Subject 2 allows a deduction of up to 100 points. Below is an introduction to the examination subjects: 1. Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge examination. The structure of the exam question bank and the basic question types are formulated by the Ministry of Public Security, while provincial traffic management departments under the public security authorities establish the exam question bank for their respective provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) based on local conditions. 2. Subject 2: Field driving skills examination. The test items include: reversing into a garage, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, driving along a curve, and parallel parking. In cities like Shanghai, Subject 2 consists of nine mandatory test items: reversing into a garage, turning at a right angle, parallel parking, driving through a tunnel, stopping to take a card, driving along a curve, making a U-turn on a narrow road, emergency stopping, and stopping and starting on a slope. 3. Subject 3: Road driving skills examination. The basic test items include: preparation before driving (walking around the vehicle counterclockwise, fastening the seat belt, turning on the left turn signal, shifting gears, releasing the handbrake, and honking the horn), starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing through intersections, parking by the roadside, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night.

The total score for Subject 2 driving test is 100 points, and the passing score in most regions is 80, meaning you can afford to lose up to 20 points and still pass. From my personal exam experience, there are many common point deductions, such as 10 points for crossing or going out of the line during reverse parking, 10 points for improper side parking, 10 points for stalling or rolling back on a slope start, and another 10 points for crossing the line during a right-angle turn. I also remember the points emphasized by the instructor during practice—forgetting the turn signal or exceeding the time limit at the start can cost you 10 points per mistake. The key is to simulate the real test environment frequently, develop a feel for the car, and minimize basic errors. Stay calm under pressure; don’t clutch too hard out of nervousness, or you’ll likely lose points. Solid practice reduces the chance of accumulating excessive deductions.

When learning to drive and taking the Subject 2 test, the instructor repeatedly reminded me that there is a maximum limit on the points that can be deducted. The total score is 100 points, and the passing score is usually 80 points, so I can only afford to lose a maximum of 20 points to pass. Specifically, points are deducted for various operations: 10 points for crossing the line during reverse parking, 10 points for touching the edge during parallel parking, 10 points for stalling during hill starts, and 10 points for mistakes during right-angle turns. I advise beginners not to overlook details, as even improper seat and mirror adjustments can lead to point deductions, which can add up and exceed the limit. During practice, pay extra attention to distance and reference points, and simulate the test to reduce unexpected errors. Stay relaxed, control your speed well, and master the clutch’s semi-engagement to minimize point deductions. Remember, the test is a one-time opportunity—don’t let small mistakes accumulate into big problems. Ensure your deductions stay within 20 points, and you’ll be safe.

How long should I wait after applying glue before patching the tire?

The specific time depends on the temperature. Generally, let it sit for 5 minutes, and when the glue no longer feels sticky to the touch, you can apply the patch. After applying the patch, use a rubber hammer to tap it, ensuring the patch fully adheres to the glue. Here are some precautions for tire repair: 1. Choose the right location: Always select a familiar and trustworthy auto repair shop to ensure your car is properly serviced and avoid repeated damage due to improper repairs. 2. Replace the tire first: If you notice a puncture in time, promptly replace it with the spare tire and drive to the repair shop. 3. Choose the right repair method: Cold patches and hot patches are the two most commonly used methods, but tires repaired with hot patches may become bumpy during later use, so more people are opting for cold patches. The mushroom plug repair method is also becoming popular as it addresses the shortcomings of cold and hot patches, but it is more expensive. 4. Wheel balancing: After repair, pay attention to the balance of all four wheels, which is also part of the installation process post-repair. Most importantly, ensure proper tire pressure.

How to Solve the Problem of Car Swaying Left and Right?

Solutions for car swaying left and right are as follows: 1. Tires: First, check the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure. For most family cars, it is set between 2.0 bar and 2.5 bar, with different values for front and rear wheels. Uneven tire pressure will inevitably cause the car to pull to one side. To ensure better tire usage, rotate the tires every 20,000 kilometers to promote even wear. Since the wear on the drive wheels is always greater than on other wheels, uneven friction can directly cause the car to pull to one side. 2. Suspension: Cars that have been in use for a certain number of years are prone to suspension aging, which can lead to the vehicle pulling to one side. Over time, issues such as frame deformation, front axle misalignment, negative toe-in, worn suspension arms, uneven front leaf spring tension, and loose tie rod ends can all cause the car to pull to one side. 3. Increased pulling during braking: Focus on inspecting the braking system, as unequal braking force on the left and right wheels can also cause the car to pull to one side. First, visually inspect the front brake discs and pads for oil contamination, water exposure, or hardening. If the brake discs and pads are normal, check for any brake caliper leaks, loose brake caliper mounting brackets, or issues with the brake pads not retracting properly.

