A truck with dual tires cannot continue driving if one is damaged. Here are some precautions for replacing the tire: 1. Choose the appropriate tire: The specifications of the new tire must match the previous one and be identical to the other tire on the same axle, such as speed rating, load index, tread pattern, brand, size, etc., to ensure safe driving. 2. Replace the valve stem: When replacing the tire, the aging cycle of the new tire and the valve stem may differ. The valve stem might develop issues within the lifespan of the new tire, so it's best to replace the valve stem simultaneously when changing the tire. 3. Pay attention to installation direction and inflation: If using the original factory tire, follow the manufacturer's installation instructions. For non-original tires, the side with the production date usually faces outward. If it's a directional tire, align the arrow on the tire with the direction of vehicle movement. During inflation, you can fill the tire to the maximum allowed pressure and then reduce it to the manufacturer's recommended standard pressure.

I've seen plenty of things on the road. When a truck loses one of its dual tires, it might still limp along slowly for a short distance to a safe spot, but I really don't recommend it. Why? Because dual tires are designed to share the load. After losing one, the remaining tire has to bear all the pressure, which accelerates wear and overheating, and can even lead to a blowout within minutes. The steering wheel can also pull to one side, making it especially dangerous at high speeds—if you lose control and roll over, it's a disaster. I know a friend who insisted on driving five kilometers, only to ruin the other tire, costing over a thousand to replace. It would have been cheaper and easier to just change the spare on the spot. So remember: if you notice a flat, pull over immediately, turn on your hazard lights, and find a repair shop. Don't risk it for speed. Safety always comes first.

How Much Engine Oil Should Be Added for Car Maintenance?

For regular car maintenance, approximately 4 liters of engine oil should be added. The filling amount should be between the upper and lower marks on the oil dipstick. Engine oil is the lubricant used by the engine, composed of base oil and additives. With a density of about 0.91kg×10 cubic meters, it serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber, earning it the reputation as the 'blood' of a car. Here is an introduction to car maintenance: 1. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. 2. Car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance of the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. 3. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers to prevent failures, and slow down the deterioration process to extend the service life.

What are the techniques for entering a right curve in Subject 2?

Subject 2 curve driving test is relatively simple, which involves safely driving the vehicle out along the designated "S"-shaped road. Here are the detailed steps: 1. Pay attention to the front of the car: When entering the S-curve, pay attention to the position of the front of the car, try to keep the outer front wheel of the vehicle close to the right edge of the curve, and drive in 1st gear with half-clutch. Do not stop during the process. During the process, you should also observe the left and right rearview mirrors to keep the vehicle driving along the S-road. 2. Turning left: Drive the vehicle close to the right side. When the left front corner coincides with the right edge line, turn the steering wheel one circle to the left, and make slight adjustments to keep the left front corner and the right edge line basically aligned. Drive along the S-road to turn left, and the vehicle will not press or cross the line. After passing the left curve, prepare to turn right.

Should you release the handbrake or shift to first gear first when starting in Subject 2?

Shift to first gear before releasing the handbrake. Below is a detailed introduction about the Subject 2 test: 1. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test. The test items for cars C1 and C2 include five mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-curves). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection. 2. Teaching objectives: Master the basic driving operation essentials and possess the fundamental ability to control the vehicle; proficiently grasp the basic methods of field and road driving within the test area, and have the ability to reasonably use vehicle control components and correctly control the vehicle's spatial position, accurately controlling the vehicle's driving position, speed, and route.

What is the mnemonic rhyme for the parking skills in Subject 2?

During driving practice, there are some mnemonic rhymes to help you remember. Here are the details: 1. Reverse parking: First reverse to the right, turn the wheel fully right and wait to enter the parking space; straighten the wheel after entering and make slight adjustments, half a turn is enough; turn fully left when exiting, keep it steady and shift to reverse gear; return the same way to straighten into the parking space, and exit to the right to complete. 2. Parallel parking: Stop parallel and shift to reverse gear, turn the wheel fully right at the right point; straighten the wheel when you see the corner of the parking space, after the rear wheel enters the space in the left mirror; turn fully left until parallel, turn on the signal light and exit while straightening the wheel. 3. Curve driving: Be careful when driving on curves, adjust frequently with about one turn of the wheel; turn the wheel slightly late to ensure the rear of the car does not cross the line.

Does Canceling the Subject 2 Test Twice Have Any Impact?

No impact, but there are only five opportunities in total. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. Cancellation of scheduled appointments: There are a total of five scheduled exams for Subject 2 and Subject 3. If the appointment is successfully scheduled and you are notified to take the exam, canceling once will deduct one scheduled exam opportunity. However, the latter (internet method) can only be canceled three times. Exceeding three times requires canceling at the DMV window. 2. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. The C1/C2 test items include five mandatory tests: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed card collection.

Techniques for Curve Driving Points in Subject 2

There are many techniques for curve driving, and the following is a detailed introduction: 1. Pay attention to the position of the front of the car: When entering the S-curve entrance, pay attention to the position of the front of the car and try to drive in the middle of the road. When the car is about to enter, make sure the speed is not too fast; it's best to maintain a constant speed and advance in 1st gear with semi-linked clutch. When entering the curve, try to drive close to the right side of the curve, as the first turn is to the left, and remember to observe the left and right rearview mirrors. 2. Steering: When the left corner of the car coincides with the right sideline, immediately turn left one full circle, and during driving, always observe the left corner of the car pressing against the sideline to ensure the car does not cross or go out of the line. 3. Straighten the steering wheel: When the left corner of the car touches the left line of the second curve, straighten the steering wheel and then slowly move forward for a while.
