Generally, the rearview mirror crossing the line during reverse parking in the subject test does not result in point deduction, depending on the markings of each examination site. According to the "Motor Vehicle Driver Training and Examination Syllabus," as long as the vehicle body does not exceed the ground markings during reverse parking, no points are deducted. The rearview mirror is convex, so whether it is considered part of the vehicle body depends on the recognition of the rearview mirror by local examination sites. Crossing the line with the vehicle body, failing to park properly, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route, driving out of sequence, or exceeding the specified time will result in a 100-point deduction. The full score is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for disqualification, 20-point deduction, 10-point deduction, and 5-point deduction. The rules for the subject two test of applying for a motor vehicle driver's license state that stopping midway, rolling back, or not following the voice prompts during the test will result in disqualification. Wheels or the vehicle body crossing the line will also lead to disqualification. Many learners encounter the issue of crossing the line during subject two training, and "crossing the line" is the most common reason for failing the test. The main cause of wheels crossing the line is that learners have not mastered the correct timing for steering. Besides missing the right moment to steer, another reason could be that the speed of steering does not match the vehicle's speed. Subject two point deduction criteria: Not wearing a seatbelt: 100-point deduction. Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: 100-point deduction. Not using turn signals (including starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, or parking by the roadside); using turn signals for less than three seconds (this is easily overlooked!); forgetting to turn off turn signals or using them incorrectly: 10-point deduction. Stalling once: 10-point deduction. Reverse parking: Not following the prescribed route sequence: 100-point deduction. Vehicle body crossing the line: 100-point deduction. Failing to park properly: 100-point deduction. Before reversing, if the two front wheels do not pass the control line: 100-point deduction. Exceeding the 210-second time limit: 100-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Slope parking and starting: After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm: 100-point deduction. After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm: 10-point deduction. After stopping, if the starting time exceeds 30 seconds: 100-point deduction. Wheels crossing the road edge line while driving: 100-point deduction. Rolling back more than 30 cm when starting: 100-point deduction. After stopping, if the vehicle body is more than 50 cm from the road edge line: 100-point deduction. Not tightening the parking brake after stopping: 10-point deduction per occurrence. After stopping, if the vehicle body is between 30 cm and 50 cm from the road edge line: 10-point deduction per occurrence. Rolling back between 10 cm and 30 cm when starting: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Parallel parking: After parking, if the vehicle body crosses the line: 100-point deduction. Not using or incorrectly using turn signals when parking: 10-point deduction. Exceeding the 90-second time limit: 100-point deduction. Touching the parking space edge line while driving: 10-point deduction per occurrence. Wheels touching the lane edge line while driving: 10-point deduction per occurrence. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Right-angle turn: Wheels crossing the road edge line: 100-point deduction. Not using or incorrectly using turn signals during the turn, or not turning them off after the turn: 10-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Curve driving: Wheels crossing the road edge line: 100-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 100-point deduction. Driving without shifting to second gear or above: 5-point deduction.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Make Noise When Gently Shaken in Place?

The causes of noise when gently shaking the steering wheel in place are the shock absorber's thrust bearing and the stabilizer bar. Shock Absorber Thrust Bearing: If a clicking sound is heard when gently shaking the steering wheel in place, it is likely due to insufficient lubrication in the shock absorber's thrust bearing. To confirm, open the hood and listen to see if the sound is coming from the top mount of the shock absorber. If it is indeed the thrust bearing making noise, applying some grease to the bearing may help. If the noise persists after greasing, replacement is necessary. Noise from the Stabilizer Bar: If the noise is not from the shock absorber, check if the stabilizer bar bushings are loose or damaged. Damaged bushings will not only cause noise when turning the steering wheel but also when driving over uneven roads. Loose stabilizer bar bushings can be fixed by adding shims, but damaged ones must be replaced.

What is a Hot Hatch?

Hot hatch generally refers to compact or smaller-sized, two-door hatchback models with outstanding power, excellent handling, and attractive appearance. Below is an introduction to hot hatch models: Characteristics of hot hatch models: The common features of hot hatch cars are outstanding power, excellent handling, and attractive appearance. These models boast stylish and unique exterior designs with flexible personalities, often equipped with high-performance engines and transmissions, along with corresponding high-performance power configurations and reinforced chassis suspensions. Hot hatch models have relatively strong power, but unlike the monstrous power of American muscle cars, hot hatches offer robust performance while benefiting from smaller size and lighter weight, resulting in a higher power-to-weight ratio. They deliver superior performance and driving pleasure compared to ordinary sedans, and with systematic enhancements, their 0-100 km/h acceleration time can be reduced to as low as 4 seconds. Representative hot hatch models: Volkswagen Golf GTI, Volkswagen Scirocco, Mazda3 Hatchback, MINI Cooper, Fiat Bravo, PT Cruiser, Opel Astra GTC, BMW 1 Series, Audi A3, Fiat 500, Volvo C30, Buick Excelle, certain Alfa Romeo models, as well as Subaru WRX and Subaru Impreza 2.0R Sport Hatchback.

Does Adhesive Remover Corrode Car Paint?

If sprayed for a short time, it won't damage the car paint; but if left for too long, it will soften the paint, making it easy to peel off with a fingernail. The exposure time should not exceed one minute, preferably around 30 seconds. For adhesive removal, alternatives like essential balm or alcohol can be used for wiping. When using car adhesive remover, first clean the sticky area with a dry cloth, then spray an appropriate amount evenly, and wipe it off with a damp cloth. Here are some car paint maintenance tips: 1. Avoid washing the car too frequently. Once a month is ideal. Frequent washing can cause friction from the cleaning cloth, gradually damaging the paint surface. If there's only dust on the exterior, washing isn't necessary. 2. Address paint scratches promptly. Over time, small rust spots may form, and if left untreated, rust can spread. In severe cases, it may damage the primer. 3. Try not to park outdoors for extended periods. If long-term parking is unavoidable, consider purchasing a car cover for protection.

How Many Multiple-Choice Questions Are There in Subject 4?

Subject 4 consists of 30 multiple-choice questions, including 20 single-choice questions and 10 multiple-choice questions, with the remaining 10 being true/false questions. The total is 50 questions, primarily presented in the form of case studies, images, and animations. The full score is 100, and a passing score is 90. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: in addition to the road test, a safety and civilization knowledge test was added, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 test. Officially, however, there is no Subject 4. If you fail Subject 4, you do not need to retake the previously passed subjects (Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3). You can schedule a retake on your own, and no retake fee is required. There are no scheduling restrictions, but the validity period of the driving skill permit is three years. If the applicant fails to complete the test within the validity period, the passed subjects' scores will be invalidated.
