Replacing brake pads does not require replacing the brake disc. Below are detailed explanations about brake pads: 1. Definition: Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are the most critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of all braking relies decisively on the brake pads. 2. Material: Brake pads are generally composed of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored using an SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker to ensure the temperature distribution during coating meets quality standards. The heat insulation layer is made of non-heat-conductive materials to provide thermal insulation. The friction block consists of friction materials and adhesives. During braking, it is pressed against the brake disc or drum to generate friction, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. Due to friction, the friction block gradually wears out. Generally, the lower the cost of the brake pads, the faster they wear.

What are the techniques for entering a right curve in Subject 2?

Subject 2 curve driving test is relatively simple, which involves safely driving the vehicle out along the designated "S"-shaped road. Here are the detailed steps: 1. Pay attention to the front of the car: When entering the S-curve, pay attention to the position of the front of the car, try to keep the outer front wheel of the vehicle close to the right edge of the curve, and drive in 1st gear with half-clutch. Do not stop during the process. During the process, you should also observe the left and right rearview mirrors to keep the vehicle driving along the S-road. 2. Turning left: Drive the vehicle close to the right side. When the left front corner coincides with the right edge line, turn the steering wheel one circle to the left, and make slight adjustments to keep the left front corner and the right edge line basically aligned. Drive along the S-road to turn left, and the vehicle will not press or cross the line. After passing the left curve, prepare to turn right.

Should you release the handbrake or shift to first gear first when starting in Subject 2?

Shift to first gear before releasing the handbrake. Below is a detailed introduction about the Subject 2 test: 1. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test. The test items for cars C1 and C2 include five mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-curves). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection. 2. Teaching objectives: Master the basic driving operation essentials and possess the fundamental ability to control the vehicle; proficiently grasp the basic methods of field and road driving within the test area, and have the ability to reasonably use vehicle control components and correctly control the vehicle's spatial position, accurately controlling the vehicle's driving position, speed, and route.

What is the mnemonic rhyme for the parking skills in Subject 2?

During driving practice, there are some mnemonic rhymes to help you remember. Here are the details: 1. Reverse parking: First reverse to the right, turn the wheel fully right and wait to enter the parking space; straighten the wheel after entering and make slight adjustments, half a turn is enough; turn fully left when exiting, keep it steady and shift to reverse gear; return the same way to straighten into the parking space, and exit to the right to complete. 2. Parallel parking: Stop parallel and shift to reverse gear, turn the wheel fully right at the right point; straighten the wheel when you see the corner of the parking space, after the rear wheel enters the space in the left mirror; turn fully left until parallel, turn on the signal light and exit while straightening the wheel. 3. Curve driving: Be careful when driving on curves, adjust frequently with about one turn of the wheel; turn the wheel slightly late to ensure the rear of the car does not cross the line.

Does Canceling the Subject 2 Test Twice Have Any Impact?

No impact, but there are only five opportunities in total. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. Cancellation of scheduled appointments: There are a total of five scheduled exams for Subject 2 and Subject 3. If the appointment is successfully scheduled and you are notified to take the exam, canceling once will deduct one scheduled exam opportunity. However, the latter (internet method) can only be canceled three times. Exceeding three times requires canceling at the DMV window. 2. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. The C1/C2 test items include five mandatory tests: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed card collection.

Techniques for Curve Driving Points in Subject 2

There are many techniques for curve driving, and the following is a detailed introduction: 1. Pay attention to the position of the front of the car: When entering the S-curve entrance, pay attention to the position of the front of the car and try to drive in the middle of the road. When the car is about to enter, make sure the speed is not too fast; it's best to maintain a constant speed and advance in 1st gear with semi-linked clutch. When entering the curve, try to drive close to the right side of the curve, as the first turn is to the left, and remember to observe the left and right rearview mirrors. 2. Steering: When the left corner of the car coincides with the right sideline, immediately turn left one full circle, and during driving, always observe the left corner of the car pressing against the sideline to ensure the car does not cross or go out of the line. 3. Straighten the steering wheel: When the left corner of the car touches the left line of the second curve, straighten the steering wheel and then slowly move forward for a while.

What does 'sweeping the line' mean in Subject 2?

Sweeping the line refers to the vehicle body crossing the line. In the Subject 2 driving test, if the vehicle body crosses the line, 100 points will be deducted, resulting in a failed test. In addition to the vehicle body crossing the line, other actions that will deduct 100 points include failing to park properly in reverse, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, and exceeding the allotted time. The Subject 2 test is scored out of 100 points, with criteria for failing, deducting 20 points, 10 points, or 5 points. The test is considered passed under the following conditions: ① For applicants of large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, or large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. If a candidate fails the Subject 2 test, they are allowed one retake on the spot. If they choose not to retake or fail the retake, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving test permit, candidates can schedule the Subject 2 and Subject 3 road tests no more than five times. If the fifth attempt is still unsuccessful, any previously passed subjects will be invalidated.
