The license is valid on the day it is issued. Newly licensed drivers, in addition to having a probationary period, must also adhere to several regulations. The probationary period for a driver's license lasts 12 months, during which all vehicles driven by the probationary driver must display a uniform probationary sign printed by the traffic management department on the rear of the vehicle. Here is some extended information: 1. Demerit points during the probationary period: The first year is for probationary drivers, and they must not accumulate 12 demerit points during this period. If 12 points are accumulated, the driver's license will be revoked. After revocation, the individual must reapply, study, take the test, and obtain a new driver's license. 2. Driving on highways during the probationary period: If driving on highways is necessary during the probationary period, a driver with more than 3 years of driving experience must accompany in the front passenger seat.

Below is an introduction to the content of Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests: 1. Introduction to Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It refers to the field driving skill test. For small cars (C1 and C2), the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. 2. Content of Subject 3: The test includes preparation before driving, simulated light test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and night driving.

What does it mean to gently release the accelerator pedal?

The accelerator pedal, also known as the throttle pedal, primarily controls the opening of the engine throttle valve, thereby regulating the engine's power output. Traditional accelerator pedals are connected to the throttle valve via a throttle cable or linkage. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. General principles: Press gently and release slowly, accelerate in a straight line, apply force softly, avoid abruptness, master the toe technique, and prevent sudden jerks. 2. Normal driving conditions: Avoid aggressive acceleration while driving; instead, press the accelerator smoothly, keeping the pedal within approximately half of its travel range. Adopt the "early upshift" method: after starting the vehicle, first accelerate with relatively strong throttle input until reaching the 1st to 2nd gear shift point range of 20-30km/h, then quickly release the accelerator pedal for about 2 seconds.

Can I Pick Up the Car on Saturdays and Sundays?

As long as the 4S dealership is open, you can pick up the car any day. Here are some relevant details: 1. New car license plate: You just need to make an appointment with the 4S dealership in advance. However, the license plate might not be ready when you pick up the car because the registration process takes time, and some involved departments may be closed on weekends. But this does not affect picking up the car. You can use a temporary license plate first and complete the formal registration procedures after the official plate is issued. 2. Precautions for new car buyers when picking up the car: Inspect the exterior of the car, check the engine compartment and undercarriage for any signs of repairs, pay attention to the body gaps, open the doors to observe if the paint inside and outside the car matches, and ensure the car windows are intact. Inspect the interior space carefully—this step is crucial, especially for high-end cars with luxurious features. Be patient and check configurations such as multimedia, storage compartments, lights, audio system, air conditioning, seats, seat belts, and power windows thoroughly.

What Causes the Clicking Sound When Braking in a BMW X3?

BMW X3 braking noise reasons are as follows: Brake pad quality: Substandard brake pads can produce abnormal noises during braking and may also damage the brake discs. It is necessary to replace them with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) brake pads at an authorized 4S dealership. Foreign objects in brake discs: When driving on complex road conditions, wheels can easily fling stones or other debris. If a stone gets lodged between the brake pad and disc, it will create noise during braking. Prompt removal of the foreign object is required. Severely worn brake discs: Friction between brake pads and heavily worn brake discs can also generate abnormal sounds. Timely replacement of the brake discs is necessary. Severely worn brake pads: After prolonged use, brake pads naturally thin due to continuous friction. Excessively thin pads not only reduce braking efficiency but also harden in material, causing noise during braking. Immediate replacement of the brake pads is the solution.

How to Master Clutch Control?

Correct techniques for controlling the clutch: 1. Avoid unnecessary clutch pressing: During normal driving, the clutch is in a fully engaged state without slippage. Clutch disengagement is controlled by pressing the clutch pedal. Except for starting the car, shifting gears, and low-speed braking, avoid keeping your foot on the clutch pedal unnecessarily. Prolonged foot placement on the clutch pedal while driving can easily cause clutch slippage, clutch plate burning, and in severe cases, damage to the clutch pressure plate, flywheel surface, or even annealing of the clutch pressure spring. 2. Apply proper force when pressing the clutch: Avoid using only your toes or lifting your heel off the floor to prevent insufficient force or slipping. Press the clutch pedal all the way to the floor to ensure complete disengagement and prevent wear from prolonged partial engagement. 3. Correct operation during starting: The key to clutch pedal operation when starting is "quick initial press, slow engagement, and coordinated movement." Before starting, it's advisable to test the clutch pedal once to familiarize yourself with its free play, working travel, and pedal feel.
