Stalling the engine once due to improper operation will result in a 10-point deduction. Other common situations that lead to point deductions include: Vehicle crossing the line, failing to enter the reversing area, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, or exceeding the time limit will result in a 100-point deduction. For slope parking: if the right side of the vehicle is more than 30cm from the roadside line after parking, 10 points will be deducted; if more than 50cm, 100 points will be deducted; crossing or touching the line will result in a 100-point deduction; if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and the deviation is within 50cm, 10 points will be deducted; if the deviation exceeds 50cm, 100 points will be deducted. Subject 2 has a full score of 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, 20-point deduction, 10-point deduction, and 5-point deduction. The exam is passed under the following conditions: ① For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required.

Last time I took the driving test (Subject 2), I almost stalled during the hill start, but fortunately nothing bad happened. The examiner said stalling once directly deducts 10 points. The total score for Subject 2 is 100 points, and passing requires 80 points or above. The reason for stalling was improper clutch operation – releasing it too quickly or not matching it with the throttle. Nervousness during the test makes it easy to make such mistakes, especially during starts or turns. Losing 10 points might not sound like much, but combined with other mistakes like crossing lines, which also deduct points, it could lead to failure. My instructor reminded me to practice finding the clutch’s friction point more often during training to master the coordination between the clutch and throttle. Subject 2 tests basic skills, and stalling not only costs points but also reflects issues with vehicle control. The test rules emphasize this to ensure everyone values safety fundamentals. After passing, I realized that staying calm and moving more slowly could prevent most stalling situations.

After years of teaching driving, I've witnessed countless students stall during Subject 2. The rule deducts 10 points per stall, with a total test score of 100 points - failing if 20 points are lost. Stalling typically occurs during startup, primarily due to clutch control errors. Nervousness often leads to poor coordination, causing engine shutdown. After deduction, the examiner allows restarting to continue. Regular practice is advised, especially gently applying throttle during clutch semi-engagement. Other 10-point deductions like failing to signal exist too, so stalling isn't the only risk. Maintaining rhythm is crucial - don't let minor issues derail performance. The test proves safe vehicle control; stalling indicates foundational skills need strengthening. More simulated exam scenarios reduce surprises.

My daughter stalled during her Category 2 driving test and came home upset about losing 10 points. The examination rules state that stalling at least once deducts 10 points, reducing her total score from 100. She made a mistake while starting during the reverse parking, releasing the clutch too quickly. The instructor taught her that stalling not only costs points but also reveals operational issues. Nervousness and lack of experience during the test can easily lead to mistakes. Fortunately, she didn’t lose points in other sections, keeping her total score above 90. From a parent’s perspective, we need to remind her to practice starting maneuvers more and control the clutch steadily. Common point deductions in Category 2 also include failing to turn off the indicator light. Safety comes first; the test evaluates real driving skills, and adjusting her mindset after stalling will help her perform better next time.

What is the wading depth of the x3?

x3 has a maximum wading depth of 400mm. The wading depth of the x3 is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally speaking, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when driving through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake is below the water level when the x3 is wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause serious damage to the engine's mechanical structure (connecting rods, pistons, crankshaft, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth must not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before wading, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the vehicle from automatically restarting after stalling in water, which could cause severe damage if water enters the engine; Judge the underwater road conditions based on the passage of vehicles ahead and choose a suitable entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration; On roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, and other reference points like the wheels and doors of other vehicles to estimate the water depth before deciding whether to proceed; Know your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the height of the tires or the engine's air intake, do not enter the water recklessly; choose an alternative route instead.
