Why Can't Beginners Press the Clutch at a Constant Speed?

Many novice drivers encounter this issue. For those who have never driven before, poor clutch control naturally leads to difficulty in controlling the vehicle speed. Lifting the clutch is not a constant-speed process throughout; it can be divided into three stages, corresponding to the clutch principle of "one fast, two slow, three linkage." Additional Information: One Fast: Keep the left heel stationary as a pivot point, then quickly lift the clutch pedal with the ball of the foot. Two Slow: When approaching the semi-engaged state, slow down or stop the lifting speed of the left foot. This stage is often confusing for many learners. The "semi-engaged" state doesn't require deep analysis; just observe the changes in the vehicle, such as the body starting to shake, the engine sound becoming lower, and the tachometer showing around 1000 RPM. Three Linkage: From the semi-engaged to fully engaged state, gently press the accelerator pedal with the right foot to prevent the engine from stalling, while slowly and completely releasing the clutch pedal with the left foot.

How many points will be deducted for a novice driving alone on the highway?

Novice drivers will not be deducted points for driving on the highway, but they will be fined. If a driver operates a motor vehicle on the highway during the probationary period, they must be accompanied by a driver who has held a driver's license for the same or a higher vehicle category for more than three years. The accompanying driver should sit in the front passenger seat to guide the probationary driver. Additional Information: Reason: Since novice drivers have just obtained their driver's licenses and have not yet mastered certain driving skills, they may not be able to react promptly in emergencies, which increases driving risks. Novice drivers need to acquire certain skills and emergency handling methods while driving and must avoid driving on the highway alone without supervision. Precautions: When turning, remember to check the rearview mirror in advance to see if vehicles behind intend to overtake. Also, remember to change lanes early when turning to avoid finding yourself not in the turning lane when it's time to turn.

Where is the car horn generally located?

The car horn is usually located inside the front wheel bumper, but some models have the horn installed in the grille. If you want to locate the horn, you need to first identify the approximate position and then remove the corresponding parts. The button to honk the horn is located in the center of the steering wheel. Definition of the horn: The horn is the audio signal device of the car. During driving, the driver can emit necessary audio signals as needed and according to regulations to warn pedestrians and alert other vehicles, ensuring traffic safety. It is also used to urge movement and convey signals. Correct usage of the horn: At intersections without signals or supervision, it is recommended to use the horn for warning, up to three honks; on mountain roads, curves, and blind spots (intersections without auxiliary mirrors), it is recommended to use the horn for warning, up to three honks; when overtaking on highways, use the horn in conjunction with lights to alert vehicles in adjacent lanes; when alerting vehicles with issues on the road, it is recommended to first use lights for warning, and if ineffective, then use the horn, preferably informing the other vehicle while stationary.

Will points be deducted if the car body is not straight after reversing into the garage in Subject 2?

Reversing into the garage with an unaligned car body will not result in point deductions; only crossing the line will lead to deductions. Relevant details about reversing into the garage are as follows: Evaluation criteria for reversing into the garage: Failure to follow the designated route or sequence will result in disqualification; the car body crossing the line will result in disqualification; failure to fully enter the garage will result in disqualification; stopping midway will result in disqualification. Key points for reversing into the garage: Engage the reverse gear, keep the steering wheel turned to the leftmost position, and reverse the car. The driver should observe the left rearview mirror and adjust the direction to guide the rear of the car into the garage. After the car enters the garage, the driver should observe the right rearview mirror. When the entire right line of the garage becomes visible, immediately straighten the steering wheel. The driver should then shift focus to the left rearview mirror and stop the car immediately when the left door handle aligns horizontally with the bottom line of the garage.
