An A2 license will not be downgraded after deducting 12 points. With the implementation of the new regulations on April 1, 2022, A2 license holders who accumulate 12 points in a scoring cycle will no longer face downgrading. Instead, they need to participate in the study and examination of Subject 1 to clear the violation points and retrieve their license. The A2 license permits the holder to drive tractor-trailers, which can tow heavy and medium full trailers/semi-trailers. Trailers are divided into two types: full trailers and semi-trailers. A full trailer bears its total weight entirely, while a semi-trailer shares part of its total weight with the towing vehicle. Only drivers with an A2 license can operate such tractor-trailers; even those with an A1 license cannot drive them. To downgrade an A2 license, the holder must visit the local vehicle management office with their ID card and a copy, driver's license, white-background photo, and a medical certificate from a county-level or military regimental-level medical institution. The A2 license can be downgraded to a B1 or B2 license. The A2 license corresponds to tractor-trailers, the B1 license to medium-sized buses, and the B2 license to large trucks. Other vehicle types that an A2 license holder can drive include: B1 (medium-sized buses), B2 (large trucks), C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed trucks), C4 (three-wheeled cars), and M (wheeled self-propelled machinery). Article 68 of the new traffic regulations states: If a driver holding a large passenger vehicle, tractor-trailer, city bus, medium-sized bus, or large truck license falls under any of the following circumstances, the vehicle management office shall revoke their highest permitted driving qualification and notify the driver to complete the downgrade and license replacement within 30 days: Being involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bearing equal or greater responsibility, without constituting a crime. Accumulating 12 points in a scoring cycle. Failing to undergo inspection for three consecutive scoring cycles. A driver's license, officially known as a motor vehicle driving license, is a legal document required for operating motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain skills. Without these skills, driving recklessly may lead to accidents, and generally, unlicensed individuals are not allowed to drive on roads. However, for those who have mastered safe driving techniques, the permit to drive on roads is granted through a 'driver's license.' The permission to drive is issued through the granting of a driver's license. This indicates that obtaining a driver's license is a formal process that must be conducted by a specialized authority. Internationally, a driver's license is defined as: 'A document issued by the competent authority permitting the holder to drive a motor vehicle.' In China, a driver's license is defined as: A motor vehicle driving license is a legal credential issued by the management authority to individuals who have learned to drive, mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the required examinations, permitting them to operate specific types of motor vehicles.

Is Vehicle Inspection Required for New Car Registration?

New car registration does not require a vehicle inspection. The purpose of new car registration is to identify the vehicle's region through the license plate and access the vehicle's registration information based on the plate. The documents required for new car registration include: ID card, vehicle certification of conformity, vehicle parameter sheet, second and fourth copies of the car invoice, vehicle purchase tax, car insurance policy, purchase invoice, vehicle certification of conformity, ID card or organization code certificate and its copy for invoicing, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and tax payment certificate. Important notes for new car registration: It is mandatory to purchase compulsory traffic insurance, and commercial insurance is also recommended. After purchasing insurance, keep the insurance invoice safe. You must pay the vehicle purchase tax at the local tax bureau, and it must be a tax bureau near the registration location. After paying the tax, you will receive a tax payment certificate, which must be kept safe as it is required during registration. When selecting a license plate at the vehicle management office, it is a "50-choose-1" process. Pay attention to the time limit during selection—once the plate is confirmed, it can be finalized. You have a total of 3 minutes to choose a plate, and if you don't select one, a default plate will be assigned.

Does BMW Have Manual Transmission?

BMW does have models with manual transmission, including the BMW M4, BMW M2, BMW 1 Series, and imported 3 Series. Below is an introduction to manual transmission vehicles: Introduction to Manual Transmission Vehicles: A manual transmission vehicle uses a manual shift mechanical transmission (also known as manual transmission, MT) to adjust the vehicle speed. This means the driver must manually move the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, thereby altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. The gear lever can only be adjusted when the clutch is depressed. Characteristics of Manual Transmission Vehicles: Drivers can save fuel by selecting the appropriate gear. The commonly cited fuel efficiency of mechanical transmission vehicles is due to their higher transmission efficiency, which reduces power loss. Driving a manual transmission car requires excellent driving skills; by choosing the right gear at the right time, true fuel efficiency can be achieved. Manual transmission cars offer quicker acceleration, faster downshifting, and better speed control, allowing for more agile maneuvering. In contrast, automatic transmission cars are relatively slower to respond, and overtaking still requires pressing the accelerator twice.

What does 235/55r18 mean?

235 represents the tire's cross-sectional width of 235mm; 55 represents the tire's aspect ratio, with a higher value indicating a thicker tire; r stands for radial tire type, and 18 indicates the rim diameter of 18 inches. Below is relevant information about tires: Wear: Tires have wear indicators. There are triangular marks on the side of the tire, and when the tread wears down to the point indicated by the triangle, it is recommended to replace the tire. Inside the tire's tread grooves, there are also raised markers. When the tread wears down to the level of these raised markers, the tire should be replaced. Simple punctures can be repaired without needing replacement, but bulges must be replaced. Aging: Rubber oxidizes in the air, and oxidized rubber hardens, reducing grip. Therefore, even if a set of tires is not used, their lifespan will decrease. It is not recommended to use tires for more than 5 years from the production date. The production date is marked on the side of the tire.

What documents are needed to pick up a new car?

Documents such as the vehicle ownership certificate and the vehicle license. There are three key points to note when inspecting a new car: 1. Check the paint surface: The uniformity and smoothness of the seams are the focus of inspection. It's best to compare with two cars of the same model. The gaps between the doors, bumper, and engine hood should be consistent. If the gaps are too large or the width differs from other cars, choose carefully; 2. Check the tires: The new car's tires should have no damage on the sidewalls, and the front tires should have no puncture marks on the tread. It's best if the tire hairs on both front and rear tires are intact, at least the rear tire hairs should be visible. If there are no traces of tire hairs on both front and rear tires, but the odometer shows only a few kilometers, it's abnormal; 3. Check the nameplate: Each car's nameplate corresponds to the unique engine number and chassis number of the vehicle. Verify the numbers with the certificate of conformity to ensure the codes match. Check the manufacturing date on the nameplate; the gap between the pickup time and the manufacturing time should not exceed three months.
