You can take the test one year later, but it must be completed within three years. Here is relevant information about subject 4: 1. Test content: The subject 4 test mainly includes safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident disposal knowledge. 2. Passing score: The test consists of 50 questions in the form of case studies, pictures, animations, etc., including true/false questions, single-choice questions, and multiple-choice questions. The full score is 100, with 90 required to pass.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I remember that after passing the third road test (Subject 3), I delayed taking the fourth written test (Subject 4) for a whole year due to business trips, and it was completely fine. The key is to complete all subjects within the three-year validity period after passing Subject 1. If you exceed this deadline, you'll have to retake Subject 1, which would be troublesome—wasting both time and money. I recommend checking the remaining time promptly on the Traffic Management 12123 App instead of relying solely on memory. Reviewing for Subject 4 is also crucial, as it covers safe driving knowledge, and completing it early helps reinforce those skills. My friend procrastinated so long that he almost missed the deadline and had to rush at the last minute—now he always reminds me to pay attention to these details while driving. As long as it's within the timeframe, a one-year gap is no problem at all.

During teaching, I've seen many students delay taking the Subject 4 test for a year after passing Subject 3 due to busy work schedules or life changes. This is completely fine as long as it's completed within the three-year validity period starting from passing Subject 1. Don't believe rumors about expiration due to long intervals – those are false. However, I often advise students not to wait until the last minute. It's best to take Subject 4 within one or two months after Subject 3, as the road operation knowledge is still fresh, making review more efficient. If the deadline is missed, not only will you need to retake Subject 1, but also pay additional fees, delaying license acquisition. Remember to regularly check the app progress. Subject 4 content is useful for daily driving – proper preparation ensures an easy pass.

Just finished the driving test, and I also wondered if it's okay to have a long gap between the third and fourth subjects. Asked the coach, he said a one-year interval is fine, as long as it's within the three-year limit after the first subject. I think this point is crucial; it's best to set a reminder in the app to avoid forgetting the deadline. If it expires, retaking the first subject would be too exhausting. Don't panic during revision; the theory in the fourth subject, like traffic rules and safety awareness, seems quite practical now. My friend took it after a 7-month gap and passed in one go. He said as long as you're familiar with the knowledge points, there's nothing to fear. As a beginner, I suggest reviewing earlier after passing the third subject to make it easier.

As a parent who often picks up and drops off children, I also experienced the interval between the third and fourth driving test subjects. At that time, due to being busy with household chores, I delayed taking the fourth subject for a year, which was not a problem at all, but it must be ensured that it is within the three-year validity period after completing the first subject. I recommend not waiting until the deadline is near; regularly check the countdown on the app to avoid any mishaps. The content of the fourth subject involves child safety and daily car usage, making the review quite practical. Some neighbors delayed too long and forgot to check, resulting in big troubles. As long as it's within the time limit, preparing with a one-year interval is fine.

Is It Normal for a New Car to Have Strange Noises Inside?

It is not normal for a new car to have strange noises inside; new cars generally do not produce unexplained noises. Here are a few reasons why a new car might have strange noises: 1. Improper operation by the owner: Such as inaccurate gear shifting, half-engaged gears, or pressing the accelerator with the handbrake engaged, etc., which can cause loud strange noises while driving the new car. 2. The engine oil dipstick not being tightened after use: The coolant cap not being properly closed after adding coolant can also cause strange noises in the new car. 3. Fuel system malfunction: The new car has been parked for a long time after purchase, some even in an open environment. Long-term outdoor parking can allow water molecules to seep into the fuel system, causing malfunctions.

How to Deal with Engine Shaking?

Reasons and solutions for engine shaking are as follows: 1. Dirty air filter: The air filter is designed to protect the engine and reduce wear, usually requiring replacement around 10,000 kilometers. If not replaced in time, insufficient air intake can cause low idle speed, leading to engine shaking. Simply replacing the filter can solve the problem. 2. High-voltage line break: A high-voltage line break refers to the breakage of the conductor core inside the high-voltage line, causing engine shaking. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance and replace the one with significantly higher resistance. 3. Spark plug lifespan: Spark plugs have a lifespan, and after 30,000-40,000 kilometers, their ignition efficiency significantly decreases, affecting ignition. This is the most common issue, and replacing all spark plugs can resolve it.

What is the actual 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Changan Uni-T?

According to official data, the Audi A6 comes with two engine displacements: 3.0T and 2.0T. The 3.0T model accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds, while the 2.0T model takes between 7.5 and 8.3 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time include: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents the strength of the engine. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The Audi R8 has a maximum torque of 570 Nm and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.1 seconds. The Audi A6 3.0T has a torque of 500 Nm and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a medium for power delivery, inevitably involving power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Audi A6 is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The Audi R8 has a power-to-weight ratio of 373 Hp/T and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.1 seconds. The Audi A6 has a power-to-weight ratio of 171 Hp/T and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds.
