Does the S-curve in Subject 2 deduct points for the car body touching the line?

In Subject 2's S-curve, touching the line with the front of the car does not deduct points. Below is a detailed introduction to turning in Subject 2: 1. Slow speed: Before entering the curve, the speed must be slowed down, with the key being to straighten the car body. 2. Control lateral distance: The vehicle should slowly move close to the outer edge line of the road, maintaining a lateral distance where the outer wheels are about 30cm from the outer edge line, and proceed parallel. 3. Find the right moment to turn: When the front of the car approaches the turning point, turn the steering wheel quickly without delay. When the front bumper aligns with the protruding point, swiftly turn the steering wheel to the extreme left (right) position. Avoid pressing the accelerator pedal abruptly. 4. Stop and check: First, check if the front can pass, then proceed slowly and carefully. For curves that are uncertain or less certain, you can stop and check in advance. During the process, stay calm and composed, always paying attention to the movement of the car body and the position changes of the wheels. If conditions allow, you can pass slowly under the guidance of others.

I just passed Subject 2 last year, and the S-curve section really requires attention to the issue of the car body touching the line. During practice, my coach repeatedly emphasized that if the car body touches the sideline, it would result in an immediate 100-point deduction leading to failure. The test requires the vehicle to neither press against nor cross the line on the curve, not even a slight touch is allowed. At first, I thought it wasn't a big deal if the car body touched the line, but I failed my first mock test because of this. Later, I realized that I needed to focus on looking ahead and checking the rearview mirror, keep the speed under 10km/h, and make slight adjustments to the steering wheel without being too hasty. I recommend practicing several times, having a friend observe and remind you from the side, and getting familiar with the car's position sense on the curve. This way, you can avoid mistakes like touching the line and pass the test on the first try without any problem.

I have taught many students for the Subject 2 driving test, and in the S-curve section, if the car body touches the line, it will definitely result in points deduction, often a full 100-point penalty leading to failure. The rules require that neither the wheels nor the car body should touch the edge lines while driving. During practice, it's best to find a clear road marking and align the car within the lines, avoiding driving too fast or too slow. Some people overlook the side mirror view, resulting in the car body brushing the edge without them even realizing it, leading to lost points during the test. This habit is also crucial in daily driving to avoid scratches. Before the test, reviewing video tutorials multiple times or seeking advice from experienced individuals can help master the steering angle of the car's front, reducing such risks and ensuring a smooth pass.

I enjoy studying driving techniques, and the issue of the car body touching the line in the S-curve during Subject 2 is a major pitfall in the test. Touching the boundary line directly results in a full-point deduction, which stems from the strict requirements for spatial control in the curve driving segment. During practice, it's essential to focus on the car's dynamic movements and not rely solely on intuition. I've noticed that beginners tend to get nervous, either oversteering or not steering steadily enough, leading to line-touching mistakes. I recommend installing a dash cam to review the driving path afterward, observing where deviations are significant and making timely adjustments. Although the test rules are stringent, they help cultivate precise control skills, which are beneficial for future road driving. Accumulating a few tips and tricks can make it easier to handle.

Reasons and Solutions for the Flashing of the Buick Excelle HOLD Light

The HOLD light indicates the transmission's snow mode. If it keeps flashing, it means the transmission is in hold mode. Press the [HOLD] button to see if it disappears. Open the transmission oil drain bolt and let a little transmission oil out to check if the color of the transmission oil is normal and whether there are any metal shavings in it. Turn the ignition switch to the [OFF] position, use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the solenoid valve pins, and compare it with the rated value to determine if it is functioning properly. Connect a diagnostic tool directly to the OBD port to view the fault codes recorded in the vehicle's computer, and troubleshoot the faults one by one based on the fault codes.

What do the control levers on the right side of the steering wheel represent?

The adjustment lever on the right side of the steering wheel controls the wipers and windshield washer system. There are adjustment levers on both the upper and lower sides of the steering wheel. The left lever adjusts the lighting system, while the right lever controls the wipers and windshield washer. Below is relevant information about the steering wheel: Function: The steering wheel's function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the steering wheel's edge into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Grip Method: If you imagine the steering wheel as a clock face, the correct hand position is to place the left hand between the 9 and 10 o'clock positions and the right hand between the 3 and 4 o'clock positions. In the event of a collision, this posture provides better support for the body.

What is the matching method for Honda's reversing radar?

Remove the rear bumper, then locate the reversing radar probe, and push it out from the inside of the bumper with force. Be careful not to pull it hard. Connect the red wire harness of the main unit to the reversing line, and the white wire harness to the brake line. Then connect the reversing radar display and sensor harness to the main unit. Start the engine, press the brake, and shift to R gear. At this time, the central control screen will display the reversing image. Check the video effect and viewing angle. Observe the warning area on the dashboard. Generally, a fault code will appear after replacing a new reversing radar. Use a decoder or computer to clear the fault code.
