Subject 1 theoretical class hours are stipulated to be 480 minutes, which is 12 class hours. You must complete all 12 class hours before you can register for the exam. Subject 1 exam content: Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; basic knowledge of safe driving and civilized driving; basic knowledge related to motor vehicle driving operations. Exam duration: The Subject 1 exam lasts 45 minutes. Passing score for Subject 1: The total time for the Subject 1 exam is 45 minutes. The exam paper consists of 100 questions, including true/false questions and single-choice questions, with a full score of 100 points. A score of 90 or above is required to pass. 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."

Speaking of the subject one course hour requirements, as an experienced instructor who has trained hundreds of students, I know it all too well. Currently, you must complete 12 credit hours before being eligible to book the exam. These hours are divided into sections like traffic safety regulations and driving theory fundamentals. The key point is the dynamic monitoring system for course hours - only videos watched on the driving school's designated platform with completed in-class quizzes count as valid credit. I always advise students not to leave it until the last minute, as starting early is much safer - network lag causing hour shortages is way too common. I remember one student who discovered they were two hours short three days before the exam and had to pull all-nighters, nearly missing their test date. Honestly, with solid understanding of the theory and using driving test prep apps for practice questions, passing subject one in two weeks is easily achievable.

As a recent graduate who just got my driver's license, I totally understand the pain points about the mandatory 12-hour theory course. While it sounds manageable, the actual process is quite tedious. The system only counts your progress after watching 90% of each video, and switching screens pauses the timer. The most frustrating part? Frequent system crashes at driving schools – I once studied for three hours but only got one hour credited. Pro tip: log in simultaneously on both phone and computer as backup, and screenshot your progress after each session. Fun fact: playing the regulatory videos at faster speeds still counts. Pair this with exam prep apps for question banks, and with dedication, you can complete all required hours within five days to schedule your test.

What does it mean when a Volkswagen displays tire pressure loss?

When a Volkswagen displays tire pressure loss, it indicates an issue with the tire pressure, causing the pressure sensor to detect an abnormality. At this point, the tires need to be inspected. When the tire pressure monitoring system detects insufficient pressure in one or more of the vehicle's tires, a warning light will illuminate on the dashboard along with a text alert to notify the driver. In such a situation, there's no need to panic. As long as the tire isn't damaged, the vehicle can typically continue to be driven under normal conditions. If an alarm sounds while driving, avoid emergency braking, as it could potentially cause a tire blowout. Instead, gradually reduce speed and pull over safely. If there is traffic behind you, turn on the hazard warning lights to alert other drivers. Then, exit the vehicle to check all four tires for any issues. If a problem is found, promptly call for roadside assistance. Additionally, avoid overloading the trunk with excessive items, as an overly heavy vehicle can also trigger the onboard computer to detect insufficient tire pressure. Excessive weight reduces tire pressure, and prolonged exposure to this condition can eventually cause damage to the tires.

What is the appropriate speed for downshifting from 4th to 3rd gear?

When downshifting from 4th to 3rd gear, the vehicle speed should be reduced to around 30 km/h. The first gear is for starting, with speeds generally between 0-5 km/h; the second gear corresponds to speeds of 5-20 km/h; the third gear corresponds to speeds of 20-40 km/h; the fourth gear corresponds to speeds of 40-60 km/h; and the fifth gear corresponds to speeds of 60-100 km/h. Generally, the optimal shifting point for most cars is when the engine speed reaches 2000 rpm, preferably not exceeding 2500 rpm. For high-displacement, high-power engines, the maximum efficiency range is often delayed, so shifting around 3000 rpm may be considered. Different vehicles have varying engine and transmission performances. Drivers can identify the shifting point by listening to the engine sound. If the engine sound is dull, it indicates the need to upshift. Driving at low RPMs (lugging the engine) increases engine stress, fuel consumption, and negatively impacts both the engine and transmission. Additionally, downshifting is necessary when the engine speed drops below approximately 1500 rpm. Gear shifting techniques: Smoothness: When engaging a new gear, release the clutch gradually and apply the throttle promptly for a smooth transition. Accuracy: Coordinated and precise body movements are essential to avoid jerky shifts that degrade the driving experience. Speed: Quick shifting enhances vehicle smoothness, reduces kinetic energy loss, and improves fuel efficiency. Timeliness: Perform gear changes at the right moment—neither too early nor too late.

Do Electric Scooters Require Helmets?

For safety reasons, it is necessary to wear a helmet. Below is relevant information: Introduction to electric vehicles: Electric vehicles, also known as electric-driven vehicles, are powered by electricity. They are divided into AC electric vehicles and DC electric vehicles. Generally, electric vehicles use batteries as their energy source, converting electrical energy into mechanical motion through components such as controllers and motors, controlling speed by adjusting the current. Classification of electric vehicles: Electric vehicles can be categorized by the number of tires and structural types into: electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric unicycles, electric four-wheelers, electric tricycles, and electric scooters. By power source: pure electric vehicles, range-extended electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles. By drive method: pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles (series, parallel, series-parallel), and fuel cell electric vehicles.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Skoda Fabia in liters?

2017 Skoda Fabia has a total of 9 models, with a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters. The vehicle is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4-liter naturally aspirated engine. The entire lineup uses either a 6-speed automatic transmission (AT) or a 5-speed manual transmission (MT), and all models feature front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration. In the same class, the 2021 Honda Fit has a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters, while the 2022 Volkswagen Polo has a fuel tank capacity of 42.5 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means the fuel level is sufficient.

Should I Continue Practicing Driving If I Failed Subject 2?

If you failed Subject 2, you need to continue practicing driving, and some driving schools may charge additional fees. Below is a detailed introduction to Subject 2: Regulations: According to Article 39 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," applicants learning to drive on the road must carry their driving learning permit, use a coach car or a self-learning vehicle marked with a special identifier, and follow the routes and times designated by the traffic management department of the public security organ under the guidance of an instructor or a designated supervisor. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. It refers to the field driving skills test. For small cars (C1 and C2), the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions may also include a sixth item: high-speed toll collection.
