There are 4 key reference points for parallel parking in Subject 2 of the driving test, mainly determined by observing the rearview mirrors and the alignment of the wiper points with the road edge line. 1. The first point is to position the car at the starting line after entering the test area, ensuring the right quarter of the hood covers the road edge line, meaning the raised rivet on the wiper should align with the road edge line while driving. 2. When your shoulder aligns with the stop line, press the clutch and brake, shift into reverse gear, and start reversing. Watch the rearview mirror, and when the door handle is perpendicular to the parking space edge line, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right. 3. Observe the left rearview mirror, and when the right rear corner of the parking space appears in the mirror, quickly straighten the steering wheel and continue reversing. 4. While reversing, watch the left rear wheel. When it is about to touch the edge line (dashed line) of the parking space entrance, turn the steering wheel fully to the left and continue reversing. 5. Observe the left rearview mirror, and once the car body is parallel to the parking space edge line, stop the car (the parking time must not exceed 30 seconds).

What Causes the Idle Speed to Increase When Depressing the Clutch to Shift Gears?

The reason for the idle speed increasing when depressing the clutch to shift gears is that the throttle is not fully released. When driving, the engine has rotational inertia (momentum) during operation. However, because there is a load (before the clutch is depressed), releasing the throttle will cause the speed to decrease. But during the process of speed reduction, suddenly depressing the clutch all the way results in significant rotational inertia, yet the load is suddenly removed, causing the speed to slightly increase instead. Solution: After fully releasing the throttle, wait a moment before depressing the clutch to shift gears. Essentially, it's a matter of coordinating the timing between the throttle and the clutch. Idle Speed Overview: Idle speed is an operational state of a car, referring to the engine running in neutral. The engine speed during idle is called the idle speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size, among other methods. Idle speed means the engine is "producing power without doing work."

Is driving at 60 mph fast?

Driving at 60 mph is not fast. The concept of 60 mph: In China, whether it's 60 kilometers, 60 mph, or 60 miles, they all refer to 60 kilometers. However, the term '60 mph' generally evolved from '60 miles'. Abroad, speedometers are calibrated in miles. But there is a difference between miles and kilometers. 'Mile' is a transliteration of the English word 'mile', meaning a unit of distance. 1 mile = 1605 meters = 1.605 kilometers. Therefore, the actual speed of 60 miles is 96.3 kilometers per hour. '60 mph' refers to 60 kilometers per hour, which converts to 16.67 meters per second. Normal human reaction speed: The reaction speed of a normal person to sudden events is generally around 80 mph.

Should You Steer with Your Left Hand or Right Hand While Driving?

When driving, the steering wheel should be operated with both hands. Using only one hand is an incorrect driving method. The necessity of steering with both hands: In emergency situations, steering with one hand can easily cause the wheel to slip, which is very dangerous. Additionally, gripping the steering wheel firmly with both hands is a prerequisite for maintaining the correct driving posture. When seated in the driver's seat, the hips serve as one pivot point, while the hands gripping the steering wheel act as the other two pivot points. This three-point support is the most stable and ensures driving safety. Correct steering operation: Hold the wheel in the "9 and 3 o'clock" position. Do not release the wheel during turns; instead, move your hands along with the wheel's rotation, including when straightening it. Only in this way can steering and straightening actions be performed most accurately and quickly.

How many days does it usually take to learn reversing into the garage in Subject 2?

Generally, learning to reverse into the garage takes about 4 class hours per day, and it usually takes about a week to master, depending on individual circumstances. Criteria for reversing into the garage: Failing to follow the prescribed route or sequence results in disqualification; the vehicle going out of bounds, failing to enter the garage, or stopping midway results in disqualification; taking more than 4 minutes to complete the reversing into the garage results in disqualification. Standard garage dimensions: The standard dimensions for reversing into the garage in Subject 2 are a garage length of 5.25 meters and a width of 2.3 meters. No stopping during the test: There is no time limit for reversing into the garage, but it's important to note that stopping midway is not allowed. If the wheels remain stationary for 3 seconds, the system will judge it as stopping midway, so controlling the speed is crucial.

Why is Vehicle Modification Illegal?

Vehicle modification is not illegal; what is illegal is 'unauthorized vehicle modification'. Definition of Vehicle Modification: It refers to replacing, adding, or removing components of the original factory model or altering its appearance. Modifications within the legal limits are not against the law. Definition of Unauthorized Vehicle Modification: The new 'Road Traffic Safety Law' clearly stipulates that no unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of a motor vehicle without authorization. The structure of a vehicle includes four rigid standards: body color, length, width, height, and relevant technical parameters of the engine. Before modifying a licensed vehicle, one must register and declare the modification to the vehicle management office. The modification technical report must be reviewed and approved by the vehicle management office before the modification can proceed. After the modification is completed, one must also go to the vehicle management office to complete the modification change procedures and should proactively apply to the traffic management department for record filing.

What are the reasons for the engine warning light in the Tianlong KL465?

The reasons for the engine warning light in the Tianlong KL465 include sensor issues, poor fuel mixture combustion, and intake problems. Sensor issues: These include water temperature sensor, crankshaft position sensor, air flow sensor, intake temperature sensor, and oxygen sensor. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or experience signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will trigger the engine warning light. Poor fuel mixture combustion: Faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pumps, or clogged fuel lines can all lead to poor fuel mixture combustion in the engine. Poor combustion results in engine carbon buildup or knocking issues, which are eventually detected by the engine's oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, triggering the warning light as an alert. Intake problems: The engine requires air intake during combustion, making the air filter crucial. If the car's air filter is dirty and not cleaned regularly, it can affect the engine's air intake. Over time, this can lead to blockages and, in severe cases, cause the engine warning light to illuminate.
