There are three scenarios for the timing of the subject four exam after passing subject three: taking it directly on the same afternoon; within 9 days without an appointment, where you can go to the subject four test site with your ID card within 9 days after passing subject three; and third, scheduling after 10 days, where the success of the appointment depends on the current number of examinees, the priority of the students, and temporary arrangements at the test site. Subject four, also known as the theoretical test for subject four or the driver's theoretical test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It includes requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, knowledge of safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and knowledge of post-accident procedures. Notes for the subject four exam: Exam duration: The exam lasts 45 minutes, and making 10 mistakes (5 questions) during the test will terminate the session. Number of questions: Depending on the type of driver's license being tested, 50 questions are proportionally selected from the corresponding subject four question bank, with each question worth 2 points. Question types: The exam includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions, with questions featuring animations, images, scenario recognition, and text descriptions. Retake notes: If you fail subject four, you only need to retake subject four. The driving school will schedule the retake, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. You can retake until you pass, and no retake fees are required for subject four. Subject four exam tips: Strengthen error-prone areas by identifying the reasons for mistakes. For marked questions, do not just memorize the correct answers. Instead, consult regulations, textbooks, or reference books to understand and digest the reasons for errors. Categorize and summarize test questions by referring to the question bank analysis to find similar questions: Many questions in the bank are similar and easily confused, so they should be analyzed and summarized. For example, traffic signs for walking, hiking, pedestrian attention, crosswalks, and crosswalk attention have similar patterns and can be confusing. Learning them by category reduces mistakes. Find memory techniques: Many questions in the bank involve numbers, which can be summarized for easier memorization. There are three main subjects in the driving test: subject one, subject two, and subject three, with subject three divided into two parts. Subject four is the colloquial term for the subject three safety and civilized driving knowledge test and is not a separate subject. Subject one refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; subject two is the field driving skills test; and subject three is the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after subject three.

Just passed the road test and eager to get your driver's license? Actually, many places now support taking the final theory test (Subject 4) on the same day. Major cities like Shenzhen and Hangzhou have implemented this convenient policy. Last year in Chengdu, I benefited from this - after passing Subject 3, I just signed some papers and walked straight into the theory exam room, receiving my warm-off-the-press license two hours later. Of course, specific arrangements depend on local DMV policies - some smaller cities may require 2-3 days for system synchronization. It's advisable to check with your instructor beforehand and schedule Subject 4 in advance via the 12123 traffic management app. Most importantly, make sure to thoroughly study the Subject 4 question bank beforehand, so you won't be caught off guard when the consecutive testing opportunity arises.

What lights should be used when driving a motor vehicle at night?

Light usage for motor vehicles driving at night: 1. If the speed is below 30 kilometers per hour, low beam should be used. Under normal conditions, the light can illuminate beyond 30 meters. When passing through an intersection, reduce speed in advance and switch from high beam to low beam. If turning, activate the turn signal in advance; 2. When the distance to oncoming vehicles is about 150 meters, switch from high beam to low beam in advance to avoid affecting the driver's visibility during the meeting process; 3. When driving on national highways with fewer vehicles or roads without streetlights, use high beam. When the high beam is on, a prominent blue light on the dashboard will illuminate as a reminder. Switch to low beam promptly when meeting other vehicles; 4. In case of sudden vehicle malfunction, pull over to the side of the road in time. When towing, the hazard warning flashers should be activated promptly.

How to Use the Rearview Camera?

The usage method of the rearview camera: 1. The rearview camera will automatically activate when the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear; 2. The image displayed by the rearview camera is captured in real-time by the rear camera. Due to the distortion caused by the camera's imaging, it can easily lead to misjudgment of obstacle distances by the driver. Therefore, when judging distances, it is advisable to rely on the more accurate distance feedback provided by the parking sensors; 3. Almost all rearview cameras come with a parking trajectory system. This system simulates the wheel's path using two dashed lines, which will deflect as the steering wheel is turned, thereby further enhancing parking safety.

Should the positive or negative terminal be connected first when installing a car battery?

When installing a car battery, connect the positive terminal first followed by the negative terminal. When removing, disconnect the negative terminal first and then the positive terminal. Incorrect operation can lead to serious consequences. Reason: The car itself is a negatively charged system. If the negative terminal is connected first, it may cause a short circuit in the car's equipment. By connecting the positive terminal first and securing it properly, even if the negative terminal of the battery comes into contact with the car's negative parts, it won't cause a short circuit, effectively protecting the vehicle and extending its service life. Battery installation steps: 1. Place the new battery in the corresponding battery tray, aligning the positions of the positive and negative terminals; 2. First attach the positive terminal clamp, then attach the negative terminal clamp; 3. Confirm that the connections are correct and close the engine hood.

How Many Kilometers Should Transmission Fluid Be Replaced?

Transmission fluid is divided into manual transmission fluid and automatic transmission fluid. For manual transmission fluid, it is recommended to replace it every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers; for automatic transmission fluid, the manufacturer requires an active inspection every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers (whichever comes first). Based on professional testing, the replacement can also be determined by observing the color. The functions of transmission fluid are as follows: 1. Heat dissipation: The interaction between gears generates a significant amount of heat, which requires lubrication oil for dissipation. 2. Lubrication: It makes gear engagement smoother. 3. Cleaning: It keeps the shifting system clean and extends the lifespan of the transmission components.

Should You Use One Foot or Two Feet When Driving an Automatic Car?

When driving an automatic car, the driver should use the right foot to operate both the accelerator and brake pedals, rather than using both feet, as this can pose safety risks. Here are the reasons why the right foot is recommended for operating the accelerator and brake in an automatic car: 1. The right foot offers much finer and more precise control compared to the left foot. 2. In automatic cars, the accelerator and brake pedals are designed on the right side. Using the left foot to brake can cause the body to lose balance and tilt involuntarily. While light to moderate braking might be manageable, during hard braking, the body tends to shift forward due to inertia, and the foot instinctively seeks a support point. If the left foot is not resting on the dead pedal for support, the standard car seat may not be able to secure the driver's body, potentially leading to braking failure.
