When the car displays ABS, it refers to the Anti-lock Braking System. During emergency braking, the system relies on highly sensitive wheel speed sensors installed on each wheel to detect wheel lock-up. The computer then immediately controls the pressure regulator to release pressure from the wheel's brake caliper, allowing the wheel to resume rotation and preventing wheel lock-up. The functions of the ABS Anti-lock Braking System are: 1. To prevent loss of vehicle control, increase braking distance, and enhance vehicle safety; 2. To improve the overall braking performance of the vehicle; 3. To prevent wheel lock-up during braking; 4. To ensure the driver can steer during braking and prevent rear axle skidding.

Will parking violations with temporary license plates be fined?

Temporary license plate parking violations will be fined, and the penalty for temporary license plate violations must be paid promptly. Late payment will incur late fees, and demerit points may carry over to the next scoring cycle. Temporary license plates, also known as temporary vehicle movement permits, are paper motor vehicle license plates that allow temporary road use before formal registration. Issued by vehicle management authorities, they serve as provisional driving permits for newly purchased vehicles. The validity period of temporary plates generally does not exceed 30 days. Based on plate type, they can be categorized into: temporary plates for administrative jurisdictions, cross-jurisdictional temporary plates, test-use temporary plates, and special-type vehicle temporary plates.

How many points will be deducted for driving straight in the wrong lane?

Driving straight in the wrong lane will result in a deduction of 2 points. Penalties for not driving in the designated lane: According to Article 51 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, when a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic signals, it must enter the designated lane according to the intended direction of travel at intersections with marked lanes. If a driver does not follow the designated lane (i.e., drives in the wrong lane), they will generally be penalized with a deduction of 2 points and a fine. Common violations of not driving in the designated lane include: 1. Making a U-turn or left turn in sections where such actions are not allowed or prohibited; 2. Not following the guiding markings at intersections and driving in the corresponding lane; 3. Illegally entering a dedicated lane. Borrowing a lane: This refers to pedestrians crossing the roadway where there is no marked sidewalk, or vehicles entering other lanes when turning, meeting, overtaking, making a U-turn, or parking. It includes motor vehicles changing lanes, entering non-motorized lanes or sidewalks, and non-motorized vehicles entering motorized lanes or sidewalks. If there are no traffic signs in a parking lot indicating whether driving in the opposite direction is allowed, ignorance may be excused. Otherwise, if there are corresponding warning signs, traffic police can impose penalties. On the road, driving in the opposite direction is generally determined by traffic markings. On two-way roads, vehicles must drive on the right side. Occupying the opposite lane will result in penalties for driving in the wrong direction.

Can a car purchased from another location be registered locally?

A car purchased from another location can be registered locally, provided the following conditions are met: possession of the car purchase invoice and vehicle certification. Key considerations for registering a car bought elsewhere locally: 1. Purchase compulsory traffic insurance (CTI), as the CTI policy is required for registration and driving on the road, which is a national regulation; 2. Obtain temporary license plates—driving without either license plates or temporary plates is prohibited; 3. Before registration, prepare the original and a copy of the vehicle certification, the original purchase invoice, purchase tax payment, the owner's ID card, and the CTI policy (specific requirements can be confirmed in advance with the local vehicle management office); 4. Pay the purchase tax locally—if paid elsewhere, local registration will not be possible, as regulations require purchase tax to be paid at the tax department in the registration location, ensuring the payment location matches the registration location.
