Going straight in a turning lane is a violation. Below are specific details about turning lanes: 1. Intersections with left-turn signals but no U-turn signals: In the absence of no U-turn signs or dedicated U-turn signals, vehicles can make a U-turn as long as they do not interfere with normal traffic flow. The solid line of the central divider will change to a dashed line near the intersection, allowing vehicles to make a U-turn in this area. 2. No prohibition signs imply U-turn is allowed: When passing through an intersection, if there are no no left-turn or no U-turn signs, drivers do not need to pay attention to traffic light changes when making a U-turn. However, if there are signs indicating "U-turn allowed when left-turn signal is green" or "U-turn allowed when red light is on," drivers must observe the red light when making a U-turn.

Driving straight in a turning lane is definitely a traffic violation. I've seen many similar situations over the years of driving. For example, when an intersection is designed, the turning lane is specifically for a certain direction. If you force your way straight, it disrupts the entire traffic flow, and other drivers may be caught off guard, leading to rear-end collisions or side-swipe accidents. Once, I was driving with a friend who tried to save time by going straight in a right-turn lane, only to be caught by a camera, fined 200 yuan, and had points deducted—truly not worth the risk. In fact, China's Road Traffic Safety Law clearly stipulates that drivers must follow lane markings. This isn't just about rules; it's about safety. I recommend paying more attention to ground arrows and traffic signals during daily driving and changing lanes in advance to avoid such troubles—ensuring both safety and peace of mind.

Can You Continue Immediately After Failing the First Attempt at Subject 2?

Regardless of which part you fail in Subject 2, you must start over for the second attempt. Here are the specific details about Subject 2: Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. Test Content: The test items for small vehicles include five mandatory parts: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving. For large vehicles, the test items include stake test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, crossing a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing through a width-limited gate, navigating continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy and foggy conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

Is it okay to idle the car in place for a long time?

Long-term idling in place is not recommended. Here is more information about idling in place: 1. Reasons: Long-term idling in place affects the car's engine, as it can lead to an increase in carbon deposits inside the engine. 2. Correct approach: After starting the engine, you can engage the gear and drive for a while, which is beneficial for the car's engine, transmission, battery, and tires. 3. Proper warm-up method: Drive at low speeds. After idling in place for half a minute to one minute, when the RPM stabilizes, you can engage the gear and start driving. Keep the RPM below 2000, shift gears gently, and accelerate smoothly. This is the most standard and correct warm-up method, which is energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and reduces carbon deposits.

How soon can I take the second test after failing the first one in Subject 2?

On the day of the Subject 2 test, you will have two opportunities to take the exam. If you fail the first attempt, you can proceed with the second test. Below are specific details about Subject 2: Failure to park in reverse: Some students tend to get nervous during the test. The system judges the main reason for failing to park in reverse as driving too fast, poor clutch control, and inaccurate stopping points, leading to failure in the first test item of Subject 2. Crossing the line while reversing: There are various situations where the line is crossed during reverse parking in the test. For example, turning the steering wheel too late, the car body not being straight, or driving too fast. Not following the prescribed route: Due to nervousness during the test, some students proceed directly to the next test item after completing the right reverse parking, neglecting the left reverse parking.

If You Fail the First Time in Subject 2, Is the Second Attempt Immediately After?

For Subject 2, regardless of which part you make a mistake in, you will have to start over during the second attempt. Below are detailed introductions about Subject 2: Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, referred to as the field driving skill test. Test Content: The test items for small vehicles include five mandatory parts: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curved path. The test items for large vehicles include: stake test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, passing a single-plank bridge, driving on a curved path, turning at a right angle, passing a width-limited gate, passing continuous obstacles, driving on undulating roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulating highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountainous roads, tunnels, rainy and foggy weather, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

What is the fuel consumption of the Palisade?

The fuel consumption of the Palisade is 13L/100KM. Below are the specific reasons for high fuel consumption in vehicles: 1. Affected by temperature: Temperature fluctuations can cause variations in fuel consumption. In winter, lower temperatures generally lead to increased fuel consumption. 2. Lack of regular vehicle maintenance: Dirty engine oil and air filters can also result in higher fuel consumption. Contaminated oil reduces lubrication efficiency, increasing resistance in the engine's moving parts, which requires more energy to overcome, thereby raising fuel consumption. 3. Insufficient tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tires and the road, leading to greater friction and driving resistance, which in turn increases fuel consumption. 4. Excessive carbon buildup in the vehicle: Carbon deposits can accumulate in the throttle body, fuel injectors, intake manifold, and piston tops. Excessive carbon buildup in any of these areas can cause incomplete combustion, resulting in higher fuel consumption.
