If 12 points are deducted, the driving qualification for the probationary model will be revoked. Here are some precautions for driving during the probationary period: 1. Driving alone on highways is not allowed during the probationary period: Many people think that driving on highways is not allowed during the probationary period. In fact, during the probationary period, you just cannot drive alone on highways. As long as there is a driver with more than 3 years of driving experience accompanying you in the front passenger seat, it is allowed. Otherwise, you will be fined 200 yuan. 2. Failing to display a "Probationary" sign on the rear of the vehicle will result in a 200 yuan fine: On one hand, drivers during the probationary period must display a "Probationary" or "Novice" sign on the rear of the vehicle. Failing to do so will result in a 200 yuan fine. On the other hand, it is absolutely forbidden to drive commercial vehicles, ambulances, rescue vehicles, and other special vehicles.

During my probationary period, my driver's license was also deducted 12 points, which was really frustrating! The solution is to report to the local traffic management department, pay all the fines, and they will revoke your driver's license on the spot. After that, you need to re-register for the driver's test, starting from the written test (subject one) and including both theoretical and practical exams, which will cost around one to two thousand yuan. The whole process may take about a month, which is quite time-consuming. I suggest you pay attention to speed limits and traffic signals next time you drive. The risk of point deductions is high during the probationary period, and checking your violation records regularly can help prevent issues in advance.

I just got my driver's license and already got points deducted during the probationary period—a hard lesson learned. Losing all 12 points means immediate license suspension, requiring you to stop driving. You must promptly report to traffic police to handle the violation, pay the fine, and then retake the driving test. The whole process is quite troublesome, as the exam might be more difficult, and it could also affect your insurance premiums. Looking back, speeding or illegal lane changes are common causes. It's best for new drivers to have an experienced driver supervise their driving.

I've been through this situation before. Losing 12 points during the probation period is really bad! First, go to the DMV to pay the fine. After your license is revoked, you'll need to retake the exam before you can drive again. Use navigation apps to remind you of speed limits while driving, and don't carelessly run red lights. Regularly review traffic rules to prevent losing all your points. Safety comes first - treat the probation period as a practice phase.

What Causes Gear Shifting Jerk in Cars?

Automatic transmission shifting jerkiness may be caused by: transmission clutch pressure leakage; transmission oil circuit blockage or poor flow; transmission fluid not filled to standard; or solenoid valve damage. The engine's power is transmitted through the transmission, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, more gears mean better fuel efficiency. Below is relevant information: 1. Solenoid valve damage: If sludge in the transmission fluid circulates and blocks the oil passages in the valve body, it can cause shifting jerkiness. Over time, this can lead to transmission overheating, impact, slippage, and other transmission issues. 2. Transmission fluid not filled to standard: Check whether the transmission fluid is filled to the correct level. Both insufficient and excessive transmission fluid can cause this issue. Vehicles with a transmission dipstick can check the fluid level against the standard markings when the engine is running.

Why is water dripping from the exhaust pipe of the Huansu S5?

Water dripping from the exhaust pipe of the Huansu S5 is a normal phenomenon. After gasoline undergoes complete combustion, it produces carbon dioxide and water vapor. When the water vapor condenses, it forms liquid water, which is discharged through the exhaust pipe once it accumulates to a certain amount. In fact, water dripping from the exhaust pipe is a good sign, as it indicates that at least three conditions are met: 1. The air-fuel mixture ratio is correct: This indicates that the fuel supply system is in good condition. 2. The engine's cylinder pressure is normal: This means there is no internal wear in the engine block, and components such as cylinder liners and sealing rings are functioning properly. 3. The exhaust pipe temperature is low: This shows that the heat generated during combustion is concentrated within the cylinders, with only a small amount escaping into the exhaust pipe, indicating strong engine power output.
