You can practice driving without passing the subject one test. Here is some information about practicing driving without passing the subject one test: 1. Training: Driving practice is conducted by students with a training card at designated training grounds. The small car field test consists of "5 items for both training and testing," which are reversing into a garage, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. Training time can be arranged or negotiated with the driving school. 2. Subject One: The total time for the subject one test is 45 minutes. The test paper consists of 100 questions, including true/false questions and single-choice questions, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90.

When I first started learning to drive, I was also eager to get behind the wheel, but the instructor said it's not allowed until passing Subject 1. Regulations clearly state that the theoretical exam must be passed before practical training begins, mainly to ensure students grasp basic traffic rules and safety knowledge. Watching others practice in the driving school made me itch to try, but even with an instructor in the passenger seat, it's non-compliant. Actually, preparing for Subject 1 is quite fast—just study the question bank for a few days to pass. It's recommended to focus on passing the theory test first, so you can practice driving more confidently later while also protecting your driving school records.

How Many Questions Are There in the Driving Test Subject 4?

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," Subject 4 consists of a total of 50 questions, each worth 2 points, totaling 100 points. Questions 1-10 are true/false questions; questions 11-40 are single-choice questions; and questions 41-50 are multiple-choice questions. The test includes various question types such as image analysis, animated case studies, and text descriptions. The scope of Subject 4 covers driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions; identification of common traffic signs, markings, and hand signals; traffic accident rescue and hazardous material handling knowledge; comprehensive judgment of violations and case analysis; emergency avoidance knowledge; safe driving knowledge; and driving ethics and civilized driving knowledge. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 1 and Subject 4. If you fail the first attempt on the same day, you can retake the test immediately. If you still fail, you need to reschedule the test, and no additional fees are required for retakes. However, it is important to note that the validity period of the driving skills test permit is three years. If the applicant does not complete the test within the validity period, the results of any passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Subject 4 is the colloquial name for the safety and civilization driving knowledge test under Subject 3 and is not a separate subject. Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no Subject 4. The safety and civilization driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3. Subject 4 Test Notes: Test Duration: The test lasts 45 minutes. If you make mistakes totaling 10 points (5 questions) during the test, the session will be terminated. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of driving license being tested, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank, with each question worth 2 points. Question Types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions, with question formats such as animated questions, image-based questions, situational recognition questions, and text-based questions. Retake Notes: If you fail Subject 4, you only need to retake Subject 4. The driving school will schedule the retake, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. No additional fees are required for retakes. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 divided into two parts. Subject 1 refers to the examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; and Subject 3 refers to the road driving skills and safety and civilization driving knowledge test.

What are the reasons for the engine icon on the dashboard to light up?

The reasons for the engine icon on the dashboard to light up include sensor issues, maintenance problems, and fuel quality issues. Sensor Issues: The sensors mentioned here include those for coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, oxygen sensors, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or experience signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will then trigger the engine fault light. Maintenance Problems: Poor engine maintenance is the most common cause of the engine fault light turning on. Vehicles have specific maintenance cycles, and if the driver does not adhere to these cycles, combined with poor driving habits, it will increase the burden on the engine's operation, eventually leading to the fault light as a warning. Fuel Quality Issues: The fuel quality referred to here includes both fuel and engine oil. The fuel added to a car usually has a specific grade, and engine oil can be either semi-synthetic or fully synthetic. Manufacturers generally recommend which grade of fuel and which type of engine oil the driver should use. If the driver does not follow these recommendations, it can lead to engine wear over time.

How to Drive a Semi-Automatic Transmission Vehicle?

Manual transmission requires gear shifting through the clutch, while automatic transmission eliminates the need for a clutch and relies on computer-controlled shifting. Semi-automatic transmission is also computer-controlled, but when switched to manual mode, it simply involves pushing up to shift up and pushing down to shift down without using the clutch. Essentially, it converts the computer-controlled gear shifting of an automatic transmission to manual operation while retaining the underlying automatic transmission principles. The semi-automatic transmission is designed to enhance the fuel efficiency and handling of automatic transmissions, returning the control of shift timing from the computer back to the driver. Fuel-saving techniques for semi-automatic vehicles include: Pay attention to daily vehicle maintenance. Proper vehicle upkeep is crucial; accelerated aging can increase fuel consumption. Minimize unnecessary energy consumption. During acceleration, using the D (Drive) mode throughout is the most fuel-efficient. During deceleration, manually downshifting to maintain engine speed around 2000 RPM is optimal for fuel efficiency, especially when going downhill. Using manual mode to control speed saves much more energy than relying on brakes. Keeping the engine speed below 2500 RPM and maintaining a steady speed is more fuel-efficient. For private vehicles, a speed range of 70-90 km/h is generally the most economical.

Is there any harm in not filling up the gas tank completely?

There is no harm in not filling up the gas tank completely; in fact, filling it up can be detrimental and may cause the following hazards: Fuel leakage leading to waste and safety risks: Gasoline storage at gas stations is very strict, especially during hot summers, so gasoline is stored underground where temperatures are kept very low. If a car's gas tank is filled to the brim, gasoline may overflow from the vent hole, which not only wastes fuel but also poses a fire hazard if the spilled gasoline comes into contact with an open flame. Gasoline evaporation causing unpleasant odors and carcinogenic effects: The activated carbon canister is usually located near the fresh air intake for the exterior circulation. When the tank is overfilled, the carbon canister becomes saturated, and excessive pressure may cause it to release pressure and exhaust, allowing air containing gasoline components to enter the cabin, affecting the health and safety of the driver and passengers. Damage to the carbon canister: The carbon canister is typically installed between the fuel tank and the engine. Since gasoline is a volatile liquid, the fuel tank often contains vapors at room temperature. The fuel evaporation emission control system is designed to direct these vapors into the combustion process and prevent them from evaporating into the atmosphere. The activated carbon canister storage device plays a crucial role in this process. If the tank is overfilled, liquid gasoline instead of gasoline vapor enters the carbon canister, which can cause damage to it.
