A driver's license scoring cycle is 12 months, starting and ending on the date the license was obtained. In other words, if the license was obtained on February 3rd, the scoring cycle starts on February 3rd and ends on February 2nd of the following year. The calculation method for the driver's license scoring cycle is as follows: 1. The cycle starts from the day the driver's license was first obtained, with each cycle lasting 12 months. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," Article 65, the cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the driver's license was first obtained; 2. Based on the severity of the road traffic safety violation, the points deducted for a single violation can be: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, or 1 point; 3. Article 66 states that penalties and point deductions for a motor vehicle driver's road traffic safety violations are executed simultaneously. If a motor vehicle driver commits more than one violation at a time, the points should be calculated separately and then accumulated.

When it comes to driving penalty points, I have to share my own driving experience. The scoring cycle for a driver's license is usually 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points that can be deducted. If you reach the limit, you'll have to attend a training course and take a test. Once, I was penalized 6 points for speeding, which really made me nervous, and since then I've strictly followed the speed limits. Actually, these traffic rules are designed for safety—accumulating too many points indicates high driving risks. So, it's wise to regularly check your violation records. I recommend using the traffic management app on your phone for inquiries, don’t wait for notifications. Let’s also talk about speeding penalties: exceeding the speed limit by 50% on highways results in an immediate 6-point deduction, and running a red light at city intersections also costs you 6 points. Accumulating over 12 points might lead to a suspension of your driver's license.

From a safety perspective, let's talk about this. I've always thought the driver's license demerit point system is a good mechanism, with a maximum of 12 points deducted per cycle, designed to restrain dangerous behaviors. For instance, drunk driving or severe speeding can deduct all 12 points at once. After losing all points, you must attend safety education courses and pass them to reinstate your license. A related matter is regularly checking your point status, which can be done through online services or in-person visits, to avoid unknowingly reaching the limit. Additionally, vehicle insurance is linked to this system - more points deducted may lead to higher premiums, which can have significant impacts. Developing good habits, like not crossing the line at red lights, is crucial.

Just a simple sharing of my thoughts. Within a 12-month cycle of the driver's license, you can accumulate a maximum of 12 penalty points. Once you reach the limit, you'll need to attend traffic regulations classes and take the test. I recommend always obeying speed limits and avoiding running red lights while driving. I often use apps to check my points, which is very convenient. Also, pay extra attention to parking violations, as they can easily result in point deductions.

Is it allowed to drive in slippers?

No. According to Article 62, Clause 3 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": driving with any behavior that hinders safe driving is prohibited. Based on Article 90 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law", violators will be penalized with 2 demerit points and a fine of 50 yuan. The hazards of driving in slippers are as follows: 1. Driving requires the use of both hands and feet. Driving in slippers is similar to behaviors like using a phone, eating, or watching TV while driving. All these actions violate the "Traffic Law", so car owners are advised to take this as a warning. 2. Wearing slippers reduces foot sensitivity, making it harder to control the pressure on the accelerator and brake. Experimental data shows that driving in slippers has the highest risk index.

How to Develop Driving Skills?

Driving skills require mastering the following three points: 1. Judging wheel position: Those who have studied for the driving test know that driving cannot cross solid lines. If caught crossing lines, you will face fines and penalty points. While driving, the driver should be able to estimate the approximate position of the wheels on the ground through certain fixed reference points inside the cabin, making the entire driving process much easier. 2. Proficient gear shifting: Driving is not just about staying in one gear to adapt to all road conditions; it requires switching gears according to actual situations. This ensures smooth driving without jerking, which can damage the vehicle. 3. Smooth starting: Whether on flat roads or slopes, the car should start without stalling. Driving on the road is real-world practice, unlike learning in a driving school, where vehicles surround you from all sides. Frequent stalling during starts can lead to constant honking from vehicles behind, and stalling on a slope may cause the car to roll backward.

Will Water in the Car Horn Affect the Vehicle?

Water in the car horn can indeed affect the vehicle. Here are some effective methods to prevent water from entering the car horn: 1. Elevate the Position: Try to install the horn as high as possible, and ensure it is angled downward at 60 degrees. This is the optimal position because it not only effectively prevents water from entering the horn but also allows any water that does get in to drain out naturally without accumulating inside. 2. Use a Shield: Find a board with good waterproofing properties. If unavailable, a regular plastic board will suffice. Secure the board to the gap between the bumper and the left front wheel in front of the horn to effectively block water splashed up by the wheels.
