of the vehicle owner to whom the license is bound. The calculation method for the driver's license point accumulation cycle is as follows: 1. The cycle starts from the day the driver's license is first issued, with each cycle lasting 12 months. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," Article 65, the accumulation cycle for traffic safety violations (i.e., the point cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the driver's license is first issued; 2. Based on the severity of the traffic safety violation, the points deducted at one time can be: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, or 1 point; 3. Article 66 states that for a motor vehicle driver's traffic safety violations, penalties and point deductions are executed simultaneously. If a motor vehicle driver commits more than one violation at a time, the points should be calculated separately and accumulated.

I just went to deal with the demerit points the other day. Remember to bring your original driver's license and ID card, as these are the basic essentials. You also need to bring the traffic violation notice or ticket, otherwise the staff won't acknowledge it. It's best to print copies of your driver's license and ID card in advance to save time on-site. Don't forget to confirm the location—some places are at the traffic police station, so make sure you go to the right one. The whole process is quite fast, but if there's a crowd, you might have to queue, so it's better to go in the morning. The key is to go in person—you can't have someone else handle it for you. A friend of mine once forgot their ID card and wasted half a day for nothing—it was a hard lesson. In short, bring all these things, and you'll get it done in one go without hassle. After handling it, think about why you violated the rules and be more careful when driving next time.

As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I've dealt with my fair share of point deductions. The must-bring items include the original driver's license and ID card, along with the traffic violation ticket or notice. Many people often forget to bring a photocopy of their ID, which can be troublesome as they'd have to go back to get it. The driver must appear in person – no substitutes allowed, the rules are strict. I always recommend checking the local traffic management office's address and business hours in advance to avoid unnecessary trips. Every time I go, I remind myself that traffic violations carry significant risks, and point deduction is about safety – no room for carelessness. Having all the documents ready ensures efficient service and peace of mind. Years of driving teach you that rules matter, and preventing future violations is the most practical approach.

Clearing points is quite simple. Just bring your driver's license, ID card, and the traffic violation ticket. Go directly to the traffic police station, queue up, and get it done. Don't forget the original documents - sometimes copies aren't necessary. You must go in person; don't delegate it to others. Just prepare the materials and ask the staff when you arrive. No need to stress, it's a one-time hassle-free process. Drive more carefully in the future to avoid getting points deducted again. Basically, there's nothing complicated - just follow the procedure correctly.

Last time my child got points deducted while driving, I went with them to handle it. We had to bring their driver's license and original ID card, plus the ticket proof. I helped my child organize the materials to prevent them from forgetting anything. Preparing a copy as backup was also a good idea. Remember to go in person to handle it; parents can't do it on behalf of their child. Check the address before heading out to avoid a wasted trip. The staff was very diligent when deducting points and reminded us that safety comes first. My child learned a lesson this time and will drive more carefully in the future. Parents helping to prepare the documents made the whole process smooth and hassle-free.

How to Handle a Car Accident When the Vehicle Was Not Parked in a Designated Spot?

If a car that was not parked in a designated spot is involved in an accident, the situation should be reported to the police. The traffic police will determine liability based on the on-site conditions, and compensation will be provided according to the liability determination certificate issued by the police. The specific amount involved will depend on the actual circumstances. The traffic management department of the public security authority will determine the liability of the parties involved based on their actions and the severity of their faults in causing the road traffic accident. The details are as follows: 1. If the accident is caused solely by the fault of one party, that party bears full responsibility. 2. If the accident is caused by the faults of two or more parties, each party will bear primary, equal, or secondary responsibility based on their actions and the severity of their faults. 3. If no party is at fault for the accident, it is considered a traffic accident, and no party bears responsibility. If one party intentionally causes the accident, the other party is not responsible.

What are the installation requirements for a new energy home charging station?

There are several conditions for installing a new energy home charging station: 1. Whether installation conditions are met: For example, whether there is a fixed parking space, whether it can be connected to the national grid's power lines, etc. 2. Understand the power supply attributes of the residential area: If the charging station is powered by ordinary residential electricity, users need to apply to the national grid for power supply box wiring first. After approval, the national grid will arrange for staff to install the wiring. If using commercial electricity within the residential area, the process is simpler, and you can directly negotiate with the property management for power supply. 3. Understand the types of charging stations: Generally, the type of charging station to be installed needs to be determined based on the installation conditions of your home charging station. Currently, home charging stations are roughly divided into wall-mounted and post-mounted types. The advantage of wall-mounted charging stations is that they save space and are cheaper, but they can only be installed on walls where wiring is possible. Although post-mounted charging stations occupy relatively more space and are more expensive, they have fewer limitations on installation locations.
