There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject 1 exam, and it does not count toward the three-year validity period. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," you can take the Subject 1 exam twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free. If you fail the second attempt, the exam will be terminated, and you can only reschedule it after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The exam content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. The passing score for the Subject 1 exam is 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: Driver's 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. Subject 1 exam precautions: Candidates should dress appropriately for the exam—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 large screen before entering the exam room, and store personal belongings in a locker. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned station and begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect and sign your score report—unsigned reports are invalid. Note: There is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 1, but Subjects 2 and 3 only allow five attempts each. If you fail all five attempts, 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 and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."

How to Calculate Three Inspection Cycles for Motor Vehicles?

For annual inspections conducted once a year, the inspection cycle is one year from the month the vehicle passed the inspection. Specific details are as follows: 1. Example: If the inspection was in March 2015, then March 2016 is one inspection cycle, and three inspection cycles would be March 2018. However, if your vehicle is over 15 years old, the inspection cycle becomes every six months. Inspection cycles vary depending on the vehicle type and age. 2. Additional Information: Passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, every 6 months. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, every 6 months.

What to Do When Your Driver's License Points Are Insufficient?

You must immediately pay all the fines for the accumulated points. The traffic police will temporarily suspend your driver's license, and you will need to attend a seven-day training course and take the subject one exam. After passing the exam, you can retrieve your driver's license. Specific details are as follows: 1. Driver's License Category: If it is an A or B class driver's license, you will also need to complete a downgrade procedure. After completing the downgrade, you must drive vehicles according to the permitted vehicle types specified by the new license. 2. At the End of the Current Scoring Cycle: As long as there are no new points accumulated, by the end of the current scoring cycle, your driver's license will be restored to the full 12 points.

What to Do If You Fail the Color Blindness Test During Driver's License Physical Examination?

On-site re-examination is required. If the result remains unchanged, you need to go to a hospital at or above the county level (or a hospital designated by the traffic police) for further examination. Specific information is as follows: 1. Driver's license renewal physical examination: If you fail the physical examination for driver's license renewal, your license may be downgraded or revoked. 2. Additional information: To apply for large passenger vehicles, large trucks, or trolleybuses, the height requirement is 155 cm or above; for these vehicle types, naked or corrected vision must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other vehicle types, naked or corrected vision must reach 4.9 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart; color vision: no red-green color blindness.

What are the differences between new energy vehicles and fuel-powered vehicles?

New energy vehicles and fuel-powered vehicles differ in terms of range and operating costs, among other factors. Advantages of new energy vehicles: New energy vehicles offer benefits such as no driving restrictions, exemption from purchase tax, low electricity costs, and low maintenance costs. However, their drawbacks include short range, scarcity of charging stations, slow charging speeds, and high battery replacement costs. They can significantly improve energy efficiency and reduce air pollution. Advantages of fuel-powered vehicles: Fuel-powered vehicles have relatively mature technology, and their range is not limited, as gas stations are widely available. However, their disadvantages include high maintenance costs and driving restrictions. In cities, roads are often congested with vehicles, and frequent traffic lights require constant stopping and starting.

Will the Direction Be Out of Control if the Rear Tire Blows Out?

In this situation, the direction will be out of control. The danger of a rear tire blowout is far greater than that of a front tire blowout, especially for rear-wheel-drive models. At the moment of a rear tire blowout, the car will immediately fishtail and lose control, with almost no chance of recovery. When a rear tire blows out, the adhesion of one side of the tire disappears instantly, causing the car to immediately sideslip and fishtail, similar to how a car slides on an icy road. Generally, if a front tire blows out, a left front tire blowout will cause the car to veer to the left, and a right front tire blowout will cause it to veer to the right. However, with a rear tire blowout, the car loses steering force and may suddenly experience oversteering, commonly referred to as "fishtailing." In severe cases of fishtailing, the car may spin out, as seen in movies or live racing broadcasts. Therefore, comparatively speaking, at high speeds, the danger caused by a rear tire blowout is more severe. For example, if the right rear tire blows out, the resistance of the blown-out wheel increases by about 30 times, causing the car to experience a clockwise yaw moment. This yaw moment makes the car veer to the right while simultaneously generating a lateral force pointing toward the inside of the blown-out tire, causing the rear of the car to slide inward toward the blown-out tire.

Does stalling a manual transmission car when shifting gears affect the vehicle?

Stalling a manual transmission car during startup can cause damage to the vehicle. Negative effects on the engine: The engine's RPM drops sharply when the vehicle starts, causing the engine to sputter and nearly stall, which is a severe case of lugging. Impact on car components: Sudden loss of power while the engine is running can lead to severe friction and component collision damage. Internal engine effects: The ECU automatically adjusts, injecting an overly rich air-fuel mixture. If the fuel ratio in the mixture is too high, the fuel cannot burn completely, adhering to the surfaces of internal engine components. Under high temperatures, this can lead to carbon buildup.
