Beginners cannot directly apply for a B1 license. The requirements for upgrading to a B1 license are as follows: You must have held a (C1) driver's license for more than three years, be between the ages of 21 and 50, and have no record of a full score (12 points) in the current scoring cycle (this year) and the most recent scoring cycle (last year) before applying. You can then apply for the upgrade at the vehicle management office in your registered residence. More details are as follows: 1. According to regulations, the application for upgrading to a B1 license can only be processed at the vehicle management office in the driver's registered residence, not at a temporary residence. 2. After passing the tests for Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, you will obtain a driver's license with a B1 driving record.

How to Correct the Direction When Reversing into a Parking Space Too Early?

To correct the direction when reversing into a parking space too early, observe the position of the car body relative to the boundary lines through the left and right rearview mirrors. When the car body is about to become parallel, straighten the steering wheel. Here is some related information about reversing into a parking space: 1. Overview: Reversing into a parking space has been a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license since 2013. It assesses the driver's ability to operate the vehicle in a confined space. Reversing into a parking space is one of the assessment points in the driver's test, which involves correctly maneuvering the vehicle into the parking space from both sides while in motion. There is a time limit for this test during the examination. 2. Methods: There are three most common types of reversing into a parking space. The first is the "non"-shaped reversing into a parking space, commonly seen in large shopping malls. The second is the "one"-shaped reversing into a parking space by the roadside, also known as parallel parking. The third is the less common diagonal reversing into a parking space. About 70% of driving students find parallel parking more challenging.

How long after applying PPF can it be exposed to rain?

After applying paint protection film (PPF), it should not be exposed to rain for at least 3 days to ensure the adhesive sets properly. Here are potential consequences if exposed to rain within three days: 1. The adhesive's bonding effectiveness may be compromised due to rain exposure. 2. The edges of the PPF may start peeling. 3. Residual air bubbles trapped under the film could affect its aesthetic appearance. PPF has the following characteristics: 1. Excellent elasticity and superior tensile strength, allowing ideal conformity on any curved surface. 2. Anti-yellowing properties lasting over 3 years, and anti-aging properties exceeding 5 years. 3. Crystal-clear transparency that blends seamlessly with original paint, preserving the vehicle's color while enhancing gloss by 5%-20%. 4. Resistance to petroleum, grease, weak alkalis, gravel, acid rain, and other paint-damaging elements. 5. Exceptional flexibility and memory properties that protect against minor scratches and abrasions. 6. Strong UV resistance that prevents long-term paint damage and maintains factory paint gloss. 7. High-quality adhesive that prevents edge lifting and cracking, featuring excellent pressure-sensitive characteristics.

Is driving at 120 km/h in the far-right lane of the highway considered speeding?

Driving at 120 km/h in the far-right lane of the highway is not considered speeding for small vehicles; however, for large buses and freight vehicles, it constitutes speeding. Below are the specific details regarding road speed limits: 1. Penalty regulations: Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% results in a warning without fines or penalty points; exceeding by 10%—20% incurs a fine and 3 penalty points; exceeding by 20%—50% incurs a fine and 6 penalty points; exceeding by more than 50% results in a fine and 12 penalty points. 2. Formula for calculating the speeding percentage: (Speed/Limit Speed - 1) * 100, which calculates the speeding percentage. For example, if the speed limit is 70 km/h and the vehicle speed is 80 km/h, divide 80 by 70, subtract 1, and multiply by 100 to get 14.28, meaning 14% over the limit. If the speed limit is 60 km/h and the vehicle speed is 70 km/h, then 70 divided by 60, minus 1 multiplied by 100, results in 16% over the limit.

Detail two: Micro cars have a wheelbase of 2-2.3m and a length of less than 4m. Small cars have a wheelbase of 2.3-2.5m and a length of 4-4.3m. Compact cars have a wheelbase of 2.5-2.7m and a length of 4.2-4.6m. Mid-size cars have a wheelbase of 2.7-2.85m and a length of 4.3-5m. Full-size cars have a wheelbase of 2.85-3m and a length of more than 5m. Large cars have a wheelbase of 2-2.3m and a length of more than 5.2m.

What is the brake-light warning light?

brake-light is the brake warning light. Under normal circumstances, the brake warning light remains off. If it illuminates, it indicates that the brake system is in operation, typically activating when the handbrake is engaged or the brake pedal is pressed, and it will automatically turn off after braking is completed. If the brake indicator light stays on continuously, it signifies a fault in the brake system. Reasons for the brake indicator light staying on: 1. Handbrake not released: If the handbrake is not fully or partially released, it will cause the brake indicator light to illuminate, reminding the driver to release the handbrake before starting the vehicle. 2. Insufficient brake fluid: Low brake fluid levels can affect the car's braking performance and driving safety. 3. Leakage in the brake master cylinder or brake lines: If brake fluid has been recently topped up but the car still shows insufficient brake fluid, check for leaks in the brake master cylinder and lines. 4. Air in the brake system: If you feel weak braking or insufficient braking force when pressing the brake pedal, it indicates air in the brake system, and you should inspect the vacuum booster pump for leaks. 5. Worn brake pads: Severely worn brake pads can reduce braking performance and may even cause the car to lose braking function entirely.
