You must pass subjects two, three, and four within 3 years after passing subject one, otherwise your test qualification will be canceled. The number of appointments for subject two and subject three cannot exceed five times. If exceeded, you will have to start over from subject one.

I started getting my driver's license last year, and I remember clearly that the validity period begins from the day you pass Subject 1, lasting exactly three years. You must complete Subjects 2, 3, and 4 within these three years, or your results will be invalid. I almost dragged it out too long back then, but luckily my coach reminded me to start practicing. Think about it, the practical training for Subjects 2 and 3 takes time, and just signing up requires waiting for a slot. If you fail in the last month, all your effort goes to waste. My advice is to schedule the practical training right after passing the theory test and set a phone reminder so you don’t forget. If it expires, starting from scratch is both costly and frustrating—better to get it done early and save the hassle. I also learned the importance of time management.

From the experience of getting a driver's license, the three-year validity period starts counting immediately after passing Subject 1. The calculation method is straightforward: you must complete all tests within three years from the day you pass Subject 1. When I was younger, I was lazy and procrastinated, almost letting it expire and having to start over—fortunately, I made it just in time. Now, when giving advice to friends, I always say not to underestimate the practice required for Subject 2; the field test is tough to prepare for and takes months of effort. Once the validity period expires, if you haven't finished, your Subject 1 results will be reset, and you'll have to start the application process all over again. It's crucial to plan carefully—after passing the theory test, schedule driving lessons right away. Don’t wait too long and get rusty, wasting both opportunities and money. This experience has taught me the value of taking timely action in life—less regret, more achievement.

I've helped many people obtain their driver's licenses and know the three-year validity period is a strict rule: The countdown starts on the day you pass Subject 1 (Theory Test), and you must complete all tests from Subject 2 to Subject 4 before the deadline. If you fail to finish within this period, your results will be voided, and you'll have to start over from Subject 1. A common issue is that some trainees slack off after registration, procrastinate, and miss the deadline, wasting all their practice. My advice is to start practicing Subject 2 immediately after passing the theory test because it's the most challenging to master and requires extra time. Always remember your Subject 1 test date, use an app to track your progress, and ensure both road safety and smooth test completion.

How to Turn on the Air Conditioning When the Car Windows Fog Up on Rainy Days?

Methods to defog car windows on rainy days by using air conditioning: Turn on the external air circulation to introduce outside air into the car, which can remove fog more quickly. Direct the air conditioning airflow to the front windshield to defog it, thereby reducing the temperature difference on both sides of the glass. When the rear window fogs up, use the rear window heating function to evaporate the fog. Solutions to defog car windows on rainy days: 1. Open the windows: Open two diagonally opposite windows in the car to help remove fog. 2. Use anti-fog spray: Apply anti-fog spray to prevent water vapor from condensing on the glass. One application can prevent fogging for about ten days.

Will the traffic police check modified front splitters and side skirts?

If you file the modification with the vehicle management office, the traffic police will not check it. Installing front splitters and side skirts is considered an exterior modification. Here is some additional information: 1. Reasons for modification: Many car modification enthusiasts like to install front splitters and side skirts on their cars. After installation, the car's chassis appears lower, and it also enhances the vehicle's appearance. Some front splitters can even serve an aerodynamic function, as can some side skirts. 2. Preventing damage: When installing front splitters and side skirts, it is essential to go to a professional shop to ensure they are securely installed. If you have installed these modifications, you must be cautious when driving on rough, unpaved roads. Some car owners even opt for carbon fiber front splitters, which can be costly to replace if damaged. Front splitters are highly susceptible to damage during daily use, so careful consideration is necessary before installation.

Why is there no sound when playing music despite the Bluetooth being connected in the Buick Excelle?

The Buick Excelle's Bluetooth is connected but there is no sound when playing music due to the multimedia volume on the phone not being turned on, incompatibility between the music playback program and certain car models' pairing codes, the car's Bluetooth multimedia music not being enabled, or signal interference from the Bluetooth function. If the volume on the car's navigation system or the phone is not turned on, there will be no sound from the car's Bluetooth. Simply increase the volume on both devices. Some phones (such as the iPhone) have music playback programs that are incompatible with certain car models' pairing codes, allowing only phone calls but not music playback. It is recommended to switch the Bluetooth playback frequency band to resolve this issue. The car's Bluetooth multimedia music is not enabled. Locate the multimedia option on the screen, enter it, and select Bluetooth for music playback. The media audio on the phone is not turned off, causing signal interference with the Bluetooth function. Go to the phone's Bluetooth settings, disable the media audio, and keep the phone audio enabled.
