I remember being particularly nervous about the third subject when I was getting my driver's license, as it tested actual road driving skills. In our area, there's no strict upper limit on the number of attempts for the third subject—you can keep retaking it until you pass. However, each failure requires an additional retake fee, usually around a few hundred yuan, and you must wait at least a week before scheduling another attempt. If you fail too many times in a row, say more than five, the driving school might suggest you revisit the second subject or take some extra lessons, mainly for safety reasons to avoid blind retesting. I think the key is to practice simulated driving more, familiarize yourself with the test points like parallel parking and lane-changing details, and not just focus on the number of attempts—improving driving skills is the core. After all, the test is for road safety. Passing on the first try is ideal, but if you encounter difficulties, it's okay to be patient and try a few more times. Everyone goes through this process.

I've heard many stories about Subject 3 (road test), but actual exam attempt limits are quite rare. Usually, the first attempt is included in the registration fee, with retakes charged only after failing. Many places allow unlimited retakes as long as fees are paid and booking rules are followed. However, repeated retakes may increase psychological pressure and financial burden. It's recommended that candidates practice more with instructors beforehand, mastering speed control and road observation skills. Some driving schools now offer pre-exam simulation services that help rehearse common mistakes like traffic light handling, which is genuinely helpful. Ultimately, don't worry about the number of attempts—focus on improving driving skills. If needed, take a break and try again later. Keeping a calm mindset makes passing easier.

Why can't the 3rd gear of the Baojun 560 manual transmission suddenly engage?

Manual transmission can't engage gears for the following reasons: Incorrect gear position: When starting an automatic transmission car, the gear must be placed in P or N position. If placed in R or D position, the car will not start. Some manual transmission cars will also not start if the clutch is not depressed. No antifreeze added: Some car owners add water or inferior antifreeze to their cars, resulting in the entire water circuit freezing in extremely cold winter conditions, causing the engine to crack, the car water pump to fail to operate, the car not to start, and damage to other engine components. Gear lever assembly failure: The internal gears of the gear lever are worn, causing the gear lever to get stuck, making it very difficult to pull back and forth, resulting in the inability to shift gears and difficulty in shifting.
