Should You Press the Brake When Starting in Subject 2?

You must press the brake before starting. Below are the specific details: Starting Procedure: Press the brake, lift the clutch with your left foot—you can lift it quickly at first, but be careful not to overdo it. As you approach the critical point, lift the clutch slowly until you feel the car body shaking noticeably. At this point, you can gradually release the brake. There are two scenarios: First, as soon as you release the brake, the car will start moving. Be sure to keep the clutch steady—do not move your left foot from the clutch position. Only after the car has fully started should you slowly lift the clutch completely. Second, after releasing the brake, the car may not move. This happens when the clutch is lifted exactly to the critical point, balancing between moving and not moving. In this case, the car won’t roll back, though this situation is rare. Still, remain calm and lift the clutch very slowly—just a slight lift will get the car moving.

How long does it take to transfer ownership of a new energy vehicle?

In most regions, the time and procedures for transferring ownership of a new energy vehicle are the same as those for blue-plate fuel vehicles, requiring only vehicle ownership to complete the transfer. Below is more relevant information: 1. Notes to consider: It's important to note that blue-plate fuel vehicles have license plates that follow the person, not the vehicle, whereas new energy license plates follow the vehicle, not the person. This means that when transferring ownership of a new energy vehicle, the license plate must be transferred along with the vehicle. The vehicle and license plate can only be separated six months after the transfer date. 2. Regional government policies: In Shanghai, new energy vehicle license plates must be used for at least 3 years from the date of issuance before they can be transferred or reassigned. If a car owner has a new energy vehicle license plate, they cannot purchase another new energy vehicle even if the current vehicle is transferred. In Shenzhen, new energy vehicles can be transferred within the city one month after obtaining a Shenzhen license plate, but they must meet Shenzhen's new energy vehicle quota requirements. If the vehicle is to be transferred out of the city, it must have been used for at least 2 years from the date of license plate issuance.

What is the function of car rearview mirrors?

The function of car rearview mirrors is to reflect the situation behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly see these areas clearly, serving as "a second pair of eyes". Introduction to rearview mirrors: Rearview mirrors are tools that allow the driver, seated in the driver's seat, to directly obtain external information about the rear, side, and lower parts of the car. For the convenience of the driver's operation, to prevent traffic safety accidents, and to ensure personal safety, all countries stipulate that cars must be equipped with rearview mirrors, and all rearview mirrors must be adjustable in direction. Installation of rearview mirrors: When designing rearview mirrors, the main design considerations include the field of view (indirect vision) that the rearview mirror can obtain, image distortion, image clarity, image size, and the position of the image in the rearview mirror, making it easy to adjust according to changes in the driver's viewpoint. Rearview mirrors should be installed in the position where the car's vertical vibration is minimal.
