Temporary ID can be used for the Subject 2 driving test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," first-time applicants for a driver's license must submit their identity proof. Although a temporary ID is valid for only three months, it still serves as the applicant's identity proof and holds the same legal validity as a permanent ID. The Subject 2 test usually requires magnetic stripe scanning, but a temporary driver's license cannot be scanned. If using a temporary ID for the Subject 2 test, you need to inform the test center staff in advance, and they will arrange the test for you. Generally, candidates using temporary IDs are scheduled to take the test last. If you lose your ID on the test day, you can apply for a temporary ID at the household registration office before the test. Subject 2: For small vehicles (C1), the test includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves). In some regions, there is a sixth item: highway toll card collection. For C2 vehicles, the test includes four mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, right-angle turns, and curve driving (S-curves). For large vehicles (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2), the test includes: pole test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing through a width-restricted gate, passing through continuous obstacles, driving on undulating roads, narrow-road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

When I took the Subject 2 driving test, I lost my ID card, so I used a temporary ID to go to the test center. The whole process went smoothly—the staff checked it and let me take the test directly. This shows that a temporary ID is a valid form of identification, as long as it’s officially issued by the police. Bringing it for identity verification is no problem. Identity verification is crucial during the driving test, and temporary documents hold the same legal validity as permanent ones. However, it’s advisable to apply for it one or two weeks in advance to avoid last-minute issues delaying your test. Additionally, communicate with your driving school before the Subject 2 test to confirm the test center accepts it, as requirements may vary slightly by location. Keeping a screenshot of your ID on your phone as a backup is also a good idea. In short, don’t stress—this document works, so just focus on driving.

A temporary ID card is fully acceptable for taking the driving test (Subject 2). It's a legally issued document by public security authorities, equivalent to a regular ID card in functionality. For driving tests, identity verification is crucial, and this document proves your eligibility. I recommend opting for expedited service when applying, ensuring the photo is clear and all information is complete. Before the test, contact the test center to confirm their specific requirements, as some locations might require additional signatures. Bring this document along with other necessary materials like your registration form for added security. In case of any issues, your instructor or staff will assist you—don't let minor matters affect your performance. The key is early preparation; a temporary ID is no obstacle.

Using a temporary ID for the Subject 2 driving test is usually acceptable. My friend has done it before—just bring it along. This document is officially recognized and can verify your identity. The test center accepts it for verification, but it's advisable to confirm the specific procedures beforehand to avoid last-minute issues. Don’t delay handling such matters; after obtaining the temporary ID, make an extra copy as a backup. Keep the document neat during the test and avoid folding or damaging it. Remember, as long as your identity is genuine, it won’t affect your driving performance—focus more on honing your skills.

How much air pressure should be in an 825r16 tire?

825r16 tires should be inflated to around 2.5 bar. Tires are the only part of a vehicle that comes into contact with the ground, making them crucial for driving stability and safety. As rubber products, tires will age over time. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage is low during that period. The sidewall of a tire contains important information, including the recommended tire pressure, which often varies by season. In summer, the tire pressure can be slightly reduced. If carrying a heavy load or many passengers, the tire pressure can be increased. Tire pressure should not be too high or too low. If the pressure is too low, the tire may develop wave-like deformations at high speeds, increasing the risk of a blowout. If the pressure is too high, it reduces the contact area between the tire and the road, decreasing traction and affecting the vehicle's stability and handling.

What does the plus and minus in D gear mean for cars?

Car D gear plus and minus refers to the manual mode in an automatic transmission. The manual mode is an electronically controlled device added to the automatic transmission, allowing the transmission to follow the operator's commands for upshifting and downshifting. When the gear lever is in the D position, pushing it upward will upshift the transmission by one gear, while pushing it downward will downshift by one gear. Explanation of automatic transmission gear positions: 1. P stands for Parking gear, used when the car is parked and not in use, with the wheels mechanically locked to prevent rolling; 2. R stands for Reverse gear, used when reversing; 3. N stands for Neutral gear, used for temporary parking; 4. D stands for Drive gear, also known as the driving gear, used when moving forward.

What causes the lack of heat in the Vios' heating system?

The reasons for the lack of heat in the Vios' heating system: 1. Issues with the engine cooling system; 2. Malfunctioning heating control mechanism. During repairs, it is necessary to first determine which aspect is causing the problem before proceeding with the corresponding repairs. You can check the temperature of the two inlet pipes of the heating radiator. If both pipes are sufficiently hot, it indicates a problem with the air flow control mechanism; if both pipes are cold or one is hot and the other is cold, it indicates an issue with the cooling system. The Vios is a family-oriented entry-level model specifically designed and developed by Toyota for the Asian market. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4410mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1490mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2550mm.

What does the max button on a car mean?

The max button on a car is generally the strong cooling button for the air conditioning. When the max button is pressed, the air conditioning will enter the maximum cooling mode, which can quickly lower the temperature inside the car. The max on the engine oil dipstick indicates the highest fluid level. When adding engine oil, do not let the fluid level exceed the max mark. The AC button in the car is the switch for the car air conditioning cooling. When the weather is hot and you need to turn on the air conditioning to cool down, press the AC button. The indicator light on the button will illuminate, and the car air conditioning compressor will start working, blowing cold air from the vents to lower the temperature inside the car. When cooling is needed, press the AC button and adjust the temperature selection switch to the blue section, then turn on the fan switch. Only then will cold air blow out.
