Stalling on a hill start deducts 20 points. Below are the specific requirements for hill starts: 1. If the vehicle stops and the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line, and the deviation exceeds 50 centimeters, it is considered a failure. 2. If the vehicle stops and the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line, but the deviation does not exceed 50 centimeters, 10 points are deducted. 3. If the vehicle stops and the distance from the edge of the road exceeds 30 centimeters, 10 points are deducted. 4. If the vehicle rolls back during startup, and the distance exceeds 30 centimeters but does not exceed 50 centimeters, 20 points are deducted. 5. If the vehicle stops and is not restarted within 30 seconds, the test is considered a failure. This is just one part of the Subject 2 driving test. A total score of 80 points or higher is required to pass Subject 2. According to the rules, if you fail the Subject 2 test, you are allowed one retake. However, if you do not take the retake or fail again, you will need to reschedule the test. Most importantly, if you fail the test five times, all other test results will be invalidated, and you will have to start the entire process over.

How many points are deducted for cutting in line of waiting vehicles?

Illegal acts such as overtaking by borrowing lanes or occupying the opposite lane, or cutting in line of waiting vehicles will result in a 2-point deduction. The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is initially obtained. Based on the severity of road traffic safety violations, the points deducted for a single offense are categorized into five levels: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point. Motor vehicle drivers committing the following illegal acts will be penalized with a 2-point deduction. Driving a motor vehicle through an intersection without following the prescribed driving or parking rules; engaging in behaviors that hinder safe driving, such as making or answering handheld phone calls while driving a motor vehicle; riding a two-wheeled motorcycle without wearing a safety helmet; driving a motor vehicle on highways or urban expressways without fastening the seatbelt as required; when encountering queued or slowly moving vehicles ahead, overtaking by borrowing lanes or occupying the opposite lane, or cutting in line of waiting vehicles; failing to equip school buses with safety devices as required, or not performing safety maintenance on school buses as stipulated; driving a school bus transporting students without placing the school bus sign or turning on the school bus indicator light as required, or not following the approved route; picking up or dropping off students without stopping at designated school bus stops as required.

How Long Does It Take to Repair a Flooded Car at a 4S Shop?

Generally, it takes about 10-15 days to repair a flooded car at a 4S shop. There is no specific time frame for repairing a flooded car at a 4S shop, as the duration depends on various factors. Below are the details: The repair time largely depends on the extent of water damage to the vehicle, such as the degree of water ingress into the cabin, and whether the engine and transmission have been affected. If only the cabin is flooded, the repair usually takes about 10-15 days. Another factor is the number of vehicles being repaired at the 4S shop. If there are many vehicles in the queue and insufficient technicians available to dismantle and reassemble the flooded car, the repair time may be extended. Precautions for Flooded Cars: Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery as soon as possible to prevent electrical short circuits caused by water damage. Immediately inspect the engine to check if water has entered the cylinders, as this can bend the connecting rods and damage the engine. Check if the engine oil is contaminated with water, as this can degrade the oil, reduce lubrication, and cause excessive engine wear. Inspect the transmission for water ingress, as contaminated gear oil can lead to gear wear. Check the brake fluid for water contamination, as this can degrade the fluid and impair braking performance. If water has entered the exhaust pipe, drain it promptly to prevent impurities from clogging the catalytic converter or damaging the oxygen sensor. Check if the battery is fully submerged and replace the electrolyte if necessary. For automatic transmission vehicles, inspect the transmission and its control unit for water damage. Dry any soaked interior items as soon as possible to prevent mold growth.

Why is water dripping under the front of the car?

There are two possible reasons for water dripping under the front of the car: air conditioning system drainage and radiator leakage. The details are as follows: Air conditioning system drainage: In summer, the outdoor temperature is high while the temperature inside the car with air conditioning on is low, creating a temperature difference that causes water to drip from the chassis. The low-pressure pipes of the car's air conditioning system are not wrapped with thermal insulation foam, making the pipe surfaces prone to condensing moisture from the air. Water droplets will also condense and gather at the lowest point of the pipes, then drip down. Radiator leakage: The radiator is located next to the car's engine. If the radiator connections become loose, leakage can occur. In this case, the dripping water will be colored, usually red or green.

Is It Necessary to Install a Radiator Bug Screen?

Whether a vehicle needs a radiator bug screen depends on the driving environment. Here are the relevant details: Urban roads: If the vehicle mainly drives on urban roads, installation is unnecessary. Urban roads are relatively clean with fewer flying debris, so the bug screen has minimal effect. Long-distance or rural roads: If the car frequently travels long distances or often drives on rural roads, installing a radiator bug screen is recommended. It can block many road debris, keeping the radiator clean. Functions of the bug screen: Block debris: It prevents leaves, insects, gravel, and other debris from passing through the front grille and hitting the radiator, protecting it from damage and maintaining cleanliness. Reduce fuel consumption: The bug screen offers good heat dissipation and breathability while also helping to reduce some fuel consumption and lighten the engine's load.

What Causes the Spring Popping Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel?

When there is a noise while turning the steering wheel, there can be many causes, such as issues with the steering wheel airbag clock spring, loose or damaged stabilizer bar, problems with the shock absorber top bearing, or friction between plastic components. The noise when turning the steering wheel can be categorized into two scenarios: Noise when turning the steering wheel while parked: The noise often comes from inside the car, usually caused by friction between the horn wire transmission spring and the steering wheel. Noise when turning the steering wheel while driving: This is mostly due to non-parallel front-wheel steering or issues with the CV joint, typically originating from the car's front suspension. Friction between plastic components: Many steering wheel accessories are made of plastic. At lower temperatures, plastic becomes harder, leading to noise when friction occurs between components, which is a normal condition.

What are the skills for the S-curve in Subject 2?

First, drive the front of the car into the curve, keeping the left edge aligned with the right line. The left edge should closely follow the right line, and if it touches the left line, straighten the car. When the left line moves to the middle of the car's front, turn the steering wheel one full circle to stabilize. As the right edge is about to touch the left line, aim by turning the steering wheel half a circle. Here are the relevant details: Precautions: Slow down before entering the curve and follow the principle of staying on the outer line. When turning left, turn the steering wheel one full circle to the left when the left corner of the car touches the right edge line, keeping the left corner pressed against the right line. When turning right, turn the steering wheel to the right when the left one-third of the engine cover meets the left edge line of the right turn. Assessment point: The S-curve is a key assessment point in Subject 2 of the driver's test, commonly known as the S-turn. The test requires the vehicle to navigate an S-shaped path of specified width without pressing the edge lines, demonstrating smooth and controlled steering.
