With the implementation of the new driver's license point deduction rules, a maximum of three driver's licenses can be used to deduct points for one vehicle. If the traffic violations of one vehicle exceed the points that can be deducted by three driver's licenses, the remaining points will be deducted using one driver's license. Additional information: 1. Points fully deducted: According to the new traffic regulations, if the driver's license is confiscated and more than 12 but less than 24 points are deducted, the driver must participate in the study and examination of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; if more than 24 points are deducted, the driver must also take a road driving skills test. Upon passing the exams and paying all fines, the deducted points will be reset, and the driver's license will be returned. 2. Studying related knowledge: The motor vehicle driver must, within fifteen days, participate in a seven-day study of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security organ where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred.

I just got my driver's license last year and share a car with my family. We found that the three of us don’t have enough points to deduct, which is such a headache. We often take turns driving, but we easily end up speeding or violating traffic rules if we’re not careful. The solution is to control our driving habits: try to avoid overtaking, run fewer red lights, and use navigation apps to remind us of speed limits. When points are almost used up, attending traffic safety courses can help recover some points—like in our area, completing the course restores a few points. If all else fails, find a backup driver, such as asking a friend for help with short trips or using ride-sharing services as a substitute. The key is to develop good habits, check your points regularly, and don’t wait until they’re all deducted to realize the mistake—otherwise, you won’t even be qualified to drive on the road.

Does a private car with a Beijing Entry Permit belong to passenger vehicles?

It does not belong to passenger vehicles. Below are relevant details: Traffic restrictions for out-of-town vehicles in Beijing: Non-local passenger vehicles (including those with temporary license plates) that need to enter roads within the Sixth Ring Road (excluding the road itself) must apply for a Beijing Entry Permit (Beijing Passenger Vehicle Entry Permit or Beijing Urban Area Entry Permit). Non-local passenger vehicles with a Beijing Entry Permit are prohibited from driving on roads within the Fifth Ring Road (including the road itself) from 7:00 to 9:00 and 17:00 to 20:00 on weekdays. The following vehicles are exempt from the above restrictions: military, armed police, and special vehicles such as police cars and ambulances on duty. Inter-provincial long-distance passenger vehicles and inter-provincial tourist coaches with road transport certificates. The tail number restriction system is a traffic regulation introduced to alleviate urban traffic pressure. During the 2007 Beijing Olympic test events, Beijing implemented an odd-even license plate restriction. On odd-numbered days, only private cars with license plates ending in an odd number are allowed on the road, while on even-numbered days, only those ending in an even number are permitted.

Can I drive without carrying my physical driver's license if I have an electronic version?

Electronic driver's licenses are only applicable in certain regions, and currently, they are not supported on highways. Although portable query terminals have been adopted by traffic police, not all local traffic police are using them. Therefore, in some areas, even if other valid documents are provided, driver's license information may not be retrievable. Additional Information: The role of electronic driver's licenses: Electronic driver's licenses cannot completely replace physical driver's licenses. They can only serve as an auxiliary tool for query purposes. For handling various traffic violations and point deductions, a physical driver's license is still required. Electronic driver's licenses can only be used to assist in queries during traffic police vehicle inspections. Regulations: According to China's "Road Traffic Safety Law," drivers must carry their driver's license while driving. Failure to do so may result in a 1-point penalty and even the impoundment of the vehicle. However, with an "electronic driver's license," carrying the original is not mandatory, and presenting the electronic version will not incur penalties.

Can a dented car side skirt be pulled out?

It is possible to pull out a dented car side skirt. The dent can be removed using a metalworking machine. The process involves pulling, shaping, sanding, applying putty, smoothing, spraying texture coating, and painting. The key factors are the location and severity of the dent. Minor dents can be fixed by purchasing spray paint and doing it yourself, with dozens of options available online. Additional information: For more severe dents, it is recommended to visit a professional auto repair shop or 4S store for the best treatment. Internal repairs should be prioritized over direct cutting of the side skirt whenever possible. Impact: Metalworking, in simple terms, involves metal correction, applying putty, painting, and surface treatment. Theoretically, it does not harm the car, as the areas subjected to metalworking are usually just cover parts. However, there will still be some impact on the metalworked areas. After all, whether it's steel or iron, once the structure is deformed and then repaired, its strength will not be the same as before.

Passat displays 'key not found'?

Passat displays 'key not found' for the following reasons: When there is electromagnetic interference with similar frequencies nearby, the vehicle's antenna cannot emit normal electromagnetic waves and fails to function properly. Therefore, even if the key is inside the car, it cannot be detected. The system will return to normal once the vehicle leaves the interference area. Working principle of keyless start: 1. There are multiple antennas inside the Passat that emit radio waves to search for the key. 2. When a valid key is detected, pressing the start button will allow the engine to start. If no valid key is found, starting will be prohibited and the system will display 'key not detected'.

Does 'off' on the car dashboard indicate on or off?

In cars, 'off' means off, and 'on' means on. When 'off' appears on a car, it is usually the ESP OFF light. Here is an introduction to ESP: 1. Introduction: The Electronic Stability Program system typically supports the functions of ABS and ASR. It analyzes the vehicle's driving state information from various sensors and then sends correction instructions to ABS and ASR to help maintain the vehicle's dynamic balance. 2. Function: It monitors the car's driving state and prevents the vehicle from deviating from the ideal trajectory when understeer or oversteer occurs during emergency obstacle avoidance or turning.
