After switching from manual to automatic transmission in the driver's license test, the five chances will not be restored. Even if you switch from manual to automatic transmission for learning and testing, the original test attempts will still be accumulated. Regulations for the driver's license test: Within the validity period of the driving skill permit, the number of scheduled attempts for Subject 2 (Parking) and Subject 3 (Road Driving Skills) must not exceed five each. If the fifth scheduled test is still failed, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated, and the candidate must restart from Subject 1. The duration of the driver's license test is calculated from the date of passing Subject 1, with a maximum period of three years. Notes for obtaining an automatic transmission license: When reversing into a parking space, do not align directly with the front arrow; you can slightly lean to the left. Maintain a speed of around 25 to 30 km/h, not too fast. During driving, do not take your eyes off the direction of travel, and do not remove both hands from the steering wheel. When starting, turning left or right, making a U-turn, changing lanes, or overtaking, use the turn signal for more than 3 seconds before moving the steering wheel. Do not cross solid lines, including those on both sides of bridges or near pedestrian crossings. Ensure the car door is properly closed, adjust the seat to the highest and most forward position, adjust the side mirrors, fasten the seatbelt, press the brake, start the engine by turning the key firmly to the right and releasing it immediately.

How to Operate a Manual Transmission Car When Turning?

For normal household driving, slow down before the turn by gradually braking with the gear engaged. Reduce to an appropriate speed before entering the turn and follow the outside-inside-outside turning line. After passing the apex of the turn, shift to the appropriate gear to accelerate out of the turn. According to the laws of physics, slowing down during a turn increases tire load, so it is recommended to reduce speed before the turn. Since shifting gears during a turn can be difficult, it is advisable to downshift before the turn. For performance driving. The laws of physics remain the same, but the main difference from the above is the need to downshift gradually before the turn due to higher RPM and faster speed. Utilize engine braking effectively, and if the RPM is high, downshift while blipping the throttle—this technique is commonly known as heel-and-toe. The principle for turning is that the more you turn the steering wheel, the slower the speed must be. Similarly, follow the outside-inside-outside principle as in normal driving. The gear you downshift to should be the one you use to accelerate out of the turn. Coast with the gear engaged while slowing down in a straight line toward the apex, then blip the throttle to accelerate after passing the apex while gradually straightening the steering wheel.

What does it mean to turn the key to ACC?

Turning the key to ACC means activating partial electrical power supply to the vehicle. Below are specific details about ACC: 1. Meaning: ACC stands for Adaptive Cruise Control, which is generally applied in higher-end vehicles. 2. Function: Controlled by the vehicle's central control system, ACC is responsible for detecting and recording whether there is a vehicle ahead, automatically maintaining a safe distance from the preceding vehicle, and applying automatic braking in emergency situations. When greater deceleration is required, the ACC control unit will issue audible and visual signals to prompt the driver to take active braking measures.

What are the impacts of leaving car windows open during rain?

When the interior gets wet from rain, it directly affects seats, floor mats, and flooring. If rainwater seeps into seats, carpets, or mats, it can lead to mold growth, posing health risks. It may also cause short circuits in some wiring, affecting vehicle operation. Post-rain treatment: If there's water accumulation on the floor or penetration beneath floor coverings, persistent musty odors after drying indicate the need for professional service. This involves seat removal and thorough cleaning under floor coverings to eliminate odors. After addressing water issues, perform interior disinfection using specialized disinfectants or alcohol to prevent lingering odors. Precautions after rain exposure: As a safety measure, avoid using electronic devices immediately after rain exposure to prevent short circuits. While most automotive electronics have waterproofing, some components may still be vulnerable. After drying, test all electronics and seek repair if malfunctions occur. Insurance coverage: Comprehensive insurance typically covers vehicle damage caused by lightning, storms, or heavy rain during authorized operation. For significant water damage, immediately contact your insurer to discuss claim procedures.
