The Subject 4 driving license exam can be taken in another location. Below is an introduction to Subject 4: Exam content of Subject 4: According to the type of driving license being tested, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank in proportion. For small vehicle licenses, questions are selected from a pool of 800, while for large vehicle licenses, questions are selected from a pool of 1023. The exam questions include animation questions, picture questions, scenario recognition questions, and text-based questions. The exam duration is 30 minutes, and if 6 questions are answered incorrectly during the exam, the session will be terminated. Precautions for multiple-choice questions in Subject 4: For multiple-choice questions in Subject 4, points will be deducted whether you select too many or too few options, and it will be treated as a wrong answer. All correct answers must be selected for multiple-choice questions; selecting too many or too few options will result in no points.

Yes, the subject four test can now be taken in a different location, which is quite convenient. I heard that the Ministry of Public Security has introduced new regulations to facilitate the public, allowing students to take the test in a place other than where they learned to drive or where their household registration is. For example, if I work in another city but learned to drive in my hometown, I can make an appointment in advance at a local test center, bring my ID card, and take the subject four test directly without taking time off to travel back and forth. This policy was implemented around 2020 and is supported in many large cities, saving time and travel expenses. Of course, implementation varies in different places, and some small cities may have restrictions. I recommend checking the local DMV website or calling to confirm before the test to avoid delays due to information gaps. This way, it doesn’t have much impact on work or study, and it’s safe and efficient.

As someone who is often on the go, I think taking the Subject 4 driving test in a different city is fantastic! Last time, I took it in the city where I was working, so I didn't have to go back to my hometown, which saved me a lot of hassle. The process is simple—just book an appointment using the Traffic Management 12123 App, bring your ID to the local test center, and you're good to go. The test content is the same as in your hometown, all theoretical questions, and you get the results immediately after the exam. I recommend checking the local policies, as most places support taking the test in a different city. Just confirm in advance if any additional documents are required. This not only saves on fuel costs but also doesn't disrupt your livelihood. The government's arrangements are becoming more and more considerate.

Last year when I got my driver's license, I took the subject four test in a different location, and it went smoothly. I was studying at university, and although I registered for driving school in my hometown, I was able to take subject four near my campus. After making an appointment with my ID card, I went to the test site, and it was all done within half an hour. The process was easy with no bottlenecks, saving me from long-distance travel and eliminating concerns about taking time off. After the policy reforms, there have been more and more such convenient services, making for a great experience.

Is the Driving Resistance Greater or Smaller on Downhill Sections?

Driving resistance on downhill sections is smaller compared to flat sections. On downhill sections, due to the effect of gravity, the driving resistance is reduced, making it easier for the vehicle to speed up and harder to control compared to driving on flat terrain. Increased driving resistance manifests as insufficient power during driving, a mismatch between speed and gear, increased fuel consumption, and poorer coasting performance when the vehicle is in neutral on straight roads. Reasons for increased driving resistance include: 1. Faults in the vehicle's transmission system: Poor lubrication, insufficient, deteriorated, or overly viscous lubricants in the drive axle's main reducer, differential, or transmission can increase driving resistance; improper assembly or adjustment of the drive axle's main reducer and transmission, overly tight bearing assembly, improper driveshaft assembly, overly tight or poorly lubricated universal joint bearings, or lack of oil; excessively small gear meshing clearance in the transmission increases transmission resistance, deformation of the drive axle housing, bending deformation of the half-shaft, and friction between the half-shaft and the half-shaft sleeve can all contribute to increased driving resistance. 2. Faults in the vehicle's driving system: Deformation or displacement of the front axle or drive axle can increase driving resistance; poor lubrication, deteriorated or insufficient lubricants in the wheel hub bearings, insufficient tire pressure, and deformation of the vehicle frame can all lead to increased driving resistance. 3. Overloading the vehicle, poor road conditions, and driving against the wind can also cause increased driving resistance.

What does ST on tires stand for?

Tire ST refers to trailer tires. Additional information: 1. Trailer tires do not refer to truck trailers, but rather to the practice in European and American countries where private cars often tow an additional vehicle for transporting goods or travel purposes. The ST designation before the tire indicates this type of tire. ST can be considered as an abbreviation for sport-trailer. 2. Pneumatic tires can be further divided into two types based on their construction: tube tires and tubeless tires. Passenger cars commonly use tubeless tires. Based on the arrangement of internal cord layers and cushion layers, tires can also be classified as radial tires or bias-ply tires. Radial tires are widely used in automobiles. 3. Automotive tires can be categorized into pneumatic tires and solid tires based on their carcass structure. Modern vehicles predominantly use pneumatic tires. According to internal air pressure levels, pneumatic tires can be divided into three types: high-pressure tires, low-pressure tires, and ultra-low-pressure tires. Low-pressure tires are commonly used in various vehicles. Pneumatic tires can also be classified into tube tires and tubeless tires based on their construction.

What Are the Types of Automotive Batteries?

Nowadays, automotive starting batteries generally include the following types: Dry-charged Lead-Acid Battery: This type is called a dry battery because it is completely dry without electrolyte when it leaves the factory. Since it requires the addition of electrolyte for use, it is commonly known as a water battery. Its advantage is that the negative plate has a high capacity for storing electricity, and it can retain the stored charge for up to two years in a completely dry state, making it very convenient for storage and transportation. To use it, you only need to add electrolyte and wait for 20-30 minutes before it is ready. It is also relatively cheaper. The downside is that it requires regular maintenance and the addition of electrolyte, which can be quite troublesome for the average consumer. Currently, it is mainly used in trucks and buses. Valve-Regulated Sealed Lead-Acid Battery: Also known as a maintenance-free battery. As the name suggests, this battery does not require any liquid maintenance from the time it leaves the factory until it is scrapped. The advantages are obvious: first, it is maintenance-free; second, it is resistant to vibration, high temperatures, compact in size, and has low self-discharge. It generally also has a longer lifespan. The drawback is that it is relatively more expensive. Currently, almost all passenger cars use this type of battery. With the price gap of maintenance-free batteries narrowing in recent years, more and more buses and trucks are also starting to use maintenance-free batteries. Lithium-Ion Battery: The advantages of lithium batteries are their small size and light weight. The disadvantages are their high cost and relatively lower safety. Due to these characteristics, they are mainly used in high-performance cars and sports cars.

What does it feel like when the car's ABS intervenes?

When the ABS intervenes during braking, there will be a rattling sound and a sense of jerkiness. Here are some related details about ABS: 1. Function: The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) automatically controls the braking force during car braking to prevent the wheels from locking up, keeping them in a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio of about 20%) to ensure maximum adhesion between the wheels and the road. 2. Working Principle: During braking, ABS quickly determines the locking state of each wheel based on the speed signals from the wheel speed sensors. It closes the normally open input solenoid valve for the wheel that is starting to lock, maintaining the braking force. If the wheel continues to lock, it opens the normally closed output solenoid valve, causing the braking pressure on that wheel to drop rapidly due to the direct connection to the brake fluid reservoir, preventing the wheel from completely locking up due to excessive braking force.
