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.

Since childhood, I've loved tinkering with my car. A 'normal vehicle condition' simply means I can verify everything's fine through DIY checks. For instance, listening to the engine during cold starts – if there's a ticking sound or blue smoke, it might indicate carbon buildup; pressing the brake pedal to feel its responsiveness – if it's not sharp, it's time to inspect the discs; I also enjoy testing headlights and turn signals at night to ensure adequate brightness. These simple tests help me spot potential issues early, saving me a towing fee last year. A healthy car means precise handling, better fuel efficiency, more enjoyable weekend drives, and worry-free long trips without breakdowns. Remember to regularly check small details like wiper blade wear or suspension roughness over bumps – these habits can extend your car's lifespan multiple times.

Safety comes first when driving. A vehicle in normal condition basically means the brakes are responsive, the steering is accurate, and the lights are bright, ensuring life safety. Once, I encountered a situation where a friend's car had soft brakes but didn't pay attention, resulting in a rear-end collision. Fortunately, it wasn't serious. So now I've developed the habit of checking that all dashboard lights are off before starting the car, and during driving, I pay attention to whether the engine runs smoothly to avoid skidding on rainy days. When refueling, always choose reputable gas stations and avoid low-quality fuel that could damage the engine. Also, check if the air conditioning cools properly. Ensuring these aspects can greatly reduce the risk of accidents, making driving more focused and reassuring.

Can a Vehicle That Fails Annual Inspection Be Scrapped?

Vehicles that fail annual inspection can be scrapped, and those that have not undergone inspection for 3 years will be forcibly scrapped. Vehicle scrapping process: The owner of a vehicle applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out the "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" in duplicate and affix the owner's seal. Apply at the registration acceptance counter, and for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age limit, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age limit, after inspection and confirmation by the vehicle inspection counter that they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The vehicle owner can then choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle, presenting the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photographs after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The vehicle owner must then submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photographs of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations after approval.

How to Correct Steering When Turning Right Too Late During Reverse Parking?

If you turn the steering wheel too late when reversing to the right, keep the steering wheel fully turned to the right without returning it. Observe the left rearview mirror to ensure the rear of the vehicle enters the parking space, and check the right rearview mirror to prevent the right rear wheel from crossing the line, causing the car body to tilt left. At this point, straighten the steering wheel and turn it to the left to adjust the car's position and smoothly complete the parking.
