Pumping the brakes mainly refers to the following points: 1. Initially apply slight brake pressure until you feel the vehicle noticeably decelerate. 2. Release the brake slightly (not completely), and when you sense the vehicle is about to lose braking control, reapply the brake. Repeat this cycle. The Road Driving Skills Test for Subject 3 includes: preparation before driving, simulated nighttime lighting test, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting operations, lane changing, pulling over, going straight through intersections, and making left turns at intersections for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, and small automatic transmission vehicles for the disabled.

How long after a downgrade due to drunk driving can an A2 driver's license be upgraded?

A2 driver's license after drunk driving downgrade, you must have three years of driving experience on the downgraded license before you can upgrade again. In addition to deducting 12 points, drunk driving also results in a six-month suspension of the license. Within thirty days after the deduction, you must go to the traffic management office to take the downgrade exam. The A2 driver's license will be downgraded to a B2 driver's license. If the driver does not complete the downgrade and license replacement within the specified time, the vehicle management office will announce the cancellation of the highest permitted driving model qualification. After completing the downgrade and license replacement, if the driver applies to reinstate the canceled permitted driving model, they must not have a record of 12 points deducted in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before the application, and must not have been involved in a fatal traffic accident where they bore equal or greater responsibility. The permitted driving model for an A2 license is a tractor, which can tow heavy and medium-duty full trailers/semi-trailers. Trailers are divided into two types: full trailers and semi-trailers. A full trailer bears its total weight entirely, while a semi-trailer shares part of its total weight with the tractor. Only drivers with an A2 license can drive such tractors; even drivers with an A1 license cannot drive tractors. To downgrade an A2 driver's license, you must go to the local vehicle management office. Before going, you need to bring your ID card and driver's license: 1. An A2 license downgrade will become a B1 or B2 license (i.e., B1 or B2 driver's license). The permitted driving model for an A2 license is a tractor, for a B1 license it is a medium-sized passenger vehicle, and for a B2 license it is a large truck. Other vehicle models that an A2 license can drive include: B1 (medium-sized passenger vehicle), B2 (large truck), C1 (small car), C2 (small automatic transmission car), C3 (low-speed cargo vehicle), C4 (three-wheeled car), M (wheeled self-propelled machinery vehicle). Article 68 of the new traffic regulations states: Drivers holding licenses for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, or large trucks must have their highest permitted driving model qualification canceled by the vehicle management office under the following circumstances, and the driver must be notified to complete the downgrade and license replacement within thirty days: Being involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bearing equal or greater responsibility, without constituting a crime. Having a record of 12 points deducted in a scoring cycle. Not participating in the inspection for three consecutive scoring cycles. The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a "driver's license." It is the certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle arbitrarily could lead to traffic accidents. Generally, people without a license cannot drive on the road. However, for those who have mastered safe driving skills, the document that allows them to drive on the road is the "driver's license." This indicates that a driver's license is a "permit." The permission to drive a vehicle is granted through the issuance of a driver's license. This shows that obtaining a driver's license is a formal process that must be carried out by a specialized authority. Internationally, a driver's license is defined as: "A document issued by the competent authority permitting the holder to drive a motor vehicle." In China, a driver's license is defined as: A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal document issued by the management department to individuals who have learned to drive a motor vehicle, mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the required exams, permitting them to drive a specific type of motor vehicle.

How many ETC devices can one person install at most?

One person can apply for multiple ETCs. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application Service of Electronic Non-stop Toll Collection on Expressways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the application for ETC is related to the vehicle's driving license. If you own multiple vehicles, you can apply for ETCs using different driving licenses. Documents required for ETC application: The original valid ID card of the vehicle owner, the original and a copy of the vehicle's driving license (the page with the latest annual inspection stamp must be provided). If applying on behalf of someone else, the original valid ID card of the agent is also required. If applying for ETC through major bank branches, a corresponding bank debit or credit card must be prepared. Some banks only support ETC binding with credit cards, while others may require freezing a certain amount as a deposit when binding ETC with a debit card. Additionally, the current year's vehicle insurance policy is needed. For corporate applications, the agent's ID card (or driver's license), the company's organization code certificate (or business license), and the company seal are required. ETC billing principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on the expressway. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with the bank, the vehicle can pay tolls without stopping at the toll station. All this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line. Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution. Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by reducing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and fuel consumption. Improved efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can be increased by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council explicitly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will significantly increase." It also set a target in the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development indicators: "By 2020, the ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles should reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and increasing the ETC usage rate for passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote ETC usage for trucks and explore the deep integration of ETC systems with smart transportation development directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC usage. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to prevent automatic fee deduction for the vehicle in front, in case its ETC device is faulty or nonexistent. The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 km/h. Driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to billing failure. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will render the tag ineffective. It can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the expressway service office for inspection. If the loosening or detachment is not due to human error, reactivation is sufficient. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance may cause billing failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pay with cash or card. Thick windshield glass may cause poor sensing. This is especially important for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or for those who have modified their front windshields.
