Does the downhill vehicle yield to the uphill vehicle or vice versa in Subject 4?
2 Answers
In Subject 4, the downhill vehicle yields to the uphill vehicle. Below is relevant information about Subject 4: 1. Introduction: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the "Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139 of the People's Republic of China," the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: besides the road test, a safety and civilized driving knowledge test was added, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which evaluates "driving ethics." The test consists of 50 questions, presented in the form of case studies, images, animations, etc., with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. 2. Teaching Materials: "Safe Driving Starts Here," compiled by the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China. 3. Teaching Objectives: To master the basic essentials of driving operations, possess fundamental vehicle control abilities, and be proficient in basic methods of driving on both field and road courses.
This question often appears in the Subject 4 exam! Remember the core principle: the vehicle going uphill has the right of way. If an uphill vehicle stops to yield, it may roll backward when restarting, which is dangerous. Downhill vehicles are relatively easier to control, and gravity can even assist. When encountering each other on a narrow road, the downhill vehicle should actively find a safe spot to pull over, preferably on the mountain side, allowing the uphill vehicle to pass steadily. This rule is actually a safety-oriented protective design—after all, no one wants to perform a rolling stunt on a steep slope, right? In such situations, slowing down and signaling with lights to let the other party go first is always the right move.
