After successfully booking the Subject 1 test, you will receive an SMS reminder approximately three days before the exam. If the booking fails, you will also receive a corresponding SMS notification. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory exam, assesses knowledge of traffic regulations and related content. It consists of 100 questions, and a score of 90 or above is required to pass. The Subject 1 test for the driver's license is conducted on a computer. All theoretical exams are uniformly administered at designated motor vehicle theory test centers using specialized computer systems. Candidates sit in front of a computer to answer questions, with a camera facing their face to prevent cheating. After sitting down, the test questions will not be displayed immediately; candidates must first enter their ID number for identity verification before the exam begins (the steps are straightforward and easy to follow). Article 12 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" specifies certain requirements for drivers regarding age, height, vision, hearing, and color discrimination ability, but there are no restrictions on educational background. However, the Subject 1 test requires candidates to read and understand text-based questions and answer them on a computer, making it more challenging for illiterate candidates to pass. The first session of the Subject 1 test starts at 9:00 AM and ends at 9:45 AM. Additional details: There are two morning sessions for Subject 1—the first at 9:00 AM and the second at 10:00 AM. The afternoon has three sessions at 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, and 3:00 PM. The exam duration is limited to 45 minutes. Since candidates must complete registration before entering the exam room, it is advisable to arrive half an hour early. Subject 1 Exam Notes: To facilitate carrying personal items, you may bring a bag, but it must be stored in a locker before entering the exam room to ensure fairness. Before the exam, relevant personnel will notify you of the exam time. Make sure to set an alarm the day before to avoid being late. Due to the large number of candidates, the exam will not wait for individuals, so manage your time well. Before the exam, a series of physical checks are usually conducted, with the most important being vision and color discrimination ability. A vision score of 5.0 or above is required to pass. Candidates wearing tinted glasses must coordinate with the staff, so be mindful of this requirement. During the exam, your facial features must be visible—avoid wearing masks, scarves, or other items that obscure your face. The computer's camera will take photos during the exam, so dress appropriately beforehand. Candidates must present their ID card and exam admission ticket to enter the exam room. Driving schools typically distribute admission tickets before the exam, so ensure you bring your ID to avoid missing documents. Before the exam, staff will input candidate information into the computer. After entering the exam room, find your assigned seat, verify your information, and begin the exam once confirmed. After completing the exam, click "Submit." If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit and end the test. Follow staff instructions to collect your driving training file in order at the waiting area. Mobile phones must be turned off in the exam area. No loud noises are allowed in the exam area. Regulation textbooks are not permitted in the exam room (or in your bag). After the exam, keep your ID card safe and submit your file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the exam room. Candidates who pass the exam must sign under staff guidance before leaving the exam area. Candidates who fail may leave immediately and await notification from their driving school regarding retake arrangements. Subject 1 Exam Tips: Answers prioritizing safety are generally correct. Actions drivers should avoid (e.g., "should not," "cannot," "must not," "prohibited") are usually correct. Yielding actions (e.g., "stop and yield," "slow down and yield," "give way") are correct. Slow and cautious actions (e.g., "slow pass," "reduce speed," "proceed steadily") are correct. Observational actions (e.g., "slow down and observe," "look left and right," "stop and observe") are correct. Safety confirmations (e.g., "ensure safety," "pass safely," "confirm safety") are correct. Overly aggressive or extreme reactions are usually wrong. Rash decisions (e.g., "just," "only," "merely") are wrong. Quick actions (e.g., "accelerate through," "sudden steering," "emergency brake") are wrong.

Do You Need to Wait for a Traffic Light When Making a U-Turn on a Dotted Line?

