An electronic ID card cannot be used for the Subject 3 driving test. For all driving test subjects, including Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, a physical ID card is required. During the exam, the original ID card must be submitted and swiped on a computer before the test can proceed. Below is relevant information about the Subject 3 driving test: Introduction: Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test. It is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviated name for the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's examination. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed. Test Content: The road driving skills test generally includes: vehicle preparation, light simulation test, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting operations, lane changing, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crosswalks, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test generally includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and knowledge of post-accident handling procedures.

To be honest, I specifically asked about this when I went to take the driving test (Subject 3). The current exam procedures are quite standardized, and most test centers still require the original physical ID card. Although electronic IDs can be used for hotel check-ins, the driving test system hasn't fully integrated with the electronic ID system yet, which can cause hiccups during machine verification. Last week, my cousin went to the test with just her electronic ID on her phone and ended up being asked to urgently obtain a paper certificate, almost missing her slot. To be safe, it's best to confirm the test center's policy with your driving school in advance. Ideally, prepare both—print a temporary identity proof and also have a photocopy of your physical ID ready. Also, remember to renew your ID card well before it expires, as the scanners at test centers will flag expired documents, which could throw you off during the exam—definitely not worth the stress.

What are the symptoms of a faulty front shock absorber?

The symptoms of a faulty front shock absorber include: 1. Abnormal noises from the shock absorber when driving on bumpy roads; 2. Oil leakage on the exterior of the shock absorber; 3. Excessive body bouncing and instability when driving over uneven surfaces; 4. High temperature on the shock absorber casing after driving. The working principle of a shock absorber: When relative motion occurs between the frame or body and the axle due to vibration, the piston inside the shock absorber moves up and down. The oil inside the shock absorber chamber repeatedly flows from one chamber to another through various orifices. The friction between the orifice walls and the oil, as well as the internal friction among oil molecules, creates a damping force that converts the vehicle's vibrational energy into heat energy of the oil, which is then absorbed and dissipated into the air by the shock absorber.

How to Replace a Lost Garage Key?

To replace a lost garage key, visit a 4S store. Below are detailed instructions regarding garage keys: 1. Key Replacement Details: Every vehicle comes with a pre-set anti-theft code. The owner only needs to provide the vehicle license and identity information to the 4S store, which can then configure a new key. Additionally, the 4S store can erase the data of the lost key, rendering it invalid and unable to start the vehicle. 2. Precautions: A professional is required to match the new key with the vehicle's anti-theft controller. The new key will only function after this matching process is completed, and the old key will become invalid.

Can You Drive Without Water in the Auxiliary Tank?

The auxiliary tank being empty means you cannot drive. The auxiliary tank is a component of the engine cooling system and plays a role in balancing the pressure of the radiator. The maintenance methods for the auxiliary tank include: 1. Stop and check if the temperature is found to be too high while driving; 2. Immediately stop and inspect if the car's radiator is smoking; 3. Regularly replace the coolant. The reasons for the auxiliary tank running low on water are: 1. There is a leak in the cooling system or a slight issue with the cylinder head gasket; 2. The coolant temperature is too high, causing the system to lack water; 3. The water pump seizes, leading to timing belt damage and causing the piston to hit the valve; 4. The cylinder gasket is compromised, mixing with engine oil or being expelled through the exhaust pipe.

Is it still necessary to attach the car insurance paper to the windshield?

It is no longer necessary to attach the car insurance paper to the windshield. Here is some extended information about motor vehicle insurance: 1. Basic information: Automobile insurance, also known as motor vehicle insurance or car insurance, refers to a type of commercial insurance that covers liability for personal injury, death, or property damage caused by natural disasters or accidents involving motor vehicles. As a form of property insurance, car insurance has evolved and matured alongside the emergence and widespread use of automobiles. 2. Development trends: In the domestic car insurance market, PICC, Ping An, and CPIC hold the top three market shares. However, with the growth and expansion of specialized car insurance companies such as Tianping Auto Insurance and Zhongcheng Auto Insurance, the market concentration of car insurance has further decreased, leading to increasingly fierce market competition.

What Does a Car Lens Look Like?

Car lenses are round, completely transparent glass bodies. Below is an introduction to car lenses: 1. Light concentration: Because lenses have strong light-concentrating capabilities, they not only illuminate the road brightly but also clearly when used for lighting. Due to minimal light dispersion, their light range is farther and clearer than that of ordinary halogen lamps. This allows drivers to see distant objects in time, avoiding missing intersections or targets. 2. Energy saving: The lifespan of HID bulbs inside the lenses is 8 to 10 times that of ordinary bulbs, eliminating the unnecessary hassle of frequent replacements. Lens xenon lamps do not require any additional power supply system, as genuine HID gas discharge lamps only need a voltage stabilizer to convert 12V voltage into normal voltage, providing stable and continuous power for the xenon bulbs to emit light, thereby achieving energy-saving functionality.
