After failing Subject 4, you should apply for a retake within the validity period of your admission ticket and pass the review. Here are the detailed steps for retaking Subject 4: 1. Overview: The retake of Subject 4 depends on the specific appointment time. If you fail Subject 4, you do not need to retake the previously passed subjects, meaning you do not have to retake Subject 1, Subject 2, or Subject 3. Additionally, you can schedule and take the retake on your own, and no retake fee is required. 2. Validity Period: There are no restrictions on scheduling the safety and civilized driving theory test, but you should apply for a retake promptly within the validity period of your admission ticket if you fail Subject 4. The validity period of the driving skill test admission certificate is three years. If the applicant does not complete the test within the validity period, the results of the passed subjects will be invalidated.

I failed the subject four test, but I'm not panicking at all because I've had to retake it before. Generally, if you fail a subject, you have to wait about ten days before you can sign up for a retake. Don't rush to apply on the same day—the driving school will notify you of the date. Last time, I just downloaded a driving test app like 'Driving Test Treasure' and practiced mock questions every day, especially those tricky ones like traffic signal rules and yielding scenarios. After patiently waiting for ten days, bring your ID to the test center, pay a retake fee of around 60 to 100 yuan, and take the test again. During the exam, stay calm—don’t rush to answer immediately out of nervousness. Just read the questions carefully. The pass rate for retakes is quite high; if you prepare well, you’ll likely pass. The key is not to repeat the same mistakes. Watching more traffic rule videos in your free time can also help reinforce your memory.

When I failed the Subject 4 test initially, I felt really embarrassed, but actually the retake process is quite simple. First, calm down—according to regulations, you can only apply for a retake after 10 days, so wait for the driving school's notification or check the official website. I immediately went online to review, using mobile apps to practice questions, focusing especially on safety knowledge in multiple-choice questions. When the waiting period was over, I went in person to fill out forms and pay the fee, which was just a few dozen yuan. Don’t waste the time in between—discuss tricky questions with friends, like details about drunk driving. During the test, take your time and read each question carefully before answering. Before I knew it, I passed the retake. Looking back now, it was just a learning experience that deepened my understanding of safety. Practice a few more times, and you’ll definitely succeed next time.

Retaking Subject 4 is not complicated, just remember the steps. If you fail, you have to wait 10 days before applying for a retake, so don't rush ahead of time. During this period, I focused on practicing the question bank, and the mock exam APP was a great help. I reviewed frequently missed questions like pedestrian priority rules more often. When the time comes, just go to the test center to complete the procedures and pay the fee. Keep a calm mindset, and treat mistakes as learning opportunities. Passing on the first try is not difficult.

Is the License Plate Fee Mandatory to Pay at the 4S Store?

It is not mandatory. Below is the relevant information: Regulations: According to Article 9 of the "Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Law of the People's Republic of China," consumers have the right to independently choose goods or services. Consumers have the right to independently select the operators providing goods or services, choose the types of goods or methods of services, and decide whether to purchase any product or accept any service. When making independent choices, consumers have the right to compare, evaluate, and select. Considerations: Shop around—only by spending more time and effort to compare can you avoid being taken advantage of. If the license plate fee seems too high, try purchasing from another 4S store. If all stores charge a license plate fee, try to negotiate the fee down to the minimum possible. This is the only way to ensure you don’t overspend unnecessarily.

Why Does the Car Shake More When It Gets Hotter?

It may be caused by carbon deposits in the engine or throttle body. Below is a related introduction to the reasons for car shaking: 1. Ignition system issues: Check the working condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or faulty spark plug firing can also lead to this type of problem. The solution is to check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon buildup and replace them if necessary. 2. Unstable oil pressure: If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the oil gasket and spark plugs, but still notice the car shaking at idle, check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor can cause the car to shake. The solution is to check the oil pressure and replace the components if necessary.

Does Parking and Listening to Music Drain the Battery?

Parking and listening to music does drain the battery. Here are some related points about parking and listening to music: 1. Idling while listening to music: Although idling while listening to music does not use the battery's power, prolonged idling can easily lead to carbon buildup in the engine. Statistics show that idling while listening to music consumes an additional 2-3L of fuel per hour on average, costing around ten dollars per hour. 2. Precautions when turning off the car: Turn off the air conditioning, and check if the cigarette lighter is off when shutting down the engine. The cigarette lighter is not only used for lighting cigarettes but also powers devices like GPS, dash cams, and air purifiers. If these devices remain powered when the engine is off, it can cause "battery drain." It is advisable to avoid listening to music or using any electrical devices when the engine is off.
