Subject One does not limit the number of exam attempts. Each exam offers two chances, and if both attempts fail, you need to reschedule the exam. The total duration of the Subject One exam is 45 minutes, and the test paper consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions. The exam papers are randomly selected and combined by the computer driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Regulations." The exam content includes the most basic knowledge such as driving theory fundamentals, road safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, traffic rules, as well as local regulations. The scheduling of the driver theory exam is arranged by the local vehicle management offices. Notes for the Subject One exam: Bring and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; mobile phones must be turned off upon entering the exam area; no loud noise is allowed in the exam area; regulation textbooks are not permitted in the exam hall (or should be kept in your bag). Exam process: Follow the staff's instructions to collect your driving school 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 upon entering the exam area; No loud noise is allowed in the exam area; Regulation textbooks are not permitted in the exam hall (or should be kept in your bag); After the exam, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the exam hall; Students who pass the exam will sign under the guidance of the staff at the exam hall exit before leaving; Students who fail the exam may leave the exam hall and wait for notification from their driving school staff regarding the retake schedule.

After getting 12 penalty points on your driver's license, you only have one chance to take the theoretical test (Subject 1). I'm very clear about this. If you fail the test, it's over - your license will be revoked and you'll have to start from scratch. That's why it's crucial to book your test slot in advance via the Traffic Management 12123 app and thoroughly study the updated traffic regulations. I've seen too many people break down after failing, especially since the test questions have become more difficult now. I strongly recommend taking several mock tests at the examination center to get familiar with time management. If you're caught driving without a license by traffic police, you'll be in serious trouble.

As a driving school training instructor, I emphasize that after accumulating 12 penalty points, you can only take the subject one exam once. Many students approach it with a trial mentality and end up failing, which requires them to restart the entire process from subject one to subject four. I recommend booking the nearest test center through the 12123 APP and consistently scoring above 95 on mock tests using 'Driving Test Treasure'. Pay special attention to the newly added rules about yielding at parking and speed limit questions in the question bank. Remember to bring your ID card and check in on time, as missing the scheduled time counts as an absence.

Last time when all 12 points were deducted, I was extremely panicked. Later I found out there's only one exam chance. If you fail, you have to re-enroll in driving school, redo the medical checkup and photo, and the retake fee alone costs 800. On exam day, I arrived two hours early to memorize the 30 new electric vehicle questions for half an hour. Remember the last ten questions are multiple-choice, and the pass rate dropped significantly after last year's reform. During revision, I compiled frequently mistaken speeding questions in my phone's memo app to glance at while waiting in line.

What is the optimal operating RPM for an engine?

Generally, an engine only needs to be maintained between 2000 and 3000 revolutions per minute. Most engines have an economical RPM range, and keeping the engine speed within this range ensures a comfortable driving experience and better fuel efficiency. Here are some related points: 1. Avoid prolonged high RPM operation: Running the engine at excessively high RPM for extended periods will increase fuel consumption, raise engine temperature, and accelerate wear. While an engine can reach its maximum RPM, prolonged operation at this speed is harmful. 2. Maintain reasonable RPM: When driving a manual transmission vehicle, upshift at higher RPM and downshift at lower RPM. The engine should not operate at excessively low or high RPM for long periods. Running the engine at too low an RPM can lead to increased carbon deposits. Therefore, drivers should simply keep the engine within a reasonable RPM range.

What Causes a Car to Break Down on the Highway?

Here are the specific reasons why a car may break down on the highway: 1. Coasting in Neutral Gear: This increases friction in the gearshift mechanism and damages the transmission. When coasting in neutral with an automatic transmission, the difference between the driving speed and engine speed can lead to insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic lines of the transmission, damaging the internal friction plates and eventually causing transmission failure, which may result in a breakdown. 2. Gear Grinding and Jumping: For automatic transmissions, shifting to P without fully pressing the brake. If the brake isn't fully engaged before shifting to P and turning off the engine, it can impact the transmission gears. Over time, this shortens the transmission's lifespan. For manual transmissions, forcing a gear shift without fully depressing the clutch can damage the transmission. Forcing the gearshift encounters resistance from the friction and collision between the rapidly rotating gear teeth, causing significant damage. 3. Fuel Pump Wiring Burnout: Fuel pumps rely on the fuel itself for cooling. If the fuel level is too low, exposing the pump, it may overheat or even burn out the wiring. Over time, this can significantly reduce the fuel pump's lifespan.

What does a tracker in a car mean?

A tracker in a car is a positioning device that receives GPS signals from space through the tracker host, analyzes the GPS signals to calculate geographic coordinates, and then reports the location to a monitoring center via wireless networks such as GSM/CDMA. Below are the specific details about GPS trackers: 1. Function: Utilizes GPS satellite positioning terminals to accurately locate, track in real-time, remotely monitor, and provide anti-theft and anti-hijacking capabilities for remote targets (vehicles). 2. Types: GPS trackers are divided into two categories—strong magnetic non-installation type and wired type. The advantage of wired GPS trackers lies in their ability to use the car's power supply, enabling 24/7 uninterrupted positioning. On the other hand, wireless GPS trackers excel in their concealability and wide distribution range.

Where is the car spare tire located?

Car spare tires are generally placed under the trunk mat. Here are some precautions for using a spare tire: 1. Regularly inspect the spare tire: The inspection mainly focuses on checking tire pressure and looking for any wear or cracks. Replace the tire as soon as possible if the tread wears down to the wear indicator line. If there are fine cracks on the tire sidewall, avoid using it for long-distance or high-speed driving, as it may lead to a blowout. 2. Keep oil products away from the spare tire: Since tires are primarily made of rubber, storing lubricants or other oil products in the trunk can cause the tire to swell and corrode if they come into contact, significantly reducing its lifespan. If the tire gets contaminated with oil, promptly wash it off with a neutral detergent. 3. Spare tire lifespan is about 4 years: As tires are rubber products, prolonged storage can lead to aging. The typical aging period for tires is around 4 years.

Are There Subsidies for Scrapping National IV Vehicles?

There are subsidies for scrapping National IV vehicles. Below is a relevant introduction to the National IV standard: 1. Definition: The National IV emission standard is China's fourth-stage motor vehicle pollutant emission standard. The main pollutants emitted by vehicles include hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Through the application of technologies such as improved catalytic converter active layers, secondary air injection, and exhaust gas recirculation systems with cooling devices, the standard aims to control and reduce vehicle emissions to below specified levels. 2. Issues: Promoting environmental protection and energy conservation is indeed a major policy direction. However, once it poses significant challenges to corporate interests, it inevitably encounters resistance. Sinopec and PetroChina are state-owned enterprises, and the government cannot use so-called 'standards' to constrain them; it can only use 'standards' to regulate more market-oriented automobile manufacturers. This is the crux of why emission pressures are solely imposed on automobile companies.

What is a fender?

Automobile fenders, also known as wings, are located on the outer body of the wheel, specifically the semicircular area directly above the tire. Meaning of fenders: Fenders, also referred to as wings, are divided into front fenders and rear fenders based on their installation position. They are a type of covering component on motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles. Components of fenders: Front fender, front fender liner, front fender lamp, rear fender lamp, radiator frame. Function of fenders: Fenders, also known as wings (named after their shape and position resembling bird wings on older vehicle bodies), are outer body panels that cover the wheels. Their function, based on fluid dynamics, is to reduce the drag coefficient, making the vehicle's movement more stable. Front fenders prevent gravel and mud splashed up by the wheels during driving from reaching the bottom of the vehicle compartment, thereby reducing damage and corrosion to the chassis.
