If the wheel bearing is damaged, the wheel will emit a noisy abnormal sound during vehicle operation. Lift the vehicle and manually rock the wheel left and right to check for any bearing clearance.

Which Gear to Use for Lane Change in Subject 3 Driving Test?

For lane changes in Subject 3 of the driving test, shift to second gear. When the vehicle needs to change lanes, the driver should carefully observe the traffic conditions. Below is an extended explanation: Check rearview mirrors: Before changing lanes, pay attention to the size of the following vehicle in the rearview mirror to estimate the distance. For example, if the following vehicle is a sedan and appears about the size of a matchbox in the rearview mirror, it is typically 80-100 meters away or even farther. If it occupies more than half of the rearview mirror, the distance is much closer (40-50 meters), and the driver should be cautious. Observe traffic signs: When changing lanes at intersections, check road signs and markings in advance. Choose the appropriate lane based on the intended direction and enter the designated lane according to the guiding arrows before reaching the solid line area.

Should You Shift to Neutral When Waiting in Subject 2 Parking?

When waiting during Subject 2 parking, you can shift to neutral. The standard procedure requires engaging the handbrake and shifting to neutral before restarting the engine after shutting it off. However, during the exam, to quickly restart the engine, you may directly press the brake and clutch to ignite (if the system doesn't penalize this), depending on the test site's evaluation rules. Extended explanation: Notes: For Subject 2, one free retake is allowed if you fail the first attempt. Failing the retake ends the test session. In non-parking test items, pausing midway deducts 5 points (vehicle stationary for over 2 seconds counts as midway parking).

During the Subject 3 exam, when stopping at a red light, you can directly press the clutch and brake, then shift into first gear without pulling the handbrake. The following is an extended introduction: The content of the Subject 3 road driving skills test includes: preparation for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, and small automatic transmission cars for the disabled, simulated nighttime lighting test, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, and nighttime driving; the test content for other permitted vehicle types is determined by the provincial public security traffic management department. Test mileage: large buses and medium-sized buses must cover at least 20 kilometers, including at least 10 kilometers during the day and 5 kilometers at night. Tractors, city buses, and large trucks must cover at least 10 kilometers, including at least 5 kilometers during the day and 3 kilometers at night.

Can I familiarize myself with the test site before the Subject 2 driving test?

Many test sites now allow candidates to familiarize themselves with the venue before the Subject 2 driving test, usually before the test begins or after it concludes. It is highly recommended that candidates who have the opportunity should get acquainted with the test site in advance. Familiarizing yourself with the site not only helps alleviate nervousness about the unfamiliar environment but also aids in adapting to the test site's variations beforehand. Below is an extended introduction: Things to Note: Memorize the Test Routes: Typically, there are about 3 test routes, and the reference points on each route may vary. Therefore, it is essential to memorize these routes during the practice session the day before the test. Get Familiar with the Test Vehicle: During regular practice sessions, candidates usually use training vehicles, which may differ from the actual test vehicles. The pre-test practice at the test site provides an excellent opportunity to become familiar with the test vehicle.

Is there a time limit for the S-curve in Subject 2?

There is no time limit for the S-curve in Subject 2. As long as you maintain a normal speed during the curve driving and avoid stopping midway, there's no need to worry about the time. The key is to master the driving techniques. Here is an extended introduction: Precautions: In curve driving, the size of the wheel difference is related to the steering angle of the car and the length of the wheelbase. The larger the steering angle or the longer the wheelbase, the greater the difference between the inner and outer wheels. For small cars, the inner wheel difference is about 0.8-0.9 meters, and the outer wheel difference is about 0.7 meters. The size of the inner wheel difference depends on the steering angle and the length of the wheelbase. The larger the steering angle, the greater the inner wheel difference, and vice versa; the longer the wheelbase, the greater the inner wheel difference, and vice versa.
