According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," Subject 4 consists 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, recognition of common traffic signs, markings, and hand signals, accident rescue and hazardous material handling knowledge, comprehensive judgment of violations 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 Driver's Licenses," there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subjects 1 and 4. If you fail the first attempt on the same day, you can retake it immediately. If you still fail, you need to reschedule the test, and no additional fee is required for the retake. 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 the validity 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 driver's 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 the safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "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. Since 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 45 minutes. If you make 10 mistakes (5 questions) during the test, the session will be terminated. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of license being tested, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank, with each question worth 2 points. Question Types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions, covering animated questions, image-based questions, scenario recognition questions, and text-based questions. Retake Notes: If you fail Subject 4, you only need to retake Subject 4. The driving school will schedule the retake, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. You can retake the test until you pass, and no additional fee is required for the retake. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 3 is divided into two parts. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; 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.

Should You Use Cold or Hot Air to Defog the Car in Summer?

In summer, use cold air to defog the car. Here are some related tips: 1. Open windows for air convection: Crack open both side windows slightly to allow air circulation inside the car. When the interior temperature approaches the outside temperature, the fog will dissipate. 2. Use air conditioning for defogging: Press the A/C button (which represents air conditioning cooling), lower the temperature setting, activate the window defogging function, and set the fan speed to maximum. This rapidly cools the window glass surface through water vapor evaporation, achieving defogging. 3. Use defogging spray: The principle of defogging spray is to create an effective protective film when applied to the windshield.

What is the lifespan of a dry clutch?

Dry clutches have a lifespan of 200,000-300,000 kilometers. Introduction to dry clutches: A dry clutch uses air for cooling. Even when operating under prolonged partial engagement conditions, the clutch should not exhibit overheating. Due to poor heat dissipation, dry dual-clutch systems face higher risks of clutch plate overheating or even burning in congested urban areas, whereas wet dual-clutch transmissions are more technologically mature. Introduction to wet dual-clutch: Wet dual-clutch plates are immersed in transmission fluid, while dry dual-clutch plates directly contact the engine flywheel. Since wet dual-clutch plates operate in hydraulic oil, which provides cooling effects, they offer more stable performance.

What is the free clearance of the clutch?

Generally, the standard value for clutch free clearance is 0.5-2.0mm. The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission. Clutch clearance refers to the gap between the front and rear end faces of the driven disc and the surfaces of the flywheel and pressure plate after the clutch is disengaged. The clutch pedal free travel refers to the pedal travel from pressing the clutch pedal to eliminating the free clearance.
