Hitting the car in P gear will not damage the transmission. Below are some precautions for driving on the road: 1. Release the handbrake before driving: Forgetting to release the handbrake before driving is a common mistake made by many beginners, especially when encountering a red light and pulling the handbrake, often forgetting to release it when the light turns green. This not only easily reduces the vehicle's braking performance but can also cause tire friction leading to fire in severe cases. 2. Distinguish between the accelerator and brake: In daily driving, as long as you pay attention to maintaining a safe distance and controlling the speed, there is no need to slam on the brakes; a light tap is sufficient, which also gives the following vehicle enough reaction time.

What to Do If Your License Plate Falls Off While Driving?

After losing your license plate, the first thing to remember is to call the police and then file a report at the local police station. This prevents the plate from being used illegally by criminals who might transfer violations to the vehicle owner. Applying for a new license plate is straightforward—simply visit the vehicle management office without needing to report to the public security bureau. Below are the key points to note when replacing a license plate: 1. In addition to your vehicle registration certificate and personal ID, be sure to bring your motor vehicle registration certificate if you have one. For company vehicles, you also need to bring the organization code certificate. 2. First, fill out a license plate replacement application form at the vehicle management office. For company vehicles, the form must be stamped with the company seal before submission. The office will provide you with a police receipt and a temporary license plate. The temporary plate should be prominently displayed on the front windshield for police inspection. Using a temporary plate does not affect annual inspections. If only one plate is lost, you must surrender the remaining old plate when applying for a replacement. 3. After 30 working days, you can collect your new license plate from the vehicle management office. If the new plate number is the same as the original, your existing vehicle registration certificate remains valid and does not need to be replaced.

How long after passing the automatic transmission subject one test can you take subject two?

According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses', you can make an online appointment for the subject two test 10 days after passing the automatic transmission subject one test. For the C license driving test, subject two can be taken 10 days after passing subject one, and the automatic transmission falls under the C2 license within the C license category. Each appointment for subject two allows for two exam attempts. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a free retake is available. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the exam session ends, and you can reschedule the subject two test after 10 days. Within the validity period of the learning driver's license, the number of subject two test appointments must not exceed five. If the fifth appointment is still unsuccessful, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated. To continue learning for the driver's license, you will need to start over from subject one. Subject two test content: Driving a motor vehicle to complete the test items within the designated area; mastery of motor vehicle driving skills; ability to judge the spatial position of the motor vehicle. Subject two is also known as the small road test, and the test items include reverse parking, parallel parking, right-angle turns, and curve driving. Subject two test precautions: After getting into the car, always adjust the seat and rearview mirror to a suitable position and state, and always fasten the seat belt. For parallel parking, remember to find the correct angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react promptly, and coordinate with the car's speed. For right-angle turns, find the point quickly and react promptly to the turn, always coordinating with the car's speed, otherwise, it may deviate. For curve driving (S-curve), slow down and drive carefully. Those with good driving sense during practice can pass through quickly in one go. For reverse parking, always control the speed, find the reference point accurately, and know how to make minor adjustments when observing deviations in the rearview mirror. The driving test consists of three subjects: subject one, subject two, and subject three. 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 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving common sense test. The safe and civilized driving common sense test is conducted after subject three, so it is commonly referred to as subject four. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such thing as subject four.

How Often Should You Replace the Car Air Filter?

According to the car maintenance manual, the replacement interval is 10,000-20,000 kilometers or once a year. It is recommended to clean the air filter every 5,000 kilometers to reduce the formation of throttle sludge. The location of the car's air filter element varies depending on the intake form and engine structure. It is generally located in the air filter on the engine intake pipe. There are two types of air filters in cars: dry and wet. The dry type is made of paper or organic materials, while the wet type is made of metal wire mesh. The function of the air filter: to filter out particulate impurities in the air, ensuring that sufficient clean air enters the cylinder, preventing floating dust in the air from being sucked into the engine, and accelerating the wear of the piston group and cylinder. Air filter: It is a type of filter, also known as an air filter cartridge, air cleaner, or style. It is mainly used in engineering vehicles, cars, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operating rooms as an air filter. During operation, the engine needs to suck in a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, the suspended dust in the air will be sucked into the cylinder, accelerating the wear of the piston group and cylinder. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can cause severe cylinder scoring, which is particularly serious in dry and sandy working environments. The air cleaner is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe to filter out dust and sand particles in the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinder. A dirty air filter: Using a dirty air filter while driving will cause insufficient engine intake, incomplete fuel combustion, leading to unstable engine operation, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, the car must keep the air filter clean. The car air cleaner is a device that removes particulate impurities from the air, consisting of one or several clean air filter components. Its main function is to filter out harmful impurities in the air that is about to enter the cylinder, reducing early wear of the cylinder, piston, piston rings, valves, and valve seats. Therefore, before the air enters the cylinder, it must be finely filtered by the air cleaner. A dirty air filter can cause poor engine performance, excessive fuel consumption, and engine damage. When checking the air filter, if you find little dust and light blockage, you can use high-pressure air to blow it clean from the inside out and continue using it. A severely dirty air filter should be replaced promptly.

Is the Driving Test Subject 1 Taken on a Computer?

Subject 1 of the driving test is conducted on a computer. The test has a time limit of 45 minutes. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," candidates can take the Subject 1 test twice on the same day. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a second free retake is allowed. If the second attempt also fails, the Subject 1 test is terminated, and the candidate must wait ten days before reapplying. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 Test Content: Regulations on driving licenses and motor vehicle management; Road traffic conditions and regulations; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Road traffic accident handling regulations; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 Test Notes: Candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the test center. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen before entering the test room, and store personal items in the lockers. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned station and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a same-day retake is allowed. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect and sign your score report—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each test allows one retake if the initial attempt fails. If the retake is unsuccessful or not taken, the test is terminated, and the candidate must reapply. In contrast, Subjects 2 and 3 allow only five test attempts, with rescheduling permitted ten days later. If the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test is failed, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 is the field driving skills test. Subject 3 includes two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4, although the official term (under the Ministry of Public Security’s Order No. 123) does not include a "Subject 4."
