If 12 points are deducted from your driver's license within one cycle, the vehicle management office should conduct a road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test within 20 days. Upon passing the test, the points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. Below is an introduction to the rules regarding driver's license point deductions: 1. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within one scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall confiscate their motor vehicle driver's license. 2. The motor vehicle driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to participate in a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. 3. After the driver completes the study session, the vehicle management office should conduct a road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test within 20 days. Those who pass the test will have their points cleared and their driver's license returned. Those who fail must continue studying and retaking the test. Those who refuse to participate in the study session or take the test will have their driver's license suspended by the traffic management department of the public security authority. 4. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points or more twice within one scoring cycle or accumulates 24 points or more, the vehicle management office must also conduct a road driving skills test within 10 days after the driver passes the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. The road driving skills test will be based on the highest vehicle class permitted by the driver's license.

Last time I accidentally ran a red light while driving and got 12 points deducted at once, which made me quite anxious. I immediately contacted the local DMV, and they arranged for me to attend a mandatory traffic safety education course. The class usually takes half a day, covering accident case studies and traffic regulations. After completing the course, there's a multiple-choice exam on basic traffic rules. Passing the test clears the points, and if you fail the first time, you can retake it a few more times. Going through the whole process, I found it quite worthwhile as it enhanced my safety awareness. My advice is not to delay if this happens to you—take action immediately; otherwise, your license might be suspended. Since then, I've been driving more carefully and even installed a navigation speed limit reminder app to avoid making mistakes again.

I've been driving for many years and know the consequences of accumulating 12 penalty points. When this happens, you must immediately report to the traffic police station. They will require you to attend a day of learning and testing. The study content includes road regulations, accident prevention, etc. If you pass the exam, your points will be reset to zero; if you fail, you'll need to retake it. Multiple failures may lead to license suspension or revocation. I think this is a good thing as it forces everyone to prioritize safety. Most point deductions are caused by speeding or drunk driving, so it's important to develop good habits: such as driving within speed limits and wearing seat belts. It's advisable to handle it as soon as possible to avoid affecting daily work. Bring your driver's license and ID card for convenient processing.

Does the BMW X3 28i have a 360-degree camera?

The BMW X3 28i does not come standard with a 360-degree camera, but it can be optionally installed if needed. Introduction to the 360-degree reversing camera: The 360-degree panoramic reversing camera is a system that allows the driver to view a 360-degree panoramic fusion of the car's surroundings on the vehicle display screen, with an ultra-wide viewing angle and seamless stitching of real-time image information (bird's-eye view). It helps the driver understand the blind spots around the vehicle, making parking more intuitive and safer. It is also known as the panoramic parking camera system or the all-around parking camera system. Introduction to models equipped with a 360-degree reversing camera: Many models now come equipped with a 360-degree reversing camera, such as the BYD Yuan, JAC Refine S3, Geely Vision SUV, and Geely Borui.

What does EBD mean in Geely cars?

EBD in Geely cars refers to the Electronic Brakeforce Distribution system, with the full English name being Electric Brakeforce Distribution. Functions of EBD: The function of EBD is to instantly calculate the friction values of the four tires caused by different adhesion levels during vehicle braking, and then adjust the braking device to make high-speed adjustments according to the set program during motion, achieving a match between braking force and friction (traction) to ensure vehicle stability and safety. EBD is usually used in conjunction with ABS: In the event of emergency braking causing wheel lock-up, EBD balances the effective ground grip of each wheel before ABS activates, preventing tailspin and lateral movement, and shortening the vehicle's braking distance. EBD is actually an auxiliary function of ABS, which can improve and enhance the effectiveness of ABS.

What Causes Water Leakage in the Front Passenger Side of a Mercedes-Benz S350?

Mercedes-Benz S350 front passenger side water leakage causes and solutions are as follows: Causes of water leakage in the front passenger side of a Mercedes-Benz S350: Water leakage under the front passenger seat is likely caused by door leakage. If the window regulator has been replaced, it may be due to improper sealing of the door waterproof membrane after the replacement. This happens because the waterproof membrane needs to be peeled off during the regulator replacement process. If the membrane is not properly resealed, heavy rain can cause water to enter the cabin. You can perform the sealing work yourself or replace the waterproof membrane. Solutions for water leakage in the front passenger side of a Mercedes-Benz S350: If you hear noticeable sloshing sounds when opening/closing doors or while driving, this indicates accumulated water inside the door panel. Simply use a thin wire or small screwdriver to unclog the drainage holes - this is something you can easily do yourself.

Where is the dome light fuse located in the Volkswagen Sagitar?

The dome light fuse box of the Volkswagen Sagitar is located on the left side of the center console, inside the cover panel above the driver's footwell. Steps to replace the fuse: Turn off the engine and power equipment; locate the corresponding position, use a small pry bar to open the protective cover, and you can see the component information on the inside of the fuse box; use a test pen to check whether the fuse is blown. If it is damaged, remove it with tweezers and replace it; only fuses with the same current rating (indicated by the same color and printed text) and the same size can be used for replacement; after replacement, check whether the corresponding component is working, otherwise send it to a repair shop for inspection in time. Precautions related to fuses: Installing fuses of different specifications may cause damage to components or even a fire risk; do not replace fuses with a current rating higher than the specified value, otherwise it may cause the component to burn out; do not splice broken fuses; do not use paper clips to replace the original fuse.

What is the method to permanently prevent water from sticking to rearview mirrors?

Methods to permanently prevent water from sticking to rearview mirrors: Installing rain deflectors is a common method to prevent rainwater from adhering to rearview mirrors, with noticeable effects, especially in rainy regions where it proves very practical. They generally last for several years, but their effectiveness significantly diminishes during heavy rain. Additionally, high-speed driving comes with the drawback of increased wind noise due to the higher drag coefficient. Using toothpaste, soap, or dishwashing liquid is a convenient and quick solution, as these tools are commonly found at home. The principle is the same: disrupting the attraction between water molecules to reduce the surface tension of water, allowing water molecules to distribute evenly on the glass surface. Even during rain, water droplets will quickly run off without lingering on the mirror, making the rearview mirror much clearer. However, this method does not last long, typically only maintaining effectiveness for about 2 hours.