If the gap is marked with a dotted line, making a U-turn is not affected by traffic signals and does not require crossing the pedestrian crossing. You can make a U-turn directly as long as it does not interfere with other normally moving vehicles and ensures your own safety. If the gap is marked with a solid line, then making a U-turn requires crossing the pedestrian crossing and is subject to traffic signals. When making a U-turn that requires crossing a pedestrian crossing, you must yield to pedestrians: If pedestrians are walking on the right side of the pedestrian crossing and have not reached the centerline of the road, vehicles on the left side of the road should slow down and proceed cautiously, ensuring safety while allowing pedestrians to cross. If pedestrians are waiting outside the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes and have not entered the roadway, vehicles should slow down and proceed cautiously, ensuring safety while allowing pedestrians to cross. If pedestrians have crossed the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a traffic violation and should be penalized. If pedestrians have entered the motorized lane (Lane A) along the pedestrian crossing, vehicles in Lane B should slow down and proceed cautiously, ensuring safety while allowing pedestrians to cross. If vehicles in Lane A do not stop and yield, it is a violation and should be penalized. If pedestrians are waiting at the centerline of the road without entering the motorized lane, vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. If pedestrians have crossed the centerline of the road and entered the motorized lane, vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. If the road is divided by a green belt and pedestrians are waiting in the central stopping area, vehicles must slow down and proceed cautiously, ensuring safety while allowing pedestrians to cross. Situations where U-turns are allowed: If there is a U-turn sign at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. If there is a U-turn traffic signal, you must follow the signal's instructions. If there is no signal, you can make a U-turn as long as it does not interfere with other vehicles or pedestrians. If there is no explicit prohibition of U-turns or left turns at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. "No explicit prohibition" means there are no signs like "No U-Turn," "No Left Turn," or solid centerlines, in which case you can safely make a U-turn. U-turns are also allowed in yellow grid zones. Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones marked at intersections or important entrances where temporary parking could cause congestion. Stopping on these lines (including waiting for traffic lights) is a violation. However, while parking is prohibited in yellow grid zones, U-turns are allowed as long as there is no central barrier, effectively making it a "U-turn permitted" zone. If there is a U-turn traffic signal at the intersection, you must follow the signal—only proceed on green. If there are both "No Left Turn" and "U-Turn Allowed" signs, U-turns are permitted but left turns are not. Note that "No U-Turn" is not the same as "No Left Turn." Things to note when making a U-turn at an intersection: Check the road markings. If they are solid lines, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable location. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign, even if there is no explicit "No U-Turn" sign, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, you cannot make a U-turn at that intersection. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Proceed only if it does not interfere with their right of way, or you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near the intersection stop line, lanes usually have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane is not always a left-turn lane—if it has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even if there are no explicit "No U-Turn" signs.

Why Is There Abnormal Noise When Stepping on the Accelerator in a Car?

Abnormal noise when stepping on the accelerator in a car is usually caused by excessive gaps in components such as the drive shaft, poor lubrication, or improper assembly during repairs, resulting in friction-generated sounds when high torque is output. Abnormal noises can be divided into three categories: Abnormal noises (unusual sounds) can be classified based on their impact on vehicle performance as minor noises, moderate noises, and severe noises. Minor noises, such as sparking from high-voltage leakage or slight looseness in rolling bearings, are generally low in volume and do not significantly affect component wear over time. These issues can often be ignored while maintaining normal vehicle operation. Moderate noises, such as those from flywheel bearings or clutch release bearings, have a noticeable impact on vehicle performance but can still sustain key technical functions in the short term. These noises are usually louder and indicate greater component wear, requiring timely repairs. Accelerator Pedal Issues: When starting the engine, the engine oil temperature may not have reached its normal operating value, leading to viscosity unsuitable for the hydraulic lifter's optimal performance. Reduced sealing in the hydraulic lifter can produce noise. If accelerator pedal issues occur while driving a new car, remain calm. The only reasonable solution, as recommended by professionals, is to firmly press the brake pedal, bring the vehicle to a complete stop, turn off the engine, and then contact for assistance. When starting the engine, avoid fully depressing the accelerator pedal; slightly higher than idle throttle is preferable.

What to Do When the Car Temperature is Too Low in Winter?

