According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," Subject 4 consists of a total of 50 questions, each worth 2 points, making a total of 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 question types such as image analysis, animation cases, and text descriptions. The scope of Subject 4 questions covers driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions; identification of common traffic signs, markings, and hand signals; knowledge of accident rescue and handling of common hazardous chemicals; comprehensive judgment of illegal behaviors and case analysis; knowledge of avoiding danger in emergencies; safe driving knowledge; and knowledge of driving ethics and civilized driving. 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 Subject 1 and Subject 4. If the first attempt on the day is unsuccessful, a make-up exam can be taken on-site. If the make-up exam is also unsuccessful, a new appointment is required, and no additional fees are charged for the make-up exam. 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 exam 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." 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. In official terms, 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 30 minutes. If 12 points (6 questions) are lost during the exam, the session will be terminated. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of driver's license being tested, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank in proportion. For small vehicle licenses, questions are selected from a pool of 800, while for large vehicle licenses, questions are selected from a pool of 1,023. Each question is worth 2 points. Question Types: The exam 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 exam also includes animation questions, image questions, scenario identification questions, and text description questions. Make-up Exam Notes: If Subject 4 is not passed, only Subject 4 needs to be retaken. The driving school will schedule the make-up exam, and there is no limit to the number of attempts. If unsuccessful, the exam can be retaken indefinitely, and no additional fees are required for the make-up exam. There are a total of 3 subjects in the driver's license test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 3 is divided into two parts. Subject 1 refers to the examination of 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 test duration is 45 minutes, with a full score of 100 points, and a passing score of 90. Here’s a special reminder for test-takers: the last 5 questions are multiple-choice questions and are the easiest to lose points on. It is recommended to practice extensively on apps like "Driving Test Treasure" or "Driving School One Pass" beforehand. When I took the Subject 4 test, I noticed many questions were from the question bank, especially those related to traffic police gestures, road signs, and emergency handling procedures. The day before the test, it’s advisable to take several mock tests to ensure your accuracy rate is above 95% before taking the actual exam.

My instructor previously emphasized that there are a total of 50 questions in Subject 4, with the first 40+ being single-choice and true/false questions, while the last 5 multiple-choice questions are particularly crucial. The exam system does not allow modifying answers after submitting each question, which requires special attention. Personally, I feel the questions are actually simpler than those in Subject 1, mainly testing common sense about safe driving. If preparation time is tight, prioritize practicing question banks on topics like accident handling and driving in severe weather conditions, as these are almost guaranteed to appear. Back then, I completed 10 sets of mock tests before going to the exam center and passed on my first attempt.

The Subject 4 test consists of 50 questions, with a format similar to Subject 1 but more focused on practical driving. If you have ample time during the exam, don't rush to submit—I've personally seen a friend fail with an 89 because they accidentally submitted early. Key points to memorize include nighttime light usage rules and emergency avoidance principles, which are high-frequency test topics. The exam isn't overly difficult, but for multiple-choice questions, selecting wrong answers or missing correct ones will deduct points. It's recommended to use spare time to practice on your phone, with special focus on marking and repeatedly reviewing incorrect questions.

What is the load limit for a four-axle vehicle?

Four-axle vehicles have a load limit of 31 tons. They are flexible, stable, and in high demand in the industry, but their body weight is at least around 10 tons. Therefore, some regions still set the overload limit for four-axle vehicles at 36 tons. However, according to the official regulations, the load limit for four-axle vehicles will be uniformly set at 31 tons. Overload and over-limit criteria include: total width not exceeding 2.55 meters or length not exceeding 18.1 meters, total height of the vehicle and cargo exceeding 4 meters from the ground, total width of the vehicle and cargo exceeding 2.55 meters, total length of the vehicle and cargo exceeding 18.1 meters, total mass of a two-axle truck and its cargo exceeding 18,000 kilograms, total mass of a three-axle truck and its cargo exceeding 25,000 kilograms, total mass of a three-axle vehicle and its cargo exceeding 27,000 kilograms, and total mass of a four-axle truck and its cargo exceeding 31,000 kilograms.

What does the A/C button in the car mean?

The A/C button in the car refers to the air conditioning cooling button. Air conditioning cooling: When you press the A/C button in the car, the air conditioning compressor clutch engages, and the car's air conditioning compressor starts working. This causes the engine to drive the compressor, initiating the cooling process, and the air conditioner begins to blow cold air. When the AC light turns on after pressing the AC button, it indicates that the car's air conditioning cooling function is in operation. Types of car air conditioning: Car air conditioning is divided into cold air conditioning and warm air conditioning. Warm air conditioning does not require turning on the air conditioning switch; you only need to activate the blower to utilize the engine's heat for warming. This is because the warm air in a car's air conditioning system is not produced by the compressor but relies on the engine's coolant temperature to provide the heat source.

What are the symptoms of a faulty engine solenoid valve?

When the engine solenoid valve is faulty, the following symptoms may occur: unstable engine idle; jerking when shifting gears; engine prone to stalling; abnormal increase in fuel consumption. In severe cases, there may be issues such as incorrect mixture concentration, excessive oil vapor in the engine, and weak ignition. Automotive Solenoid Valve: Automotive solenoid valves are actuators in the electronic control system. They can be categorized by function into shift solenoid valves, lock-up solenoid valves, and pressure-regulating solenoid valves, and by operation mode into on-off solenoid valves and pulse-width modulated solenoid valves. Solenoid Valve Trouble Codes: First, read the trouble codes by connecting a diagnostic tool to access the automatic transmission control unit and query the stored trouble codes. If a sensor signal loss that prevents the automatic transmission control unit from identifying shift timing occurs, or if a shift solenoid valve stores a trouble code, the automatic transmission will enter a fail-safe mode.

What are the reasons for high car water temperature?

High car water temperature is caused by issues such as damage to the cooling system's radiator fan. Hazards of high water temperature: After the engine cooling system overheats, the cooling system pipes may burst, or the heater core may rupture, leading to water damage to electrical components in the cabin. It can also damage the engine cylinder head gasket. If the cylinder head gasket is damaged, coolant may enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion, potentially bending the connecting rod. Excessive engine temperature can cause engine oil to become too thin, reducing its ability to effectively lubricate internal engine components, leading to accelerated wear of engine bearings, crankshaft scoring, and piston seizure. Maintenance misconceptions: Blindly removing the engine thermostat; believing that engine temperature should be kept as low as possible; thinking that the tighter the water pump fan belt, the better; warming up the engine at idle; using a blowtorch to heat the oil pan.

Does a 7-speed dry DSG require oil change?

7-speed dry DSG requires transmission oil replacement. Transmission Concept: Transmission mainly refers to the vehicle's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions primarily consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations; whereas automatic transmissions (AT) are composed of torque converters, planetary gears, and hydraulic control systems, achieving speed and torque variation via hydraulic transmission and gear combinations. Transmission Functions: Altering the transmission ratio; enabling the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the engine's rotation direction; utilizing neutral gear to interrupt power transmission, allowing the engine to start, idle, and facilitating gear shifting or power output.
