Subject 4 requires an appointment. The Subject 4 Safety and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test is the final stage of the driver's license examination. After passing Subject 3, you can schedule an appointment for Subject 4. It may take about a week for the driving school to arrange the Subject 4 appointment, or you can make an online appointment, which typically takes two to three days to be confirmed. Below is more information about the Subject 4 exam: 1. Exam Content: The main content includes safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-traffic accident handling knowledge. 2. Exam Duration: The exam lasts 45 minutes, and if you make 12 mistakes (6 questions) during the test, the exam will be terminated immediately.

How many points is each question in Subject 4?

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test in Subject 3 requires a score of 90 points to pass. Each incorrect answer deducts 2 points, and you can only miss 5 questions; exceeding this results in failure. The total score is 100 points. Questions 1-10 are true/false questions; questions 11-40 are single-choice questions; and questions 41-50 are multiple-choice questions. The test includes image analysis, animated case studies, and text descriptions. The scope of Subject 4 covers driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, recognition of common traffic signs, markings, and hand signals, knowledge of traffic accident rescue and handling of common hazardous chemicals, comprehensive judgment of illegal behaviors and case analysis, emergency avoidance knowledge, safe driving knowledge, and driving ethics and civilized driving knowledge. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subjects 1 and 4. If you fail the first attempt on the same day, you can retake it immediately. If you still fail, you need to reschedule the test, and no additional fees are required for retakes. However, it is important to note that the validity period of the driving skills test permit is three years. If the applicant does not complete the test within this period, the results of any passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: the road test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Subject 4 is the colloquial name for the safety and civilized driving knowledge test under Subject 3 and is not a separate subject. Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no Subject 4. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3. Subject 4 Test Notes: Test Duration: The test lasts 45 minutes. If you make more than 10 points worth of mistakes (6 questions) during the test, the session will be terminated. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of license being tested, 50 questions are randomly selected from the Subject 4 question bank, with each question worth 2 points. Question Types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions, with questions presented as animations, images, scenario recognition, or text descriptions. Retake Notes: If you fail Subject 4, you only need to retake Subject 4. The driving school will schedule the retake, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. No additional fees are required for Subject 4 retakes. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 divided into two parts. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; and Subject 3 refers to the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test.

Introduction to the PRNDL gear positions in automatic transmission vehicles. P (Park): Abbreviation for parking, the parking gear. After engaging the P gear, the vehicle's transmission is locked. R (Reverse): Abbreviation for reverse, the reverse gear. Used when reversing the vehicle; engaging the R gear allows the car to move backward. N (Neutral): Abbreviation for neutral, the neutral gear. D (Drive): Abbreviation for drive, the drive gear. The D gear is the most commonly used gear; engaging the D gear and pressing the accelerator allows the car to move forward. L (Low): Abbreviation for low, used when climbing steep slopes.

What causes all the snowflake and S lights to illuminate in an automatic transmission?

Low outdoor temperature or signal transmission errors can cause the snowflake light to illuminate; the S light may come on due to faults in the engine or transmission. Transmission fluid: If the quality of the transmission fluid is abnormal, it may damage the solenoid valve, causing both the snowflake and S lights to illuminate. Pressure valve and lock-up valve: If the two pressure valves and the clutch lock-up valve malfunction, or if the gear control valve fails, it can also result in both the snowflake and S lights illuminating. Outdoor temperature: The outdoor temperature warning: the snowflake light does not illuminate above 4°C, it illuminates yellow between 4°C and 0°C, and red below 0°C.

What does foot brake mean?

Foot brake refers to the parking foot brake, a type of parking brake that is operated by the foot. It is commonly found in automatic transmission vehicles. The parking brake type refers to the method of operating the parking brake. Currently, the operation methods of parking brakes in passenger cars can be divided into three types: handbrake, foot brake, and electronic parking brake. The structure of the foot brake is basically the same as that of a conventional mechanical handbrake, using steel wire cables. The only difference is that the control terminal is changed from a handbrake lever to a foot brake pedal, usually located on the left foot side. Generally, foot brakes are mostly used in mid-to-high-end models, mainly in medium-sized cars and above, and are commonly found in Japanese and Korean brands, predominantly in automatic transmission vehicles. Currently, there are very few Chinese brand models equipped with foot brakes. The foot brake is more convenient. The actual locking force of a conventional handbrake is generally around 200N, which is equivalent to lifting a 20-kilogram object. For many people, this is not a small weight, and often the parking braking force is insufficient due to too little effort, leading to vehicle rollaway. In contrast, the foot brake relies entirely on the left foot for control, and a light step can easily exceed 200N. Therefore, the foot brake is more reliable and safer than the handbrake.

How long does it take to schedule an automatic transmission Subject 3 exam?

Under normal circumstances, scheduling an automatic transmission Subject 3 exam requires a waiting period of at least about 5 days. The specific time depends on the number of people in the queue. Once the exam is successfully scheduled, the student will receive an SMS notification. The automatic transmission Subject 3 exam includes two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. Both parts are scored out of 100, with passing scores of 80 and 90, respectively. The road driving skills test covers preparation before driving, starting, right turns at intersections, U-turns, going straight through intersections, left turns at intersections, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, driving straight, changing lanes, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, and parking by the roadside. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test includes requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. Students can schedule the Subject 3 exam through the Traffic Management 12123 APP. Choosing the "system allocation mode" can improve the success rate of scheduling to some extent, but the exam session and time are not fixed. It is advisable to avoid crowded exam centers and opt for more remote ones, as they are relatively easier to schedule successfully.
