You need to go to the local public security authority's traffic management department to undergo a 7-day training on road traffic safety laws and related knowledge. After completing the 7-day training, you must also retake the subject one exam, which has the same content as the test for new driver's license applicants.

Last year, I maxed out my 12-point driving license penalty and was genuinely panicked! I reported to the traffic police station and was assigned a 7-day safe driving course covering traffic safety knowledge, emergency handling, etc. Attending classes for a few hours daily was quite interesting—I had to pass the final exam to reclaim my license. The whole process took about ten days, not expensive but time-consuming. The lesson learned: drive more carefully going forward—no speeding, no distracted phone use. I recommend installing an app to regularly check points; early awareness prevents trouble. The training was actually worthwhile, helping me become a more rule-abiding driver. Don’t procrastinate, or the consequences worsen—delays could mean longer suspensions or fines. Safety first is always right.

For someone like me who hasn't been driving for long, hearing about getting 12 penalty points sounds quite scary. You need to quickly go to the DMV or traffic police station to attend a week-long training course on traffic rules. Learn a bit about safe driving every day, and finally pass a test to get your license back. Don't wait, delaying the process can make things more troublesome and might even result in fines. You should always pay attention when driving—don't go too fast, and make sure to clearly see traffic signals to avoid running them. Installing a points-monitoring app can be a big help, allowing you to check your points anytime. Overall, it's a chance to relearn and improve your safety awareness. The key is to take positive action and not panic.

After accumulating 12 penalty points on your license, immediate action is required. You will be notified to attend a 7-day safety course at a designated department to study traffic regulations, including sign recognition and accident prevention. Upon passing the exam after the course, your license will be reinstated. This process ensures every driver values rules to reduce accidents. Always drive attentively: wear seat belts and avoid drunk driving. Regular vehicle maintenance checks are recommended to prevent potential hazards. Timely participation in training benefits social safety.

Can I still take the test if I arrive late for Subject 3?

Subject 3 cannot be taken if you arrive late. Here are the relevant details about Subject 3: Test content: vehicle preparation, simulated lighting test, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting operations, lane changing, pulling over, going straight through intersections, left turns at intersections, right turns at intersections, crossing pedestrian crosswalks, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. Important notes: After the examinee completes all required test items and drives a distance of more than 3 kilometers, the system will automatically prompt to pull over. Upon hearing the voice command to pull over, the examinee should choose a clear curb (or solid road edge line) along the test route and complete the pulling over maneuver after confirming safety. Once the vehicle is successfully pulled over, the system will announce the test results via voice broadcast.

What are the reasons for a sudden increase in fuel consumption of a car?

The reasons for a sudden increase in fuel consumption of a car are as follows: 1. Reason one: Poor driving habits, such as sudden stops and starts, driving at high speeds in low gears, can lead to high fuel consumption. To save fuel, try to maintain a steady speed and rely on inertia for braking. 2. Reason two: Engine carbon deposits. After carbon builds up in the engine, it can also cause high fuel consumption. Consider purchasing car products to clean the engine carbon deposits, making the car less fuel-consuming. 3. Reason three: Low tire pressure. Insufficient tire pressure and under-inflated wheels can also cause high fuel consumption. Before driving, check the inflation of the wheels. There are instruments to measure tire pressure, and timely inflation of the wheels can reduce fuel consumption. 4. Reason four: Overloaded trunk. Placing too many items in the trunk can also make the car consume more fuel. Clean the trunk in time and remove unnecessary items to lighten the load, naturally reducing fuel consumption.

Why is the H9 rarely seen on the way to Tibet?

Second, when climbing slopes and turning, the transmission oil temperature and engine water temperature of the Haval H9 will trigger warnings. Below is an introduction to the Hongqi H9: Exterior Design: The Hongqi H9 inherits the design of the Hongqi E-Jing GT concept car, featuring a 1:1.414 silver ratio that makes the front face appear more solemn, aligning with the Hongqi brand positioning. The H9 adopts Hongqi's exclusive "Shang·Zhi·Yi" design language, fully highlighting Eastern design aesthetics.
