Larger rims do not necessarily mean higher fuel consumption. Whether a wheel consumes more fuel depends on its weight and deformation characteristics. Introduction: Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling. They are typically installed on metal rims to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure driving performance. Composition: Tires usually consist of three parts: the outer tire, inner tube, and flap. Some tires do not require an inner tube, as they feature an inner layer with excellent air-tightness and require specialized rims. Globally, tire structures are evolving toward tubeless designs, radial constructions, flat profiles (with a low height-to-width ratio), and lightweight materials.

What does Lane Change Assist mean?

Lane Change Assist, also known as Blind Spot Monitoring, functions by alerting the driver to approaching vehicles from behind through the side mirrors or other locations on the vehicle. Due to vehicle design, there are certain blind spots in the rear visibility range during lane changes or overtaking. The Lane Change Assist system aims to minimize these blind spots as much as possible, allowing the driver to assess the situation of vehicles behind through warning signals. When changing lanes, if there is a vehicle approaching from behind, the Lane Change Assist system will sound an alarm to alert the driver, ensuring safe lane changing. The principle of Lane Change Assist is similar to radar. When preparing to change lanes by signaling, if the driver fails to notice other vehicles in adjacent lanes, the LED lights on the mirrors will flash to warn the driver to pay attention to safety.

What to Do If the Vehicle Registration Certificate Is Lost?

If the vehicle registration certificate is lost, it is necessary to promptly visit the vehicle management office to apply for a replacement. Unlike the driving license, which needs to be carried daily, the vehicle registration certificate is required for vehicle transfers and registrations. Therefore, if it is lost, immediate action should be taken to recover it. If it cannot be recovered, a replacement must be applied for at the local vehicle management department. Documents required for replacing the vehicle registration certificate: When applying for a replacement of the vehicle registration certificate, it is important to note that private vehicle owners must personally visit the vehicle management office to apply. Additionally, the vehicle must be driven to the office for processing. The original and a copy of the owner's ID card or residence permit must be provided. For company or institutional users, the original and a copy of the organization code certificate, the agent's ID card, and a stamped written authorization letter are also required. Lost declaration for the vehicle registration certificate: If the vehicle registration certificate is lost, a lost declaration can serve as proof that the certificate is indeed missing. This can prevent the old certificate from being misused by criminals if found. The declaration can include the reason for the loss, specifying when and why the vehicle registration certificate was lost. If there is no specific reason, simply stating the fact of the loss is sufficient. Once the declaration is made, the original certificate will become invalid after the replacement is issued, meaning it will have no legal effect even if misused by others.

After deducting 12 points, do you need to take Subject One and Subject Four?

After completing Subject One of the driver's license test, you cannot directly proceed to Subject Four. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the test sequence follows Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three in order. Only after passing the previous subject can you proceed to the next. After passing the road driving skills test of Subject Three, you are eligible to take the safe and civilized driving knowledge test. There are three main subjects in the driving test: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three, with Subject Three divided into two parts. Subject Four is the colloquial term for the safe and civilized driving knowledge test under Subject Three and is not a separate subject. Subject One refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test; Subject Three refers to the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test. However, Subject Two and Subject Three tests must be rescheduled at least ten days later. If you fail the safe and civilized driving knowledge test of Subject Three, the passed road driving skills test results remain valid. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of rescheduled tests for Subject Two and Subject Three road driving skills tests cannot exceed five. If you fail the fifth rescheduled test, the results of other passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject Four Test Notes: Test Duration: The test lasts 30 minutes, and if you make 12 mistakes (6 questions) during the test, the session will be terminated. Question Count: Depending on the type of driver's license, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject Four test bank. For car licenses, questions are selected from 800, while for large vehicle licenses, questions are selected from 1,023. Each question is worth 2 points. Question Types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions. The first 45 questions are single-choice, and the last 5 are multiple-choice. The test also includes animated questions, image-based questions, scenario recognition questions, and text-based questions. Retest Notes: If you fail Subject Four, you only need to retake Subject Four. The driving school will schedule the retest, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. You can retake the test until you pass, and no additional fees are required for Subject Four retests. Subject Four Test Tips: Focus on error-prone areas and identify the reasons for mistakes. For marked questions, do not just memorize the correct answers. Refer to laws, textbooks, or reference materials to understand the reasons for errors and internalize them. Categorize and summarize test questions. Refer to the question bank analysis for classification and identify similar questions: Many questions in the bank are similar and easily confused. For example, traffic signs for walking, hiking, pedestrian crossing, and pedestrian zone warnings are very similar. Grouping them during study helps avoid mistakes. Use memory techniques: Many questions in the bank involve numbers. Summarizing these numbers can make memorization easier.

How many times are lights used in Subject 2?

The usage scenarios of lights in Subject 2 vary depending on the vehicle type. For a C-class license, lights are used 4 times, while for a B-class license, lights are used 6 times. For C-class license: Starting: Similar to Subject 3, when starting in Subject 2, always remember to turn on the left turn signal at the end. Parallel parking: The parallel parking exercise requires using the turn signal once. After passing the test and preparing to exit, turn on the left turn signal. Slope parking and starting: After completing the slope parking, when preparing to start on the slope, turn on the left turn signal. Right-angle turn: When making a right-angle turn, the left turn signal must be used. For B-class license: Turn on the width light and high beam: Driving at night without streetlights or under poor lighting conditions. Driving in suburban areas at night without streetlights or under poor lighting conditions. Turn on the width light and low beam: Driving in urban areas at night without streetlights or under poor lighting conditions. Turn on the high beam: Switch the headlights to high beam. Turn on the low beam: Driving closely behind another vehicle at night. Meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or bridges at night. Meeting an oncoming vehicle at night when the distance is about 150 meters. Alternate between high and low beams twice: Passing sharp curves, slopes, arch bridges, pedestrian crossings, or intersections without traffic signals at night. Passing intersections without traffic signals at night. Turn on the headlights, front and rear fog lights, and hazard lights: Driving in foggy conditions. If you fail the Subject 2 test once, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the test will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Important notes for the Subject 2 test: The first thing after getting in the car is to adjust the seat and rearview mirror to a comfortable position and state, and always fasten the seat belt. During parallel parking, find the right angle quickly, turn the steering wheel rapidly, react promptly, and coordinate with the car's speed. For slope parking, remember to pull the handbrake, turn on the left turn signal when starting, release the handbrake, stabilize the clutch, and gently press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turns, react quickly after finding the right point and coordinate with the car's speed to avoid deviation. The safest method for curve driving (S-curve) is to slow down and maintain good control. Practice regularly to develop a good sense of the car. During reverse parking, control the speed carefully, find the reference point accurately, and make minor adjustments when observing deviations in the rearview mirror.

Why Should You Avoid Flood-Damaged Cars?

Flood-damaged cars should be avoided because water has entered the vehicle compartment, submerging the chassis, floor, and even the engine. The damp interior is prone to mold growth and unpleasant odors, while wiring harnesses and electronic control units are susceptible to corrosion, leading to potential malfunctions later on. Untreated metal components inside the car are also prone to oxidation and corrosion. During repairs, absorbent materials like carpets are often not replaced but merely dried, sometimes leaving residual moisture that can't be completely removed. During hot summer months, this can cause strong musty odors in the car, which may be harmful to health. Water can penetrate wiring harnesses and the casings of onboard computers. Although all functions may appear normal after repairs, residual moisture in the circuits can accelerate oxidation and damage to wires and circuit boards. Some untreated metal components in the car will experience accelerated corrosion and oxidation due to remaining dampness after the vehicle is repaired.
