A temporary ID can be used for the Subject 3 driving test. A temporary ID holds the same legal validity as a permanent ID and can be used as a formal ID within its 3-month validity period. Therefore, there is no issue with using a temporary ID for the Subject 3 test. Subject 3, which includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. It is commonly referred to as the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test. The full score is 100, with a passing score of 90. A retake is allowed immediately if failed, and if the retake is unsuccessful, a new appointment can be made after 10 days. Subject 3 road driving skills test includes: vehicle preparation, light simulation test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting, lane changing, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. Subject 3 test precautions: Starting: Close the door, fasten the seatbelt, turn on the left signal, shift to 2nd gear, honk three times, check the left rearview mirror, slowly release the clutch while accelerating and releasing the parking brake to start, avoiding rolling back. Going straight through intersections: Speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20, and crossing the yellow line is prohibited. Bus stops: Speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20, and crossing the yellow line is prohibited. Turning right at intersections: Turn on the left signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20, and crossing the line is prohibited. Changing lanes: Turn on the left signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20, and crossing the lane line is prohibited. Overtaking: Turn on the left signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20, and crossing the lane line is prohibited. Turning left at intersections: Turn on the left signal 3 seconds in advance, speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20, and crossing the line is prohibited. Passing school zones: Speed should not exceed 30 or drop below 20, crossing the line is prohibited, and honking is prohibited. Driving straight: Shift to 5th gear when speed exceeds 40, speed should remain above 40, and crossing the line is prohibited. Accelerating: Shift to 5th gear when speed exceeds 40, speed should remain above 40, and crossing the line is prohibited. Making U-turns: Choose an appropriate section, turn on the right signal to move to the far-right lane, stop, turn on the left signal, shift to 2nd gear, perform a two-forward-one-reverse U-turn, avoiding rolling back. Pulling over: Turn on the right signal for 3 seconds before pulling over, the right wheel should not be more than 30 cm from the roadside, engage the parking brake, and shift to neutral. Subject 3 scoring criteria: The following situations result in immediate failure: Not wearing a seatbelt as required; Obstructing or turning off in-vehicle audio/video monitoring devices; Not following the examiner's instructions; Rolling back more than 30 cm when starting; Gear and speed mismatch for an extended period, causing engine RPM to be too high or too low; Failing to shift gears twice in a row while driving; Coasting in neutral while driving; Not following traffic signals, signs, or markings; Not driving at the required speed; Driving over solid center lines or lane edge lines; Driving over lane dividers for more than 15 seconds; Changing two or more lanes consecutively; Parking in no-parking zones like crosswalks or grid lines; Not attending the test at the scheduled time. The following situations result in a 10-point deduction: Rolling back less than 30 cm when starting; Shifting to the wrong gear when starting or driving; Not using or incorrectly using turn signals before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking; Turning the steering wheel less than 3 seconds after activating the turn signal before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking; Stalling the engine once due to improper operation. Vehicle preparation: Failure to walk around the vehicle counterclockwise to inspect the exterior and surroundings results in failure. Starting: The following situations result in immediate failure: Starting with insufficient brake pressure; Starting with the door not fully closed; Starting the engine with the gearshift not in neutral; Starting without releasing the parking brake and failing to correct it promptly. The following situations result in a 10-point deduction: Starting without releasing the parking brake but correcting it promptly; Not releasing the ignition switch promptly after starting the engine. Gear shifting: Failure to shift gears smoothly as instructed results in failure; Mismatch between vehicle speed and gear results in a 10-point deduction. Pulling over: Parking with the vehicle body crossing the right edge line or crosswalk results in failure; Not closing the door after exiting the vehicle results in failure; Parking with the vehicle body more than 30 cm from the right edge line or sidewalk results in a 10-point deduction; Not engaging the parking brake after parking results in a 10-point deduction; Releasing the foot brake before engaging the parking brake results in a 10-point deduction; Not turning off the engine before exiting the vehicle results in a 5-point deduction. Going straight through intersections, turning left or right at intersections: Failure to slow down or stop to observe as required results in failure. Passing crosswalks, school zones, or bus stops: Failure to slow down as required results in failure.

