If 12 points are deducted from a driver's license within one year, the system will automatically revoke the license, and the driver will need to reapply for a new one through the learning process. Here are the detailed explanations: If the vehicle has a violation worth 12 points: The driver should wait until after the probationary period to handle it, because the system checks whether the driver was in the probationary period on the day of the violation. If so, the license will still be revoked. If your vehicle accumulates 12 points during your probationary period, you must not use your own license to handle the violation. If the vehicle is penalized with 12 points: If your driver's license is still in the probationary period, the best solution is to have someone else take the points.

I just got my driver's license less than a year ago and already got 12 points deducted. I've been through this situation—a friend of mine accumulated a full 12 points during their probationary period due to speeding and not wearing a seatbelt, among other violations. According to regulations, having 12 points deducted within the first year of obtaining a license results in immediate revocation—it's not just a matter of attending a refresher course. Once revoked, you can't drive anymore. First, you have to pay the fines, attend a 7-day traffic safety education course at the local DMV, and then retake the theoretical exam (Subject 1). If you fail the first time, you'll need to retake it. I suggest using this opportunity to learn more about traffic rules, such as watching online videos to reinforce your knowledge and avoid future mistakes. New drivers often act recklessly—I was the same way—but upon reflection, I realized the risks were huge. Luckily, I handled it promptly and avoided accidents.

As a young novice driver, I'm quite concerned about getting penalty points. If all 12 points are deducted during the probationary period, the consequences can be quite severe. After the driver's license is revoked, you won't be allowed to drive, and you'll receive a notice to attend mandatory classes and take exams at designated locations. First, stop driving immediately, otherwise it would count as unlicensed driving which is very dangerous. Then, visit the DMV to complete the revocation procedures, pay all fines, and attend traffic safety courses. Only after passing the written test (Subject 1) can your driving privileges be restored. I recently checked these regulations and found that novice drivers often make mistakes due to overlooking road signs or speeding, so I constantly remind myself to drive slower and check the dashboard more frequently. I recommend downloading a traffic violation alert app to prevent problems in advance—it's a much more reliable approach.

According to regulations, accumulating 12 penalty points during the probationary period of a driver's license will result in immediate revocation. After revocation, driving is prohibited, and one must apply for a learning program at the traffic police department, completing 7 days of mandatory education. Upon passing the exam, a new license will be issued, and the probationary period will restart. The key is to act promptly without delay, as accumulating fines can lead to more complications. While researching this, I found many people underestimate the consequences—poor driving habits among beginners often lead to this situation. It's advisable to consult professionals for detailed procedures to avoid mistakes in self-handling.

What is the Difference Between 4S Store Spray Paint and Original Factory Paint?

4S store spray paint and original factory paint differ in the following aspects: 1. Variety: Original factory paint refers to the paint applied during production in the factory, with the topcoat typically being amino paint that undergoes high-temperature baking. Currently, 4S stores mainly use polyurethane paint, which cures at room temperature or dries through low-temperature baking. 2. Repair level: While 4S stores can achieve the effect of original factory paint, it is not the genuine original factory paint. Processes like electrophoresis within the original factory paint cannot be replicated by 4S stores or repair shops; they can only repair the top three layers: the primer layer, color layer, and clear coat layer. 3. Lifespan: The lifespan of 4S store spray paint is shorter compared to original factory paint. The quality of the spray paint largely depends on paint mixing, the spraying environment, and the technical skill of the workers. Paint mixing may seem simple, but achieving the right mix is not easy. Complex car paints use color codes and computer analysis for tinting, while simpler ones involve manual addition of colorants and comparative tinting, adjusted bit by bit. It is impossible for the mixed paint to perfectly match the original factory paint, but the color difference is generally unnoticeable to the naked eye.

How to Use Cruise Control in Volkswagen Lavida?

Here is how to use the cruise control in Volkswagen Lavida: 1. The cruise control switch of Volkswagen Lavida is located on the lower left side of the steering wheel. Its main functions include turning off/resuming cruise control, setting speed limits, speed adjustment, and distance adjustment for the sports version. 2. Pressing CNL cancels the cruise control, while 0/1 turns it off. Press RES to resume cruise control. 3. The cruise control function does not activate immediately after turning on the switch. The SET button is used to set the desired speed. (Note: It can only be activated when the speed is above 30km/h.) 4. The silver buttons are used to adjust the speed value, with the left/right buttons controlling speed decrease/increase respectively. 5. The middle cylindrical button can also be used to manually set the following distance. Precautions for using cruise control are as follows: 1. Cruise control does not have automatic braking function, while adaptive cruise control is more intelligent and solves this problem. However, full automation of electronic devices still needs gradual improvement, so drivers should remain attentive to road conditions. 2. When the driver presses the brake pedal, cruise control stops working. The speed value is not cleared and can be restored to continue cruising. 3. In situations like heavy rain or winding mountain roads, please turn off the cruise function and switch to careful manual driving. 4. On downhill slopes, the vehicle may accelerate. Use the foot brake to assist and turn off cruise control if necessary.
