What are the contents of the Subject 1 exam?

The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates the contents of the Subject 1 driving test: laws, regulations, and rules on road traffic safety; traffic signals and their meanings; knowledge of safe driving and civilized driving; safe driving knowledge under conditions such as highways, mountainous roads, bridges, tunnels, nighttime, adverse weather, and complex road conditions; emergency handling knowledge for situations like tire blowouts, steering failure, and brake failure; general structure of motor vehicles, common knowledge of main safety devices, and basic knowledge of daily inspection and maintenance; basic knowledge of self-rescue and first aid after traffic accidents, as well as common hazardous materials knowledge. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject 1 exam consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam content includes theoretical driving 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 1 exam precautions: During the exam, students should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam 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 exam room. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to exam discipline. If you fail the first time, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, 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 schedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the exam process ends, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subjects 2 and 3 have only five exam attempts. Subjects 2 and 3 must be scheduled at least ten days apart. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."

What is the reason why the rear door of the Mercedes-Benz GLA cannot be opened?

The reason why the right rear door of the Mercedes-Benz GLA cannot be opened may be due to the child lock being engaged. It is recommended to check the sliding switch on the side of the right rear door. In most cases, this is a normal phenomenon. Generally, the rear doors are equipped with child locks, which are designed to prevent children from dangerously pulling open the door from the inside without adult supervision. Additional information: 1. The car child safety lock, also known as the door lock child safety device, is installed on the rear door locks. When the rear door is opened, there is a small lever below the door lock. Slide it toward the end with the child icon, then close the door. At this point, the door cannot be opened from the inside and can only be opened from the outside. 2. Its function is to prevent active and unaware children from opening the door while the car is moving, thereby avoiding danger. In this case, the door can only be opened from the outside by an adult after the car has stopped.
