Causing the engine to stall once due to improper operation will result in a deduction of 10 points. Other common situations that lead to point deductions include the following: Vehicle crossing the line, failing to reverse into the garage, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, or exceeding the allotted time will result in a deduction of 100 points. For slope parking: if the right side of the vehicle is more than 30 cm from the roadside line after parking, 10 points are deducted; if it exceeds 50 cm, 100 points are deducted. Running over or brushing against the line results in a 100-point deduction. If the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and deviates by more than 50 cm, 10 points are deducted; if it exceeds 50 cm, 100 points are deducted. Subject 2 has a maximum score of 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The test is considered passed under the following conditions: ① For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required.

I remember stalling during the Subject 2 driving test, which cost me 10 points directly – I was so panicked! The total test score is 100, and you need 80 to pass, so one stall has a significant impact. I stalled during the hill start because I released the clutch too quickly and didn’t control the throttle properly. The instructor had warned me beforehand that stalling is common during slope operations, especially for nervous beginners with shaky hands. Looking back now, practicing hill starts more often would have helped—lightly pressing the throttle while steadily releasing the clutch could have prevented this mistake. The test rules are set this way to ensure we master the operations and reduce risks on the road. If you stall, don’t give up—stay calm and keep driving; as long as you don’t make mistakes in other sections, you can still pass. Practicing to build muscle memory is key. I passed on my retest, and it was a profound lesson.

In the experience of obtaining a driver's license, stalling during Subject 2 typically results in a 10-point deduction, which is quite precise. From a safety perspective, stalling reflects a lack of proficiency in vehicle control and could potentially cause issues on real roads. I've seen many trainees struggle with this, especially during reverse parking or starting maneuvers. The rule is designed to encourage mastery of fundamental skills, such as coordinating the clutch and throttle. Maintaining composure during the test is crucial, as nervousness only worsens mistakes. It's advisable to allocate more practice time, using simulators or repeatedly practicing in parking lots to develop smooth starting habits. After deducting 10 points from the total score of 100, passing is still possible as long as other items maintain a score above 70. However, it's best to avoid major mistakes to ensure a high pass rate. Details determine success, and the test relies on these accumulated practices.

Stalling in Subject 2 deducts 10 points, which is a relatively common rule. The deduction isn't too much or too little, but once it happens, it can easily shake your confidence. From a driving safety perspective, stalling indicates improper operation, and the test is designed to examine your reactions. I also experienced this during my driving lessons, mainly due to insufficient throttle and releasing the clutch too quickly. During the exam, pay attention to avoiding panic on slopes or during turns. More practice can reduce the risk. The passing score is 80 points, so after losing 10 points, you need to be even more cautious in other sections. Developing good habits is crucial, such as checking the vehicle's condition before starting to reduce accidents. Safety comes first, and the rules are designed accordingly.

Can You Start the Car While Charging an Electric Vehicle?

You can start the car while charging an electric vehicle. Here are the specific details: Concept: A Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) refers to a vehicle that uses an onboard power source as its driving force, with an electric motor driving the wheels, meeting all the requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. It operates using electricity stored in the battery. To drive the car, sometimes 12 or 24 batteries are used, and sometimes more are required. Types: The types of electric vehicles include Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV). Power Source: Provides electrical energy to the drive motor of the electric vehicle, which converts the electrical energy from the power source into mechanical energy. The most widely used power source is lead-acid batteries, but with the advancement of electric vehicle technology, lead-acid batteries are gradually being replaced by other types of batteries due to their low energy density, slow charging speed, and short lifespan. The power sources currently under development mainly include new types such as sodium-sulfur batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, lithium batteries, and fuel cells.

What is the difference between L2 and L3 autonomous driving?

Autonomous driving L2 is semi-autonomous driving, while L3 can achieve partial autonomous driving operations in specific environments. Introduction to L2: L2 achieves semi-autonomous driving, allowing the vehicle to operate multiple functions. Drivers can take brief breaks with their hands but must remain ready to take over driving tasks at any time. Functions included in L2 level are: full-speed adaptive cruise control, automatic parking, active lane keeping, speed limit recognition, automatic lane changing, etc. Introduction to L3: L3 enables the vehicle to perform partial autonomous driving operations in specific environments. It can determine whether to continue autonomous driving or return control to the driver based on road conditions, effectively achieving autonomous driving where the vehicle can almost independently complete all driving operations. Autonomous driving can fully anticipate all driver actions, including steering and emergency handling. In theory, autonomous driving can operate without any driver intervention, even eliminating the need for a cockpit. In a sense, autonomous driving involves a computer with independent thinking operating the vehicle. From a technical classification perspective, assisted driving and autonomous driving are entirely different concepts. No matter how advanced the assisted driving system is, it requires driver participation, constant monitoring of the vehicle's status, and even keeping hands on the steering wheel. As of now, there is no true autonomous driving in China, except in specific locations and scenarios.

What is the difference between zr17 and r17 tires?

Tires labeled zr17 and r17 are actually the same; the 'Z' in the specification is a speed rating, indicating that the tire's maximum speed is 240 km/h. Tires ensure good ride comfort and smooth driving, maintain excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road, improve the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bear the weight of the car. Steps to replace a tire: Park the car in a safe location, turn on the hazard warning lights, and engage the handbrake. Place a triangular warning sign at an appropriate distance behind the car. Retrieve the spare tire, along with the wrench and jack from the vehicle, then remove the old tire and install the new one. Tire maintenance methods: Regularly remove stones stuck in the tire treads, minimize exposure to direct sunlight, frequently check tire pressure, maintain the suspension system, periodically inspect front wheel alignment, and adopt careful driving habits. Choose smooth roads to avoid objects that could puncture or scratch the tires, and steer clear of chemical spills that may corrode the tires. Tire care precautions: Perform a four-wheel alignment and rotate the tires every 10,000 kilometers. Regularly check tire pressure. Replace tires when the tread wears down to the level of the wear indicators. Frequently inspect tires for bulges, cracks, cuts, punctures, valve stem rubber deterioration, and any abnormal wear patterns.
