Parallel parking does not require both sides to be equally wide. Here are the details: Introduction: Parallel parking has been a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license since 2013. It examines the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle in a confined space. Parallel parking is one of the assessment points in the driver's test, which involves correctly reversing the vehicle into a parking space from both sides while in motion. Test Content: Reverse from starting point A into parking space B and stop correctly. Move forward to the turnaround area C and stop. Reverse from the turnaround area into parking space B and stop. Return from parking space B to A to complete the test. Evaluation Criteria: Failure to follow the prescribed route or sequence results in disqualification. Running over the line or failing to park properly results in disqualification. Exceeding 210 seconds to complete parallel parking results in disqualification. Stopping midway deducts 5 points each time.

Where is the switch inside the Corolla's trunk?

Corolla's trunk switch is located at the lower left side of the driver's seat. Press the trunk release button to open the trunk. Additionally, the Corolla can also open the trunk using the remote key. There are 3 ways to open the Corolla's trunk: 1. The trunk switch inside the Corolla's cabin is a lever. This lever-type switch is quite standard, usually located at the lower left side of the driver's seat or the lower left side of the steering wheel, marked with an icon of a car trunk opening. It is often placed together with the fuel tank cap lever. 2. Use the Corolla's remote key to unlock the trunk directly. Press the middle trunk unlock button on the remote key for 2 seconds, and the trunk will automatically unlock and lift. This method works even when the entire car is locked. 3. Manual unlocking: There is a soft rubber handle under the lower edge of the trunk emblem. Gently lift it to open the trunk. Of course, this requires the entire car to be unlocked (pressing the remote key once unlocks the left front door, which won't open the trunk; pressing twice unlocks the entire car, allowing the handle to be used to open the trunk directly).

Is it still necessary to affix the annual inspection label for vehicles?

Is it still necessary to affix the annual inspection label for vehicles? According to relevant regulations, vehicles driven on the road should affix the current year's inspection label in a conspicuous position on the upper right corner of the front windshield. It is important to note that private cars exempt from inspection for 6 years need to collect the annual inspection label every 2 years, which can be obtained at the vehicle management office or traffic police station. Before the annual inspection, the following needs to be handled: Before the annual inspection, traffic violations must be addressed first. Then, bring the vehicle registration certificate, a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the owner's ID card to complete the annual inspection. Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Vehicles: For compulsory traffic insurance, you can directly use the copy of the insurance policy to apply for the exemption inspection procedure. The compulsory insurance for vehicles also includes the record of the vehicle and vessel tax. Note: Do not leave the original copy with the vehicle management office, as the original will be needed for future insurance claims.

Is the Transaction Price the Same as the On-the-Road Price?

The transaction price is not the same as the on-the-road price. The on-the-road price includes the total cost of the vehicle purchase price, license plate fees, taxes, insurance, and a series of other expenses, while the transaction price generally refers only to the ex-factory price of the car. Below is an introduction to the on-the-road price of a car: Overview: The on-the-road price refers to all expenses incurred from purchasing a car until it is registered, including not only the ex-factory price but also purchase tax, vehicle and vessel usage tax, car insurance fees, and license plate fees. If the car is purchased on loan, the on-the-road price also includes dealership service fees, GPS fees, car loan interest, and other costs. Note: When buying a car, it is important to negotiate the on-the-road price with the salesperson, as it includes the ex-factory price. Even if the ex-factory price offers significant discounts to consumers, other fees may offset these savings. Discounts on the ex-factory price are often used to attract buyers or as a promotional tactic, but the final on-the-road price may not necessarily be cheap once the consumer decides to purchase the car.

What Causes the Noise from the Vehicle's Subframe?

In reality, the noise is actually caused by friction between metal components. When this noise occurs, it may be due to the following issues: Generally, replacing the stabilizer bar bushings is quite labor-intensive because these bushings are usually located on the subframe, making the disassembly process costly. If the bushings are severely worn, they may produce a thumping or dull sound. If the wear is less severe and the bushings have only hardened, they may emit a squeaking noise. Articulated Subframe: An articulated subframe includes a subframe body, which consists of a C-shaped support frame, connecting brackets, and connecting hinge pins. At both ends of the C-shaped support frame, a connecting bracket is hinged via a connecting hinge pin. Movable Structure: This utility model of an articulated subframe replaces the traditional monolithic subframe with a structure where the C-shaped support frame and connecting brackets are linked via hinge pins. During use, both the connecting brackets and the C-shaped support frame are movable structures. The movement of the hinge pins reduces stress on the articulated joints, thereby minimizing wear. Even if the connecting parts wear out over time, the cost of replacing components can be reduced by simply replacing the hinge pins. This lowers overall usage costs and improves material utilization efficiency.

Can I Get a Refund If I Haven't Taken the Subject 1 Test?

You can get a refund if you haven't taken the Subject 1 test, but this depends on negotiation with your driving school and their willingness to issue the refund. Here are some considerations when choosing a driving school: Check qualifications: Ensure the school has a valid business license and a road transport operation permit. Assess strength: Evaluate the school's facilities, including whether they have their own training grounds, vehicles, and adequate lighting for evening sessions, as well as a mock test site. Transparent pricing: Avoid low-price traps that may lead to hidden fees or delays. Reputable schools usually charge a one-time, all-inclusive fee.
