If you lost your ID card before the Subject 1 test, you can apply for a temporary ID card. A temporary ID card holds the same validity as a regular ID card. The admission ticket and other required documents will be provided by the driving school, which will distribute them during the exam. Electronic IDs cannot be used for the test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject 1 test can be taken twice. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test will be terminated, and you can only schedule a new test after ten days. The test is computer-based and lasts 45 minutes. Subject 1 test content: Regulations on driving licenses and motor vehicle management; Road traffic conditions and rules; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Road traffic accident handling regulations; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized buses and trucks; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: Candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen. Before entering the examination room, store personal belongings in a locker. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake if you fail. If you skip the retake or fail it, the test is terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers road traffic laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 is the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4." The test duration is 45 minutes.

I've seen this issue many times. For the driving license theory test (Subject 1), identity proof is mandatory, and you can't use it directly if you've lost your ID card. I recommend going to the local police station immediately to apply for a temporary identity certificate, which requires your household registration book or other supporting documents and can be obtained on the spot. Test centers generally accept temporary certificates, but it's best to call ahead to confirm the requirements to avoid wasting a trip on exam day. If time is tight, prioritize replacing your documents. Preparing for Subject 1 can be stressful, and losing important items adds to the chaos, so remember to keep your documents safe and check them three times before the exam. While studying for Subject 1, practice with mock tests to improve your pass rate. In short, handling your documents properly is key—don't let small setbacks affect your bigger goal.

Losing your ID card before the subject one test is really a headache. I almost missed my exam that time without my ID. Quickly went to the police station to get a temporary certificate - just bring your household register copy and photos. The exam entrance checks are very strict, without identification you simply can't enter. You should check your documents one week before the exam, develop good habits. For subject one revision, mobile apps are the most convenient for practice questions, don't let document issues delay your progress. For safety, apply for a formal ID replacement promptly after the exam and keep it at home. Handling such small matters properly keeps your mindset stable.

Solving this issue is simple: if you lose your ID card, apply for a temporary certificate. The local police station can handle it quickly; bring your household registration book or driver's license to assist with the application. Identity verification is mandatory for the Subject 1 exam; otherwise, the system will deny entry. Confirm your documents the day before the exam to prevent unexpected situations. For preparing for Subject 1, practice more with real question banks and memorize the key points. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill—take action promptly without delay.

Toyota Corolla's auto start-stop function can be turned off by pressing the auto start-stop button. The auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as at a red light) and restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again.

What are the precautions for driving at night?

When driving at night, it is essential to pay attention to the road conditions. Below are specific precautions to consider for nighttime driving: 1. Prepare for the trip: Given the characteristics of nighttime driving, drivers must make thorough preparations for safe driving before setting out. First, ensure adequate rest—get proper sleep before the trip to stay alert and energetic. Second, conduct pre-trip inspections and maintenance to eliminate potential hazards and ensure all vehicle components are functioning reliably. 2. At intersections: When encountering a continuously flashing yellow warning signal at an intersection during nighttime driving, reduce speed, stay vigilant, and proceed only after confirming safety. Drivers should yield and avoid rushing through. 3. Slow down in poor road conditions: If encountering road construction signals, reduce speed and proceed cautiously. In hazardous or unclear road conditions, stop to assess the situation before continuing.

Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Bora?

Bora's air conditioning filter is located under the hood, on the left side of the rain tray at the drainage panel. There are four screws in this position. After removing the screws and pulling out the decorative panel, you can see the air conditioning filter. Specific location: in front of the co-pilot's windshield, under the wiper. Related knowledge about air conditioning filters: 1. Without the air filter, once these particles enter the compartment, not only will the car's air conditioning be polluted and the cooling system's performance reduced, but also the human body will inhale dust and harmful gases, leading to allergic reactions, lung damage, irritation from ozone, and the influence of odors, all of which affect driving safety. 2. High-quality air filters can absorb fine particles, reduce respiratory pain, lessen irritation for allergy sufferers, make driving more comfortable, and protect the air conditioning cooling system.

What is the most fuel-efficient RPM for a car engine?

Engine speed between 2000 RPM and 3000 RPM is the most fuel-efficient. The following are the specific requirements for the most fuel-efficient car engine: 1. RPM requirements: Engine speed between 2000 RPM and 3000 RPM is the most fuel-efficient. 2. Speed requirements: The speed of the car should be determined by the gear. Driving in fourth gear at 60 to 70 kilometers per hour is the most fuel-efficient, and driving in fifth gear at 80 to 90 kilometers per hour is the most fuel-efficient. 3. Road requirements: When the road is clear, try to choose the highest gear and maintain 3000 RPM. The vehicle's power performance can be improved, and the fuel consumption will be more ideal. The most fuel-efficient driving condition is to maintain the optimal speed and drive in a straight line at a constant speed.
