The driving license test for Subject 1 consists of 100 questions. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," these 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 exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical exam or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 exam content: 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. Subject 1 exam precautions: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the exam; no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam hall. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the exam hall. Upon entering, the identity verification desk will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the exam, ensuring the camera is aligned with you and adhering to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, there is a retake opportunity on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it; unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake opportunity if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the exam process ends, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only 5 exam attempts, and rescheduling must be done at least 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 exam; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills exam; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official terminology (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include the term "Subject 4."

I just got my driver's license recently and remember that there were a total of 100 questions in Subject One, mostly multiple-choice and true/false questions. The questions covered core content like traffic rules, road signs, and safe driving. At the time, I used the Driving Test Prep app to practice questions, taking mock tests every day, and found the content quite comprehensive—it included things like accident handling methods and the consequences of drunk driving. The exam had a 45-minute time limit, and after finishing, I had to double-check to avoid failing due to too many mistakes. From a beginner's perspective, spending time understanding the rules during preparation is crucial—it's not just about memorizing questions but developing safe driving habits to avoid real-world problems. I recommend practicing for at least two weeks, averaging an hour a day, to familiarize yourself with common trick questions, like speed limit variations, for the best results.

As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I remember the Subject 1 test always had around 100 questions. The questions mainly covered traffic regulations, signal signs, and safety knowledge, divided into single-choice and true/false questions. Back when I was preparing, we used textbooks to study, but now I hear using apps is more convenient as they can simulate the actual exam environment. The test must be completed within the allotted time, focusing on key knowledge points like road priority rules and emergency first aid. I recommend beginners to study thoroughly and understand the principles behind the rules, such as why yielding to pedestrians is important, as this is crucial for developing good driving habits. Don't cram at the last minute; prepare a week or two in advance, do some mock tests from question banks, and ensure you grasp the core safety points.

Based on teaching experience, the standard Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions. The questions cover driving basics, traffic rules, and laws & regulations, such as intersection passing rules and eco-driving concepts. It's recommended that students practice with online tools and take mock tests to familiarize themselves with question types. The exam is time-sensitive, so balancing speed and accuracy is essential during practice. The key is to understand the content rather than memorize mechanically, as applying safety knowledge in real driving scenarios can prevent accidents. For example, memorizing the meaning of speed limit signs is highly practical. Preparation time varies by individual, typically one to two weeks is sufficient, with focused efforts on tackling difficult areas.

What does a pedestrian crossing sign look like?

A pedestrian crossing sign is a blue rectangle with a white triangle in the middle. Inside the white triangle, there is a person walking on a zebra crossing. The role of crossing signs: With the rapid development of cities, the construction of road networks is also in full swing to meet the growing travel needs of people. Road traffic signs are the direct medium through which legal provisions interact with people. The rationality of road traffic sign placement directly affects whether roads are smooth, whether there are management loopholes, and even a wrong sign guidance can lead to serious traffic accidents. The functions of crossing signs: Warning: This type of sign is very frequently visible, usually red in color, to inform pedestrians or vehicles passing by of potential safety hazards in advance, reminding people to be vigilant and take precautions against related risks; Prohibition: Unlike warning signs, prohibition signs have a command attribute. There is a Chinese idiom called 'orders are strictly enforced,' which fits perfectly in the context of road traffic laws and regulations. For example, if a road ahead is under construction or undergoing temporary special operations due to certain factors, a no-entry sign is usually displayed, which is a typical prohibition-type sign. Similarly, on other types of roads, there are various specific scenario-based prohibition signs; Guidance: Guidance signs are probably the most numerous and common among all types of signs. Regardless of the level of the road, there will be a wide variety of guidance signs.

Should I Inflate My Tires to 2.1 Bar in Autumn?

