After passing Subject 3, the timing for the Subject 4 test falls into three scenarios: taking it directly the same afternoon; within 9 days without an appointment, where you can take the Subject 4 test by presenting your ID at the test center within 9 days of passing Subject 3; or scheduling after 10 days, with the success of the appointment depending on the current number of test-takers, student priority, and temporary arrangements at the test center. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theoretical test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. It includes requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, knowledge of safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident processing knowledge. Subject 4 Test Notes: Test Duration: The test lasts 45 minutes, and making 12 mistakes (6 questions) will terminate the test session. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of driver's license, 50 questions are proportionally selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank. For car licenses, questions are drawn from a pool of 800, while for large vehicle licenses, they are drawn from 1023 questions, with each question worth 2 points. Question Types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions. The first 45 questions are single-choice, and the last 5 are multiple-choice. The test also includes animated questions, picture-based questions, scenario recognition questions, and text-based questions. Retake Notes: Failing Subject 4 only requires retaking Subject 4, which can be scheduled by the driving school without any limit on the number of retakes. There are no fees for retaking Subject 4. Subject 4 Test Tips: Strengthen weak areas by identifying the reasons for mistakes. For marked questions, avoid merely memorizing the correct answers. Instead, consult regulations, textbooks, or reference materials to understand and internalize the reasons for errors. Categorize and summarize questions by referring to the question bank analysis to identify similar questions. Many questions in the bank are similar and easily confused, so it's helpful to group them for analysis. For example, traffic signs for walking, hiking, pedestrian attention, crosswalks, and crosswalk attention have similar patterns and can be confusing. Learning them in categories reduces errors. Use memory techniques: Many questions in the bank involve numbers, which can be summarized for easier memorization. The driving test consists of 3 subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 divided into two parts. Subject 4 is the colloquial term for the Subject 3 Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test and is not a separate subject. Subject 1 refers to the examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; and Subject 3 refers to the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3.

Can a car over 15 years old still be transferred?

In January 2013, the Ministry of Commerce of China updated the "Regulations on the Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," abolishing the unified 15-year scrapping rule and replacing it with a 600,000-kilometer scrapping standard. As a result, some older vehicles in good condition with low mileage can continue to be driven, and some cars over 15 years old can still be transferred. The latest "Regulations on the Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles" stipulate the following regarding motor vehicle scrapping: Article 4: Registered motor vehicles that fall under any of the following circumstances shall be mandatorily scrapped. The owner shall sell the motor vehicle to a recycling and dismantling enterprise for scrapped motor vehicles, which will handle registration, dismantling, destruction, etc., in accordance with regulations, and submit the motor vehicle registration certificate, license plate, and driving license to the traffic management department of the public security authority for cancellation: Having reached the service life specified in Article 5 of these regulations; Failing to meet the national safety technical standards for in-use motor vehicles after repair and adjustment; Still failing to meet the national standards for pollutant or noise emissions from in-use motor vehicles after repair, adjustment, or the adoption of control technologies; Failing to obtain the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period.

Should the car air conditioning AC be turned off every time?

The car air conditioning AC should be turned off every time, as this can reduce the vehicle's fuel consumption. Below is some extended information about gasoline: 1. Development Background: In the mid-19th century, people did not yet recognize the importance of gasoline, and kerosene for lighting was widely used at the time. Petroleum refining then relied on simple distillation processes to separate components with different boiling points from crude oil. Kerosene, with its higher boiling point, was safer for lighting and became the primary product of crude oil refining, while gasoline and other components were often burned as fuel. 2. Carcinogens: On October 27, 2017, the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) preliminarily listed engine exhaust and gasoline as Group 2B carcinogens in its updated list of carcinogens.

Is the score valid if the signature for passing the subject two test is not confirmed?

If the signature for passing the subject two test is not confirmed, the score is still valid. Here are some precautions regarding subject two: 1. Practice straight-line driving more: Before officially reversing into the garage, practice straight-line driving more. When driving straight, keep the car body straight, and check it by getting off the car if necessary. 2. Find a good reference object: When the car body is straight, observe the surroundings to find a suitable reference object for yourself, and fix the state of the straight car body in your mind. Pay attention to keeping a broad field of vision and try to use distant reference objects as references. 3. Learn to look at the rearview mirror and correct the direction through the steering wheel: When entering the pile, observe whether the distance between the car body and the two sides of the garage is roughly equal through the rearview mirror, and observe whether the car body is parallel to the garage sideline in the rearview mirror.

What Causes Car Paint Peeling?

Car paint peeling is most likely caused by exposure to corrosive substances or poor-quality paint. Below is a brief introduction about automobiles: Basic Information: The year 1885 marked a decisive breakthrough in automobile invention. At that time, Benz, who worked in the same factory as Daimler, was also researching automobiles. In 1885, Benz almost simultaneously with Daimler developed a gasoline engine, installed it in a car, and successfully drove at a speed of 12 kilometers per hour. That same year, Butler from the UK also invented a car equipped with a gasoline engine. Additionally, Bernardi from Italy invented a car, and Puchlov and Volopov from Russia invented a car with an internal combustion engine. Development History: The world's first research on electric vehicles was conducted by Hungarian engineer Anyos-Jedlik in 1828, who completed an electric transmission device in a laboratory. The first practical electric vehicle was invented by American Anderson between 1832 and 1839.
