When reversing into the parking space, the head cannot stick out and you can only observe through the rearview mirror. Relevant regulations: According to the relevant regulations of the "Content and Methods of Motor Vehicle Driver Examination", any part of the body extending outside the vehicle during the Subject 2 examination will be judged as a failure. Points deduction in the reversing into the parking space examination: The main points deduction in reversing into the parking space includes pressing the line while reversing, the car not entering the parking space, exceeding the time limit, and not driving according to the specified route. Reversing into the parking space must be completed within 210 seconds, exceeding the time limit will result in a failure, not following the sequence will result in a failure, incorrect operation of the turn signal will deduct 10 points, and attention should be paid to observing the 30cm side margin when reversing.

When I first got my driver's license, I was curious about this - sticking my head out while reversing into a parking space seemed to make alignment easier. But during one practice session, I almost hit a pole and realized how dangerous it was. There are many blind spots outside the vehicle, and leaning out makes you vulnerable to getting caught in the door or scraped by neighboring cars. The core of safe driving is maintaining focus on the interior rearview mirror and side mirrors, supplemented by a backup camera system when necessary. After developing good habits, I rarely stick my head out now. After all, beginners tend to be nervous - practice makes perfect. Remember, keeping your head inside the car increases safety and helps avoid unnecessary collisions.

As a driver with years of experience, I often see novices sticking their heads out while reversing. This behavior is quite common in garages or tight spaces, thinking it helps gauge the distance behind. But the lesson I've learned from experience is that it's best not to do this. The car's body structure can block the view, and if a vehicle or pedestrian suddenly approaches, the head is vulnerable to impact injuries. Modern cars come equipped with blind spot monitoring, and relying on these assistive tools is more reliable. When teaching my apprentices, I always emphasize maintaining an upright sitting posture and adjusting mirror angles frequently—this makes parking faster and more accurate. Safe driving isn't about taking risks but preventing potential hazards.

Never stick your head out of the window when reversing into a parking space. Traffic regulations strictly prohibit any body parts from extending outside the vehicle while driving, as this increases the risk of accidents. If caught, you may face penalty points, fines, or even more serious consequences. Keeping your head inside the car and relying on rearview systems is the correct approach. Whether you're an experienced driver or a beginner, following basic operating procedures benefits everyone.

Is a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission considered automatic or manual?

7-speed dual-clutch refers to a dual-clutch transmission with 7 forward gears. The 7-speed dual-clutch is based on a manual transmission rather than an automatic transmission, but it is classified as an automatic transmission. Here is some relevant information: 1. Wet dual-clutch transmission: The characteristic of a wet dual-clutch transmission is that it consists of two multi-plate clutches, one large and one small, mounted coaxially together in a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic fluid. Therefore, the wet clutch structure has better adjustment capabilities and higher thermal tolerance, allowing it to transmit relatively large torque. 2. Classification: Vehicle transmissions can be divided into two main categories: manual transmission (MT) and automatic transmission (AT), which correspond to the commonly known manual and automatic transmissions. Among automatic transmissions, they can be further subdivided into four types: AT (automatic transmission), AMT (semi-automatic transmission), DTC (dual-clutch transmission), and CVT (continuously variable transmission). Therefore, the 7-speed dual-clutch is also a type of automatic transmission structure.

What Causes the BMW Fan to Keep Running Continuously?

There are several reasons that can cause the BMW engine's water temperature to rise excessively or even boil over, such as damaged electronic components in the cooling system (thermostat, cooling fan), poor radiator performance, or insufficient coolant. These issues can lead to the fan running continuously. Below is additional information: Pull over: Pull over to the side of the road but do not turn off the engine. Since the coolant temperature is already very high and its cooling capacity has reached its limit, turning off the engine immediately would stop the circulation of the boiling coolant (for most engines, the water pump is driven by the crankshaft. Engines with electric water pumps may fare slightly better). Without proper cooling, the engine could suffer from the excessively high temperatures.

Why does the electric car's vacuum tire lose air at once and fail to inflate when off the rim?

Electric car's vacuum tire loses air at once and fails to inflate when off the rim because pushing it when deflated causes deformation of the vacuum tire's steel ring, preventing it from forming a sealed surface with the wheel hub. Below is an introduction to relevant content about car tires: 1. Cushioning impact: Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface, working together with the car's suspension to cushion the impacts encountered during driving. 2. Comfort: Ensuring the car has good ride comfort and smooth driving performance, maintaining excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability, while bearing the car's weight.

How to solve the Toyota P1604 starting function failure?

The fault code indicates a starting performance failure, and it is difficult to operate without professional tools. It is recommended to go to an auto repair shop or 4S store for operation. Here is more relevant information: 1. The main causes of the P1604 fault code: When the car throttle is stuck or the oil pressure is insufficient, the vehicle fails to start successfully; When the car battery cable is disconnected, the Toyota car cannot start immediately. 2. Car failure: Car failure refers to the phenomenon that the car system, assembly and parts lose their specified functions. According to the severity and correlation of the impact of the failure on the car performance, it is divided into four categories: fatal failure, which refers to the failure that endangers driving safety, causes casualties, results in the scrapping of major assemblies and significant economic losses or serious harm to the surrounding environment. Serious failure, which refers to the failure that affects driving safety, causes serious damage to major parts and assemblies, or significant performance degradation, and cannot be eliminated with easy-to-replace spare parts and on-board tools in a short time (about 30 minutes). 3. General failure: refers to the failure that causes the car to stop and performance degradation, but generally does not cause damage to parts and assemblies, and can be eliminated with easy-to-replace parts and on-board tools in a short time (about 30 minutes). Minor failure, which generally does not cause the car to stop and performance degradation, does not require replacement of parts, and can be easily eliminated (5 minutes) with on-board tools.

Is There Any Danger in Charging Electric Vehicles?

There is no danger in charging electric vehicles. The following is an introduction to the voltage and current during battery charging: 1. Voltage: The charging voltage for cars is 12V. During the charging process, the voltage typically ranges between 13.5-14.5V. When charged in the vehicle via the rectifier, it does not exceed 15V. If a charger is used, the charging voltage is usually 14V. 2. Current: During the charging process, the charging current should not be too high. It is recommended that car owners avoid using fast charging. When charging, use a current that is half the rated charging current and extend the rated charging time by double.
