Subject 1 exam requires arriving half an hour early for check-in. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's theory exam, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the exam content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. Exam process: Follow the staff's instructions to collect your driving school file in order at the waiting area; Bring and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; Mobile phones must be turned off when entering the exam area; No loud talking is allowed in the exam area; Regulation textbooks are not allowed in the exam area (or should be kept in your bag); After the exam, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the exam room; Candidates who pass the exam should sign under the guidance of staff at the exam exit before leaving; Candidates who fail the exam can leave immediately and wait for notification from their driving school regarding the retake schedule.

When I took the written driving test, my instructor emphasized arriving at least half an hour early—a lesson proven crucial in practice. Testing centers often have security queues and crowds; I barely had enough time for ID verification and seat-finding by arriving 40 minutes early. Most centers mandate 15-30 minutes’ advance arrival to account for traffic or technical issues. Being even a few minutes late risks staff denying entry, forcing costly rescheduling. Early arrival also stabilizes nerves and allows quick question review—unlike my friend who missed their exam by cutting timing too close. Always check route timing beforehand, add 20+ minutes as buffer, and carry ID/confirmation slips to avoid oversights.

How many points are deducted for making an immediate U-turn after driving in the wrong direction on the highway?

Drivers who make an immediate U-turn after driving in the wrong direction on the highway will have 12 points deducted and will also be subject to a fine. If you realize you've missed an exit while driving, it is recommended not to drive in the wrong direction. Instead, continue driving to the nearest exit or service area. Near the exit toll booth, there is usually a designated U-turn exit for drivers who have taken the wrong route. You can return to the highway from this point and find the appropriate lane using the directional signs. If you see a service area, look for the connecting tunnel in the middle. Simply drive through the connecting tunnel to enter the opposite service area. This can help save on highway tolls for the extra distance traveled, as long as the car remains within the highway's internal loop, round trips will not be charged. Other traffic violations on the highway include: Speeding, driving in the emergency lane, lingering on the guide lines for an extended period, and covering the license plate number.

What is the purpose of the black line on the left rearview mirror of an Audi?

The function of the black line on the left rearview mirror of an Audi is to identify distance and position. Significance of the black line: The inner side of the black line provides a normal field of view for observing nearby conditions. Due to its larger curvature, it allows for a clear view of nearby situations, such as seeing the position of the rear wheels and adjacent vehicles when reversing. The outer side of the black line expands the driver's field of vision. During normal use, the Audi's rearview mirror combines two different curvatures to cover both near and far fields of view, effectively reducing blind spots and enhancing safety. Design principle of the Audi left rearview mirror: The black dotted line serves as a dividing line, with the right side being a flat mirror and the left side a convex mirror. This design can double the field of vision while maintaining minimal distortion and almost eliminating blind spots during turns, allowing the driver to see a panoramic view behind the vehicle.

What is the difference between 150 and 140 torque?

Torque 150 accelerates faster than torque 140. Definition of torque: Torque refers to the average moment of force output from the crankshaft end when the engine is running, commonly known as the engine's "rotational force." It is an important parameter of engine performance. The greater the torque, the more "force" the engine outputs, the faster the crankshaft speed changes, and the better the car's climbing ability, starting speed, and acceleration. The difference between torque and horsepower: They have different meanings. Torque refers to the force that twists an object and causes it to deform, producing a moment when the object is subjected to a tangential force in the direction of rotation. Horsepower is a unit commonly used in engineering to measure power and is a physical quantity that determines a car's top speed. They have different units: torque is measured in Newton-meters, while horsepower is measured in kilowatts. Higher horsepower results in a higher top speed, while higher torque results in greater instantaneous acceleration force. For example, commercial vehicles have very high torque output values, so they have strong instantaneous acceleration force in low-speed ranges, but their weakness is relatively low horsepower output, meaning their top speed is lower.

What are the reasons for the black screen on the Beijing BJ40 central control screen?

Beijing BJ40 central control screen black screen reasons include aging wiring, prolonged usage, and circuit design defects. Aging wiring: This may be due to the aging of the power signal line of the Beijing BJ40 central control screen. You can try replacing it with a new signal line. If the black screen issue is resolved, it indicates a problem with the power signal line. Prolonged usage of the central control screen: When the Beijing BJ40 screen is used for an extended period, it can cause the power supply module to malfunction, leading not only to lag but also to a black screen in severe cases. Circuit design defects: It is necessary to go to a repair shop for inspection, repair, or direct replacement.

How to Steer the Wheel When Making a U-turn in Driving Test Part 3?

When making a U-turn in Driving Test Part 3, you should turn on the turn signal. Here are the extended instructions: 1. As you approach the U-turn location, drive close to the right side, reduce speed and shift to a lower gear, then turn on the left turn signal. 2. Once you confirm that the U-turn maneuver will not affect vehicles in other lanes, make the left turn decisively. 3. When the front of the car is about to cross the left edge of the road, quickly straighten the wheels, brake, and turn the steering wheel sharply two full turns to the right. 4. Sound the horn and observe the traffic behind you and on both sides of the road. After ensuring safety, immediately shift into reverse gear and back up. 5. When you determine there is sufficient space to complete the left-turn U-turn, stop immediately, quickly shift into 1st gear, turn the steering wheel fully to the left, and complete the U-turn.
