Subject 4 is a theoretical test on safe and civilized driving, and there is no specific limit on the number of times you can take it, but there is a time limit. The validity period of the driving skill test permit is three years. If the applicant fails to complete the test within the validity period, the results of the already passed subjects will be invalidated. Below is relevant information: 1. Subject 4: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The original test consisted of Subject 1 (theoretical test), Subject 2 (yard test), electronic subject test, and Subject 3 (road test). According to the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123, a theoretical test is required after the road test. Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test. 2. Test Content: Subject 4 extracts the requirements related to safe and civilized driving from the original Subject 1, including safe driving skills under complex conditions and emergency handling knowledge, and places them after the "Subject 3" actual road driving test to further assess the candidate's level of traffic awareness.

I was super nervous during my driving license test for Subject Four and failed the first time. Later, I learned that you can retake it unlimited times, as long as it's within the three-year validity period starting from passing Subject One. There's about a 10-day interval between each retake. It took me three attempts at the test center to pass, which gave me more time to review traffic safety knowledge, such as traffic light rules and nighttime driving precautions. A friend of mine passed after five tries and also got their license. Don’t worry about the number of failures—the key is mastering driving theory, with safety as the top priority. Each retake might cost a bit, but the overall expense isn’t high. The best approach is to quickly schedule practice with mock tests. Remember, the system encourages us to practice more to avoid the dangers of rushing onto the road.

Back when I was learning to drive, I also struggled and passed the fourth subject test on my second attempt. There's no limit on the number of attempts for Subject 4, you just need to complete it within the validity period, typically three years starting from Subject 1. If it expires, you'll have to retake the entire theoretical part, which is quite a waste of time. I'd advise beginners not to stress too much and not to lose heart if they fail. It helps to watch more videos on road signs and emergency handling. Safety and civilized driving knowledge are crucial, and going through multiple tests actually helps reinforce the learning. Looking back, that setback made me a more cautious driver. Make sure you're fully prepared before retaking the test, and don't delay too long to avoid affecting your progress.

Log in to the local traffic police website, click on the violation information query, enter the license plate number and engine identification code (also known as the VIN), some websites may require the engine number, and then enter the website verification code.

Is It Normal for the Engine Warning Light to Come On in Winter?

It is normal for the engine warning light to come on in winter. Here is a detailed explanation: 1. This situation may occur because the temperature is relatively low in winter. At this time, the internal temperature of the engine is also low, so when the car starts, the engine needs to reach a certain temperature to complete basic monitoring. 2. This fault will be detected, and the engine warning light will come on. When the engine temperature reaches a certain level, the fault will disappear, and naturally, the warning light will turn off. 3. If the warning light comes on in winter, don’t panic. Wait for the engine temperature to rise and see if the warning light turns off. If it does after the temperature rises, there is no problem, and you can drive normally. 4. If the warning light remains on when starting, it is likely due to excessive carbon deposits in the cylinders. Since carbon absorbs oil, the temperature in the cylinders may not reach a stable level. In this case, you still need to wait for the engine temperature to rise to ensure the issue is resolved.

How to Adjust the Driver's Seat Properly?

Methods for adjusting the driver's seat: 1. Seat height adjustment: (1) Car seat adjustments are divided into manual and electric adjustments. Depending on the vehicle configuration, some models may have different seat adjustment functions. (2) After entering the car, the first step is to adjust the seat height. For most sedans and SUVs, there should be a distance of 1-2 fists between the top of your head and the roof (this may vary slightly for different models). Ensure that the height of your eye level is slightly above the center of the vertical distance of the front windshield. 2. Seat forward and backward adjustment: When adjusting, always remember the principle: your feet should be able to fully depress the clutch and brake pedals; when holding the steering wheel, your arms should be slightly bent. 3. Backrest angle adjustment: The backrest angle should also be adjusted properly. It should not be too reclined or too upright, as this reduces the distance between your body and the steering wheel, which may increase the risk of injury from the airbag in an emergency.

Can You Add Engine Oil Right After Turning Off the Car?

You can add engine oil right after turning off the car. The method for adding engine oil is as follows: 1. Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe it clean, and measure again to see how much oil is missing; 2. Open the oil cap to add oil, then close the cap and start the car for a few minutes. After the oil has circulated in the engine for a while, check the oil dipstick again. If the level has dropped, continue adding more. The main functions of engine oil are: 1. Lubrication; 2. Assisting in cooling; 3. Cleaning; 4. Sealing and preventing leaks; 5. Rust and corrosion prevention; 6. Shock absorption; 7. Anti-wear. The method for changing engine oil is: 1. Lift the car, remove the undercover, and place a container of about 10 liters under the oil drain plug; 2. Unscrew the oil drain plug, use an air gun to blow into the oil filler port for two minutes, then tighten the drain plug after draining and wipe it with a tissue to check for leaks; 3. Reinstall the undercover and lower the car, then use a funnel to add oil through the filler port.
