According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," Subject 4 consists of a total of 50 questions, each worth 2 points, totaling 100 points. Questions 1-10 are true/false questions; questions 11-40 are single-choice questions; and questions 41-50 are multiple-choice questions. The test includes various question types such as image analysis, animated case studies, and text descriptions. The scope of Subject 4 covers driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, identification of common traffic signs, markings, and hand signals, accident rescue and hazardous material handling knowledge, comprehensive judgment of illegal behaviors and case analysis, emergency avoidance knowledge, safe driving knowledge, and driving ethics and civilized driving knowledge. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subjects 1 and 4. If the first attempt on the same day is unsuccessful, a retake can be conducted immediately. If the retake is also unsuccessful, a new appointment must be made, and no additional fees are required for retakes. However, it is important to note that the validity period of the driving skill test permit is three years. If the applicant fails to complete the test within this period, the results of any previously passed subjects will be voided. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which evaluates "driving ethics." Subject 4 is the colloquial term for the safety and civilization driving knowledge test under Subject 3 and is not a separate subject. Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no Subject 4. The safety and civilization driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3. Subject 4 Test Notes: Test Duration: The test lasts 30 minutes. If 12 points (6 questions) are incorrect during the test, the session will be terminated. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of license being tested, 50 questions are proportionally selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank. For car licenses, questions are selected from 800, while for large vehicle licenses, questions are selected from 1023. Each question is worth 2 points. Question Types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions. The first 45 questions are single-choice, and the last 5 are multiple-choice. The test also includes animated questions, image-based questions, scenario identification questions, and text-based questions. Retake Notes: If Subject 4 is not passed, only Subject 4 needs to be retaken. The driving school will schedule the retake, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. No additional fees are required for Subject 4 retakes. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 further divided into two parts. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; and Subject 3 refers to the road driving skills and safety and civilization driving knowledge test.

The Subject 4 test consists of 50 questions in total, all of which are multiple-choice and true/false questions. The question types include case-based questions, image-based questions, animation-based questions, etc. Each question is worth 2 points, with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above. The test duration is 45 minutes, and the system randomly selects questions from the question bank to form the test paper. The test scope mainly revolves around safe driving, emergency handling, and civilized driving, with the question bank being similar across different regions. Special attention should be paid to the questions that are easy to get wrong, such as tunnel driving, handling severe weather, and recognizing signs and markings. Practicing these questions repeatedly in advance can help avoid panic during the test.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the BMW 3 Series 320Li?

The fuel tank capacity of the BMW 320 is 59 liters, as officially announced. The BMW 320 requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.1-6.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 855-967km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
