What does 'normal status' mean for a motor vehicle?
2 Answers
When the driver's license query status shows 'normal', it means there are no traffic violations, no penalty points, and no pending cases. Other possible statuses for a driver's license include: temporarily suspended, revoked, canceled, annulled, seized, detained, announced as invalid, announced as suspended, with penalty points, overdue for review, cancelation with possibility of restoration, lost, damaged, etc. Below are common traffic violations: 1. Running a red light: This is the most common violation. According to new traffic regulations, running a red light results in a 6-point deduction; 2. Driving without a license: If a driver continues to drive while their license is temporarily suspended, they will be fined and detained for 15 days. Driving without obtaining a license or after license revocation will result in 15-day detention and a fine; 3. Overloading or overcapacity: For passenger vehicles exceeding the rated capacity by less than 20% or freight vehicles exceeding the rated load by less than 30%, a fine will be imposed. Exceeding 20% for passenger vehicles or 30% for freight vehicles will result in a fine; 4. Drunk driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol will result in a 3-month license suspension and a fine. Driving a commercial vehicle under the influence will also result in a 3-month license suspension and a fine; 5. Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit by 50% will result in a fine and license revocation.
The vehicle is in normal condition, meaning it drives as usual with no issues, which is reassuring. For a young driver like me who just got the license, the biggest fear after buying a used car is encountering problems. So, every weekend I make it a habit to pop the hood and take a quick look: the oil dipstick shows the level within the standard range, the coolant is clear without bubbles, and the tire pressure is normal with no slipping. When starting, the engine fires up with just a turn of the key, humming smoothly without excessive noise. Acceleration is linear without jerking, and at high speeds, the wind noise is so low that I can clearly hear the radio. If there are any unusual sounds or warning lights on the dashboard, it's best to get it checked immediately to prevent minor issues from turning into major breakdowns. Regular checks can save money on unnecessary part replacements and ensure a comfortable driving experience.
