How Long Can You Delay Handling Traffic Violation Points?

Generally, you can check online or receive SMS notification within 3-7 days, with the latest not exceeding 15 days. According to traffic laws, after a motor vehicle violation, the information can usually be checked online or received via SMS notification within 3-7 days. After confirming the violation record, you should handle the violation promptly. Both fines and penalty points should be dealt with in a timely manner, and according to regulations, penalties should be accepted within fifteen days. Driving licenses have different scoring cycles, and in one scoring cycle, you can accumulate up to eleven points but must not reach twelve points. If the accumulated points on a driving license are less than twelve when the scoring cycle ends, the points will automatically reset to zero, and there will be no points deducted when entering the next scoring cycle. Points incurred on a driving license do not automatically reset to zero and will remain. Untreated violation points will also persist until the end of the driving license's scoring cycle. However, if the points do not reach twelve and have already been processed on the driving license, the total accumulated points will automatically reset to zero at the end of the scoring cycle. Of course, untreated points will not reset automatically. If you have points, you can appropriately utilize the driving license's scoring cycle reset rule to handle and clear the points.

Can You Pass the Subject 2 Test Without a Mock Exam?

Not taking a mock exam for Subject 2 has little impact on the actual test; it is possible to pass without a mock exam. The purpose of a mock exam is to check whether you can pass the official test. Generally, if you can pass the mock exam, you can also pass the official one. Mock training is also known as test site adaptation training. Subject 2 Test Precautions: Control the speed when reversing. The start must be completed within 30 seconds. When parking sideways, maintain a 30cm margin and control the points reasonably. When driving through curves, adjust the vehicle body slowly. Try to ensure the wheels do not cross the lines, and find the right moment to turn the steering wheel during right-angle turns. Subject 2 Test Deduction Items: Not wearing a seatbelt, not closing the car door, not getting out of the car, stopping midway, exceeding the time limit, or pressing the solid line with the wheels will result in a 100-point deduction. Incorrect use of lights or stalling the engine once will deduct 10 points. If the front bumper of the car does not reach the control line after stopping, 100 points will be deducted. If the car slips more than 30cm after stopping, 100 points will be deducted; if it slips less than 30cm, 10 points will be deducted. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test. The test items include: Reverse Parking: Reverse into the garage from the right starting point once, then drive to the left and reverse into the garage, and finally return to the starting point. No stopping is allowed during the reversing process. Parallel Parking: Drive the car to a position parallel to the garage in the forward direction, then reverse into the garage to the right rear without any pauses. Right-Angle Turn: Do not press the lines, complete it in one go, and do not stop midway. Slope Parking and Starting: The examinee must drive to the slope starting point, with the front wheels stopping exactly on the line. After passing, the examinee must perform a hill start without rolling backward. Any mistake will result in point deductions or even failure. Curve Driving: Drive through a lane with two turns greater than 40 degrees in one go without stopping, pressing the lines, or going out of bounds. The full score is 100 points, with criteria for failure, 20-point deductions, 10-point deductions, and 5-point deductions. A score of 80 or above is required to pass.

Can a Mortgaged Vehicle Apply for ETC?

Mortgaged vehicles are eligible for ETC application. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application of Electronic Non-stop Toll Collection on Highways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the following documents are required: the original valid ID card of the vehicle owner, the original and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate (showing the most recent annual inspection stamp page). If applying on behalf of someone else, the original valid ID card and a copy of the proxy are also required. If applying for ETC through major bank branches, a debit or credit card from the corresponding bank is needed. Some banks only support credit card binding for ETC services, while others may require freezing a portion of the amount as a deposit when binding a debit card. ETC Deduction Principle: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with banks, vehicles can pass through toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. This is based on the principle of "pass first, deduct later." Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues. Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by reducing noise and exhaust emissions as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping. Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by minimizing frequent starts and brakes, thereby reducing vehicle wear and fuel consumption. Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC systems more advanced, faster, 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, intercity transportation cards should be widely used in key city clusters, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC should significantly increase." The plan also sets a target of "achieving a 50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020." Future possibilities: In addition to improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, future efforts will focus on promoting ETC for trucks and exploring deeper integration of ETC systems with vehicle-to-vehicle communication, vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination, and other smart transportation developments. This will provide comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners, meaning more application scenarios will support ETC. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, maintain a distance of over 10 meters to prevent automatic payment for the preceding vehicle in case its ETC device is faulty or absent. The recognized speed for ETC lane passage is 20 km/h. Speeding may result in failed reading of vehicle device information and deduction failures. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or detachment/loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will render the tag invalid. It can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or a highway service office for inspection. Non-deliberate detachment or loosening only requires reactivation. Insufficient balance on a debit card bound to ETC may cause deduction failures. Follow on-site staff guidance to use manual MTC lanes and pay via cash or card. Excessively thick windshields may cause poor sensing, especially for vehicles with replaced or modified windshields after accidents.

What are the effects of excessive engine oil?

Effects include increased fuel consumption; reduced power; accelerated carbon buildup, damage to certain car components, leading to crankshaft oil seal leakage, and shortened oil shelf life. Below is relevant information: 1. When the engine is operating, its components undergo intense agitation. This not only increases internal power loss but also causes more oil to splash onto the cylinder walls, leading to oil burning issues. 2. Engine oil is viscous. Adding too much makes it harder for moving parts to rotate, resulting in poor power output, sluggish acceleration, unresponsive throttle, increased engine noise, higher vehicle fuel consumption, and accelerated internal carbon buildup in the engine.
