First, park the vehicle close to the curb or flower bed, maintaining a distance of about 30cm from the edge line. Parking too far away will make reversing impossible. Be careful not to drive past the yellow line at the front - you must stop when reaching it. If your wheels cross the yellow line, you'll fail the test. Engage reverse gear and observe the right side mirror. When the first line of the parallel parking space is about to disappear from the mirror's edge, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Then look at the left side mirror - immediately straighten the steering wheel when you see the innermost corner appear. Wait until the vehicle enters the parking space frame completely. Once the car body is properly aligned, firmly press both the clutch and brake.

When I first started learning to drive, parallel parking seemed quite challenging, but it became easier once I got the hang of it. First, find a parking space between two cars, drive slowly to get close, and stop parallel to the front car, leaving about one meter of space. Then, shift into reverse, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, and slowly back up. At this point, check the position of the rear car through the right-side mirror. When you see the entire front or license plate of the rear car, immediately turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and continue backing in. Finally, make slight adjustments to ensure the wheels don’t scrape the curb and that you don’t hit the cars in front or behind. For manual transmission drivers, be careful with clutch control to avoid stalling, and for automatic drivers, avoid pressing the pedal too abruptly. I recommend practicing more—try a few times in an empty parking lot, and you’ll get the hang of it. Don’t stress too much.

I've been driving for over a decade, and parallel parking is quite easy for me. The basic steps are as follows: after spotting a suitable parking space, pull up parallel to the car in front, leaving about half a meter of space. Then shift into reverse gear, turn the steering wheel fully to the right, and slowly back up. Once the body of the car behind appears in the right rearview mirror, immediately turn the steering wheel fully to the left and glide in. Maintain low speed throughout the process; using a manual transmission allows better control of engine speed to avoid scrapes. The key is to adjust the rearview mirrors properly to eliminate blind spots, and using parking sensors or a rearview camera makes it even easier. Common mistakes include parking too far to one side or having the wheels touch the curb—always leave at least twenty centimeters of space. With practice, you can nail it in one go.

I prioritize safety when parking. For parallel parking, first check the size of the parking space and observe surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. Slowly approach with turn signals on to alert following cars, shift to reverse gear and turn the steering wheel fully to the right, then gently press the accelerator to reverse. Continuously monitor all mirrors and the side view - when you can see part of the rear vehicle's body, turn the steering wheel left to continue reversing. Don't rush, maintain slow speed, and leave at least half a meter clearance front and back. For automatic transmission vehicles, use gentle braking to control speed. After parking, get out to check if the car is centered in the space. With regular practice to develop this habit, you'll master it in no time.

Is it necessary to change coolant at a 4S shop?

Coolant does not have to be changed at a 4S shop; it can be replaced by yourself or at a repair shop. The method of adding coolant and usage precautions are introduced as follows: Method of adding coolant: Park the car on a level and solid ground, wait for the engine to fully cool, open the engine hood, and locate the purple oval-shaped water tank on the left side. When the engine is cold, check the coolant level through the side markings of the expansion tank. When filling the coolant, use a suitable cloth to wrap the expansion tank cap to prevent burns from hot coolant or steam. Precautions for using coolant: Do not open the water tank cap or drain valve immediately after driving, as the temperature of the coolant or water is very high at this time to avoid burns. The effective usage period of coolant is generally two years. It should be replaced when expired or if the coolant is found to be dirty. When replacing, be sure to completely remove the old coolant and thoroughly clean the water tank.

Is it acceptable for a novice to drive at 80 km/h in the rightmost lane on the highway?

Novice drivers can drive at 80 km/h in the rightmost lane on the highway. Here are some precautions for novice drivers: Pay attention to speed: If not on the highway, novice drivers should maintain a stable speed of around 60 km/h for better control. Frequently check the rearview mirrors: Rearview mirrors help observe the road conditions behind and to the sides of the vehicle, especially when changing lanes, reversing, or overtaking, making them crucial. Maintain a safe distance: Novice drivers tend to follow too closely. If the car ahead brakes or cuts in, their immediate reaction is often to brake suddenly, which can sometimes lead to oversteering and accidents. Therefore, keeping a safe distance is essential, and slowing down appropriately when someone cuts in is advisable. Use lights correctly: Avoid turning on hazard lights unnecessarily. Turn on the side marker lights at dusk, and use fog lights only in poor visibility conditions like heavy fog.

What are the key points for the right-angle turn in Subject 2?

Right-angle turn is an assessment point in Subject 2 of the driver's license test, requiring candidates to correctly operate steering, accurately judge the inner and outer wheel difference, and smoothly pass the right-angle turn. It mainly examines the candidate's vehicle control ability. Below are the precautions for the right-angle turn in Subject 2: Before entering the turn: Be sure to slow down the speed, the key is to align the vehicle body. When the vehicle body is aligned: Drive the vehicle slowly close to the outer edge line of the road and control the lateral distance. It is advisable to keep the outer wheels within about 300mm from the outer edge line and maintain parallel movement. When the front of the vehicle approaches the turning point: Turn the steering wheel sharply without delay. When the front bumper aligns with the protruding point, quickly turn the steering wheel to the left (right) to the limit position. Avoid stepping hard on the throttle pedal. Rear wheels in the rearview mirror: Remember to turn the steering wheel back. When the front of the vehicle approaches the right-angle turn point, promptly turn the steering wheel back; when the front of the vehicle turns to the new direction, gradually straighten it to make the vehicle move forward straight. At the same time, you can also observe the movement position of the rear wheels through the rearview mirror, that is, when the rear wheels are about to pass the turning point, straighten the steering wheel.

What does it mean to limit the use of unleaded gasoline above No. 92?

The meaning of limiting the use of unleaded gasoline No. 92 and above refers to using gasoline with a grade not lower than No. 92. The selection of gasoline grades and precautions for refueling are as follows: Selection of gasoline grades: The common gasoline grades in China mainly include No. 92, No. 95, etc. The gasoline grade indicates the octane number in the gasoline. Gasoline with a higher octane number has better anti-knock performance. The grade of diesel is different from that of gasoline. The grade of diesel represents the freezing point. Precautions for refueling: Try not to wait until the fuel light comes on before refueling. Because the fuel pump is located in the fuel tank, the temperature of the fuel pump is relatively high during continuous operation, and immersion in fuel can effectively cool it down. When the fuel light comes on, it means that the fuel level is already lower than the fuel pump. If you wait until the light comes on every time before refueling, it will shorten the service life of the fuel pump. Too little fuel or running out of fuel may also burn out the fuel pump. If you drive more than 30,000 kilometers, you need to be more careful. When there is too little fuel, once the fuel pump sucks up the sediment at the bottom of the fuel tank, it is easy to block the fuel pump or cut off the fuel circuit.