I remember when I was taking my driver's license test, the temporary ID card was completely acceptable for the subject three exam because it is an official document issued by the public security department and serves the purpose of identity verification, legally equivalent to a formal ID card. For example, once I accompanied a friend to the test, and his temporary ID was still within the validity period, so he passed subject three smoothly; there were no obstacles throughout the process. The key is to ensure the temporary ID is still valid, usually for about three months, to avoid any trouble caused by expiration. It's advisable to prepare your documents early and not leave it until the last minute. The test also involves security verification to prevent proxy test-takers, so having complete documents means there's nothing to worry about. The driving test isn't just about skills; having all your documents in order can help you face the exam with more confidence.

I just passed the Subject 3 test using a temporary ID card. At that time, my official ID was still being reissued, so the temporary one became a lifesaver. The test center staff verified my information and directly allowed me to enter for the exam without any issues. This is mainly part of the identity verification process to prevent impersonation. The temporary ID has a photo and name, fully meeting the requirements. However, temporary IDs have an expiration date, so don't wait until it expires to take the test. Additionally, checking that all documents are complete before the exam is essential, including registration materials. Throughout the test, having the documents sorted out allowed me to focus on the practical part with peace of mind.

A temporary ID card can be used for the subject three driving test, as it is legally valid as a substitute for an official document. This is because once issued by the Ministry of Public Security, its authority is recognized, and the examination institution only verifies the authenticity of the identity. This avoids delays in the test caused by the loss of documents. Ensuring that the document is not expired is the key, and other aspects can proceed as usual. Based on identity management regulations, this is a safe and reliable option.

In the Category 3 driving test, a temporary ID card is fully valid. I've seen many students pass successfully with it. Identity verification is a crucial step, and temporary documents can provide the necessary information to prevent impersonation. It's advisable to complete the document formalities a few days in advance to avoid missing the test due to expiration. Make sure to bring all relevant materials for the exam, such as the medical report. Having all documents ready is your pass. Practicing the skills section is more important; resolve document issues early to reduce anxiety.

Does Nissan Burn Engine Oil?

Nissan vehicles do not consume much engine oil. Engine oil specifications: Specifications include two parts: classification and viscosity grade. Engine oil specifications usually indicate viscosity and quality. The viscosity of lubricating oil is mostly identified using SAE grades. Functions of engine oil: Engine oil functions include lubricating pistons and cylinders, assisting in cooling, sealing to prevent leaks, and preventing excessive wear on parts. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear. Engine oil can form a seal between the piston rings and pistons, reducing gas leakage and preventing external contaminants from entering. Precautions: When adding engine oil, the amount should be slightly below the standard mark. Excessive oil can increase the rotational resistance of the crankshaft, reduce the engine's output power, and cause excess oil to enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion, leading to oil burning, blue smoke emission, and increased fuel consumption.

Why Was the BMW 5 Series GT Discontinued?

The reason for discontinuation is low sales. The reasons why the BMW 5 Series GT was discontinued are as follows: BMW: Due to sales considerations, production will cease after two years. When the BMW 5 Series GT was first launched, its excessively high pricing, coupled with a lack of standout features in design and performance, resulted in lackluster sales. With market competition intensifying, maintaining such a high price point for the BMW 5 Series GT indeed makes it difficult to attract consumers. Advantages of the BMW GT: Equipped with electronic stability control, automatic air conditioning, LCD display, one-touch engine start/stop system, etc. In terms of power, the 3 Series GT shares the powertrain with the new 3 Series, featuring 2.0T high/low-power engines and a 3.0T engine. The front bumper has a strong sense of layering, with fog lights composed of three LEDs, and the air intake also exhibits a pronounced layered design.
