Subject Three driving test is not affected by rainy weather. As long as you drive slightly slower than usual and pay attention to the precautions for driving in the rain, it is relatively easy to pass the test smoothly. Below are some tips for the Subject Three driving test: 1. Follow the instructions: Listen carefully to the voice prompts of the Subject Three test and act accordingly. Remember not to perform any operations before the voice prompt ends; you must wait until the voice prompt is complete before proceeding to the next step. 2. Pay attention to special zones: In many areas, the voice prompts no longer remind you of special zones such as school zones, bus stops, and crosswalks. However, candidates must perform corresponding deceleration or yielding operations based on the project signs and road markings. For school zones, apply the brakes 10 meters from the project sign, and keep the speed below 30km/h. For bus stops, apply the brakes 10 meters from the project sign, and keep the speed below 30km/h. For crosswalks, apply the brakes to decelerate within 30 meters before the crosswalk, and stop to yield if there are pedestrians crossing.

I happened to take my driving test (Subject 3) on a rainy day, and the impact was significant. The road was extremely slippery, especially when turning or braking, which made my palms sweat. I almost hit a road sign due to poor visibility but managed to slow down in time. I recommend practicing rainy-day driving simulations to get familiar with wet road handling. Bring a towel to wipe the windows and check the wipers beforehand. Staying calm is crucial—don’t let the sound of rain distract you. In short, rainy days do add difficulty to the test, but with thorough preparation, passing is still achievable.

As someone who frequently observes driving tests, rain definitely affects the third part of the exam. Primarily, reduced road friction leads to longer braking distances, and rain-reflected lights obstruct visibility. Tests usually aren't canceled for this reason, but it can easily make candidates nervous and prone to mistakes. It's advisable to practice rainy-day driving skills a few weeks in advance, focusing on speed control and maintaining a safe following distance. Also, don't forget to check the car's wipers and defogging functions to ensure clear windows. In short, proactive measures can minimize the impact.

Taking the driving test (Subject 3) in rainy weather definitely carries potential risks. Slippery roads increase the likelihood of losing control, while poor visibility often leads to misjudging distances. Having experienced several rainy test drives myself, I found the biggest issue was increased anxiety. Staying focused on driving is more crucial than the weather itself—maintaining slower turns and gentle braking can significantly reduce error rates. Familiarizing yourself with the test route's wet road conditions in advance is also helpful. The key is not to panic; following procedures step by step will eventually lead to passing.

How to Read a Spark Plug Heat Range Chart?

Spark plug heat range charts typically include numbers from 1 to 9, where 1-3 represent low heat range, 4-6 medium heat range, and 7-9 high heat range. Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) spark plugs usually come in heat ranges of 5, 6, and 7. The lower the number, the 'colder' the spark plug, meaning better heat dissipation. Below is an introduction to spark plugs: 1. Function of spark plugs: Spark plugs serve to conduct the high-voltage electrical pulse from the ignition coil into the combustion chamber, using the electrode's spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture, thus completing combustion. 2. Types of spark plugs: Common spark plugs are categorized into resistor spark plugs, platinum spark plugs, and iridium spark plugs. Generally, resistor spark plugs have a lifespan of 20,000 kilometers, platinum spark plugs last up to 40,000 kilometers, while iridium spark plugs can endure between 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

How many kilometers can you drive without repairing an engine that burns oil?

If the engine burns oil and is not repaired, the car can generally continue to drive as long as there is sufficient engine oil. Hazards of engine oil burning: If a car burns oil but is not repaired, it can cause the oxygen sensor to fail prematurely, leading to increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, unstable idling, poor acceleration, increased fuel consumption, excessive exhaust emissions, and other adverse effects. It can also cause blockage of the three-way catalytic converter, and in severe cases, the engine may be scrapped. Hazards of continuously adding oil without changing it when burning oil: Continuously adding oil without changing it when the engine burns oil is also not advisable. Burning oil increases carbon deposits, and the oil contains impurities, making it more prone to deterioration. If the oil burning is severe, the oil should be replaced immediately. During replacement, it is also necessary to clean the engine and remove carbon deposits.

Will the engine number change after replacing the engine?

After replacing the engine, the engine number will change. You need to bring the certificate of conformity of the new engine to the vehicle management office for registration. Introduction to engine numbers: The engine number is the engine model. The engine model is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, industry or enterprise practices, and the attributes of the engine, to identify a batch of identical products. It represents information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and production batch of the engine, including fuel type, number of cylinders, displacement, and brake power. The engine number consists of four parts, each with the following meanings: Front section: Includes the product series code, generation symbol, and local or enterprise code. Manufacturers can choose corresponding letters as needed, but they must be approved and registered by the industry standard regulatory body. Middle section: Composed of symbols representing the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement, stroke, and cylinder diameter. Rear section: Composed of symbols representing structural features and usage characteristics. Tail section: Distinguishing symbol.

Do China V diesel vehicles have three-way catalytic converters?

China V diesel vehicles are equipped with three-way catalytic converters. Not all vehicles have three-way catalytic converters; in earlier years, vehicles produced in China that did not meet the China II emission standards were not equipped with them. Composition of the three-way catalytic converter: A three-way catalytic converter generally consists of four parts: the shell, damping layer, substrate, and catalyst coating. Shell: Made of stainless steel to prevent oxide scale from falling off, which could clog the substrate. Damping layer: Composed of gaskets or wire mesh pads, it serves to seal, insulate, and secure the substrate. To protect the substrate from damage caused by vibration, thermal deformation, and other factors, the gasket is made of expanded mica and aluminum silicate fibers, bonded together with adhesive. Substrate: Made of honeycomb-shaped ceramic material, though many also use metal (including stainless steel) materials. Catalyst: Composed of precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium, sprayed onto the substrate to form the purifying agent. Lifespan of the three-way catalytic converter: The lifespan of a three-way catalytic converter is generally between 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. The specific lifespan depends on the vehicle's usage conditions, and it is also related to the quality of the fuel used and the driving environment.
