How to Have Someone Else Take the Points for a High-Definition Traffic Violation?

In principle, high-definition traffic violations cannot have someone else take the points. However, when the driver's own license points are insufficient, another person can take the points, but both the driver and the person taking the points must go to the vehicle management office to handle the matter. Additional information: 1. Does the person who committed the violation need to handle the points deduction themselves? Not necessarily. The points deduction for a traffic violation can be handled through various methods such as online platforms, apps, friends, or agencies. However, if the violation results in a 12-point deduction, only the driver themselves can go to the traffic police department to complete the full-point education, attend training on road traffic safety laws and regulations, and pass the subject one exam to clear the points and have their driver's license returned. 2. Notes: If using someone else's driver's license to help deduct points for a violation, the license must be bound to the vehicle. Each vehicle can only use up to three driver's licenses for points deduction, and each driver's license can only handle violations for up to three vehicles. If the traffic police department discovers that someone is helping to take points or engaging in other improper practices, they may refuse to process the request, and severe cases may result in corresponding penalties.

Why does the car make a chugging sound?

When idling, the car body shakes noticeably. Observing the exhaust pipe outlet, the exhaust gas flow is clearly intermittent, and the exhaust pipe shakes violently, accompanied by a distinct "chugging" sound. This is mostly caused by the following situations: 1. Engine misfire: An engine misfire mainly refers to one or more cylinders not functioning properly. Common symptoms include: intermittent exhaust gas flow, severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, and a clear "chugging" or "thumping" sound from the engine. This phenomenon is often related to ignition coil failure. 2. Overly rich air-fuel mixture: When the engine's air-fuel mixture is too rich, the symptoms include: difficulty starting the engine; poor acceleration after starting; uneven engine operation; black smoke from the exhaust pipe accompanied by a chugging sound, sometimes backfiring; reduced engine power and increased fuel consumption. This is mostly related to carbon buildup or clogged filters. 3. Cold start: During a cold start, the engine's lubrication is poor, the oil has low fluidity and is more viscous, leading to mechanical wear and noise. Additionally, during a cold start, the coolant temperature is low, and the air-fuel mixture is richer, resulting in incomplete combustion, which can cause engine shaking and chugging sounds. This is generally a normal phenomenon.

What does car coating mean?

Electroplating film, fully known as electroplating decorative film, is a decorative product developed based on PVC material with high brightness and high reflectivity characteristics. This product was initially applied in outdoor advertising, architectural decoration, lightbox advertising, etc. Characteristics of electroplating film: In terms of protecting car paint, the original intention of developing electroplating decorative film was for advertising decoration. Therefore, compared to professional-grade car body color-changing films, electroplating film is more likely to peel off car paint and leave residual adhesive after removal. Regarding construction technical requirements, while electroplating film attracts car owners with its excellent mirror effect, it also significantly increases the difficulty of application. This not only raises the market entry threshold but also plays a role in survival of the fittest. In terms of memory capability, electroplating film itself has no memory ability, so it cannot automatically heal minor scratches under sunlight like professional-grade car body color-changing films. Application method of electroplating film: Before applying the film, the area to be covered must be cleaned. In most cases, washing with soapy water is sufficient. If conditions permit, use a lint-free cloth, 50% concentration alcohol or isopropanol, acetone, etc. After the alcohol and other liquids have evaporated, the film can be applied. First, apply one side, fix it, then use a tool to smooth it out while peeling off the backing paper.
