Subject 2 can be taken a maximum of five times. The test items for small vehicle C1 and C2 Subject 2 include five mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-curves). Some regions also include a sixth item: highway toll card collection. Below are introductions to other test subjects: 1. Subject 1: Also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test format is computer-based, consisting of 100 questions, with a passing score of 90 or above. 2. Subject 3: Includes road driving skills test and safety and civilized driving knowledge test, which are part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's test. The content of the road driving skills test varies for different types of vehicles. 3. Subject 4: Also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. Subject 3 test is divided into two parts: besides the road test, a safety and civilized driving knowledge test is added, commonly known as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." The test paper consists of 50 questions, mainly in the form of case studies, pictures, animations, etc., with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90.

When I first started learning to drive, I also wondered how many times you can take the driving test for Subject 2 before stopping. Later, I learned that each person can take the Subject 2 test a maximum of 5 times. If you fail all 5 attempts, your previous registration becomes invalid, and you have to start over from Subject 1, including paying fees and undergoing medical exams again. I passed on my second try—I made a mistake due to nervousness the first time. My advice is to practice more, like simulating reverse parking multiple times to get familiar with the reference points. There’s about a week’s gap between each test, so don’t rush if you fail—adjust your mindset. This rule is in place to emphasize safety and ensure you master the skills before hitting the road. Talking more and exchanging experiences with those who’ve passed can be very helpful.

From the perspective of the driving test rules, there are 5 attempts for Subject 2. If you fail 5 times in a row, the entire driver's license application becomes invalid, and you need to re-register and go through the process again. The results are usually available a few days after the test. If you fail, you'll have to wait for the next scheduled test, typically with an interval of more than a week. The original intention of this design is to improve driving skills and ensure road safety. I recommend focusing on practicing weak areas, such as common mistakes in hill starts. Many people pass after three or four attempts, so don't give up. It's effective to have a friend record your practice sessions for feedback.

I passed the second driving test on my third attempt, which was quite a hassle. The second test has a limit of five attempts; if you fail all five, you have to reapply for the driver's license. When I failed, I took a break for a few days before scheduling the test again. The key is to practice more and maintain steady control, especially with the speed. I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I passed, but the whole process taught me patience. Safe driving starts here. Practice is fundamental.

Helping many people with their driving tests, I know that the second subject can be attempted up to 5 times. Failing all 5 attempts requires reapplying for the entire driving course, which consumes both time and money. Therefore, it's crucial to master the basic skills before taking the test. Mock exams are very important to identify and correct mistakes. Staying relaxed is key, as many fail due to nervousness leading to operational errors. Safety comes first, and the attempt limit is reasonable. Before the test, check the vehicle and familiarize yourself with the test site.

Can You Still Drive If the Car Battery Is Smoking?

You cannot continue driving if the car battery is smoking. Continuing to drive may cause the wiring to burn out, and the battery fluid may evaporate, leading to the battery becoming unusable. Possible reasons for the battery smoking include: 1. Damaged separator plate. 2. Aging circuits or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. 3. A faulty charger causing excessively high charging current and voltage. 4. Poor-quality or damaged separator plates, allowing active material from the electrodes to pass through. If the separator plate is of poor quality, impurities may form when ions cross it, causing a short circuit between the plates. 5. A large short-circuit current can scorch the separator plate, worsening the short circuit between the plates and further increasing the short-circuit current, creating a vicious cycle. Eventually, smoke may be emitted from the battery's vent.

What to Do When There Is Water Under the Driver's Side Floor Mat?

How to handle water under the driver's side floor mat in a car: 1. The water under the driver's side floor mat is most likely condensation from the air conditioning. 2. When the car's air conditioning is in cooling mode, it generates a significant amount of water, which is typically drained outside the vehicle through a drainage hose connected near the condenser. If this hose was not properly connected to the undercarriage during manufacturing, the water may accumulate inside the car. 3. If the issue is minor, you can locate and reconnect the hose yourself. However, if water has entered the exhaust pipe, do not start the engine. Instead, arrange for a tow truck to take the vehicle to a 4S service center for professional repair. 4. If the water accumulation is due to clogged drainage holes or channels, preventing rainwater from draining properly, promptly clean the drainage outlets, remove the water under the floor mat, dry the carpet surface, and replace the mats with waterproof full-coverage floor mats.

What Causes the ABS Light to Illuminate After a Vehicle Inspection?

There are various states of the ABS light being on, with different causes and solutions for each state. The details are as follows: State 1: ABS warning light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS speed sensor's sensing part is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting its ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle speed and the wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to adjust braking. Solution: Clean the dirt off the speed sensor and adjust the gap between the speed sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Loose connections between system lines or poor contact of the ABS relay lead to signal issues, causing system failure. Solution: Check the line connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off when accelerating. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As the engine speed increases and voltage rises, the ABS light turns off. The ABS system's power supply voltage is too low, possibly due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light stays on after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact of the ABS hydraulic valve body; poor contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body's wiring connector; ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, then retighten it, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check if the connector gap has widened; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: During high-speed driving, the ABS computer detects a significant discrepancy between the rear and front wheel speed signals; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the label near the fuel tank cap. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: With the engine running, press the brake pedal, push the brake switch linkage down fully with a finger, then release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position; replace the brake light switch. If the ABS warning light is on, it is advised not to continue driving. An illuminated ABS light indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may skid uncontrollably, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's path, posing significant safety risks.

What is Brake Pedal Free Travel?

Pedal from the stop position to the step to the end of the distance. The following is part of the introduction about the brake pedal free travel: Function: The pedal free travel is a function set to ensure that there is no brake drag and the brake is completely released. Measurement: When measuring, place a straightedge between the brake pedal and the cab floor, press the brake pedal down by hand until there is resistance, and record the straightedge reading. Then release the pedal and look at the straightedge reading again. The difference between the two readings is the pedal free travel. The free travel of the hydraulic brake pedal is generally 15-20mm, and it should be adjusted according to the value specified by the vehicle model.

What to Do When There's Abnormal Noise During Low-Speed Braking?

Reasons for abnormal noise during low-speed braking include excessive wear of brake pads, improper contact surface, water exposure, and wear. Specific explanations are as follows: Excessive wear of brake pads: Leads to the exposure of friction material fixing points, causing friction with the brake disc or brake drum and resulting in abnormal noise. Solution: Replace the brake pads. Improper contact surface: After replacing the brake pads, if the contact surface with the brake disc or drum does not fit properly, it can form point or line contact, leading to abnormal noise. Solution: Perform a break-in for the vehicle. Water exposure: Brakes may produce abnormal noise after the car has been exposed to water. Solution: Handle according to the water drainage situation, remove accumulated water, and replace the corresponding parts. Wear: Excessive wear of the brake disc or brake drum. Solution: Replace the brake disc or brake drum.
