How to Determine the Position of Left and Right Wheels?

Can You Stick Your Head Out During the Subject Two Driving Test?

During the Subject Two driving test, you are not allowed to stick your head out of the window to observe the vehicle's position. This applies not only to the S-curve but throughout the entire test. If a candidate sticks their head out, it will be considered a failure. From a safety perspective, sticking your head out while driving is highly dangerous, so extra caution is needed during practice. The Subject Two test is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, officially known as the Field Driving Skills Test. For cars (C1, C2), the test items include five mandatory components: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving. For large vehicles (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2), the test items include: pole test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing through a limited-width gate, navigating continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, narrow-road U-turns, as well as simulations for highways, continuous sharp mountain curves, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. Key points to remember during the Subject Two test: Control your speed during reverse parking, manage the side distance and reference points properly during parallel parking, adjust the vehicle body slowly during curve driving, and time your steering wheel turns accurately during right-angle turns.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Braking During Turns?

Reasons for squeaking noise when braking during turns: poor quality brake pads, foreign objects lodged in the brake disc, severe wear of the brake disc, severe wear of the brake pads, rust on the brake disc, etc. Below is a detailed analysis: Poor quality brake pads: If the brake pads installed are not from a reputable manufacturer or are of inferior quality purchased by the owner, the overly hard material can produce a squeaking noise during braking and may also damage the brake disc. Therefore, it is advisable to replace them with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) brake pads at an authorized 4S shop. Foreign objects lodged in the brake disc: When driving on rough roads, wheels can easily fling stones or other foreign objects into the braking system. Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes can trap these objects between the brake pad and the brake disc, causing noise during braking. Severe wear of the brake disc: Sometimes, foreign objects can directly scratch the brake disc or other impacts can leave pits on its surface. When the brake pads rub against these uneven surfaces, they can produce a squeaking noise. Severe wear of the brake pads: After prolonged use, brake pads thin out due to constant friction. Overly thin brake pads not only reduce braking efficiency but also harden, leading to noise during braking. Rust on the brake disc: Years of exposure to the elements can cause the brake disc to rust. However, this is not a major concern, as applying the brakes several times will wear off the rust layer.

Does stopping past the crosswalk at a red light count as running a red light?

If the vehicle stops at the crosswalk without proceeding further, it does not count as running a red light but rather as overstepping the line. According to Article 80 of the 'Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations': If a motor vehicle driver violates the traffic signal by overstepping the line while waiting, a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan will be imposed, and 2 points will be deducted. The act of running a red light is clearly defined in the 'Road Traffic Safety Law'. Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to proceed, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal that prohibits passage. If a vehicle proceeds through an intersection during a red light, it constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. Running a red light refers to the behavior where, when the vehicle is within the stop line, the traffic signal ahead is already red, but the vehicle continues to move forward until both the front and rear wheels have crossed the stop line. This is determined by capturing three photos via electronic cameras: A photo of the vehicle crossing the intersection stop line, showing the red light and the license plate number. A photo of the vehicle completely crossing the stop line, showing the red light and the license plate number. A photo of the vehicle continuing to move, comparing to check if the vehicle's position has changed, showing the red light and the license plate number. Capturing these three photos confirms that the vehicle has run a red light. Running a red light is not considered illegal under the following circumstances: Extreme weather: When visibility is so low that even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights. Photos of the violation may be blurred, and if the red light is mistakenly run, traffic police will not impose penalties. Emergency situations: If a citizen transports a patient with a critical condition, they can present proof provided by the hospital or the person assisted to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation record can be expunged. If possible, it is best to call an ambulance to avoid running a red light and causing a traffic accident. Police direction: During peak commuting hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at major intersections. Drivers should follow the gestures of the traffic police. Yielding to special vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, and other special vehicles. If a violation is captured by surveillance cameras while yielding to special vehicles, manual review will not record the act of running a red light. Even if recorded, one can apply for reconsideration with the traffic police department.
