You can take Subject Three one month after passing Subject One. Theoretically, Subject Three should be taken after passing Subject Two, but there is no specific regulation on how many days after passing Subject Two it should be scheduled. However, it is stipulated that Subject Two can only be scheduled 20 days after passing Subject One, while Subject Three can be scheduled 30 days after passing Subject One. Driving License Test Content: The test subjects include three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). The order of the test subjects is as follows: traffic regulations and related knowledge (referred to as Subject One [theory]), field driving (referred to as Subject Two [nine items]), and road driving (referred to as Subject Three [road test and safe and civilized driving]). After completing Subject One, you must pass Subject Two and Subject Three within three years. If you fail to do so, the test results will become invalid, and you will need to re-register for Subject One. Under the new regulations, both Subject Two and Subject Three have five attempts. If you fail to pass within these five attempts, you will need to retake Subject One. Subject One is a theoretical test conducted indoors via computer. To prepare, download the corresponding question bank, practice the questions 2-3 times, and memorize the ones you often get wrong. During the test, stay calm, read the questions carefully, and select the correct answers. Subject Three, commonly known as the road test, focuses on road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. Attention to detail is crucial. Before starting, observe the vehicle's structure and fasten your seatbelt. While driving, prioritize safety, maintain a low speed, and perform all required actions properly to minimize point deductions. Common areas for point deductions include acceleration/deceleration in a straight line and making U-turns. Obtaining a driver's license involves four test subjects. Subjects One and Four have no limit on the number of attempts. Note that after passing Subject One, you must pass Subjects Two and Three (including Subject Four) within the three-year validity period. Subjects Two and Three allow for four retakes. Additionally, if you fail the on-site test, you are entitled to one immediate retake.

I remember pondering this issue when I was taking my Subject 1 test. According to regulations, you have to wait 30 days after passing Subject 1 before you can book Subject 3, but the actual situation depends on the local DMV requirements and your driving school's arrangements. In my area, we must first complete Subject 2 before we can even think about Subject 3—it's not something you can schedule so quickly. The specifics also depend on the license type: for C1 manual transmission, it's 30 days after passing Subject 1, while for C2 automatic transmission, it's only 20 days. You also need to accumulate enough training hours before you're allowed to book the test. My advice is to practice driving diligently and not slack off, as solid driving skills are what matter most. When the time comes, remember to ask your instructor to help you schedule the test on the 12123 app, and choose a session with plenty of available slots to be safe.

As a driving instructor for over a decade, I've taught countless students. The scheduling timeline for Subject 3 is actually quite clear: The count starts from the day you obtain your study permit after passing Subject 1. For C1 manual transmission vehicles, you must wait 30 days, while C2 automatic transmission only requires 20 days. But don't celebrate too soon - you must pass Subject 2 before registering for Subject 3. Local implementations may vary; for instance, our province additionally requires completing all training hours. I recommend practicing fundamental operations extensively in the early stages - details like turn signal usage and gear shifting. When the time comes, schedule in advance via the traffic management app, and remember to choose a test route with familiar road conditions.

I just got my license three months ago, and I clearly remember being eager to skip exams right after passing Subject 1. The instructor said no, I had to follow the procedure. For C2 automatic transmission, you can schedule Subject 3 in as little as 20 days, provided you've already passed Subject 2. For C1 manual transmission, it takes 30 days. However, the actual interval is often longer because in our area, you must complete 40 hours of training before you can register. I recommend keeping an eye on the 12123 APP, where you can see the specific registration opening dates. By the way, just a reminder that the learning certificate is valid for three years, but it's best to complete all subjects within six months. Delaying too long can make you rusty.

I've experienced the driver's license test process twice, and the booking rules for Subject 3 are very clear. First, you must obtain the Subject 1 pass certificate, then the cooling period begins. For manual transmission vehicles, it's 30 calendar days, while automatic transmission only requires 20 days. The key point is you must pass Subject 2 before becoming eligible to register. Enforcement varies across cities - some locations still impose training hour requirements. When I took the test, my instructor insisted on completing all road practice sessions before signing off. When the time comes, booking through the mobile app is quite convenient, though you'll need quick fingers to secure a spot as popular test centers fill up within minutes.

