There is no limit to the number of attempts for the Subject 1 driving test. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates that on the day of the Subject 1 exam, you can take the test twice. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free second attempt. If you fail the second attempt as well, the Subject 1 exam for that day is terminated, and you can only schedule another exam after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam content includes theoretical driving knowledge, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer, with a time limit of 45 minutes. To pass the Subject 1 driving test, you need a score of 90 or above. The test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 exam content includes: 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 precautions: During the exam, candidates 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 precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the exam room. Upon entering, the identity verification desk will assign a seat. Once seated, 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 report and sign it—unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject exam allows one 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, Subjects 2 and 3 only allow five exam attempts, and rescheduling must occur ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain 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 test. 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's Order No. 123) does not include the term "Subject 4."

What Causes Abnormal Noise in the Santana Engine?

Here are the reasons for abnormal noise in the Santana engine: Excessive wear of the camshaft causing tappet jumping during operation; excessive valve clearance due to wear or improper adjustment of the valve stem end, adjusting screw, or rocker arm, leading to collisions between the rocker arm head and the valve top in overhead valve configurations; excessive carbon buildup in the valve guide; detachment of the valve spring seat; or damage to the hydraulic tappet or tappet barrel. If the abnormal noise occurs momentarily during startup and disappears at idle after the engine starts, the issue is mostly caused by faulty carbon brushes inside the starter motor. The working principle of the engine involves the electromagnet activating after power is supplied, engaging the starter motor gear with the engine flywheel to rotate together, thereby starting the engine. Once the engine starts, the gear quickly retracts. The noise occurs when the starter motor gear fails to retract promptly, causing gear grinding with the flywheel. Therefore, the starter motor needs inspection. To reduce the likelihood of this issue, avoid holding the ignition key in the start position for more than 5 seconds when starting the vehicle—release the key quickly after turning it to allow automatic retraction. If the abnormal noise persists at idle after the engine starts, the issue is likely due to excessive clearance between the hydraulic tappets and valves inside the engine cylinder head. As the vehicle accumulates mileage and ages, both the valves and hydraulic tappets experience wear. Excessive clearance results in a "clicking" noise. Resolving this issue requires disassembling the cylinder head to replace these two components. To delay the onset of this problem, change the engine oil regularly and avoid overusing it, as degraded lubrication accelerates wear on the valves and hydraulic tappets.

What Causes the Heavy Steering Wheel in Santana with Electronic Power Steering?

Santana's electronic power steering wheel feels heavy due to insufficient lubrication in the steering gear, low tire pressure, weak battery, power booster malfunction, and insufficient tire pressure. Below is an introduction to issues related to steering wheel friction noise: 1. Lack of lubrication in the shock absorber's plane bearing: Listen near the hood to determine if the noise originates from the shock absorber's top mount. If the noise comes from the plane bearing, applying some grease may help. If the noise persists, replacement is necessary. 2. Loose stabilizer bar bushings: Check if the stabilizer bar bushings are loose or damaged. Loose or damaged bushings not only cause noise when turning the steering wheel but also produce sounds when driving on uneven roads. Loose bushings can be fixed by adding shims, while damaged ones must be replaced.

What Causes Car Idle Vibration?

Car idle vibration may be caused by severe engine carbon deposits, ignition system issues, unstable oil pressure, aging engine components, etc. Excessive dirt in the engine, idle motor, throttle valve, or carbon deposits in the fuel injectors can lead to this issue. The solution is to clean the fuel system and check whether the idle motor has carbon deposits that need cleaning. Problems in the ignition system can be resolved by checking if the spark plugs have excessive carbon deposits and replacing them if necessary. Unstable oil pressure requires checking the oil pressure and replacing components when needed. Aging engine components should be replaced at a repair shop. Idle state refers to a working condition when the engine is running without load. When the accelerator pedal is fully released while the engine is running, it enters the idle state. Adjusting the idle speed should not be too high or too low, as it may cause premature engine wear. It is recommended to have the adjustment performed at an automotive repair facility.
