There are people who fail the automatic transmission test. Introduction to the automatic transmission test: Compared to manual transmission, automatic transmission is simpler in operation. Automatic transmission vehicles use an automatic gearbox without a clutch pedal, eliminating the need to select the appropriate gear based on speed while driving. It also avoids the operation of coordinating the accelerator and clutch, allowing drivers to focus on observing and handling changing road conditions, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents. Precautions for the automatic transmission test: Before the lighting test after the vehicle inspection, check if the lights are reset, if the gear and handbrake are in the correct positions. When preparing to start, turn on the turn signal and honk the horn, check the rearview mirror, and turn around to look back. Failing to perform these steps properly before starting can result in an immediate failure.

Let me tell you, some people actually fail the automatic transmission driving test. Although driving an automatic is easier without worrying about gear shifting, passing the test isn’t just about driving well. The exam covers many aspects, like parking, reversing into a garage, and hill starts in the second subject. If you accidentally run over the line or roll back beyond the specified distance, you’ll fail immediately. The third subject, the road test, is even stricter, requiring full compliance with traffic rules—failing to yield to pedestrians or crossing lanes improperly are major mistakes. My friend failed last time because he didn’t check the rearview mirror properly while reversing and crossed the line—it was really frustrating. The examiner evaluates overall driving skills; simple operations won’t cut it if you overlook details. I recommend practicing in empty lots beforehand to get comfortable and familiarize yourself with the test route to avoid surprises.

Why Are BMW Cars Prone to Flooding?

Due to the low ground clearance of BMW vehicles, they are highly susceptible to flooding. Below is more information about vehicle wading: 1. Introduction: Vehicle wading, as the name suggests, refers to driving through low-lying, waterlogged roads. This typically occurs during rainy weather in low-lying areas with poor drainage systems. 2. Precautions: Before wading, observe the road conditions carefully; maintain steady power while in water; after wading, inspect the electrical systems. 3. Do not restart the engine after stalling: It is strictly prohibited to restart the engine immediately after stalling in water. Although the engine may start normally, water may have already entered the engine cylinders through the exhaust pipe. Restarting will cause further water ingress, significantly reducing the engine's lifespan even with regular maintenance.

Do I Need to Install an Additional Dash Cam If My Car Comes with One Built-in?

If your car comes with a built-in dash cam, there is no need to install an additional one. However, if the built-in dash cam's performance is unsatisfactory, you can install an extra one later. Additional information is as follows: A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other relevant information during vehicle travel. After installation, it can record the entire driving process, including video and audio, providing evidence for determining liability in traffic accidents. Dash cams are mainly divided into two categories: portable dash cams and aftermarket in-dash DVD-integrated dash cams. Portable dash cams can be further categorized into rearview mirror dash cams and data dash cams, which are characterized by good concealment, easy installation, detachability, low cost, and simple operation. On the other hand, aftermarket in-dash DVD-integrated dash cams are usually vehicle-specific and can be divided into front-installed and rear-installed types. Installing this type of dash cam is more costly and challenging, but it helps maintain the aesthetics of the car's interior.

Is There Any Risk in Taking Photos of the Vehicle Green Book?

There is basically no risk if someone takes a photo of your vehicle's green book, as the green book is generally only used for vehicle transfer and changing the vehicle's registered license plate. Moreover, these procedures require the vehicle owner to be present in person and provide the original ID card of the owner. 1. Loan Mortgage: For loan mortgages and similar transactions, in addition to the owner's personal information, the vehicle must either be pledged to the lending institution or have a GPS installed. 2. Replacing the Green Book: If the green book is lost, it is advisable to promptly go to the vehicle management office for a replacement. Generally, you only need to bring the original ID card of the owner and the vehicle's driving license to apply for a replacement. Remember, the owner must be present in person for the replacement, and the corresponding vehicle must be brought for inspection.

What Parts Does the Body Computer Control?

The body computer functions like the human brain, essentially managing all electronic-related information within the vehicle. Additional details are as follows: Simple principle of body computer operation: The operation of a car engine is controlled by the car computer (i.e., ECU). The ECU regulates the engine's air intake, fuel injection, ignition timing, etc., thereby determining the engine's operational efficiency, power, torque, and more. The engine operates under various conditions such as speed, gear, load, temperature, etc., corresponding to specific air intake, fuel injection, and ignition timing data. For instance, systems like the anti-lock braking system, 4-wheel drive system, electronically controlled automatic transmission, active suspension system, airbag system, and multi-directional adjustable electric seats are each equipped with their own ECUs. With the increasing electrification and automation of automobiles, the number of ECUs will continue to rise, and the circuitry will become more complex. To simplify the circuit and reduce costs, the communication of information between multiple ECUs in a vehicle employs a technology known as multiplex communication network, integrating all the vehicle's ECUs into a network system, which is the CAN data bus.

Can a car with scratches pass the annual inspection?

Scratches on the car body do not affect the inspection. Relevant regulations for annual inspection: According to the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations," the items for appearance inspection include: all window glass should be intact without mirror-reflective sunshade film; various lights and instruments should be complete and effective; brakes and handbrakes should perform well; equipped with effective fire extinguishers and reflective warning signs; tire treads on the same axle should be consistent; no detachable or flip-up license plate frames are used. Impact on inspection: As long as safety facilities like the triangular warning sign and fire extinguisher are complete, and the car's appearance and color match the photo on the vehicle registration certificate, there should be no issue. Even if the car body is repainted to cover scratches, resulting in color differences on the surface, it will not affect the car inspection, unless the car was originally white and is repainted black.
