Will points be deducted for not holding the steering wheel with both hands?

If both hands leave the steering wheel and are captured by the camera, 6 points will be deducted, and a fine will be imposed. The following are precautions for driving: 1. Pay attention to preventing fatigue driving: Fatigue reduces the driver's judgment ability, slows reaction time, increases operational errors, leads to untimely and inaccurate gear shifting, and some may even experience short-term sleepiness, losing control of the vehicle. 2. Never drive under the influence of alcohol: After drinking, rationality and self-control decrease, vision deteriorates, the field of vision narrows, concentration is impaired, and the sense of body balance weakens, leading to delayed responses and sluggish actions when operating the brake, accelerator, and clutch pedal. 3. The dangers of speeding: When speeding, the driver becomes mentally tense, consumes a lot of psychological and physical energy, experiences reduced vision, a narrowed field of vision, and impaired judgment, making it easy to cause collisions, rollovers, and other traffic accidents.

After driving for so many years, I've personally experienced quite a few things. Not keeping both hands on the steering wheel will definitely result in penalty points—under most traffic regulations, this is considered distracted or dangerous driving. I remember once two years ago while waiting at a red light, I let go to adjust my hair and got caught by a traffic camera, resulting in 3 penalty points and a 100-yuan fine. The officer explained that the steering wheel is the fundamental support for driving; removing both hands reduces reaction speed, making accidents more likely during emergency lane changes or evasive maneuvers. Later, I checked the regulations—cities like Beijing and Shanghai explicitly require drivers to maintain vehicle control at all times in their traffic laws, with penalties for not holding the wheel or using just one hand. I recommend developing good habits: keep both hands firmly on the wheel. Not only does this avoid fines and penalties, but it also ensures your safety, especially in bad weather when slippery roads demand stronger control.

When I was younger, I often had minor bad habits, like itching to play with my phone or eat while driving, and there were plenty of times I didn’t keep my hands on the steering wheel. Honestly, this kind of behavior can cost you points! Last year, I got pulled over, and the patrol officer told me that letting go of the steering wheel counts as a traffic violation under safe driving rules—minor cases result in points deducted and education, while serious ones get recorded in your file and affect your credibility. Since then, I’ve learned my lesson. The moment I get in the car, I remind myself to keep both hands on the wheel—after all, points aren’t cheap, and with only 12 points on your license, losing them all means having to retake classes and exams. Plus, so many accidents on the road are related to distractions, like rear-end collisions or minor scrapes, all stemming from a moment of laziness. If you want to stay safe and save money, the simplest way is to focus on holding the wheel properly—don’t cut corners. Developing good habits pays off for life.

As a parent of three children, I always teach them safety knowledge in the car. Not holding the steering wheel with both hands will definitely result in penalty points—it's clearly stated in the traffic rules. I've checked the legal documents, and letting go of the steering wheel is considered driver negligence, which could lead to loss of vehicle control. At high speeds, even a small wobble can cause a rollover, so family safety is the top priority. Once, a neighbor was penalized for this and nearly got into an accident, which scared me into strictly enforcing the rule that both hands must stay firmly on the wheel when driving. Developing this habit not only avoids fines but also saves lives—don’t wait for an accident to regret it.

Hey, my buddy learned this the hard way. He's a thrill-seeking guy who once tried taking a selfie with both hands off the wheel on the highway, only to get pulled over by traffic cops—2 points deducted plus a 200-yuan fine. Later, he told me traffic laws classify this as a violation because it increases accident risks, like when hitting potholes or making sudden evasive maneuvers, losing control could easily cause a crash. Since that lesson, he's never done it again, advising everyone to keep both hands firmly on the wheel to avoid financial and physical harm—getting home safe is what really matters.

How Often Should Brake Discs and Brake Pads Be Replaced?

Under normal circumstances, brake discs should be replaced every 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers, front brake pads approximately every 30,000 kilometers, and rear brake pads around every 80,000 kilometers. Relevant information about the braking system is as follows: Introduction to Brake Discs: Simply put, a brake disc is a round disc that rotates as the vehicle moves. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force. When the brakes are applied, it clamps the disc to slow down or stop the vehicle. Brake discs provide effective braking performance and are easier to maintain compared to drum brakes. Introduction to the Braking System: Automobiles rely on the rotation of their wheels to move on the road. But how do they stop when needed? Drivers can't extend their feet to the ground like in cartoons to halt the vehicle. Instead, the car's braking system is used to reduce speed and bring the car to a stop. The braking system generates friction between the brake pads and the wheel drum or disc, converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat during the friction process. Key components of the braking system include the brake disc, brake pads, vacuum booster pump, master brake cylinder, and wheel brake cylinder.

What Type of Transmission Oil is Used for Manual Transmissions?

Currently, the main types of transmission oil used include DEXRON, DEXRON-Ⅱ, and DEXRON-Ⅲ (produced by General Motors); ATF-F type oil (produced by Ford); and domestically developed No. 8 oil (primarily used in various passenger car hydraulic automatic transmission systems) and No. 6 oil (mainly used in the hydraulic torque converters of locomotives and heavy-duty trucks). Below is an introduction to transmission oil: 1. Transmission oil can clean the vehicle's gear-shifting system and also serves functions such as lubrication, heat dissipation, and sealing. It helps reduce wear and prolong the lifespan of the transmission components. 2. Manual transmission oil, also known as gear oil, is categorized into six grades from GL-1 to GL-6. Among these, GL-1 to GL-3 are more suited for heavy-duty applications but have been phased out of the market. Currently, GL-4 and GL-5 are commonly used in household vehicles. It is important to note that transmission oils should not be mixed, and manual transmissions must use manual transmission oil. 3. If the vehicle experiences issues such as difficulty shifting gears, jerky driving, lack of acceleration, or unusual noises from the transmission, the oil should be replaced promptly. 4. Generally, manual transmission oil should be replaced every 3 years or approximately 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers.

What are the symptoms of a faulty manual fuel pump in a diesel vehicle?

The symptoms of a faulty manual fuel pump in a diesel vehicle include: 1. Abnormal fuel supply from the manual fuel pump, and in severe cases, it may fail to deliver fuel; 2. Reduced fuel supply from the manual fuel pump, mainly due to clogged pump filters or blocked fuel lines; 3. Poor air tightness of the manual fuel pump, caused by aging or damaged sealing gaskets at the connections or loose fuel pipe fittings; 4. The manual fuel pump does not operate smoothly. The manual fuel pump in a diesel vehicle consists of the pump body, rear seat, fuel tank, and handle. The pump body is the core of the manual fuel pump, mainly composed of high and low pressure working chambers, check valves, low pressure valves, pressure relief valves, and backflow valves. The handle's main function is to drive the plunger in a reciprocating motion, thereby increasing the pressure of the fuel to generate oil pressure. The check valve controls the pressure of the high-pressure valve, maintaining it at around 1.5MPa.
