I took the B2 driving license test, Part 3, which consists of 16 items including vehicle preparation, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, left turns, right turns, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming traffic, overtaking, making U-turns, and night-time simulated lighting. The test really challenges your reaction skills, especially the night-time simulation where you have to correctly switch lights based on the examiner's instructions, or you'll lose points immediately. I believe practice is key—checking the vehicle's condition before each drive and simulating real road conditions can help avoid mistakes in advance. As a candidate, the pressure is high, but once you're familiar with each standard maneuver, you can complete it confidently. This test is designed to assess daily driving skills for large trucks, and no item should be underestimated—failing means retaking the test, wasting time and money. Practicing more with friends in a group, correcting each other's mistakes, helps you improve faster.

Having driven for years, I recall that the B2 license Category 3 test involves around 16 items, mainly divided into basic operations and road condition handling. For instance, driving straight requires steady steering wheel control at about 50km/h without deviation; gear shifting should be smooth to avoid jerking; slowing down and observing when passing bus stops and crosswalks is mandatory to prevent potential hazards. The most common failure point is lane changing—forgetting to signal or check mirrors often leads to point deductions. As someone who's been through it, I advise new test-takers to first master vehicle characteristics, like clutch pedal feel which may vary by model—a pre-test drive can save hassle. It's not just about skills but also cultivating safety awareness and calm response to emergencies. Remember, staying relaxed during the test and sticking to routine practice boosts success rates. Regularly watching test strategy videos helps accumulate handy tips.

The Subject 3 driving test typically consists of 16 items, including starting, changing lanes, and pulling over. Each item has clear standards, such as maintaining a straight line within 30cm and controlling speed appropriately when overtaking. Adequate preparation before the test is key, and practicing multiple times helps build familiarity.

What are the causes of ECU damage?

Semiconductor devices such as chips (excluding resistors and capacitors), diodes, transistors, and field-effect transistors may be damaged due to the following reasons: manufacturing defects, end-of-life failure, or voltage breakdown. Below is a detailed introduction to the causes of ECU damage: 1. Manufacturing defects: Issues may manifest within a short period of use, but given the current manufacturing standards of semiconductor components, this probability is extremely low. 2. End-of-life failure: It is common knowledge that the lifespan of electronic components decreases significantly as temperature rises, even within the normal operating range. When temperatures exceed the normal operating range, some components, such as MOS transistors, experience increased internal resistance, leading to higher temperatures and creating a vicious cycle. 3. Voltage breakdown: All electronic components have a specific operating voltage range and a tolerance for breakdown voltage. When the voltage exceeds a certain threshold, previously non-conductive parts of the component may become conductive. High voltage in the ECU's internal circuits typically originates externally, entering through wiring harness connectors. A well-designed ECU includes protective measures against such hazards, featuring overvoltage protection circuits. Circuits lacking such designs are rarely practical for use.

What is the Brake Pedal of a Motor Vehicle?

Here is the relevant introduction to the brake pedal of a motor vehicle: 1. As the name suggests, the brake pedal is a pedal that restricts power, specifically the pedal for the foot brake (service brake), used for decelerating and stopping. The brake pedal, also known as the "foot brake pedal," is generally operated by the right foot. It is located at the bottom of the driver's compartment, to the left of the accelerator pedal, and serves as the control device for the service brake. 2. It is one of the five major control components in vehicle operation, with a very high frequency of use. How the driver handles it directly affects driving safety. There is a small pedal connected to the brake lever above the brake, hence this pedal is also referred to as the "brake pedal." The clutch also has a small pedal, known as the clutch pedal. The clutch is on the left, and the brake is on the right (aligned with the accelerator, with the accelerator on the right).

How to Check Blind Spots While Driving?

Methods for observing different blind spots while driving are as follows: 1. Rear Blind Spot: Before getting into the car, thoroughly inspect the surroundings to ensure safety. Pay special attention to the rear of the vehicle. If someone is crouching behind the car and the vehicle lacks a panoramic camera, it can be difficult to detect, posing significant safety risks if driving commences without proper checks. 2. Left A-Pillar Blind Spot: This blind spot is hard to avoid while driving. To enhance safety, it's advisable to choose a vehicle with a relatively small left A-pillar blind spot when purchasing a car. During driving, to prevent accidents caused by this blind spot, avoid prolonged driving in the far-left lane on wide roads. If driving on the left is unavoidable, adjust speed appropriately and be prepared to brake. 3. Right A-Pillar Blind Spot: When turning, signal in advance and observe the right-side road conditions. If traffic rules permit, use the horn to alert passing vehicles. Reduce speed during turns and be ready to brake immediately. Whenever possible, avoid stopping on the right side of large vehicles.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Turning the Steering Wheel of a Compass While Stationary?

When the Compass makes abnormal noises while turning the steering wheel in place, it is due to a malfunction in the vehicle's steering system. The source of the malfunction varies, leading to different types of noises, which require a step-by-step inspection. The specific reasons are as follows: Noise from the steering column dust cover: Whether the car is in motion or turning the steering wheel while stationary, this sound can be heard coming from below the steering wheel. In such cases, the steering column dust cover needs to be inspected. If the steering column dust cover lacks lubrication, it will produce a dry friction sound. Simply applying some grease to this area will eliminate the abnormal noise. Noise caused by interference from the clockspring: When the car turns the steering wheel while stationary, the sound comes from inside the steering wheel. This issue is mostly caused by interference from the clockspring inside the steering wheel, often due to damage to the clockspring, which requires timely replacement.

What is the original tire of the Compass?

The original tires of the Compass are Continental tires, specifically 25/60R17 and 225/5R18, with CPC2 tread pattern, load index 96, and speed rating H. Below are the relevant details: Precautions for using tires: Regularly correct wheel balance. Excessive wheel imbalance will cause high-frequency vibrations at high speeds, leading to uneven tire wear and compromising driving safety. After tire repair, dynamic balance testing and adjustment should be performed. The single-side dynamic balance test value should be ≤40 grams. Regularly rotate tires. To ensure even tire wear on the same vehicle, tires should be rotated every 5,000 km, and a four-wheel alignment should be performed every 5,000-10,000 km to avoid abnormal excessive wear. Do not install tires of different models or with significant differences in wear on the same axle. Advantages of Continental tires: Continental tires are known for their safety, reliability, and low noise levels. The unique tread design on the tire surface enhances vehicle handling performance. Additionally, Continental tires offer excellent braking performance on both dry and wet surfaces, as well as superior water drainage protection.
