If you fail the subject 4 test, you can schedule another test after an interval of more than 10 days. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": Article 44 Each subject test can be taken once, and if the test is failed, a make-up test can be taken once. If you do not take the make-up test or still fail the make-up test, this test will be terminated, and the applicant must schedule the test again, but the subject 2 and subject 3 tests must be scheduled 10 days later. If you fail the subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test, the passed road driving skill test scores remain valid. Within the validity period of the learning driving certificate, the number of scheduled tests for subject 2 and subject 3 road driving skill tests must not exceed five times. If the fifth scheduled test is still failed, the passed scores of other subjects will be invalidated. Here is an introduction to the driver's license test: The content of the driver's license test is divided into subject 1, subject 2, subject 3, and subject 4. Each subject test has two chances. Only after passing all four subjects can you obtain a motor vehicle driver's license. The probation period after obtaining the motor vehicle driver's license is one year.

Last time I failed the subject four test and had to wait about 10 days before scheduling the second attempt. This is a mandatory waiting period to give examinees time to review. I was quite frustrated at the time, but in retrospect, the failure was mainly due to inadequate preparation—I hadn't practiced enough mock questions and got confused by the real exam questions. During those 10 days, I downloaded the Traffic Management 12123 app and practiced daily, especially focusing on challenging areas like traffic signs and emergency handling. Don't dwell too much on the number of failures—theoretically, you can retake it indefinitely, though each attempt requires the same waiting period. The key is to maintain a positive mindset, review thoroughly before retaking, and never compromise on safe driving standards.

What are the new regulations for annual inspection of 5-seater vehicles in 2021?

2021 new regulations for annual inspection of 5-seater vehicles: Non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats (excluding minivans) are included in the exemption range, exempting them from on-site inspections within 6 years, only requiring applying for inspection marks every two years. Regulation 2: For vehicles older than 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection cycle is relaxed from once a year to once every two years, meaning private cars only need on-site inspections twice within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. For private cars older than 10 years, the original inspection cycle still applies, i.e., once a year for 10-15 years, and once every six months for those older than 15 years. Annual inspection precautions: During the annual inspection, the vehicle management office will check the vehicle's lights. If the lights are found to be too dim or too bright, the vehicle will be deemed unqualified and will not pass the annual inspection. If the lights are too dim, check the light circuits and whether the bulbs are aging, and replace related parts if necessary. If xenon headlights have been installed, it is recommended to restore the original headlights before the annual inspection to pass the test.

What are the consequences of not handling vehicle violations for more than 30 days?

For on-site law enforcement violations, fines must be paid within 15 days, otherwise a late fee of 3% of the fine amount will be charged daily until the total late fee equals the fine amount. For non-on-site law enforcement violations, they only need to be handled before the end of the scoring cycle. For online violation handling, the violation fine must be paid within 30 days after confirming the violation, otherwise a daily late fee of 3% will also be charged. If there are more than 5 unhandled violations, the vehicle will be detained if caught by traffic police on-site, and the detention will be lifted only after all violations are handled. Regulations related to accumulating 12 points on a driver's license: Learning relevant legal knowledge: Motor vehicle drivers must report to the traffic management department of the public security organ at the place where the motor vehicle driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to participate in a seven-day study of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After the motor vehicle driver completes the study, the vehicle management office must conduct a road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test within 20 days. Handling of test pass or fail: If the test is passed, the points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be returned. If the test is failed, the driver must continue to participate in the study and test. If the driver refuses to participate in the study or take the test, the traffic management department of the public security organ will announce the suspension of the motor vehicle driver's license. Road driving skills test: If a motor vehicle driver reaches 12 points or more twice in a scoring cycle or accumulates 24 points or more, the vehicle management office must also conduct a road driving skills test within 10 days after passing the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test.

What are the precautions for running-in a new car?

Here are the specific precautions during the car running-in period: 1. Avoid emergency braking: During the running-in period, try to avoid emergency braking as much as possible. Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during the running-in process but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. 2. Avoid overloading: Running a new car at full load during the running-in period can cause damage to components. To reduce the load on the body and powertrain, choose relatively flat roads to avoid vibration, collision, or emergency braking. 3. Avoid long-distance driving: During the running-in period, long-distance driving increases the continuous working time of the engine, which can easily lead to component wear.

Can You Mix Gasoline from Different Gas Stations?

You can mix gasoline from different gas stations as long as the octane rating is the same, but make sure to refuel at reputable gas stations. There may be slight differences in fuel quality between different gas stations due to varying sources of crude oil, but refineries produce gasoline according to national standards, so even if the octane values differ slightly, the variation is minimal. It is recommended that car owners follow the fuel grade indicated on the fuel tank cap when refueling. When selecting engine oil, strictly adhere to the oil grade specified for your vehicle. If the same grade is unavailable, you may use a higher-grade oil, but never substitute with a lower-grade oil to avoid engine knocking.