Autumn tire pressure of 2.1 bar requires inflation. Winter temperatures are relatively low, and due to thermal expansion and contraction, tire pressure will also change. Generally, the normal range of tire pressure is around 2.5 bar, which can be set as usual. However, after entering winter, the tire pressure should be increased slightly. Generally, adjusting it to 2.6 bar is the most suitable and safest range. Tire pressure standards for different tires: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: Should not exceed 3.5 bar. Normal winter tire pressure: In winter, adjust the tire pressure based on the standard tire pressure of the car tires, increasing it by about 0.2 bar. Normal summer tire pressure: Generally, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure for car tires is sufficient. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4 bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures.

Why aren't the high-speed gantry-mounted spotlights canceled?

Gantry structures don't significantly impact safety and serve irreplaceable functions, hence they haven't been removed. Gantries provide supplementary lighting: The spotlights mounted on gantries, also called fill lights, enable the license plate capture systems installed on these structures to take clearer photos with more substantial evidence. As the name suggests, highways involve higher vehicle speeds, where traffic violations become more dangerous when occurring at such velocities. Meeting illumination requirements: Fill lights should ensure uniform illumination within their coverage area, without dark spots or noticeable flickering. At 20 meters from the lighting device, the peak illuminance on the reference axis should be below 300lx, with average illuminance under 50lx, and visible light color temperature between 3000-5500K. This brightness level is roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary streetlight.

Do I need to affix the new vehicle annual inspection sticker?

In regions where electronic stickers are implemented, the new vehicle annual inspection sticker does not need to be affixed. In 2020, electronic inspection labels were fully promoted to replace the paper version of the annual inspection pass sticker. Electronic inspection labels and paper annual inspection stickers have the same legal effect. In provinces and cities that have implemented electronic annual inspection stickers, the inspection pass sticker does not need to be affixed. Regions without electronic stickers: In areas where electronic inspection labels have not been implemented, the inspection pass sticker must continue to be affixed. Penalties for not affixing the inspection pass sticker: According to Article 13 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": The motor vehicle inspection pass sticker and insurance sticker shall be affixed to the upper right corner of the front window of the motor vehicle. Failure to affix the relevant vehicle stickers as required is a violation of the law. If the annual inspection sticker is not affixed, a penalty of 1 point deduction and a fine will be imposed. Placing it on the dashboard will also result in a fine. Affixing the annual inspection sticker will result in a penalty of 1 point deduction and a fine, and placing it on the dashboard will also result in a fine.

What is the mnemonic for the Subject 3 lighting test?

Subject 3 lighting simulation mnemonic is as follows: High beam: When driving on roads with low visibility, use the high beam correctly. On poorly lit or unlit road sections, the high beam can be used. Alternating high and low beams: When passing sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, or crosswalks at night, alternate between high and low beams no less than 2 times. When passing intersections without traffic signals at night, alternate between high and low beams no less than 2 times. When overtaking vehicles ahead at night, alternate between high and low beams no less than 2 times. Position lights and hazard warning lights: For temporary parking on the roadside, use position lights + hazard warning lights. In case of vehicle malfunction that obstructs traffic and is difficult to move, use position lights + hazard warning lights.

Why Is the First Year Insurance More Expensive for a Transferred Vehicle?

The reason why the first year insurance is more expensive for a transferred vehicle is: Compared to a new car, the performance of a used car has a significant gap, and once a used car is involved in an accident, the resulting losses are much greater than those of a new car. Therefore, according to the calculation rules of insurance premiums, the insurance cost for a used car will be relatively higher. Price Affects Premiums: The price of the used car will also affect the insurance cost to some extent. Additionally, the high insurance cost is mainly due to the variety of insurance types involved in vehicle transfer. Remember to Get the Insurance Policy When Transferring Insurance: After the vehicle insurance is transferred, the claim history of the traded vehicle is also very important. A car with a claim history often has higher insurance premiums than one without. Therefore, it is crucial to request the original insurance policy from the previous owner. If the vehicle had previous accidents that were overlooked, the new owner will have to bear the additional insurance costs.