In winter, if the car temperature is too low, the engine coolant temperature should be adjusted. Here are some details about low car temperatures in winter: 1. Low Temperature: Excessively low temperatures can make it difficult to ignite the air-fuel mixture or cause delayed combustion, leading to reduced engine power. The engine oil may thicken due to the low temperature, increasing viscosity and resistance to moving parts. Additionally, unvaporized fuel can wash over the cylinder and piston. 2. Oil Dilution: During engine operation, a significant amount of heat is dissipated by the cooling medium. Therefore, maintaining the proper coolant temperature and minimizing unnecessary heat loss are crucial for improving fuel efficiency in vehicles.

What Type of Vehicle is a Bus?

A bus belongs to the category of public transportation vehicles, specifically urban coaches, also known as buses or coaches. It is a typical model among large and medium-sized passenger vehicles, designed and equipped as commercial vehicles specifically for urban and suburban transportation. Definition of a Bus: The term "bus" originates from Cantonese, a transliteration of the English word "BUS," and is synonymous with public transportation vehicles. It refers to motor vehicles that operate on fixed routes within urban areas, with or without fixed schedules, transporting passengers. Generally, buses have a square-shaped exterior, windows, and seating arrangements. They are also referred to as public transit vehicles, public buses, or simply buses, where "public transit" is the abbreviation for public transportation. In Taiwan, they are known as public vehicles, passenger coaches, or buses, while in Hong Kong and Macau, they are predominantly called buses (a transliteration of the English word "Bus"). Public Transportation Vehicles: From a design and technical perspective, public transportation vehicles differ from other large and medium-sized passenger vehicles (such as long-distance coaches, tourist buses, group coaches, etc.). These vehicles are equipped with passenger seats and aisles for standing and moving, requiring ample standing space, wide aisles and entry/exit points, and more than one door with low steps. In the case of suburban buses, which are primarily used for medium-distance passenger transport between towns, they tend to have more seats compared to urban buses and may also include luggage compartments or racks.

What is the function of a car central locking system?

Car central locking system functions to prevent doors from being opened. Below is a partial introduction about car central locking: 1. Central locking: This refers to the switch on the driver's side door. It is a control setting that can simultaneously operate the opening and closing of all vehicle doors. Once activated, people inside the car cannot open the doors unless they lift the window switch. 2. Central door locks: The structure consists of door lock switches, door lock actuators, electromagnetic types, DC motor types, and permanent magnet motor types. When the driver locks the door beside them, all other doors are simultaneously locked. The driver can use the door lock switch to open all doors at once or open a specific door individually.

What is the weight of the Sundiro Honda variator roller?

Sundiro Honda variator rollers weigh around 15-16 grams. Variator Rollers: Generally, the weight of the original variator rollers is designed by considering various usage conditions, making it the most reasonable weight, and it is not advisable to change it casually. If you intend to modify the rollers, heavier rollers may slightly improve top speed, but acceleration performance at medium speeds and climbing ability will decrease. Lighter rollers have the opposite effect, providing slightly quicker acceleration at low to medium speeds, but potentially reducing the top speed, making it harder to reach maximum velocity. In other words, whether you opt for heavier or lighter rollers, the drawbacks tend to outweigh the original benefits, and the expected performance improvement in any specific aspect may be minimal. Heavier Variator Rollers: Due to greater centrifugal force, even with slight rotation, the rollers can quickly reach the outer edge of the pulley, effectively increasing the diameter of the drive pulley and reducing the gear ratio. This causes the driven pulley shoes to quickly engage with the clutch bell, propelling the motorcycle forward. In other words, it allows for low-RPM starts and may even increase top speed because heavier rollers can easily be flung to the outermost edge of the variator pulley. Lighter Variator Rollers: Due to lower centrifugal force, higher RPMs are required to fling the rollers outward. Increased RPM naturally leads to higher fuel consumption and may even reduce top speed because lighter rollers struggle to reach the outermost edge of the variator pulley, preventing the drive pulley from achieving its maximum diameter, which consequently affects top speed.
