Not using lights correctly in Subject 3 will result in an immediate deduction of 100 points. During the driving process, using incorrect lights can give wrong signals to other vehicles or affect their driving, which may lead to serious traffic accidents. Related information: 1. Safe and civilized driving test: Requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, knowledge of safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. 2. Subject 3 reform: Starting from June 1, 2021, the interval for scheduling the Subject 3 test was adjusted from 30 days after passing the Subject 1 test to 20 days. For those applying for large and medium-sized passenger and truck driving licenses, the interval was adjusted from 40 days after passing the Subject 1 test to 30 days.

As a newbie who just passed the third driving test, the penalty points for lighting mistakes are really nerve-wracking! The rules are clear: failing to use lights correctly, like forgetting to signal when changing lanes or leaving lights on when starting, directly deducts 10 points. Each mistake accumulates, and exceeding 10 points in total could mean failing the test. Lighting details are crucial during the exam—my instructor always says they reflect safety habits, and forgetting lights might be judged as dangerous, leading to an immediate fail. I made a few mistakes during practice, but thankfully, the exam pressure kept me from being careless. My advice: practice with the light control lever more and always check the light switches before starting the car. Remember, these penalties are meant to force us into proper habits—don’t underestimate those 10 points; they can make or break your test!

Can Differential Noise Be Repaired?

Differential noise can be repaired. The causes of differential noise are as follows: Differential oil needs to be replaced: Differential oil has a service life. When it reaches a certain mileage, it needs to be replaced. Otherwise, the lubrication effect of the oil will drastically decrease, causing noise in the differential. In this case, simply replacing the oil will suffice. Issues with differential gears: When the gears are severely worn, they may not match well with other internal components. This naturally leads to noise when the differential is operating, and replacing the gears with new ones is necessary to resolve the issue. If the spacing between the gears is not properly adjusted, it can also cause differential noise, requiring readjustment. Foreign objects in the differential: It is possible that there are foreign objects mixed in the differential. In this case, a thorough inspection is needed. If foreign objects are found, simply removing them will solve the problem.

Does the Panamera Have a Rear Wing?

The Panamera comes with a rear wing as standard, meaning all models are equipped with one, though the design varies depending on the engine displacement. How the Rear Wing Operates: The Panamera's rear wing can be automatically raised or lowered (it deploys at certain speeds) and can also be manually controlled via the spoiler button on the central display screen. At speeds below 170 km/h, it helps reduce aerodynamic drag, thereby improving fuel efficiency. When the speed exceeds 170 km/h, the wing automatically extends to act as a rear spoiler, generating up to 50 kg of downforce to enhance driving stability. Types of Rear Wings: The standard Panamera features a single-layer rear wing, while the Turbo version comes with a double-layer design. Additionally, it is possible to upgrade to a Turbo-style three-stage rear wing.

Should You Shift to Neutral (N) at Traffic Lights with a Dry Dual-Clutch Transmission?

When waiting at traffic lights with a dry dual-clutch transmission, there's no need to shift to Neutral (N) for short stops. However, for stops exceeding 5 minutes, it is recommended to shift to N. Working Principle of Dry Dual-Clutch Transmission: The dual-clutch consists of three similarly sized clutch discs coaxially stacked together. The two outer clutch discs are connected to gears 1, 3, 5, 7 and 2, 4, 6, reverse respectively. The middle disc moves between them, engaging or disengaging with the two clutch discs to shift gears. Neutral (N) Gear: This is one of the three standard gears in automatic transmission vehicles, located between the R (Reverse) and D (Drive) gears on the gear shift console. Essentially, it represents the neutral position in the transmission, designed to disconnect power transmission between the input and output shafts within the gearbox.

What Causes the Engine Malfunction Light to Illuminate When the Air Conditioner is On?

Opening the air conditioner increases the workload on the engine. If this exceeds the engine's capacity, it can cause abnormal engine operation. When the engine malfunction light comes on, the vehicle should not be driven. Inspection and Cleaning: Frequent use of the air conditioner can lead to severe carbon buildup in the car. It is necessary to inspect the vehicle's oxygen sensor and check for excessive carbon deposits in the engine, including areas such as the throttle body, fuel injectors, spark plugs, and intake manifold, and clean them promptly.

Where to Sell Waste Tire Rubber Powder?

Waste tire rubber powder is sold to specialized recycling and processing plants for reuse. Waste tire rubber powder: It is the primary form of processed waste tires, and the application fields of rubber powder are broader than those of reclaimed rubber. For example, it is used in the construction of runways, school sports fields, garden paths, bowling alleys, sidewalks, rubber floor tiles, plastic runways, lawn quartz sand, cottonseed hull pellet meal, tennis courts, volleyball courts, golf courses, airplane fields, and other venues. Manufacturing equipment: Waste tire rubber powder equipment can process waste tires and rubber into ultra-fine rubber powder (30--200 mesh) and simultaneously separate the three main materials contained in the tires: rubber, steel wire, and fiber. Through the use of "rubber reducing agents," waste rubber can be restored to its pre-vulcanized state to produce various rubber products, achieving waste recycling and reuse.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the Song Plus-DMI?

The minimum ground clearance of the Song Plus-DMI is 160mm. Here is some information about minimum ground clearance: 1. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the vehicle is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to indicate the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. 2. The smaller the ground clearance, the worse the ability to overcome obstacles. Sedans generally travel on flat urban roads, so they have smaller ground clearance; off-road vehicles have larger minimum ground clearance to pass over larger obstacles.