Are Cars Afraid of Getting Wet in the Rain?

Cars are not afraid of getting wet in the rain. The only part that might potentially get damaged from rain exposure is the car paint. Although current environmental pollution is quite severe, and rainwater contains some acidic substances that can cause certain damage to the car paint, this level of damage is completely negligible. Here are some relevant details: 1. Cars are not that fragile or delicate. A car is a machine, not a piece of paper that gets soaked by rain. On rainy days, there are many cars coming and going on the roads, and cars without garages are parked outdoors without any getting ruined by the rain. 2. A car is essentially a consumable item, bought to serve people. Before leaving the factory, cars undergo similar rain tests to prevent the paint from being corroded by water. 3. In some heavily polluted areas, the air contains a lot of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and dust particles, which rise to the clouds and condense into acid rain that falls on the car body. Prolonged exposure to rain without timely cleaning can corrode the car's paint surface. Car paint corroded by acid rain will age, lose its luster, or even crack, so it's advisable to rinse the car body after rain exposure. If the car is parked outdoors, buying a car cover can help block rain, as well as protect against dust and sun, providing good protection for the car.

How long does it take for a 4S shop to repair a flooded car?

A flooded car usually takes about a week to repair in a 4S shop. The following is a related introduction to water-damaged cars: 1. Introduction 1: A "water-damaged car" refers to a vehicle that, due to heavy rain, was not moved by the owner in time and was submerged in water for a long period in underground garages or low-lying areas. 2. Introduction 2: Water-damaged cars are vehicles that have been soaked in water. They are divided into three categories based on the severity of the damage. The first category is when the water level exceeds the wheels and enters the interior of the car, the second category is when the water level exceeds the dashboard, and the third category is when the water level submerges the roof. 3. Introduction 3: The first category is the most common, and after repair, it has little impact on daily use. However, for the latter two categories where the water level exceeds the center console or completely submerges the car, even after repair, they remain a ticking time bomb. It is strongly advised that owners should not purchase such cars just because they are cheap.

Why can't the Kia K3 start?

The reasons why the Kia K3 cannot start include frozen exhaust pipe, valve coking, poor ignition system performance, and blocked fuel flow. Below are the specific factors for each reason: 1. Frozen exhaust pipe: Water vapor from engine combustion freezes at the muffler of the exhaust pipe. Short-distance driving may not completely melt yesterday's ice, leading to the accumulation of today's ice. Over time, this affects exhaust flow, and in severe cases, the car may fail to start. 2. Valve coking: In winter, especially after using unclean gasoline, the non-combustible gum in gasoline accumulates near the intake and exhaust valves and the combustion chamber. On cold mornings, this can make starting difficult or even prevent ignition. 3. Poor ignition system performance: In extremely cold weather, the low intake temperature causes poor fuel atomization in the cylinder. Combined with insufficient ignition energy, this can lead to cylinder flooding—where excessive fuel accumulates in the cylinder, exceeding the ignition limit concentration and preventing the car from starting. 4. Blocked fuel flow: This often occurs on extremely cold mornings due to long-term contamination of the fuel lines. At very low temperatures, water and debris mix, blocking the fuel lines and preventing the car from starting.

Is There a Safety Hazard with Tire Repair?

Repaired tires may pose safety hazards when driving at high speeds. Here are some related introductions to tire repair methods: 1. Traditional Plug Method: This is a relatively primitive method. The principle involves using a sharp tool like an awl to enlarge the puncture hole, then inserting a rubber strip coated with adhesive into the hole. It is simple to operate, very low-cost, and takes little time, without needing to separate the tire from the rim or perform dynamic balancing. 2. Patch Repair Method: This is the most common method, used by most tire repair shops. First, the tire is separated from the rim, and the damaged area inside the tire is sanded to help the adhesive bond more firmly. After cleaning the sanded debris, special tire repair adhesive is applied to the damaged area and its surroundings. A repair patch is then firmly pressed onto the damaged area and rolled to ensure adhesion, followed by another layer of adhesive. 3. Mushroom Plug Repair: The mushroom plug is currently the most advanced tire repair method, also an internal repair, requiring the tire and rim to be separated and dynamic balancing performed after repair. The difference between the mushroom plug and patch repair methods is that the mushroom plug can effectively fill the gaps in the puncture hole, preventing further damage to the affected area.
