Can You Still Drive After Losing All 12 Points?

No. If all 12 points on your driver's license are deducted, the license will be temporarily suspended and revoked. You will need to retake the theoretical exam (Subject 1) and attend safety courses again. Only after passing the exam can you retrieve your license, so driving during this period is prohibited. If you fail the exam, you must continue studying and retaking the test until you pass. Once all 12 points are deducted, you can no longer operate a motor vehicle. The driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the license issuance location or where the violation occurred within 15 days to participate in study sessions. You will then take an exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Those who pass will have their points cleared and their license returned; those who fail must continue studying and retaking the exam. After passing the exam, the driver can regain their license. If the license has been suspended due to losing all 12 points, continuing to drive constitutes unlicensed driving. If caught by traffic police, the penalty ranges from a fine of 200-2000 yuan, with severe cases facing up to 15 days of administrative detention.

What does the three guarantees for cars refer to?

The three guarantees actually refer to guarantee for repair, replacement, and refund, collectively known as the three guarantees. When consumers purchase a car, they can enjoy the "three guarantees" policy. When buying a car, it is essential to pay attention. Before signing the contract, we should confirm whether the "three guarantees" policy is written in the contract. If quality issues arise in the car during the three guarantees period, the 4S store is required to provide free repairs for consumers and cannot charge for labor or material costs. A car is a highly complex product. A car is not just a machine, so when you pick up the car, you must inspect it. If there are problems with the car, do not accept it. When inspecting the car, first check if there are any defects on the body paint surface, then look for any dents on the body surface. Next, open the engine hood to see if the screws on major components have been removed or show signs of rust. Then, enter the car to check for any interior defects. Finally, start the engine for a test drive to listen for any abnormal noises or vibrations during operation and to feel whether the transmission shifts normally.

Why won't the Magotan's trunk pop up?

There are mainly two reasons why the Magotan's trunk won't pop up, which are: First reason: The sealing strip has aged, causing the rear lid to stick. Second reason: The spring force of the rear lid has weakened. The solution involves the following three steps: Step one: Remove a corner of the interior trim panel. Step two: Move the hook of the rear lid spring back one notch. Step three: Restore the interior trim panel. Here are some additional points: 1. When the trunk lid is equipped with hangers or a luggage rack and is loaded with items, do not open the trunk lid. Similarly, if the trunk lid is loaded with items such as a bicycle, do not open it, as the trunk lid may close on its own due to its own weight and additional load. If it is necessary to open the trunk lid, it must be securely supported with an appropriate prop or the load must be removed. 2. When the car is not in use, always close and lock the trunk lid and all doors. Before closing, ensure that no one is inside the car.

What is the general mileage for a vehicle's first maintenance?

Vehicle first maintenance mileage generally requires attention to the following: 1. The period from when a new car is driven until its first maintenance is called the break-in period. During the break-in period, since the gears of the engine, transmission, etc. have not yet fully worn in smoothly, we generally should not drive too fast—absolutely do not exceed 100 km/h, and it's best not to exceed 80 km/h. 2. During the break-in period, in addition to not exceeding 100 km/h, the engine speed should also not exceed 3000 RPM. Avoid accelerating too aggressively, as it can negatively affect the engine's break-in. A proper break-in will result in fewer driving issues later and better fuel efficiency. 3. At what mileage should a new car undergo its first maintenance? After a new car is driven, 4S shops usually require owners to come in for the first maintenance within 3000 km. However, car manufacturers actually require owners to complete the first maintenance within 5000 km. Therefore, it is crucial not to exceed 5000 km before getting the first maintenance. If normal maintenance is not performed according to the user manual, it is equivalent to voiding the warranty, and the 4S shop and manufacturer have the right to refuse warranty repairs if issues arise.

How much impact will the implementation of China VI have on China V?

According to the China VI standards, the emissions from China IV and China V vehicles will have minimal impact on our future lives. Currently, the number of China III, China IV, and China V vehicles in China is enormous, and the government cannot enforce a blanket ban. The nationwide implementation of "China VI" will pressure owners of vehicles below the China VI standard to replace their cars. If this is enforced, it could develop into a social issue. The impact of China VI on China V vehicles is that they will depreciate faster. For China V vehicle owners, the good news after the implementation of the new China VI standard is that they can still drive normally without affecting the vehicle's regular use. However, with the implementation of the China VI emission standard, the resale value of China V used cars will undoubtedly show a downward trend, meaning they will depreciate faster after China VI is implemented. Although the implementation of the China VI standard poses a depreciation risk for China V vehicles, it also presents a great opportunity for consumers to "snag a bargain." After China VI is launched, China V models will have certain discounts, making them a viable option for buyers in second- and third-tier cities. Overall, under current circumstances, the implementation of the China VI emission standard has limited impact on China V models, which can still be driven normally, though it will affect the resale value of older vehicles.

What size memory card is needed for a dash cam?

Generally, a dash cam requires a 16GB or 32GB memory card. If you need to record more videos or require higher resolution, a 64GB or larger card is recommended. Common memory card capacities available in the market for dash cams include 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. Key considerations when selecting a dash cam: video resolution and recording mode. Video resolution: When choosing a dash cam, the first thing to consider is its video resolution. It should be able to clearly capture pedestrians' faces or vehicle license plate numbers. Typically, a 1080P resolution is sufficient. Lower resolutions may produce overly blurry footage with limited value, while excessively high resolutions consume too much storage space, leading to frequent memory card replacements and unnecessary hassle. Recording mode: In addition to resolution, it's important to select a dash cam with loop recording. When the memory card is full and not replaced in time due to oversight, critical incidents may go unrecorded. A dash cam with loop recording can overwrite old footage with new recordings when the memory card is full, ensuring no potential event is missed.
