There are 100 questions in Subject 1 of the driving license test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the questions are divided into single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer, with a time limit of 45 minutes. The content of Subject 1 includes: driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Notes for Subject 1 test: Candidates should pay attention to their attire, no slippers are allowed, electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the examination room, and they must bring their ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in the locker before entering the examination room. In the examination room, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding the seat, start the test, ensuring the camera is aligned with you and adhering to exam discipline. If you fail the first time, there is a retake opportunity on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect the score report and sign it; unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule Subject 1. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the exam. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only 5 attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests must be scheduled 10 days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. There are 3 subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such term as Subject 4.

I remember when I took the written test for my driver's license, there were 100 questions in total, all multiple-choice, covering traffic rules, safety knowledge, and so on. You needed to answer 90 correctly to pass. I prepared for half a month, practicing two hours every day, and luckily passed in the end. Looking back now, the number of questions was well-designed—it tested basic knowledge without being too difficult. Many people in the exam room were nervous, so I recommend practicing with mock tests regularly—practice makes perfect. If you're not well-prepared, it's easy to forget details like fine amounts or the meaning of road signs. Overall, this test volume helps solidify driving fundamentals, which is very useful for safe driving later on. Right after passing, I immediately felt more confident.

Hey, I just passed the subject one test this year with ease! There are a total of 100 questions, including single-choice and multiple-choice, with a time limit of 45 minutes. You need to answer 90 correctly to pass. I practiced many times with a driving test app and found that the question bank doesn’t change much—focus on memorizing traffic police hand signals and road signs. Don’t slack off during preparation; just do one hour of mock tests daily and check the explanations for mistakes. I scored 96 after just two weeks of prep—it’s pretty simple. The exam atmosphere is relaxed, so don’t over-study; staying calm is key. That knowledge really comes in handy when actually driving, like handling intersections.

The standard Subject One test consists of 100 questions covering traffic regulations and safety knowledge, such as penalties for drunk driving and accident handling procedures. The passing score is 90, with a computer-based exam format lasting 45 minutes. The question bank is selected from fixed sources by the transportation department to ensure comprehensive knowledge coverage. Preparation recommendations include studying official materials and practicing with mock tests. The moderate question quantity effectively evaluates a driver's grasp of fundamental knowledge.

Can a car with a bulging tire continue to drive normally?

It cannot continue to be used. Driving with a bulged car tire can easily lead to a blowout, endangering driving safety. It is necessary to replace the tire with a new one, especially during the high temperatures of summer, which makes it even more dangerous. Here are some relevant details: 1. Causes: Apart from installation and tire manufacturing reasons, most tire bulging occurs due to unexpected impacts with obstacles (e.g., potholes) during use, causing localized breaks in the tire wall's cord layers. 2. Precautions: Car tires are the direct contact point with the ground, serving as the bridge between the car and the road. If there is a problem with the tires, the car will not be able to drive normally. Therefore, car tires must be taken seriously, whether it's tire pressure or cracks in the car tires.

Can Temporary License Plates Get Traffic Violations?

Temporary license plates can also incur violations, and any illegal actions committed by the vehicle will be penalized according to the law. Below is additional information: 1. Relevant Regulations: According to Article 87 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," traffic police and traffic management departments of public security authorities should promptly correct any road traffic safety violations. They must impose penalties based on facts and relevant provisions of the law. For minor violations that do not affect road traffic, offenders may receive a verbal warning before being released. 2. Speeding Violations: Speeding with a temporary license plate can result in demerit points, though fines may not always apply. If the speed exceeds the limit by less than 10%, a warning is issued without a fine. Exceeding the limit by 10% or more will incur a fine. Temporary license plates are issued by the vehicle management office as provisional permits and hold the same legal effect as regular plates until official plates are obtained. Therefore, drivers must still adhere to traffic laws when using temporary plates.

How Serious Is a Vehicle Sensor Malfunction?

Automotive sensor malfunctions are very serious. Introduction to Sensors: There are many sensors throughout a vehicle, and their role is extremely important. The sensors work closely together, and if one sensor fails or malfunctions, the corresponding device may not operate properly or at all, affecting the vehicle's performance. Function of Sensors: Sensors are the input devices of a vehicle's computer system. They convert various operational conditions (such as speed, temperature of different mediums, engine operating conditions, etc.) into electrical signals and transmit them to the computer, ensuring the engine operates in the optimal state. Fault Diagnosis: When diagnosing a sensor malfunction, in addition to checking the sensor itself, it is also necessary to inspect the wiring harness, connectors, and the relevant circuits between the sensor and the electronic control unit.
