Regulations require attending the subject one study session within 15 days, followed by the test. Below is relevant information about driver's licenses: 1. Introduction: The full name is motor vehicle driver's license, a certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers to operate vehicles. Driving requires certain skills, and those lacking such skills may cause accidents if driving arbitrarily. Generally, people cannot drive without a license. For those who have acquired safe driving skills, this permitting document is called a "driver's license", indicating it serves as an "authorization certificate". 2. Examination Content: Test subjects include traffic regulations & related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe civilized driving). Each subject requires prior appointment (special cases may use the fast-track appointment channel) before taking the test.

I've been driving for many years and have seen quite a few cases where licenses were revoked because the 12-point deduction limit was reached and not handled in time. According to regulations, within 15 days after the driver's license points are fully deducted, you must report to the local traffic management department and register for a study and test. Although it may seem troublesome, if you don't go on time, your license will be directly suspended or even revoked, and it will be much harder to retake the test later. I recommend first going to the traffic police station to ask about the specific process. The study usually involves attending traffic safety classes for a few days, and the test mainly covers traffic regulations and the theoretical part of driving skills. Passing it will restore your points. Remember, the longer you delay, the more severe the consequences can be, potentially affecting your daily commute. So don't take it lightly—resolve it early to ensure safe driving.

What are the symptoms of a transmission solenoid valve failure?

Failure to move in reverse gear, dashboard warning light illumination, solenoid valve fault indication, occasional failure to move in forward gear, jerky shifting in forward gear, excessively high transmission fluid temperature, and display of transmission overheating on the vehicle computer during driving are all symptoms of a transmission solenoid valve failure. There are four common types of automotive automatic transmissions: hydraulic automatic transmission, mechanical continuously variable automatic transmission, electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmission, and dual-clutch automatic transmission. The characteristic of a mechanical continuously variable automatic transmission is that the gear ratio is not a discrete point but a series of continuous values, which better coordinates the vehicle's external driving conditions with the engine load, fully utilizing the engine's potential and improving the vehicle's fuel economy. The role of the transmission solenoid valve: The solenoid valve is controlled by the transmission control module (TCU). The pressure in neutral and in gear is basically a constant value, but the opening of the solenoid valve is adjusted during gear shifting to improve shift smoothness. Different solenoid valves control different clutches or brakes, functioning in different gears. The solenoid valves mainly refer to two pressure-regulating solenoid valves: one regulates the main oil pressure, and the other regulates the lock-up oil pressure of the torque converter. These two oil pressures also control the operation of the shift valve body in the oil circuit plate. If either one malfunctions, it can cause shift shock, and over time, it can wear out the clutch plates and brake bands inside the transmission, leading to more severe faults.

What are the braking techniques at bus stops in Subject 3?

The braking techniques at bus stops in Subject 3 are as follows: 1. Look, slow down, then pass: When approaching a bus stop during the test, students must have safety awareness and adhere to the principle of 'look, slow down, then pass.' Requirement: About 30 meters before the bus stop, lightly apply the brake to reduce speed below 30km/h before passing. 2. Observe the station sign: Listen to the test audio prompt for passing the bus stop; if there is no voice prompt, pay attention to whether there is a bus stop sign on the right side. About 30 meters before the bus stop, lightly apply the brake to reduce speed below 30km/h. 3. Watch for pedestrians, yield to them, and then proceed slowly.

What Do Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price and On-the-Road Price Mean When Buying a Car?

Introduction to the meanings of manufacturer's suggested retail price and on-the-road price when buying a car: 1. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price: Generally, cars are sold to consumers through 4S stores rather than directly by manufacturers. However, manufacturers provide a suggested price for the car, which is derived from a comprehensive analysis of factors such as the car's cost and positioning. This is known as the manufacturer's suggested retail price, announced by the manufacturer when the new car is launched. In most cases, this price remains unchanged. Although it is not the final selling price, the suggested retail price is an important indicator of the car's price range. 2. On-the-Road Price: The on-the-road price refers to the total cost of purchasing a car and completing all necessary legal procedures to drive it on the road (if it is a loan, the interest is calculated separately). The on-the-road price includes the purchase price of the car, plus expenses such as vehicle purchase tax, insurance, and license plate registration fees, also known as the drive-away price.

What is the maximum speed for second gear in Subject 3?

In Subject 3, the minimum speed for second gear should not be lower than 15 km/h, and the maximum speed should not exceed 30 km/h. For gears 1, 2, and 3, the engine speed should not drop below 800 RPM, otherwise the engine may stall, and it should not exceed 1800 RPM. Below are the precautions for the Subject 3 road test: 1. If a candidate fails the fingerprint verification, they must exit the vehicle to re-collect their fingerprint before rejoining the test queue. 2. If a candidate's score falls below the passing threshold during the test, the system will automatically prompt them to pull over. Once the pull-over maneuver is completed, the system will indicate the next test phase. 3. After completing all required test items and driving a distance of more than 3 kilometers, the system will automatically prompt the candidate to pull over. Upon hearing the pull-over instruction, the candidate should choose a clear curb (or solid road edge line) along the test route and complete the maneuver safely. The system will then announce the test results. 4. When walking around the vehicle to inspect its appearance and surroundings, maintain a distance of within 1 meter from the vehicle body to ensure accurate radar signal detection.
