If 12 points are deducted from a driver's license within the first year, it is considered as accumulating 12 points during the probationary period. According to regulations, the driver must retake the driving test. Below are the relevant regulations regarding accumulating 12 points on a driver's license: 1. Accumulating 12 points during the probationary period: If a driver accumulates 12 points during the probationary period, the license will be directly revoked. The license cannot be reinstated, and the driver must reapply and start the examination process from scratch. 2. Accumulating 12 points after the probationary period: The traffic management department will confiscate the driver's license. The driver must report to the traffic management department where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to undergo a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. If the driver passes the test, the points will be cleared, and the license will be returned. If the driver fails the test, they must continue studying and retake the test.

I know this all too well. Last year, I just got my license and immediately messed up big time. If you rack up 12 penalty points during the probationary period, your license gets revoked on the spot—I was completely stunned. Later, I had to dutifully go to the DMV to clear the points and retake the written test (Subject 1), only to find out the question bank had been updated by 30%. It took me three straight days of cramming to finally pass. A crucial reminder: handle your traffic violations ASAP. Don’t wait until the 30-day deadline at the end of your probationary period, or the system will forcibly revoke your license, and you won’t even be able to log into the 12123 app. When retaking the test, bring your ID, revocation notice, and medical certificate. Now, the exam video surveillance even uses facial recognition, so there’s no way around it—hiring a stand-in is completely out of the question.

How to Solve the Problem of Weak Airflow in Car Air Conditioning?

There are several reasons for reduced airflow in car air conditioning: 1. Check the air conditioning filter. A dirty filter with poor permeability can obstruct air circulation, leading to weak airflow. In such cases, it's necessary to replace the filter promptly. 2. Clean the air conditioning evaporator: The evaporator surface accumulates moisture during operation, which over time can trap dust and severely block airflow. 3. Turn the switch to the highest setting: Some car owners believe that setting the air conditioning to the highest level increases fuel consumption. However, setting the airflow to maximum has minimal impact on fuel consumption. If the airflow still feels weak, adjust the switch to the highest setting. 4. Activate the internal circulation mode: Enabling internal circulation allows air to circulate within the car without drawing in external heat, creating a cooler sensation and reducing external resistance, which relatively increases airflow.

What are the requirements for purchasing duty-free imported vehicles in Hainan?

Only vehicles for operational purposes can apply for duty-free status. This not only requires the purchasing enterprise to be engaged in transportation or tourism industries, but also mandates that the vehicles must be used specifically for these two sectors. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Hainan's zero-tariff policy only applies to 'operational vehicles': It is explicitly stated that the policy primarily targets 'operational vehicles,' meaning it is unrelated to personal interests. Moreover, the policy does not completely lift restrictions and is likely to impose strict limitations on vehicle usage, quantity, technical specifications, etc. 2. A 10% vehicle purchase tax is levied in Hainan: According to the 'Vehicle Purchase Tax Law,' the current vehicle purchase tax rate is 10% of the vehicle's selling price (excluding tax), with a value-added tax rate of 13%. 3. New energy vehicles are exempt from purchase tax: From January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2022, new energy vehicles purchased are exempt from the vehicle purchase tax. New energy vehicles exempt from purchase tax include pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid (including range-extended) vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles.

What to Do If the Rear Taillight Cover of the Car Is Broken?

There are several solutions for a cracked rear taillight cover: 1. Small cracks: Depending on the severity of the crack, if it is still functional, continue using it for a while. 2. Glue repair: Simple repairs can be made using glue and plastic. 3. Check the wiring: Inspect the wiring of the taillight; if it is affected by short circuits during rain, replace the cover. Related knowledge about car lights: 1. No separate replacement: The taillight cover cannot be replaced separately because auto parts stores do not sell individual components, so the entire assembly must be replaced. 2. Warranty period: The warranty for car lights is often only 3-6 months. Since lights are considered wear-and-tear parts, the maintenance manual usually states in small print that while the entire car has a three-year warranty, the headlights often only have a warranty of 3 to 6 months or 5,000 kilometers.

Is it necessary to apply rear window film?

Applying rear window film is necessary for the following reasons: 1. Cooling: It provides heat insulation and blocks UV rays from the sun, which can also help reduce air conditioning consumption to some extent. 2. Privacy: It ensures a certain level of privacy inside the car. Typically, cars with window film make it difficult to see inside from the outside while allowing clear visibility from the inside out. Post-application precautions include: 1. Sun-drying the vehicle after application: Whether it's the front or rear window, after applying the film, it's advisable to expose the car to sunlight for a period to help the film dry faster, ensuring it doesn't affect subsequent use. Generally, about a week of sun exposure is sufficient. 2. Avoid rolling windows up and down: After applying the film, try not to roll the windows up or down for at least three days. This is because there may still be moisture between the film and the glass, and rolling the windows during this period can cause the edges of the film to peel off. 3. Avoid attaching items to the windows: For one month after application, refrain from attaching strongly adhesive labels to the window film to prevent partial peeling.

Is Anti-Lag System Harmful to the Car?

Anti-lag system does cause certain harm to the car. Essentially, anti-lag is an engine tuning method derived from drag racing. Since it deliberately ignites the air-fuel mixture outside the combustion chamber, anti-lag is essentially equivalent to what is commonly referred to as misfiring. The effects of anti-lag on the car: 1. Heat absorption: The anti-lag system not only reduces turbo lag but also has another advantage. Gasoline itself is highly volatile and can absorb part of the engine's heat. When highly volatile gasoline enters the engine and exhaust system, it can effectively lower the engine temperature. 2. Increased durability: Turbocharged race cars need to burn a very rich air-fuel mixture. Although this leads to high fuel consumption, it can reduce engine temperatures, thereby increasing engine durability from this perspective. 3. Disadvantages: However, the drawbacks are also unavoidable. The powerful force and high temperature generated by the explosion of the rich air-fuel mixture in the exhaust system will increase the load on parts such as the exhaust manifold, turbocharger exhaust-side blades, and valve surroundings, shortening the service life of the turbocharger, exhaust system, and engine exhaust valves.

Is It Harmful to Run the Car Air Conditioner for Two Hours While Idling?

It can cause some damage to the car, but the impact is not too severe. The car won't break down, but there may be some engine wear, potentially requiring earlier oil changes and maintenance. Here are the relevant details: 1. Car Air Conditioning: The car air conditioning system is designed to regulate and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the vehicle to optimal levels, providing a comfortable environment for passengers and reducing travel fatigue. It also creates better working conditions for the driver, playing a crucial role in ensuring safe driving. 2. Precautions: This consumes a significant amount of fuel. It is not recommended to run the air conditioning while idling for extended periods. Prolonged use of the air conditioning in recirculation mode can lead to deteriorating air quality inside the car, with increasing levels of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, which can pose health risks and even endanger lives.
