According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the validity period of the study driving certificate is three years, but the expiration date must not exceed the upper age limit for application. Applicants must complete the Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams within the validity period. If the exams are not completed within the validity period, the passing scores of any previously passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory exam or driver theory exam, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam content includes theoretical driving knowledge, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The exam format is computer-based, with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the exam and end the session. Subject 1 Exam Content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 Exam Notes: During the Subject 1 exam, students should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the notes and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in the lockers before entering the exam room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score sheet and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject allows one exam attempt, with one retake if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail it, the exam session ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 only allow five exam attempts each, and Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams must be scheduled at least ten days apart. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills exam; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official terminology (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include the term "Subject 4."

Does a new car purchased two years ago require an annual inspection?

According to regulations, a new car requires an annual inspection in its second year. Here is more information about annual inspections: 1. The normal annual inspection process involves taking the vehicle to an inspection station for checks (lights, tires, emissions, etc.), and then receiving the inspection sticker after the vehicle passes. 2. However, don't forget the '6-year exemption' policy, which essentially means you can skip the vehicle inspection part and directly apply for the inspection sticker. Additional information: 1. For passenger vehicles used for commercial purposes, inspections are required once a year within the first 5 years, and every 6 months thereafter. 2. For trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspections are required once a year within the first 10 years, and every 6 months thereafter.

What Causes Water Leakage Under the Car Chassis?

There are several reasons for water leakage under the car chassis: 1. Air conditioning system drainage: During summer, drainage from the air conditioning system is normal. Due to the high temperature inside the car, the cooling system needs to be activated to lower the interior temperature. At this time, moisture from the hot air inside the car condenses on the surface of the evaporator's heat-absorbing fins, which are very cold. The water droplets are collected by the evaporator's plastic housing and drained out of the car through pipes. 2. Water dripping from the muffler and exhaust pipe at the rear of the car: Gasoline is injected into the cylinders and mixed with air. After complete combustion in the combustion chamber, it mainly produces carbon dioxide and water. At high temperatures, water is discharged into the atmosphere in the form of water vapor. Since the muffler is located at the rear of the car where the temperature is relatively low, the water vapor condenses into liquid water. Some of this liquid water is expelled from the exhaust pipe due to the high-speed operation of the engine and the airflow. 3. Lubricant oil leakage: If you notice oil stains on the ground a few hours after parking and restarting the car, it is likely due to engine oil or gear oil leakage. There are many reasons for such leaks, such as broken parts, aging oil pipes, or loose screws. Once oil leakage occurs, it means increased wear on mechanical components. Therefore, it is essential to top up the oil promptly and visit a repair shop to check the issue.

What are the differences between manual transmission and automatic transmission?

The differences between manual transmission and automatic transmission are mainly reflected in four aspects: price, ease of operation, safety performance, and fuel consumption: 1. In terms of price, automatic transmission cars are relatively more expensive for the same class of vehicle. 2. In terms of operation difficulty, the biggest advantage of automatic transmission models is that they are easier to control. Automatic transmissions do not require gear shifting as the system shifts gears automatically, whereas manual transmissions require the driver to shift gears manually. 3. In terms of safety performance, manual transmission models are safer. In emergency situations, manual transmissions can be braked urgently using the foot brake, while automatic transmissions will continue to move a certain distance after the system brakes. 4. In terms of fuel consumption, manual transmission models tend to consume more fuel during normal driving.

What is a car's head-up display?

HUD stands for Head-Up Display, which translates to a head-up display in Chinese. It uses augmented reality technology to project vehicle or road condition information onto the display (primarily the windshield). Different types of HUDs project varying data information such as speed, time, and engine status. Most HUDs use innovative phosphors to project information onto the windshield via lasers. Some HUDs also integrate transparent screens to display critical information. After installing an HUD head-up display in a car, it ensures the driver's safe and stable driving, allowing more focus on observing the road and driving, thereby improving driving safety for each trip. Head-up displays can be categorized into suspended and dashboard types. Suspended HUDs are fixed on the sun visor above the driver, which results in the HUD information being projected onto the upper area of the windshield. Dashboard-type HUDs are fixed on the center console in front of the driver, which determines that the HUD information will be projected onto the front area of the windshield. Cars equipped with head-up displays include: BMW 5 Series Li, Peugeot 3008, Peugeot 508, Audi A6, Audi A7, Lexus GS, and Land Rover Vision concept car, among others.

How to Deal with Car Paint Bubbling?

If the bubbling area of the car paint is small, you can choose to touch it up with the same color paint. If bubbling occurs in multiple parts of the car body, the best solution is to repaint the entire car; otherwise, it will significantly affect the car's appearance. Here are some related car paint maintenance tips: 1. Wash your car regularly. Relying on rain to clean your car is a misconception, as the impact of rainwater on the paint accumulates over time. Initially, it may seem harmless, but prolonged exposure will accelerate paint damage. The correct approach is to rinse your car after rain and wipe it dry. 2. Waxing, glazing, and paint coating can effectively protect the car paint. 3. If substances like asphalt, bird droppings, or chewing gum stick to the paint, clean them off promptly to prevent further corrosion.

What are the reasons for difficult cold engine start?

The reasons for difficult cold engine start can be summarized in the following 5 points: 1. Low engine temperature: The temperature inside the engine is insufficient, and both fuel and lubricant temperatures are too low. Therefore, more fuel should be injected during cold starts to meet power requirements. Poor fuel atomization at low temperatures leads to reduced ignition energy, affecting power output and causing the vehicle to shake. 2. Excessive carbon buildup on valves and intake passages causing cold start difficulties: When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making ignition difficult. Only when the carbon deposits become saturated with gasoline will the engine start more easily. After starting, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits will be drawn into the combustion chamber by the engine's vacuum suction, making the air-fuel mixture too rich. This fluctuation between lean and rich mixtures causes rough idling after a cold start. 3. Faulty coolant temperature sensor: If the engine temperature is -10°C during a cold start but the sensor "tells" the ECU that "the current temperature is 20°C," the ECU will inject fuel based on 20°C conditions, leading to engine shaking. 4. Untimely spark plug replacement: Cold starts require higher ignition energy. After a certain mileage, the electrode gap of spark plugs widens, and when it exceeds the standard, the spark energy generated will significantly weaken, making it unable to properly ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder (commonly known as misfire). 5. Faulty ignition coil: The ignition coil is a transformer responsible for converting the vehicle's low-voltage current into high-voltage electricity, enabling the spark plug to "generate sparks" with sufficient voltage. Once the ignition coil fails, such as due to cracking or leakage, it will result in insufficient or lacking spark plug ignition capability. Consequently, the air-fuel mixture in that cylinder will not combust properly, leading to engine misfire, difficult starts, and acceleration shaking.
