Subject one test scores are valid for 3 years. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", after passing the subject one test, the vehicle management office should issue a learning driving certificate within 1 day. The learning driving certificate is valid for 3 years, and the subject one test scores will remain valid until the end of the validity period. Subject one test process: Follow the staff's arrangement and receive your own driving training file in order in the waiting area; Bring and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; Mobile phones must be turned off when entering the test area; No loud noise is allowed in the test area; Regulation textbooks are not allowed to be brought into the test area (or put into bags); After the test, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Certificate Submission Window" at the front of the test area; Candidates who pass the test should sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit of the test area and then leave; Candidates who fail the test can leave the test area immediately and wait for the driving school staff to notify them of the retest time.

I remember when I was getting my driver's license, the instructor specifically emphasized the validity period of the subject one test results. After passing subject one, the DMV issues a learning driving permit, which is valid for exactly three years. This means that from the day you pass subject one, you must complete subjects two, three, and the theoretical test (subject four) within three years. If you don't finish within three years, unfortunately, your subject one results will be invalidated, and you'll have to re-register, pay the fees, and take the test again. Many people initially think three years is a long time, but in reality, scheduling training and tests takes a lot of time, especially for working professionals who often rush as the deadline approaches. My advice is to arrange continuous training right after passing subject one, leaving yourself enough buffer time for retakes.

Several of my friends work as instructors at driving schools, and they always remind students about this three-year validity period. In fact, the subject one exam doesn't have a separate validity period; it's tied to the entire driver's learning certificate. The countdown starts from the day you pass subject one, and you must complete the remaining practical and theoretical exams within this period. I've seen many students procrastinate, only starting to practice subject three in the last two months, failing twice and then exceeding the deadline, wasting all their previous time and money. Now, the new driving test regulations require logging practice hours, and scheduling exams isn't as fast as before, so it's best to plan your time in advance. Although three years might sound like a long time, it actually passes by very quickly.

According to the driving test regulations, the validity period of the subject one test score is exactly three years. The countdown starts once you obtain the study certificate after passing subject one, and all scores will be reset upon expiration. This time limit is mainly designed to ensure trainees have sufficient time for practice while preventing indefinite delays. Currently, in many cities, test appointments require queuing, and with a high number of driving school students or limited test sessions, it might take up to two months to secure a slot. Therefore, even if you pass each subject on the first attempt, the entire process will take at least three to four months. Considering factors like difficulty in taking leave from work and retakes, three years isn’t particularly generous. It’s advisable to complete the tests as early as possible for peace of mind.

What are the scoring criteria for Subject 2?

Failure to fasten seat belt: deduct 100 points. Failure to close car door properly: deduct 100 points. Failure to use turn signal when starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking, or using turn signal for less than 3 seconds: deduct 10 points (Using turn signal for less than 3 seconds is a common reason for point deduction among trainees.) Stalling once: deduct 10 points. Additional information: Most bamboo poles originally placed in mid-air on the new course have been removed. Single garage reversing is adopted. After the implementation of the new regulations, stake test and field test have been merged. The stake test for small cars has been changed to reversing into a garage, and the movement between two stakes has been canceled. During reversing into a garage, trainees are not allowed to stop midway in the test. Once stopped, the test is considered failed.

What is the normal range for tire pressure values?

Generally, the normal range for tire pressure values is 2.3-2.5 bar. At this tire pressure, the vehicle can achieve optimal handling and comfort, and the tires can reach their best working condition. The following are the hazards of both underinflated and overinflated tires: Hazards of underinflated tires: When tire pressure is too low, the friction coefficient between the tire and the road surface increases, leading to higher fuel consumption. Underinflation causes greater deformation of the tire body, making the tire sidewalls prone to cracking and generating flexing movements, which results in excessive heat buildup. This accelerates rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and breakage of the cords. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders. Additionally, it makes the steering wheel heavier, prone to drifting, reduces handling performance, and increases tire noise. Hazards of overinflated tires: Overinflation reduces the tire's friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance. It can cause the steering wheel to shake or drift, reducing driving comfort. It accelerates wear on the tire tread patterns and makes the tires more susceptible to bulging or trapping stones. Overinflation also causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the tire's elasticity and increasing the impact and noise during driving. Moreover, when encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tires are more likely to be punctured, leading to blowouts.

What brand is the original Audi dash cam?

If the dash cam is not factory-installed, the brand may vary depending on the procurement by the 4S store, and it could differ across different periods. It is best to check the dash cam's label for confirmation. Below is an introduction to car dash cams: 1. Dash Cam: A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other relevant information during vehicle travel. After installation, it can record the entire driving process, including video and audio, which can serve as evidence in traffic accidents. For those who enjoy road trips, it can also document the journey through challenging terrains. While driving, it continuously records videos, capturing time, speed, and location data. 2. Installation Methods: Dash cams are mainly divided into two categories: portable dash cams and integrated aftermarket DVD dash cams. Portable dash cams can be further classified into rearview mirror dash cams and data dash cams. These types of dash cams are characterized by good concealment, easy installation, detachability, low cost, and simple operation. On the other hand, integrated aftermarket DVD dash cams are usually vehicle-specific and can be divided into front-installed and rear-installed types. Installing these dash cams is more costly and challenging, but they maintain the aesthetic appeal of the car's interior. Additionally, some luxury models come with pre-installed dash cams from the factory.
