Each location has different arrangements, generally divided into morning and afternoon sessions. Below is relevant information: Introduction: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. After the implementation of the "Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139 of the People's Republic of China," the Subject 3 examination was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and civilized driving knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called Subject 4. Officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. Test Content: The test consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, images, and animations, with a full score of 100 and a passing mark of 90.

My experience taking the Subject 4 exam last time made me realize it's not available all day. Test centers are generally only open on weekdays during daytime hours, such as from 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday, with limited weekend slots available in some areas. You need to book a specific time slot in advance using the Driving Test 12123 app, just like I chose 2 PM on a Tuesday. During peak periods, you have to grab a spot early. Why isn't it open all day? Mainly due to limited resources—staff work in shifts, and equipment maintenance is conducted only during non-testing hours. There are significant differences between cities; larger cities may offer more time slots, while smaller towns have fewer options. Once your appointment is confirmed, arriving on time at the test center is crucial. Bring your ID and medical examination certificate. The exam covers traffic rules and safety knowledge, with a high pass rate. Practicing with question banks regularly is key. My friend missed his slot and had to wait for the next one, so I recommend planning at least a week ahead.

What are the impacts of installing ambient lighting in a car?

Here are the impacts of installing ambient lighting: Impact on driving safety: Flashing or overly bright ambient lighting inside the car can obstruct the driver's view of the outside and divert their attention, compromising nighttime driving safety. Impact on car battery lifespan: Ambient lighting increases additional power consumption to some extent, affecting the car battery's lifespan. Risk of blowing a fuse: While ambient lighting is convenient for passengers, it offers no benefits to the car itself. If the external power consumption is too high, it may blow the fuse. Ambient lighting is a gimmicky feature: Ambient lighting is only available in some high-end models and lacks practical functionality. Its aesthetic appeal comes at the cost of safety, making it a flashy but impractical feature. Adding this feature alone allows car manufacturers to make more money from consumers, serving merely as a profit-making tactic.

How Often Should a Private Car Undergo Inspection?

Non-commercial passenger vehicles must undergo inspection once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, inspection is required annually; and after 15 years, inspection is required twice a year. According to the definition in RB/T218-2017 "Requirements for Qualification Assessment of Inspection Bodies—Motor Vehicle Inspection Institutions," motor vehicle inspections include three categories: motor vehicle safety technical inspection, motor vehicle emission inspection, and comprehensive vehicle performance inspection. Maintain a Clean Vehicle Body: Before the annual inspection, wash your car to keep the exterior clean. It's best to clean the engine area under the hood as well, ensuring that the inspector can clearly see the engine number and chassis number. Avoid Altering the Vehicle's Appearance: Applying stickers on the windshield can obstruct the driver's view, while large decorative stickers or eye-catching club logos on the car body are considered unauthorized modifications of the vehicle's appearance and will result in a failed inspection.

Does the Transmission Limitation Function Need Repair?

Transmission limitation function requires maintenance. When a fault has already occurred in the transmission, certain operations will be restricted if you continue driving. Automotive transmissions are divided into two types: manual and automatic: Manual transmissions mainly consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations; automatic transmissions (AT) are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system. Main functions of the transmission: Changing the transmission ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variation of the drive wheels, adapting to frequently changing driving conditions, while allowing the engine to operate under favorable conditions (higher power and lower fuel consumption); enabling the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the same engine rotation direction; using neutral gear to interrupt power transmission, allowing the engine to start, shift gears, and facilitating gear changes or power output; the transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism, and a power take-off can be added when necessary.

Is It Effective to Install a Fan on the Car Condenser?

Installing a fan on the car condenser can improve heat dissipation. Below is additional information: Car Condenser: The car condenser is not the radiator; they are two different components. The condenser is part of the car's air conditioning system. The radiator, usually referred to as the cooling system, reduces the internal operating temperature of the engine through continuous circulation of coolant. Function of the Condenser: It dissipates heat from the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant vapor discharged by the compressor, condensing it into a high-pressure liquid refrigerant. Its main role is to quickly transfer the heat from the pipes to the surrounding air for dissipation. This process involves heat release, so the condenser temperature is generally quite high.

What Happens When a Gas-Converted Car Switches Back to Petrol?

The ignition system suffers the most damage, with the spark plugs being the most affected. Here are the detailed impacts: Reduced power and ignition capability: Since spark plugs are used for ignition, their deterioration leads to decreased power. The timing of ignition is precise, and missing the optimal ignition time results in reduced power. Incomplete combustion, increased fuel consumption: This affects the car's fuel efficiency. Insufficient ignition energy and incorrect ignition timing cause incomplete combustion, inevitably leading to higher petrol consumption. Carbon buildup, engine damage: Due to inadequate ignition performance causing incomplete combustion, significant carbon deposits accumulate on the piston tops and spark plug electrodes.
