Subject 2 can be scheduled up to 5 times, with an additional retake opportunity on the spot, totaling 10 chances. The key to passing Subject 2 lies in extensive practice and adhering to standard procedures. Therefore, failing three times is not a big deal. What you need to do now is practice intensively before the test. If you can pass 8 out of 10 practice runs, you're ready to retake the exam. Here's an introduction to Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, specifically the field driving skills test. For small vehicles C1 and C2, the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-turns).

What does it mean when a car displays a wrench symbol?

A car displaying a wrench symbol is the manufacturer's way of reminding the owner that the vehicle requires maintenance, as they have set up a maintenance reminder function. Different car models from various companies have different preset maintenance intervals. The maintenance cycle is predetermined when the vehicle leaves the factory, so the small wrench symbol will appear after a certain mileage, typically every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers. However, the original factory setting may extend beyond 8,000 kilometers. Car maintenance primarily includes servicing the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent malfunctions, slow down deterioration, and extend the vehicle's lifespan.

How to Determine if the Ignition Coil is Faulty?

Methods to determine if the ignition coil is faulty: 1. At idle, the vehicle body shakes noticeably, and the exhaust gas flow from the tailpipe shows obvious intermittency, accompanied by severe shaking of the tailpipe; 2. The shaking sensation disappears when the engine speed exceeds 2500 RPM; 3. Open the engine hood and observe the running engine—if there is significant shaking that clearly deviates from normal engine operation, with large amplitude vibrations. As gasoline engines evolve toward higher speeds, higher compression ratios, greater power, lower fuel consumption, and reduced emissions, traditional ignition systems no longer meet the requirements. The core components of the ignition system are the ignition coil and the switching device. Increasing the energy of the ignition coil enables the spark plug to generate sufficient spark energy, which is the fundamental condition for the ignition system to adapt to modern engine operation.

Does registering with Didi make the vehicle a commercial vehicle?

Registering with Didi does not automatically convert the vehicle into a commercial vehicle. Below are specific details regarding commercial vehicles: 1. Introduction: The company is the owner of the commercial vehicle. In the event of a traffic accident, the victim can seek compensation from the driver. Apart from the insurance company's compensation, if the driver is still unable to bear the costs, the owner, i.e., the company to which the vehicle belongs, will be responsible. 2. Classification: According to the "Provisional Regulations on Road Transport Management" issued in 1986 in China, road transport is divided into two types: commercial and non-commercial. Commercial transport refers to road transport that provides services to the public and involves various forms of fee settlement; non-commercial transport refers to road transport that serves the production and daily life of the unit itself and does not involve fee settlement.

How to Judge Distance Using the Left Rearview Mirror?

Method for judging distance with the left rearview mirror: First, imagine a vertical line dividing the left quarter of the left rearview mirror from top to bottom. This line serves as the boundary - the left quarter is the danger zone, while the right three-quarters is the safe zone. When the body of the rear vehicle enters the danger zone on the left side of the mirror, it indicates the rear vehicle is extremely close to your car. When the rear vehicle's body approaches the imaginary line, at the boundary between the safe and danger zones, the distance between vehicles is approximately 9 meters. When the rear vehicle is positioned at the center or right side of the rearview mirror, the distance between vehicles is about 20 meters, which is the standard safe zone where normal turning maneuvers can be performed without issues.

How to Determine if the Front of the Car Doesn't Cross the Line?

To determine whether the front of the car crosses the line, you can rely on reference points on the ground and on the car. You may use the rearview mirror on the driver's side door and the lines on the ground as reference points to judge whether the car crosses the line. At traffic light intersections, there are usually many lines on the ground. When slowing down after seeing the red light, drivers can observe the lines on the ground and their rearview mirrors. When learning driving techniques at driving schools, instructors teach students to use the lines on the ground as reference points, check the small rearview mirror on the car’s front, and also look at the large rearview mirror on the door. This method taught by driving instructors is quite effective. After repeated practice, students can smoothly park the car without crossing the lines.
