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 exam 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 handling of common hazardous materials; 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 Driving Licenses," there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 1 and Subject 4. If the first attempt on the day is unsuccessful, a retake can be conducted on-site. 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 exams within this period, the results of any previously passed subjects will be invalidated. 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 the addition of a safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Subject 4 is the colloquial term for the Subject 3 safety and civilization driving knowledge test and is not a separate subject. Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 exam. Officially, there is no Subject 4. The safety and civilization driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3. Subject 4 Exam Notes: Exam Duration: The exam lasts 45 minutes, and incorrectly answering 10 points (5 questions) will terminate the exam. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of driving license being pursued, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank, each worth 2 points. Question Types: The exam includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions, with question types such as animated questions, image-based questions, scenario recognition 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 retakes. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 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.

I remember being super nervous during my Subject 4 test, but I passed it on the first try. The exam had a total of 50 questions, all multiple-choice, including single-choice and multiple-choice questions. The content was all about traffic safety knowledge, such as how to handle braking in rainy weather or what to do when encountering pedestrians. It took me about 30 minutes to finish. The questions weren’t difficult, but you had to read them carefully to avoid careless mistakes. You needed a score of at least 90 to pass, meaning getting 45 questions right. After passing, I got my driver’s license right away—super convenient. I recommend practicing with mock test apps before the exam to familiarize yourself with the question types—it really helps. The whole process was pretty quick, just remember to bring your ID. Oh, and this knowledge is really practical for everyday driving. Now, I can calmly handle any situation on the road.

During the coaching process for trainees, the standard setup for Subject 4 consists of 50 questions. With a full score of 100 points and a passing mark of 90, it means answering 45 questions correctly will lead to a pass. The questions mainly cover traffic regulations, emergency handling, and civilized driving knowledge, presented in multiple-choice format. I often remind beginners not to underestimate it—although it's theoretical, it involves practical scenarios like handling a flat tire or using lights at night. Practicing with question banks before the exam can improve efficiency. The exam duration is approximately 40 minutes, which is sufficient to complete. It's crucial to understand the principles rather than rote memorization, such as why driving after alcohol consumption is prohibited. Through these questions, new drivers can drive more safely on the road.

My child just passed Subject 4 of the driving test, and he mentioned there were 50 questions. As a parent, I was quite concerned about his mindset during the exam because these questions test common knowledge of safe driving. He explained that the questions covered road sign recognition and emergency response, with 45 correct answers needed to pass. During the actual test, he finished in just over 20 minutes and scored 96. Looking back, practicing with a mobile app really helped him. Now, I feel more at ease when he drives. Subject 4 lays the foundation and must be taken seriously. The final step of the driving test is crucial—don’t take it lightly, or it could delay getting the license.

What are the requirements for new drivers on the highway?

When driving on the highway, a passenger with at least three years of driving experience must accompany the new driver in the front seat. Here are some relevant tips: 1. Speed: You don't need to drive too fast, but try to maintain a steady speed. On roads with a speed limit of 100, you can keep your speed between 80-90, as this range is more manageable for new drivers. On roads with a speed limit of 120, maintain a speed of 90-100, as these roads usually have better conditions. Stay in the middle lane and try to drive at a constant speed. 2. Following too closely: New drivers may not react well to emergencies or handle them effectively, so it's safer to keep a distance of about 200 meters from the vehicle in front. Additionally, avoid following large vehicles, as they can obstruct your view of the road ahead.

According to Article 78 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," highways must indicate the speed limits for each lane. The maximum speed must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed must not be lower than 60 kilometers per hour. Article 67 states that pedestrians, non-motor vehicles, tractors, wheeled special machinery vehicles, articulated buses, full trailers, and other motor vehicles with a design speed of less than 70 kilometers per hour are prohibited from entering highways.

Why is the left side of the car body lower than the right side?

The reasons for the left side of the car body being lower than the right side are as follows: 1. There may be a problem with the shock absorber on one side of the car. 2. Or there may be an issue with the tire pressure of the car. Additional information: 1. Introduction to shock absorbers: Shock absorbers are wear-prone parts during car use. The performance of the shock absorbers directly affects the smoothness of the car's ride and the lifespan of other components, so the shock absorbers should always be kept in good working condition. 2. The reason for installing shock absorbers: To quickly dampen the vibration between the frame and the body, and to improve the smoothness and comfort of the car's ride, shock absorbers are generally installed on the car's suspension system. The most widely used type in cars is the double-acting telescopic shock absorber.