What Are the Reasons for Tires Frequently Getting Punctured by Nails?

Tires frequently getting punctured by nails mainly due to three reasons: tire aging or quality issues, poor road conditions, and lack of good driving habits. Generally, driving closer to the centerline reduces the chances of getting punctured compared to driving near the edges. Effective methods to reduce the likelihood of tire punctures by nails: Avoid driving exclusively in the far-right lane. Experienced drivers know that roads are higher in the center and lower on the sides. Nowadays, water sprinklers spray water multiple times a day, washing glass shards, nails, and screws to the right side of the road. Maintain proper tire pressure—neither too high nor too low—according to the manufacturer's recommended pressure (usually indicated on the B-pillar on the driver's side). Incorrect tire pressure makes it easier for nails to puncture the tire while driving. Regularly inspect tires. Remove any nails early to avoid problems on the road. What to do if a tire gets punctured by a nail: First, pour some water (bottled water is fine) on the puncture to check for leaks. If there is no leak, estimate the nail's length based on experience. Nails shorter than 1 cm can usually be pulled out directly. If unsure about the nail's length, drive to a professional tire repair shop to have it removed. If there is a leak, replace the tire with the spare and then visit a professional tire repair shop for a proper fix. Avoid handling it yourself, as this may increase the damage and completely ruin the tire.

Is Compulsory Traffic Insurance Transferred During Vehicle Ownership Transfer?

Yes, it is required. If the compulsory traffic insurance purchased by the original owner follows the vehicle, it will be transferred to the new owner upon the vehicle's ownership transfer. If the compulsory traffic insurance does not follow the vehicle, the owners need to go to the insurance company to complete the transfer procedures for the vehicle insurance. The owner needs to prepare the vehicle's registration book, the new owner's driving license, photocopies of the new and old owners' ID cards, the invoice issued during the used car transaction, and the amendment application form provided by the insurance company to complete the transfer of the compulsory traffic insurance. Important Notes Once a used car is purchased, the transfer procedures for compulsory traffic insurance and other insurances should be completed as soon as possible. Otherwise, if an accident occurs, the beneficiary will still be the original owner, and the new owner will not be able to receive compensation. Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Vehicles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured motor vehicle within the liability limits. The premium is based on the nationally unified standard rates. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies for different vehicle types, primarily influenced by the number of car seats. Compared to the more than 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party insurance, compulsory traffic insurance's exemption scope covers losses caused by intentional actions of the victim, the insured's own property losses, related arbitration and litigation costs, and some indirect losses caused by the accident, with a much broader coverage. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in the accident, compulsory traffic insurance will provide compensation within the liability limits, with no deductible or exemption. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies An electronic insurance policy refers to a digital policy issued by an insurance company using digital signature software and enterprise digital certificates that comply with the PKI system, bearing the electronic signature of the insurance company. An insurance policy, abbreviated as a policy, is the formal written proof of the insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. The insurance policy must fully record the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties to the insurance contract. The content recorded in the insurance policy serves as the basis for both parties to fulfill the contract. The insurance policy is proof of the establishment of the insurance contract. Advantages of Electronic Insurance Policies: Saves paper resources, eliminating the need to print insurance proof labels; Time-saving and convenient, not restricted by time or location, with information universally accessible online anytime, quick and easy; Can apply for reissuance or resending, no need to worry about losing it. If a paper version is needed offline, it can also be printed or mailed; Easy management, with electronic unification making it convenient for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage the insurance information of various vehicles.

What Causes a Manual Transmission Car to Fail Engaging Reverse Gear?

Manual transmission cars may fail to engage reverse gear because the clutch pedal is not fully depressed, or the gear teeth happen to align. Details are as follows: Clutch pedal not fully depressed: When shifting gears in a manual transmission car, the clutch pedal must be fully depressed to engage the gear. Simply pressing the clutch pedal deeper will resolve this issue. Gear teeth alignment: If the teeth of two gears happen to align perfectly, reverse gear cannot be engaged. In this case, shift into a forward gear to rotate the gears slightly, then attempt to engage reverse gear again.
