Methods to identify a new car: 1. Check the manufacturing date: If you encounter a model with a long service life but exceptionally low mileage, there might be an issue with this car. 2. Examine tire wear: New tires have computer-like lines on the tread surface and hair-like protrusions on the sidewalls, which usually wear off after 50-100 kilometers. 2. Inspect brake pad wear: New cars or those driven very short distances show minimal wear; significant wear indicates more usage, even if the odometer shows low mileage. 3. Look at the interior: Seats that have been sat on for extended periods lose elasticity and appear shiny and hard; if the pedals, floor mats, and steering wheel look brand new, these parts may have been replaced. 4. Check the engine bay: Areas that accumulate dirt and are hard to clean in cars that have been driven for some time.

Can You Take Subject Four Directly After Passing Subject One?

The passing score for Subject One of the driver's license test is 90 points, with a total of 100 questions. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the test consists of single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the paper and end the exam. Subject One, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject One test content: regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on road traffic accident handling; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject One test precautions: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the test—no sandals are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the examination room. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the test, ensuring the camera is aligned with you and adhering to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it; unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule Subject One. Each subject test allows one retake if failed. If you do not attend the retake or fail it again, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject Two and Subject Three have only five exam attempts each, and rescheduling must be done at least ten days later. If you fail the Subject Three safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. The driver's license test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test. Subject Three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge tests. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject Four."
