There is no limit to the number of retakes for the Driving Test Theory Exam (Subject 1). On the same day, you can retake it once. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," candidates can take the Subject 1 exam twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free the second time. If you still fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 exam for that session will be terminated, and you can only schedule another exam after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the Theory Exam or Driver Theory Test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam covers theoretical driving knowledge, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related topics. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. To pass the Subject 1 exam, you need a score of 90 out of 100. The test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 exam content includes: driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Exam precautions for Subject 1: Candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the exam room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned station and begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam rules. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After finishing, queue to collect your score report and sign it—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of scheduling attempts for the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you skip the retake or fail it, the exam session ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 have only five exam attempts. Scheduling for Subject 2 and Subject 3 must be done after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 Safe Driving Knowledge Test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4, though this term is not officially recognized in regulations (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123).

How many kilometers can a motorcycle run on a full tank of gas?

A motorcycle can run 600-800 kilometers on a full tank of gas. Notes on calculating fuel consumption: Different motorcycles have different displacements, capacities, and fuel consumption rates. The actual distance a full tank can cover is influenced by many factors. Therefore, to accurately calculate how far a full tank can take you, you need to first understand the motorcycle's displacement, capacity, and fuel consumption. Factors affecting motorcycle fuel consumption: Vehicle itself: Vehicle condition, body weight, displacement, etc.; condition includes whether the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and spark plugs are within their normal service life; whether the chain or belt is properly maintained—a dirty chain creates significant resistance, while a loose belt can slip; whether the brake and wheel alignment is normal, as improper alignment increases wheel resistance; whether the axle fastening tightness is appropriate—both front and rear axles have specified torque values, and overtightening will increase fuel consumption.

How many days does it take for paint to dry?

Automotive painting requires at least one day. Painting in a paint booth: If the vehicle is painted in a paint booth, since it has already stayed in the booth for 3-4 hours, it can be washed immediately after being taken out. For vehicles painted at an authorized 4S shop, they can be washed when the staff delivers the vehicle, as the vehicle has completed the standard painting process. Just remind the car wash staff to be careful. Precautions for automotive painting: If spraying a single door panel and the orange peel effect is too pronounced, don't worry—there's a solution. You can add blending solvent to the clear coat. The ratio is 50 parts of mixed clear coat to 100 parts of blending solvent. Then, spray it evenly, being careful not to hold the spray gun too close to avoid runs. Just apply an even coat of gloss.

After how many years does a vehicle require annual inspection?

Vehicles over 10 years old require annual inspection, while those over 15 years old require inspection every 6 months. Adjustment of annual inspection cycle: According to previous regulations, private vehicles aged 6-10 years required annual inspection. After the implementation of the new 'streamlining administration and delegating power' policy, this has been adjusted to biennial inspection. In simple terms, non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles within 10 years now require biennial inspection, with only the 6th and 8th years necessitating on-site testing. Precautions for vehicle annual inspection Vehicle annual inspections are based on the registration date. If the insurance policy is due to expire within 15 days at the time of inspection, it is essential to renew the insurance before proceeding with the inspection.

Do I Need to Drive the Vehicle Back for License Plate Registration After Transferring a Used Car?

Yes, the vehicle needs to be driven back for license plate registration after transferring a used car. Article 19, Paragraph 1 of the Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations stipulates: When applying for a transfer registration, the motor vehicle owner shall fill out an application form, submit the vehicle for inspection, and provide the required certificates and documents. This regulation clearly states that for motor vehicle transfer registration, i.e., transfer of ownership, the vehicle must be 'submitted for inspection.' Since the vehicle needs to be submitted for inspection, it naturally means driving the vehicle to the vehicle management office. Therefore, the vehicle to be transferred must be driven there. Notes for Cross-Region Transfer: 1. The original sealed vehicle file must be available. 2. A transaction invoice is required. 3. Compliance with local vehicle registration policies (same for both new and used vehicles).

Will driving with the handbrake on cause engine oil leakage?

Driving with the handbrake on will not cause engine oil leakage, but it will increase fuel consumption. Hazards of driving with the handbrake engaged: Driving with the handbrake engaged for a long time can cause the brake caliper to seize, brake fluid leakage, and an increase in brake fluid temperature, which may lead to a complete loss of braking function, premature wear of brake components, and other issues. Long-term driving with the handbrake engaged may require handbrake replacement: Drivers should always remember to release the handbrake when driving. Additionally, if the vehicle has been driven with the handbrake engaged for a considerable distance, it is advisable to have the brake pads inspected at an after-sales service center to assess the extent of damage. Replacement should be done promptly for safety reasons. Prolonged driving with the handbrake engaged can cause the steel cables to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, long-term use will reduce effectiveness, and the handbrake's travel distance will also increase.

How many kilometers should a motorcycle go before cleaning carbon deposits?

Under normal circumstances, carbon deposits in motorcycles do not require special cleaning. With usage, carbon deposits will be expelled through the exhaust, and engine oil also has a certain ability to clean carbon deposits. Generally, unless there are issues like burning oil or poor combustion, carbon deposits will not accumulate excessively. If the motorcycle operates without any abnormalities, there is no need to worry about it. Effects of carbon deposits: If there is a large amount of carbon deposits in the engine, it will affect the engine's performance. The most direct manifestations are increased engine vibration, higher fuel consumption, and reduced power. The main reasons for these issues are directly related to carbon deposits affecting the engine's heat dissipation, altering the ignition timing, and disrupting the engine's combustion state. Introduction to carbon deposits: These byproducts produced during the combustion process in a motorcycle engine are partially expelled through the exhaust pipe under the powerful impact of the piston. However, some stubborn residues will gradually settle in the combustion chamber and, over time, turn into what is known as carbon deposits.
